Let me give it a go . . .

1.  I climbed within 200 feet of the top of Mt. Fuji, but did not make the summit due to altitude sickness.
2.  When I was in the Navy, my ship was in a horrible collision, but not a single life was lost.
3.  I have caught a live alligator while on vacation in Florida.

Okay, Trevor . . . something is amiss when you don't mention underpants in one of your posts.

Here are 3 for me:

1. I have never been arrested.
2. I once had a girlfriend who was both a stripper and a wiccan.
3. I once had sex with a divorced mom who lived in my neighborhood and was 25 years older than me.

My turn:

1. I was born and raised in what was then Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe): the English translation of the city's name I was born in (Bulawayo) means 'place of the killing'.  :buggedout:
2. I absolutely love anti-South African films.
3. I like to let the Joan Collins in me out occasionally.

 :teddyr: :teddyr:



Here, 1& 2 are the truth and 3 is the lie. I think.

Nope. The top one was a lie. I actually DID kidnap my own sister. She had recently turned nineteen so she was a legal adult, but she's VERY immature. She tried to run away, but my parents and I knew that'd be a dumb idea. I spotted her trying to sneak out the back door. I went after her and tried to reason with her, but she was on a hormonal rage and wouldn't be reasonable. I chased after her but I'm really out of shape, so she was pretty far ahead of me. She was at the end of the street when Mom came speeding up to us in her Prius. She demanded my sister and I get in the car. My sister refused so my Dad pulled her kicking and screaming into the car. We put her in the back and enabled the child safety locks. She screamed at us how she's an adult and she can call the cops. I told her "Prove you're an adult. Act like one!"

When we got back she called the cops. Mom didn't even care. My parents were chewed out but nobody was arrested. The cops scolded me like I was a twelve-year-old. I didn't care. I didn't regret doing it and I still don't regret it now. Today my sister is twenty-two and still acts like she's in high school, but she didn't have a meltdown like that again. We still have a positive relationship even after all that, and I'm glad that she didn't get away. I don't even want to think about where she'd end up if I didn't give chase. You can say that she was an adult and it was her choice to make, but if you knew her you'd know that despite how old she is she never really matured.

If it makes you feel better, I believed you kidnapped your sister.  I think it's unlikely you saved a child from a fire, though.

1. I once felled a fully-grown tree with my bare hands.
2. I've been on television (as an active participant) at least half a dozen times.
3. I've met three prime ministers of Canada.

Trevor,

I have paid attention to your posts in the past because of my high regard for you. I remember you saying before that you were born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), but I'm pretty sure I remember a comment or two demonstrating a fascination for Joan Collins.

However, neither of those matter because I positively KNOW that #2 is a lie.

Trevor's is obvious; he's made his disdain for SA-bashing well-known!
And, no, I never caught a live alligator.  Darn things are surprisingly FAST!!!!

Hmm..  Indy, I think #2 is the lie.

Three from me, since we're going kinda free form on this.

#1. My bicuspid teeth have an extra root.
#2. I once punched someone in the face for mocking my masculinity.
#3. I don't know how to ride a bike.

Here's mine:

1. In college signed a pledge to fight for Ukraine if they ever sought to break away from the Soviet Union.
2. I have written two novels and between them I've collected more than 40 rejection notices from publishers.
3. I once smoked crack cocaine and it had no noticeable effect on me.

DS, I don't think you actually went to a comic convention dreseed as Palpatine. I think if you did you would have made it a point to actually use the name Palpatine.

Second time around for me:

1. I am a 100% celibate bisexual.
2. I am a more or less secret* cross dresser.
3. I have had problems with substance abuse in the past.

* Not after this post is published, anyway.  :wink:

That's an easy one, especially after the previous Joan Collins reference. I'm going to say you've never had substance abuse problems.

I think the crack cocaine thing was the one thing that seemed so outrageous it must be true. Plus, I'm familiar with how cocaine works. I also like to think that you are creative enough to have written two novels.

I don't believe that you ever pledged anything for Ukrainian rights. Then again, that's a really weird thing to make up. Still, I'm saying #1 is untrue.

Wrong, JaseSF!
I'll guess, for you, number 1 is a lie, and for Crazy Bull, maybe #3?

Jim, I'm going to go with 1 and 2 again: I've never met anyone that doesn't know how to ride a bike.

Okay, I'll play:

1. Both of my sons were born with, and continue to hold, two citizenships.
2. My first instrument was the guitar, but I can also play mandolin, bass, tenor banjo, and bouzouki.
3. I can whistle both outwardly and inwardly.

Hint: one of these is a partial truth.

I'll call number 3 a lie.

With mine, # 2 was the lie. I never hung out with Great Big Sea although my Mom actually met them once.

I'll try another one.

1. My little home community has a fish in its name.
2. I once overran the top score on Defender for the Atari 2600 three times in a row.
3. I have never ever tasted any beverage containing alcohol.

I'm guessing number 2 for Jase


here we go again:
1) I like pork
2) I hate Chris Brown
3) I had chocolate with a Jack Daniel's liquor creme in the middle.

I think number 3 is a lie.

My turn:

1.  I watch R. Kelly's "Trapped In The Closet" EVERY TIME I see it on tv.
2.  Because of my job, as of right now, I've saved the lives of 8 different people.
3.  I'm also a playwright, having had 7 full-length plays and 2 musicals produced thus far. 

I say 3 is a lie.

Nope, that one's true.  Nothing done on a huge scale (no Broadway yet)...

Very impressive!

I'd say #1 is an obvious lie.

I saved the life of a friend living of the west coast while living on the east coast.
My first concert I've ever been to was The Oak Ridge Boys.
I went to a midnight showing of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Pt 2.

Okay, I'll play.

1. I have eaten meals with three different Nobel Prize winners.
2. I have published on the Internet computer code demonstrating encryption techniques
3. I have a pilot's license for two engine airplanes

The third one is a lie.  I remember our topic on that movie!  You were the last one to post anything on it days later!  You liar!

Okay, I'll play.

1. I have eaten meals with three different Nobel Prize winners.
2. I have published on the Internet computer code demonstrating encryption techniques
3. I have a pilot's license for two engine airplanes

did everyone give up on mine? :question: It's....1. I just don't like the taste of pork and since I live in a very diverse city, I have other options as well. :twirl:

I've seen your website, so I'm betting #2 is true. I also know you're a pretty big DIY guy, so I say #3 is also probably true.

I say #1 is a lie, but only in the sense that you're exaggerating the numbers. Scientists love eating dinners, but I'm guessing you only ate with one or two.

1. I once took two girls a school dance.
2. I've been accused of cheating in a triva game because no one else knew the answer.
3. At point one in my life, I have owned 8 pets all at once.

MY TURN!!!

1.  I love peanut butter, ham, and cheese sandwiches (that's all together, BTW!)
2.  I once made a 77 Dodge Aspen go airborne for about 50 feet!
3.  I had to have 28 stitches once as a result of a dog bite!

MY TURN!!!

2.  I once made a 77 Dodge Aspen go airborne for about 50 feet!
3.  I had to have 28 stitches once as a result of a dog bite!

I call number 1 false

I'll do another one.

1. I called both my dad and my former stepdad last Sunday and wished them a Happy Father's Day and NEITHER of them corrected me.
2. When I was a younger my mother used to babysit for extra money.  We once had this toddler named Adam who would sleep with his feet and face in the mattress and sticking in the air like a pyramid. 
3. I had trouble sitting through The Blair Witch Project because certain scenes gave me motion sickness.

1. I've been the only person awake in the house since about 8:15 tonight, so I sat and read The Order of the Phoenix while evening came on outside.

2. There are five birthdays in four days in my extended family during the last week of May, four of them on the same day.

3. I have a phobia about taking a bubble bath, since it creeps me out not to be able to see through the water.

Three is the lie. Therefore one and two are not. (See what I did there? I used deduction.)

2, but only because you're changing/fudging the numbers.

Ooooh.. you're right!  How did you know?

I'm told some people DID have that problems, luckily I wasn't one of them.

1.  I was once paid $1200 for a single arrowhead.
2.  My mom got stopped by the Secret Service while going to hear President Ford speak because she had a banana in her purse.
3.  I have sampled possum stew and found it too greasy for my taste.

I'm almost betting that 1 is the lie. You are more about the hunt and the thrill of finding them yourself.

Ah, I misread the first one. I thought you said you paid that much for one. My mistake.


Generally that is true of me, but about 12 years ago when my kids were young, I sold a number of my best finds to pay for medical bills.  One of them was a white Scottsbluff point that fetched $1200.  So #1 is true.

Down to 50/50.  Want to try again?

Can't I just pick on SUCKER PUNCH some more? That's easy.  :teddyr:  :cheers:

1 I got stopped by the Secret Service while going to hear President Obama speak in my home town for reasons I still don't understand.

2 I once paid $70 for one movie.

3 I've lived all over Wisconsin.

1. I was born in a city whose name translates as "Place of The Killing"
2. I share my birthday with Harry Connick Jr, Moby, Ludacris, Brian DePalma, Maria Bartiromo, Ariana Richards, Brad Bird, John Buckland, Taraji Henson and Virginia Madsen, among others.
3. I stayed a virgin until I was 36.

2.?

All three are true.  :teddyr:

The city of Bulawayo in Zimbabwe's original name was Gubulawayo, meaning the place of the killing.
My birthday is 9/11 unfortunately.
Yes: I lost 'it' at that ripe old age with a special person in my life who is still special.  :smile:

I am sorry, Trevor, but the ancient rules of 2T&1L require those who insert all truths to lose a toe. Which of the ten are you least fond of?

3.?

1. I have never seen a Rocky movie.

2.  I witnessed a wingwalker and her pilot crash, burn, and die at an air show.

3. I have stood in the room where Vincent Van Gogh gave up the ghost.

I'll say #2?

Well, you don't strike me as a Rocky fan . . .

I'll go again!

1. At my high school performance of "Annie Get Your Gun" one of the make-up girls told me I was one of the few guys she seen that actually "looked good" in make-up.
2. Our family once visited Canada and, being the adventurous types, ate at a McDonalds.
3. I have an unfortunate fascination of videos with pusy and/or infection wounds being squeezed out and cleaned.

I'll say - #2!

Actually... no, that is true!

Down to 50/50.

1. In London in 1998 I told a local I was English but I wanted to try to sound American and he said I "almost had the accent right."

2. Just before my son was born I craved peanut brittle with soul-deadening intensity, a snack I have never been able to stand before or since.

3. Once? When I was (not) at band camp in Dayton, Ohio? There was this man in the Air Force? And he told us he played soprano saxophone in a jazz band? And to prove it he played that sax like non-stop when we weren't working? So I tried to kill him by driving over him with my car? But he moved out of the way because I was only backing toward him at like 3 MPH even if I did intend to break his sax-playing hands or something? So he got the message and quit playing his sax when other people were trying to read? And a lot of people thanked me for that because he was so f**king obnoxious we were all about to kill him, and we were not a group of people you wanted plotting your death?

#3 sounds so over the top, but also plausible...but I'm guessing that

1.

1.  I am slowly committing suicide by cheeseburger.
2.  I once found an arrowhead in the parking lot of a convenience store.
3.  I took a semester of Russian in college, but only remember a few words in the language now.

3

#1, for sure!

OK, this one is tricky . . .

1.  I got in serious dutch with the XO on my ship for having a T-shirt made depicting our collision with another vessel.
2.  One of my Navy buddies was a former embalmer who got banned from the business for having sex with a corpse.
3.  My sister used to email back and forth with Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, before he became super-famous.

1. Even though we had a one-day Paddock Visitor pass and it was during a time when the track was closed til the fall meet, I almost got arrested for hopping a fence and two guard rails to put a rose on Ruffian's grave in the infield at Belmont Park.

2. I am in the midst of my longest stretch of celibacy since 2012....

3. I can honestly say I am worth more dead than alive....

#2 Sadly, I've got you beat.

:(

We should help each other!   :tongueout:

Wait, in all seriousness though.. aren't you married?  (Not to get too personal here, but you brought the subject up...)

1. I once seriously injured someone I was supposed to be giving first aid to during an exercise.
2. The first time I visited London, over night the IRA blew up several bombs, each in places we had visited during the day.
3. I once got into trouble for playing air guitar while guarding the front gate at 4 am.

Ha! He took our oldest on a trip to California for two weeks, but he's home now, so....

Oh!! No, I didn't mean it had been going on since 2012, I meant....since 2012 this was the longest....oh, nevermind.

1 I once  visited a gas station on the way to the house of an ex.... I ended up cloggging the toilet there

2 for some reason when I was on grade school my entire class saw the verdict of the OJ murder case live on a tv

3 once when I was drunk I deficated in the middle of a street

3. It was someone else, right?

Gonna guess #2 because you were no longer in grade school at the time.

2 actually happened, try again

1 during a power outage in college I was in the bathroom and struggled mightily to escape the stall in total darkness

2 I've been to over 20 concerts

3 I cursed like a sailor in one of my college classes on a regular basis because the professor started the cycle after cursing on the first day

1. I am having lunch today with a man who once bought a black market liver in Argentina, for his transplant.

2. When I was a kid I asked a Secret Service agent at a private party if he ever got airsick riding on helicopters, and he did not answer me or even look down at me, so I awkwardly walked away, my cheeks red.

3. I used to be friends with this guy in Texas who sailed on the SS Norway when he was a little boy, and when he met the captain, the first thing he asked him was, "Where would you put somebody if they died while we were sailing?" So the captain took this seven year old and showed him they had a genuine morgue aboard the vessel.

I'm gonna guess #2, because I don't see you giving up that easily even when you were a kid.

 1. Can only be true if you were awesomely inebriated, which, given that you were in college, well....

3. May be true, who knows, some professors do like to punctuate their ungrateful rants against white male dominance with liberal worship at the Church of the Eff-Bomb.

BUT

I like the sound of 2. being deceptive, because it could easily come with a Kafka-esque reveal that YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO A CONCERT IN YOUR LIFE!!!!

So we'll go with number two to win.

Let me try this:

1.  When I was a teenager, I was nearly crushed by a 55-gallon barrel full of water while I rode in the back of my folk's pick-up truck.

2.  I walked in on two people having noisy sex on a vinyl couch in a kinda flop house I once lived in.

3.  My most viewed blog post is a squeaky-clean article called "Debra Blee -- Wet and Naked".

3 is too improbable to be a lie, 2 seems more likely, so I'll go with #1 as the lie.

Okay, these are not mine, they are from my friend, who gamely and without being bolstered by me explaining why she should, replied to my email request that she send me two truths and a lie.

So she said:

1. Because a crayon got left in the dryer lots of our white laundry now has red blotches.

2. I've made friendship bracelets out of mint dental floss.

3. I had a tooth knocked out when I fell off a parked pickup truck when I was a preschooler.

Let's see how good she is at this cruel affair called lying for sport....

1. I crashed my parents' Toyota station wagon when I was seven: I didn't know what the thing called a handbrake was for and I ended up in a ditch.  :buggedout:
2. I love films like Lethal Weapon 2 and Cry Freedom.
3. I am both a Star Trek and a Star Wars fan.

I'll call #3 as the lie.

You made that one far too easy, Trev.  #2 is a whopper and you know it!! LOL

Yes, indeed.  :teddyr:

I was planning a review of Cry Freedom for our site but Brother Java said he liked the film, so I dropped the idea.

1. I am the son of a two-fisted feminist and a former street thug who later became a cop.
2. I have no idea how to edit a film or how to thread and operate a film projector.
3. My friends in the LGBTIQ community - one person in particular - call me Joan, for some reason.

1. When I was seventeen, it was a very good year.

2. When we were flying to New Zealand we were so low at one point that the captain announced, "If those on the left care to look down, there is what appears to be a pod of blue whales."

3. There is marijuana growing wild in our woods, likely descended from seeds my dad and his friends scattered when they smoked there in the early '70s.

Hey, Trevor. Review it, please. It would be more informative to hear comments from someone who lives there than the Amnesty International version of the story.

And, yes, I said I liked it, mainly for the performances. The political elements of the film always struck me as a simple "Hurting Biko was bad, m'kay?".

1. My niece and nephew call me Uncle Zombie for some reason.
2. Unlike most adults who don't know me well and find me scary and intense, children like me and are not scared by me.
3. I have never been in a theatre / cinema watching a movie on my own.

1.  I found the last boss fight in DARK SOULS to be surprisingly easy to beat.
2.  I am currently wearing a Dallas Cowboys T-shirt.
3.  I actually bought a new 10-gallon aquarium to use in a VBS stunt, because I didn't feel like cleaning out the one my pet snake is currently in.

1. I have been in three different states today.

2. I once rode and elevator with George Clooney's father, Nick.

3. I found the final boss on Dark Souls to be surprisingly easy to beat.

1 I walked 4 miles today

2 I've been playing fantasy sports since I was in high school

3 In college I was friends with  a guy who sold some weed, I found out he did this after he graduated

considering your job I consider 3 to be extremely unlikely so I'm gonna go with that

First of all, you were correct on mine above . . .
    and secondly, 1 is the lie for you, not #3 - curse your eyes!!!   :hatred: :lookingup: :bouncegiggle:

#2 because you hate all sports, real and imagined?

#2 is real  :teddyr:

3.

1. I put a school bully in hospital after he made the mistake of thinking he could push a nerd too far: he spent three great weeks there.
2. I have seen James Cameron's Titanic several times.
3. I am almost a total recluse these days but do manage to get out sometimes.

2. You have seen it a multitude of times.

1.  I had a shrimp platter for lunch yesterday.
2.  I think SUCKER PUNCH is one of the greatest cinematic statements on the human condition ever rendered into film.
3.  While in Australia, I briefly got to hold a deadly sea snake.

1. I once watched a drunk guy successfully leap over a moving car, just like in the Nike commercial that was on back then, only the car was going more slowly, and he jumped left side to right instead of front to back, and off a wall.

2. In college my roommate asked me to hold her bag so she could go to the restroom after we'd been shopping, and one of my teachers came in and as we were talking I saw his eyes dip down to the bag and then jerk back up, and only then did I realize there was a pack of condoms pressed visibly against the side of the bag.

3. When I was eighteen I was hypnotically regressed to what I saw as a life lived in Biloxi, Mississippi at the beginning of the last century, in which I was a little girl who died of typhus in early childhood, and I realized the unpleasantness of dying that way seemed to tie into the fact that I have never liked the accent of that part of the country.

I'm guessing 3

Ding ding ding!!!  #1 is the lie!

Not 3., nope....

1

1. I minored in Physical Education in college. (Try being a straight girl in that demographic...)

2. I know someone who sent Neil Gaiman a neck-down nude selfie back in the days of Polaroids, and she was technically a bit underage.

3. For the first time in ages I ate meat last night, because my eight-year-old proudly cooked us all dinner.

1 I have over 500 movies in my collection and have seen the vast majority of them at least once

2 I have tattoos

3 Throughout high school and college one of my best friends and I kept getting mistaken for one another

OK, for this one . . . I'll say #2 is a big fat fib!

All good ideas, but I'll call #2 as the falsehood.

How about #1 as the lie this time?

Actually, no, that's the truth, and it caused me no end of griping from my advisors. The plot doth thicken....

1.  My failing AC unit worked perfectly last night due to a rare summer cool front.
2.  My yard is currently in desperate need of mowing.
3.  I've lost over 10 pounds in the last six weeks.

I'm thinking #3, but the question is: what part are you fibbing about?

I'm gonna say 3 because losing that much weight in such a short time is difficult

1 I took a 5 mile walk today

2 my name was on a tv show once

3 I played football all 4 years I was in high school

3.

1. I have been to Moscow.

2. I have worked in Washington DC.

3. I used to hang out with someone whose estranged father lied to his family about being a POW in Vietnam.

OK, this is a good one.  Hmmm . . . I'm guessing #1, but honestly, on this one I have no idea!

This will be "Two Truth and a Lie: Stuff I've Written" edition

1. I once wrote a script for a skit called The Andrea Yates Daycare Center. 
2. I once wrote a fake ad for "C-RAP" a CD that combines country and rap music.
3. I once did a regular Livejournal where every week I'd post scores from various internet Flash games and challenge people to beat them.

Oopsie!

OK, let me see - I'll say maybe #2?  Although it's a hella funny  idea!

Believe it or not, NO that one is true.  I don't think I still have the original text file (maybe if I did a deep web search I could find one of the places I posted it to) but off-hand I can still remember some of the "hits' that were listed as song titles like

"Drunk At The Drive-by"
"Doing Time (In A West Virginia Coal Mine"
"Jesus and Mama Always Paroled Me"
"f**k the Police! (And the Yankees!)"
"There's Something People Like About A Pimpin' Man"

Oh, and I just came up with another one just now...

"Gold Digger Took My Gold Teeth!"

1. I have been known to cross-dress occasionally.
2. I dislike nature and playing / watching sports in general.
3. My clothes go to a dry cleaners / launderette monthly.

Hard one, Trevor!

1. So did Mae West, and he was kinda hot for a drag queen...... I think this one is true.
2. Sounds utterly you, so true.
3. I guess it's either that or get out the chisel when it's clean underwear time, but I will say this one is the lie.
Sooo... 3!

 :teddyr: :teddyr:

2 is the lie: I am a nerd - very proud of it - but I love the outdoors and playing sports: soccer and cricket are my games.  :smile:

1. I have an incredibly full day ahead at my work, so busy it daunts me and makes me question my ability to achieve what lies before me in this the quiet before the tempest.

2. I found a British .303 Enfield rifle round lying on the ground while walking along a pathway of what was in 1916, the Somme battlefield near Beaumont-Hamel, France, and while gnarly after ninety-odd years in the mud, it was still probably live, so I laid it back down.

3. When I was sixteen I got hugely in trouble at home because I went to Chicago for the weekend with some friends, without asking ahead of time. In the words of the Nike commercial of the time, I just did it.

I have to go with #1. I don't see you daunted by much. Plus, I kinda doubt it is terribly quiet in your home, unless everyone but you was gone already.

I'm thinking #2!!!

How' bout 3?

1 technically I've never been on a  date

2 I'm an early adapter of new technology

3 I had a Myspace before that became a ghost town

One before bed . . . guess away!

1.  I once wore a very realistic looking set of horns coming home from a Renaissance festival.  Got lots of strange looks from passing vehicles!
2.  I was a virgin till age 21.
3.  While mowing today, I ran over and killed a small ribbon snake.  I felt bad about it, too . . .

All three could be true but I'm going to go with 2 as I stayed a virgin until 36.  :smile:

Nope, number 2 is quite true!
Down to 50/50 - try again?

1 technically I've never been on a  date

2 I'm an early adapter of new technology

3 I had a Myspace before that became a ghost town

1. You're a handsome dude so 1 is the lie.

3.

Unless you're trapping me deliberately, it's number 3.

Since nobody made a guess at my last trio, I guess I win! Chicken-dinner-chicken-dinner. (Not that I eat chickens, I just like to gloat.)

1. My vulgar words posted here yesterday were a quote from that fine homophiliac series, Queer As Folk.

2. I have felt incredibly hyper the last few days.

3. A hot air balloon semi-crash-landed in my dad's Cub Scout leader's back yard.

1. I spent years feeling vaguely guilty that I loved someone more than the person I married, only to have it rubbed in my face this year, that so-did-he!

2. I have the weirdest feeling that lately my old dog has been telling us goodbye.

3. I have seen every Robot Chicken except one, because it's Zen to always have one episode to look forward to.

guessing 2, no reasoning behind it

3 because it seems that seems vey time consuming

No, I been hyper all right...

1 for no reason at all

1) I have seen Manos: The Hands of Fate more times then The Godfather

2) I've been up since 2 AM this morning

3) I walked 5 miles today

2, only because you're fudging on the number.

1. I was once SERIOUSLY tempted late one night to sideswipe some a***ole on a motorcycle who kept speeding up everything I tried to pass him and then would deliberately slow down when I got behind him.

2. Every year I buy Girl Scout Cookies from my niece(s) cause I feel it's my duty as an uncle.  (I says niece(s) because one is now too old for GS but another has grow up and joined them.)

3. I once paid a month's rent for a friend of mine on a local apartment after he got fired from the hotel where he lived at.  I've never been paid back (but didn't really expect to be.)

1 no reasoning behind it

1. Although I am not sure why or what the connection was, at one of my grandpa's Fourth of July parties when I was a child, Jim Neighbors was a guest.

2. I went on a trip to Pittsburgh with my dad in 1994, and they were putting the finishing touches on the Andy Warhol Museum, which we passed, and one of the workers there was wearing a silver Warhol wig under his hardhat.

3. In school I got griped at by the principal for having a mirror on my locker door, because it slipped off and broke, and he even got on my case for cleaning it up, myself, saying I could have been cut, and I should have told the teacher so a janitor could take care of it.

Probably wrong, but I'm gonna guess #1 as the fib.

1.  I provide detailed technical assistance to veterans for five internet services offered by or connected to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

2.  I own over 100 gothic romance novels from the 60s and 70s because, when I was a kid, the covers always reminded me of horror movies.

3.  I once had to walk over two miles in a blizzard, with wind chill factors reaching 30 below 0 degrees, and all I had to wear over my regular clothes was an unlined military trench coat.

(pulls out Pokeball) Number 3!  I choose you!

#2, because you have gluten issues and can't eat the cookies. Or something like that.

1.  My absence over the last couple of days was due to a family medical emergency.
2.  I once found an arrowhead, neatly broken in half, in the parking lot of a convenience store.
3.  I find rats to be disgusting and loathsome creatures, that really creep me out!

Used to hunt them down and kill them with a machete when I was a kid.

1. One of my fairly close friends has killed scores of people during his time in the military, and says in fishing 10% of the anglers catch 90% of the fish, and in combat 10% of the units inflict 90% of the casualties, and he's always been attached to one of those.

2. My father speaks German and Russian.

3. This morning I dreamed I was at a lake with this weird man I used to know, and he was going to give me a lift back to my car at a garage, when suddenly he said, "Look, the sun is turning into the face of a baby, like on TV." And I looked up and instead of a baby's face, what I saw was this black hole in the sky, and I woke up real freaked.

I'm gonna say 1

 1. Is not correct. I am friends with such a person.

guessing 3 because 2 seems more likely to me

1 I have an impressive collection on sports memorabilia

2 At one point in time I owned 4 different copies of Plan 9 From Outer Space....at the same time

3 One Halloween when I was a kid I dressed up as Scorpion.

1.

this is a fact  :smile:

3.

Oooh ooh!!

Number one is the flaming mistruth in that set!

1 I have seen every James Bond film, not counting 1967 Casino Royal, at least 5 times

2 I once inadvertently had an affair with  a married woman

3 I've been to Lambeau field in my younger days

I'm going with #2 because you strike me as smart enough to keep that from happening.

the woman I fell in love with at work and bought a promise ring for was fired for making out with one of the cooks in a  cooler at work

 :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad:

this actually happened


I found out after this happened she was married

1.  I was once asked to resign as pastor of a church, because I was "too disconnected from the congregation."
2.  While in Israel last year, I saw a huge, bloated dead camel beside the road.  I think he'd been hit by a truck.
3.  One day last year I put on my boot without shaking it out first and got stung by a scorpion.

Then let's go with 1. (And BTW I would not have said 2 was the lie, it had the feeling of being true to it.)

You should've saved number 3 for wintertime, 'cause your pants is on firrre!

Let's kick it up a notch and raise the odds. One of these is a lie, the rest are true. And for the record, I am just about out of interesting truths after this, so if my truths in future start being, like, "Um, I own two dogs" that'll be why.


1. When I was sixteen I said the eff-word in front of my mother for the first time, and I was saying it at her.

2. As a minor I used to sometimes steal library books, read them, and smuggle them back in a timely manner, because much of what I wanted to read fell under the "18 and up" restrictions our sub-fascist local government imposed on the library system.

3. Last week we were notified we had made $20,000.00 in purchases on our Kroger Plus Card, and were given some nice personalized coupons, and a dollar off gasoline at any Kroger Fuel Center.

4. I once saw someone tear another person's middle fingernail off with a pair of pliers. Unlike what they show on TV, it involved a rolling motion rather than a straightforward pluck.

5. At a charity fundraiser at a golf course during the 1989 ATP tournament, one of the players hit on my mother (who was in her twenties then and looked younger than she was). Three years later I was watching Wimbledon on TV and she said, "Hey, that's the one I told you about." And it was Andre Agassi, all dressed in white, playing for the championship.

Let's see - all of these have some degree of possibility, but I think I am going to call . . . heck, it is 4 or 5.  Gonna go with 5, I think.

No way - it's gotta be # 1!  Who says the eff to their mom and lives to tell the tale?

Is it 4, then?

Has to be 3 then - the Kroger story.

1 In college when I was involved with the radio station on campus I walked in on two people getting it on atop the only sofa on station.

2 For the most part I've never left a place I worked on good terms for various reasons.

3 When I was at a friends high school graduation party a classmate of mine, who was seeing a classmate of mine walked up to me arriving and said "All guys masterbate."

I was tempted to say 1 but I'm going with 3.  :teddyr:

1. My confirmation name is Maeve, which is a Latinized spelling of Maeb, who was a legendary figure from Irish mythology, retroactively turned into a saint.

2. Eighteen summers ago I went on a weekend-long hunger strike that was being undertaken at universities around the country to protest the unequal availability of food in the world.

3. I have knowingly slept in a bed in which someone died.

I think #2, because you don't like silly, meaningless activisim.

3. I have knowingly slept in a bed in which someone died.

1. I change the bedsheets here every day.

2. I never got into the Little House on the Prairie series.

3. I once had an eleven-match winning streak going in tennis tournaments.

I'll let someone else take a stab at ER's post this morning.
Here is my contribution:

1.  There is a dead goat next to our water trough right now.
2.  I chafed myself very badly walking down the trail from Masada in wet swim trunks.
3.  Yesterday I caught a small rat snake in our yard and played with it a bit before releasing it.


So which is it???  :teddyr:

Since #2 is a true, I will guess #3, mostly because I want to believe #1 is true.



I will go with #1.  Just the thought of wrestling with a fitted sheet on a daily basis sounds like a form of torture.


I'm going to go with #3 because it sounds a little too mundane.  I think you mentioned recently that you've been having bad luck with the goats lately  :bluesad:.

 

Clean slate . . . so my turn!

1.  I badly freaked out a close friend with something I wrote yesterday.
2.  My church had a near-record crowd today!
3.  My family doctor is a former State Senator who once met Ronald Reagan in person.

I should have disqualified you from answering that last one!! ROFL

OK, I am going to go with #3, because your husband would have got you a new car by now.
(So which of your names will the WINDS OF WINTER character use?)

surprisingly enough that actually happened

had the girl in question not been seeing someone at the time I'm pretty sure based on what she said I could've/would've boinked
her that night

Hmmm . . . #1?

1. Anna Nicole Smith was Indianasmith's cousin.

2. There have been Bigfoot sightings in my area lately.

3. I wore a tiny gold crucifix today.

#1, just no way

1. I have no siblings but I do have three special sisters and one special brother.
2. I might soon be interviewed for a documentary on Princess Diana.
3. I intend getting rid of all my shattered undies in September and will switch to panties.  :buggedout:

Hmmmm . . . gonna go with #3 because someone who admires women's undergarments would NEVER subject them to THAT!

1.  I have to sleep with a CPAP every night.
2.  I have never watched any of the ROCKY movies in their entirety.
3.  I am a big fan of THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise, however.

You are correct, sir!  I've never seen any of those stupid racing movies.

1. I have a friend who says she hates "sweet milk" so when she has a bowl of cereal, she pours a little milk in, stirs and waits a second, pours that off and puts more milk in, saying the second milk is not as sweet.

2. I once could not bear to delete some files that I never wanted to see again, so I put them on a flash drive and super-glued the lid on, giving me a solution of them existing yet not being accessible to me.

3. My son will eat Brussels sprouts as long as they are cut in half lengthwise, and without any irony or double-meaning, he calls them "green balls."

Since I have always hated the taste of Brussel sprouts (used to try and swallow them a child without chewing them which led to couple of choking incidents) I am going to guess 3.

1) I used to write short stories for female friends who had lost their sex drive to help get their *ahem* juices flowing again.

2) I met a really hot girl while waiting to go into a Motorhead concert, who was really nice and had a fantastic personality who according to my friends was coming onto me all day and night long and I completely failed to notice. I saw her a couple of months later but was too shy to go over and speak to her.

3) In my younger years when I worked as a roadie I once forgot to plug in a converter to change the voltage supply from the European 220V to the US 110V and blew up the bands speakers and amps forcing the entire tour to be cancelled.

1) I detest coffee creamer

2) I cursed out the Dean of Students at my college in his office

3) my voice was once heard on a local radio station

3.

this actually happened, the station made me a CD copy of my contribution

You are correct, sir, though maybe I should've termed this 2.5 truths, since he actually does call the detested vegetables "green balls."

As for yours, let me say....3.

OK, looks like the board is clear, so here goes:

1.  I have been handcuffed and ridden to jail in the back of a police car.
2.  My mother was stopped from going to hear President Ford because she had a banana in her purse.
3.  I met Chuck Norris briefly at a hotel lobby in Austin when he was out campaigning for Mike Huckabee.

I almost said one, so let's say one now instead of then, since I can't go back and say one then, because then is the past, I can only say one now, at this time, not (to review) then, so one. One it is. I say one. Is one right?

Hmm.  Let's go for Door Number One!

1. With the exception of 13 (which was fine) and 30 (which was great!), all my other iconic years, 16, 21, 25, have been rough times, so considering that I am facing 40 in two years, I am thinking of building a bomb shelter.

2. I have twice posted 2T&AL offerings here that no one guessed at, leaving me feeling like they must've been too tough for you guys, so...I won!

3. One of my friends took correspondence courses from the Church of Satan and said people have the wrong idea about them, they are actually all about human freedom.

1) I have an ear wax problem

2) I once peed on someones car

3) in grade school one of my classmates brought a bottle of alcohol to school

I'm going with #3 but only on the first part as the Church of Satan really was a about human/secular freedom, a festival of earthly pleasure and pain. Oh, look, Cenobites!  :buggedout:

UR kreckt sir, #3 twas.

Hmm.  3 then?

1. When we got engaged I told my husband that if he had a bachelor party we wouldn't be having a wedding.

2. I once tried to breathe in helium from a balloon to make my voice go funny and ended up sneezing and it made it sneeze sound like a whistle.

3. I have hugged Liz Phair.

Well you already told us about number one on a previous post (see we do pay attention). I have no idea who Liz Phair is, so I will go with 2.

Yes, though technically I have also posted three on here. But you're right about two. You guys are definitely too astute for me anymore, so I guess the challenge is on.

All right, raising the ante here if anyone wants to have a go. Five statements, any could be a truth, any could be a lie. Tall order, time intensive, not for the faint of heart, or for those possessing of other venues for free time....

Is each statement true or false?

Ready?

1. A friend of mine was looking for artifacts along a gravel bar in Texas years ago and there was a big cooler of ice with soft drinks in it and when his young daughter showed up late in the day he took out some ice and put it in a cup and gave it to her and she looked grossed out and he said what, and she said I don't eat ice out of a cooler, you guys have been peeing out here and reached into the cooler and touched the ice without washing your hands! 

I think I shall call FALSE on that one.

2. I used to buy cheesecake from a man who also drove a school bus, and who is now in prison for wiring his rental property with hidden cameras so he could spy on the young women living there.

TRUE - possibly.  Certainly interesting.

3. My friend in Austin and I used to meet up online and play Medal of Honor Allied Assault through half the night while I was working outside the country, because it helped me with the time difference, and though he was technically Jewish, he always played a Nazi because he liked their weapons.

100% TRUE!!

4. As a teenager I named my dog after The Cure's song Charlotte Sometimes, but once in a while used to fib and say she was named after the book with the same title, because it made me feel special to possess the pseudo-Gnostic knowledge that the novel inspired the song.

Certainly sounds like you, so TRUE.

5. I grew up with our inground pool under my bedroom window, and I used to be obsessively drawn to the idea that I could leap from my window into the pool some distance out, across the concrete patio. My father explained the physics of my proposed feat and the unlikelihood I would make it, and pointed out the damage I would suffer from the impact, but I was undeterred, I absolutely was possessed by this urge to try it, but what stopped me was this guy I was in love with making me swear to him I never would, because, frankly, they were right, high odds I would have made it. Yet every time I drive by our old house I think....I could have done it....

I'll call TRUE on that one too.

All righty, anyone?

1 when I was in high school I broke up a couple

2 The career center at my old college was very useful

3 I own an Atari

So how did I do?

My turn!!

1.  After hiking a trail in the Ouachita mountains earlier this week, I found a tick on my waist.
2.  I once owned a dog named Zorro.
3.  I once found a small arrowhead lying on the floor in our local Wal-Mart.  No idea how it got there.

I'll say #2 is false, based on my knowledge of college career centers.

3. creates a spark that sets your lower wardrobe aflame.

Once again: Any Could Be True, Any Could Be A Big Fat Hairy Stinky Awful Devil-Pleasing Hideous Lie.

1. I've had the same primary email since February 1999, and have said I want it etched on my tombstone.

TRUE about the email.  The tombstone bit . . . ?

2. Much to my mother's frustration, and after expending copious patience in trying to teach me, I remain musically illiterate to the point I cannot even identify a single note.

Also TRUE.

3. The only time I ever took LSD (it was one-quarter of a hit with a diamond printed on it) was such a horrible experience I never even put it in my diary. I was watching the movie SFW at the time with my friend Rob, and to this day seeing Reese Witherspoon still vaguely freaks me out. (Something about her chin disturbed me so much I had to close my eyes.)

FALSE  (I think)

4. When he was in Aruba visiting his dad, a woman asked my cousin Jared why he had a marijuana leaf on his keychain, and he told her it was an Ohio State University Buckeye logo, and she said she'd never heard of OSU, so he said, "That's okay, Hell is full of Michigan fans who have."

Probably TRUE.

5. Back in the fall of 1994, my parents went out of town, I was accidentally left alone, and one of the most meaningful days of my entire life was partly spent on a hillside near the tomb of a little-remembered US President, sitting with some boy watching boats go by on the river.

Definitely TRUE.


Good karma for a week for any perfect scores....

Good karma for a week for any perfect scores....

FOR SURE  #1!!!!

1.  My best friend is a person I have never met.
2.  We are currently getting pounded with heavy rains from Hurricane Harvey.
3.  I've never actually seen someone beat a red-headed stepchild.

I am going to guess number 3.

I wanna try!
1. I drank industrial bleach.
2.I hitch-hiked to NYC when I was 16
3.I bite the head off a snake.

By the way Indy-how bad is it where you are?  :bluesad:

Indy's is #1,ER's-I'm guessing #2.
ER is right-I never bite the head off a snake.
Now the bleach-I was at work in the factory-we were bleaching the floors. I -like any true moron-picked up a hose on the floor-put it to my mouth and turned it on. Bleach had backed up into it.  Yeah,it burned pretty bad. I went to the hospital to get my stomach pumped. They tried sticking this hose down my throat-I'm not so good at deep throating hoses. I yanked it out and signed out of the hospital. I went home and got drunk.

ER got mine right; we have gotten no rain from the hurricane.

For hers, I will say . . . #1

OK, I'll try again:

1.  I once encountered a Moray eel while snorkeling.
2.  I have found over fifty complete arrowheads in one day.
3.  I have a dog named Vicious, but he rarely lives up to his name.

NO idea on this one . . . so I guess I will go with maybe #3?

Yeah, I have used a stun gun that way before. The untruth was hiding the PS 3, something I used to threaten to do if I had to hear the Skyrim theme one more time in my sleep but never did.

1) The first time Kristi told me she loved me, I replied "And I love David Hasslehoff."
2) I once was barred for life from a bar, after it was robbed at at gunpoint, but not only was I too drunk to do anything about it, but I thought it was hilarious and couldn't stop laughing.
3) Gene Simmons wishes he had a tongue as long as mine.

1.  I don't like corn on the cob.
2.  I have gotten to see both Presidents Bush in person.
3.  I have a scar on the small of my back from cutting myself when a jar fell in the tub and broke when I was a kid.

How about.............1!

Nope, that is true, I simply don't care for corn at all.

Um, 1. is a lie, you are very, very confused about that. ;-)
