Well, actually, the coffin is in the BACK corner of my classroom! LOL So . . . technically false.
But yes, Ambrose Bierce did retired down to Mexico early in the 20th century and pretty well disappeared, from what I recall.

I've been inside CBGB.

^ I'll say false.
I lived in NYC, and I never been there. Of course, I lived in the Bronx, and I was broke.

False it was, though I have been past the site of where it was located.

No, Ambrose Bierce disappeared in Mexico. No one knows what happened to him.

No. Reread what I had written.

I once put an aspirin under my tongue, not a chewable baby aspirin, a regular one, and it caused a sore spot, almost an ulceration, and hurt for days.

^I chew them like candy whenever I have a toothache.
But I believe ya.

ER · April 09, 2023, 06:06:36 PM

^ Nope.

Why is that funny?

In college we were in Quebec and this man at a hotdog stand called mustard "mouse-turd" and we kept finding reasons to get him to repeat the word that way.

Why not?

I knew an old guy when a man who as a child was in the Hitler Youth in Germany.

ER · April 13, 2023, 07:17:50 AM

Yes.

Yes.

While she was walking with some man, Laurie Anderson once passed right by me on a sidewalk a few blocks from Central Park, in the West Village, and I wanted so badly to follow her, but didn't because I had somewhere to be, didn't want to become a stalker, and also it was when Lou Reed was very sick.

Hint: Lies are often unnecessarily elaborate.

Hint: So are re-tellings of true events.

Hint: The odds of this being true/false are not fifty-fifty, despite what apparent logic might tell you.

Hint: In middle school I was freaking obsessed with Laurie Anderson.

Hint: In high school I was really into Lou Reed.

Hint: Central Park is a real place.

Conclusion: Your socks are probably white.

Bonus: Karma if you get this right, unless your name ends in three vowels.

PS: Did I make you think of who here has a name like that?

PPS: Why, yes I am sitting in a school parking lot killing time, how'd you guess?
