If you ever went to summer camp, you're probably familiar with this game. It's a classic "getting to know you" exercise.
The idea is that you will tell three things about yourself. Two of them are true, and one of them is a lie. The aim of the game is for others to figure out which one isn't true.
So, I'll set up some rules. The original poster (in this case me) will tell three facts about themselves. Two of those must be true, and the third will be false. The next posters will have to call out the one that's a lie. The first person that susses out the lie will be the next person who can post "two truths and a lie." And then so on and so on.
Since it's a "getting to know you game," tell a quick little story about your two truths and the one lie. Then pass the baton to the next person.
I'll start:
1. I was born and raised in Alaska.
2. I am an ordained minister.
3. I have eaten live ants in the jungles of Ecuador.
Two of those facts are true, one is a lie.
Mofo, I think all three could be true but I will go for 1 & 2 being true and 3 being a lie. :smile:
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.

Again, all three could be true but I'm going to go with 1 and 2 again: all three could be true. :teddyr:
Mofo - I'm gonna go with eating live ants as being a lie.
Indy - I don't think you ever caught an alligator :teddyr:
Mofo I think # 2 is a lie.
Indy I think #1 is a lie.
Let me try:
I went to a comic book convention dressed like the Emporer from Star Wars.
I came across a long lost cousin while helping a friend check into a hotel.
I have a scar on my forehead from whacking my head on a nighstand when I was two.
DS I think all three are true there. :teddyr:
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.
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.

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.
Oh come on. I'm sure Trevor has expressed glowing praise of Lethal Weapon 2. :wink:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiXNUaSjXRY
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.
Mofo: I don't believe you've been to Ecuador.
Indy: I'll have to go with you never caught an alligator.
DS: You'd never help a friend check into a hotel, you'd tell the lazy ass to do it himself.
Trevor: Way too easy! :wink:
Burgo: I'll say you never had sex with a woman 25 years older than you.
Andy C: #1 is tempting, but it could have been a bonsai tree. So I'll say you've only met 2 Canadian Prime Ministers.
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.

Correct. You win a 12-month supply of underpants (which for you, I gather, is one pair). :teddyr:
Trev I'm going with # 2 as a lie
Andy I'll go with #1
Rev, I think you're kind of too respectable to do #3
I'll let a few more people guess on mine and then I'll do the reveal.
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!!!!
-I have pulled the fire alarm at my school as a gag
-I saved a child from a fire
-I kidnapped my own sister
I'll call 1 and 2 as true, 3 for a lie.
Let me try another:
1. I have a 3rd Degree black belt in karate.
2. I have Captain Eddie Rickenbacker's autograph.
3. I once met a man who had met Amelia Earhart.
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.
I'll say number three is the falsehood! And withold comment on my posting to see if anybody else wants to take a stab at it.
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.
Nobody guessed mine correctly, but it was a bit of a trick. I was raised in Alaska, and am Native Alaskan, but I was actually born in Portland, OR.
I am ordained through the Universal Life Church, who will ordain absolutely anybody who fills out their webform. It was just a goof for me, but I do have a friend who used that ordination to perform two wedding ceremonies for friends of ours.
I have also been to Ecuador where I did indeed eat live ants. I travelled there for a college course, Amazonian Natural History. We had several local guides, who would take us out and show us the local flora and fauna. One of the things they showed us while we were out were lemon ants. True to their name, they taste like lemons. I thought they were good.

He was playing with an electrical socket. I pulled him away and a few second later the thing spat fire straight up at him. The way I phrased it was kinda bullcrap. I didn't mean from a burning building.

The lie is #3; I've never met any prime minister of Canada.
I did, for a while, get invited once or twice a year to appear on a regional program where guests discuss items from the news.
And I did, indeed, knock over a full-grown tree once. I was about 18 and sloshed to the gills at an outdoor party. I went into the bush to get some firewood, missed the pile of cut wood and thought what the hell, I'll do something funny. The tree (a conifer about 30 or 40 feet tall) was dead and in some fairly soft soil close to a dirt path. I was pretty heavily into lifting weights, and probably the fittest I've ever been, but it took some effort to get the tree rocking and keep it going until the roots finally let go. Then I grabbed it by the top and dragged it back to the bonfire, where I was greeted by laughter, applause and a few shocked faces. We had nothing to cut a piece of wood that big, so we just slid it into the fire a few feet at a time until a couple of us finally heaved the roots on, and it was gone.

Correct.
I should just add that I do occasionally like to dress up as Joan Collins and that is no lie.

Correct: I loathe foreign filmmakers who make films which bash my country (I don't mind local filmmakers doing this) but there is one exception to this rule and that is Phillip Noyce, who made the gut wrenching
Rabbit Proof Fence which condemned his own country's racial policies and then made
Catch A Fire here.

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.
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.
Burgomaster, I think you have had two different girlfriends, one a wiccan and one a stipper. You're obviously a lady's man, but I don't think they were the same girl.
indianasmith, I say you're 3rd degree black belt is bunkum! That's mostly because I have no idea who Eddie Rikenbaker is.
Jim H, I think you have never punched a man for mocking your masculinity. I've been drunk in many bars, and that doesn't happen too much.
Actually, I pulled a fast one last time around - all three of those things are true!!!!
For the record, Eddie Rickenbacker was America's "Ace of Aces" in World War I, with 26 confirmed kills of German aircraft.
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:
QuoteDS, 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.
We have a winner!
No I never went to a convention dressed up nor would I ever. I find that tabboo geekiness.
Yes I ran into a long lost cousin checking a friend into a hotel. It sounds like an urban legend but its true. I was checking in my then friend. The desk person noted my last name (which is not common) and said she had the last name. She mentioned she never met her father and she thinks he lived in the midwest. I had an uncle that lived in Iowa who was indeed her father. Much drama later, they reunited.
Yes I whacked my head when I was two on a nightstand.

You are wrong, and DS was wrong.
I was fairly drunk when I tried crack in college (otherwise I wouldn't have done it). That may have had something to do with me not being able to notice the effects. But I've since heard stories that many people get no effect from it the first time. Needless to say I never tried it again and I think I could well have dodged a bullet.
I've written large portions of 2 novels but completed neither of them. I've probably collected about two dozen rejection notices for short stories, though. I did have one published.
The Ukrainian pledge was done on a whim, again at college. I like to think I would have honored it, but I'm glad the Soviets are gone and everything turned out all right. I do have Ukrainian friends who I contact frequently by email.
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.
OK, let me give it another go:
1. I remained a virgin until my wedding night.
2. I have personally seen and/or spoken to two U.S. Presidents.
3. I have completed the Mage's Guild questline in MORROWIND.
O.K. I'll give this a go...
1. I've been driving for over twenty years and I've never had a speeding ticket.
2. I hung out once with the boys from the band Great Big Sea.
3. I once fell off an henhouse and split my head open.
Indy, I'm guessing # 1 is false but I could be dead wrong I'll admit.
Jase, I believe that number 1 is false.
Here goes:
1) I started my diver's ed on a Monday
2) I once put 7 different cheeses on a burger at once
3) I can build an advanced LEGO set in a day
Wrong, JaseSF!
I'll guess, for you, number 1 is a lie, and for Crazy Bull, maybe #3?

Actually, it was #3. I have seen both Presidents Bush in person, but due to a glitch I never completed the Mage's Guild questline in MORROWIND.

I know two people who don't, but you're right! :teddyr:
And mofo - it wasn't at a bar. There was some creative wording on my part but is essentially true. I punched a bully because, among other things, him calling me girly and so forth. It's the only time I've ever punched someone in a serious manner and I was 8 or 9 years old at the time.

#1 was thet partial truth. The others are 100% true.
My sons don't have two citizens, they have THREE. They were born in the U.S., so naturally they have a U.S. citizenship. However, their morther was born in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland recognizes citizenship of the children of anyone born there, regardless of where their children are born, and since No. Ireland is part of the UK, and are therefore UK citizens. Because the Republic of Ireland still believes that Northern Ireland is theirs, any citizen of the UK born in Northern Ireland is considered Irish, and therefore a citizen of the Republic. Because of this, they are also recognized as citizens of the Republic of Ireland.
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.

nope, 3 is true- One of my friend's got a thing of Chocolate Jack Daniel's treats from an exchange a while back and let me have one.
Actually # 3 was the lie as I've had communion wine (although one could argue I suppose that is symbolic) in my lifetime plus I've also used mouthwash (although I spat it out) so yeah I've tasted stuff but I've never chosen to drink alcoholic beverages.

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.

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.
Nope, believe it or not, that one's true! I drive my wife crazy with it! It's just SOOOOO bad and ridiculously funny that I get caught up in it whenever it's on (watching R Kelly affect horrible accents while singing the exact same melody for an hour and a half straight belongs up there with some of the best bad movies).
Sorry to say, but I've never saved a life and don't have that kind of job... But thanks everyone for thinking that it may at least be a possibility!

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!
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:
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

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.

A friend of mine at one point tried to killer her self on the west coast and I was able to get her help in time.
And yes, my first concernt was the Oaks.

I figured I only had one shot so I stop guessing after I failed.
Since I guessed DS' one correctly, I'll play now as well:
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.
IG, I think that all three could be true.

Nope. The closest I've ever come to flying a plane is a video game. Would love to, though.
#1: John Pople (though he did not have the prize at the time...I got confused on the dates), Dudley Herschbach...both of which were cool beyond belief and Yuan Lee. Lee I hope to never see again.
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!

Nope. Funny story about that one. I asked one of them to go winter dance with me and she then asked if she can invite another girl to come with both of us. Because of that, I ended up taking two girls at once and apparently, that was a big hit with the entire school, other girls included.
You nailed it that time. I did get 14 stitches in my knee in 5th grade when I put it through the side of an aquarium, though!
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 butt sticking in the air like a pyramid.
3. I had trouble sitting through The Blair Witch Project because certain scenes gave me motion sickness.

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

No, two was true, believe it or not. The tribute to the devil was number three. I don't get freaked by baths, just by scrubbing the tub afterward.

Ha, I figured while that did affect some viewers, a movie pro like you made it through.
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.

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.
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. 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?

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.
Correct!
Neat little fact though, the
reason it's a lie, the play was "Our Town" not "Annie Get Your Gun" (that was the play they had done a few years before.)
And, yes, she did say I was the only guy that "looked good" in makeup. (Not sure how to take that, actually..)

CORRECT, SIR!! It was French, not Russian.
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....
#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.

It's #1.
ER got it right, it was number 2. Actually, I did have a shipmates who was a former mortician, but it was his cousin who did the unspeakable deed detailed above.
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.

No, it was 1. The incident did happen, while I was tending to a victim of a mortar attack. My rifle slipped down and the iron sight smacked him on the head, but it was only a bruise rather than a serious injury. Afterwards I stood up and told the invigilator that this guy had died of his injuries. I did however learn a lesson from 3 and when I did guard last week I stuck to doing the soft shoe shuffle and an electric slide when some Creedence Clearwater Revival came on the radio (Sweet Hitch-Hiker).
1. This morning at Mass, just as the priest elevated Jesus cunningly disguising himself as flatbread, a peal of thunder shook the church.
2. This morning at Mass I felt an awkward moment, realizing I only had in one earring.
3. This morning at Mass there were prayers in three modern languages, and I thought why not take the Lingua franca approach and return to Latin?

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.
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.

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".

Well, I got the title wrong, but that's my fault. Here's the link to the post for those interested: http://bargainbasementthrills.blogspot.com/2009/02/debra-blee-naked-and-wet.html (http://bargainbasementthrills.blogspot.com/2009/02/debra-blee-naked-and-wet.html)
But, YES, 1 is the lie. I was actually about 7 and my TOM & JERRY and DONALD DUCK comic books, both brand new, were soaked in the incident. I didn't care that I was almost crushed; MY COMIC BOOKS WERE RUINED!!! Still makes me want to cry.
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.

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. 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.

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.
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:
You got it, lol. Although I do live in a tri-state area, but, yep, 1.

3 In college I was friends with a guy who sold some weed, I found out he did this after he graduated
#2 because you hate all sports, real and imagined?
#2 is real :teddyr:

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.

3. While in Australia, I briefly got to hold a deadly sea snake.

Well, I know that #2 is accurate, sadly. :cheers:
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.

Ding ding ding!!! #1 is the lie!
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.
All good ideas, but I'll call #2 as the falsehood.

You got it.
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

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 . . .

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

Yup, you nailed it!! I did mow, but no legless reptiles were harmed in the trimming of the grass.

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

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 everytime 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.)

Nope that was true. It was two lane highway, I came up on him he was doing about 50 mph in a 65, so I tried to pass him, he'd then deliberately speed up to keep pace with me, then I'd go, "Fine, pass me by, I don't care." So I'd slow down, then I'd get behind him and he'd SLOW DOWN once again. He did this s**t like
three times. Meanwhile he'd pass by cars in his lane real fast (without using his turn signal, I might add). This was around 10:45 or so at night and I started thinking, "You know, I could sideswipe this a***ole off the road and no one would know who did it. My car is kind of a old and has some damage on it anyway, so another scratch or two won't matter."
Luckily for both of us, my better sense prevailed, and my turn came up, so I left the highway and he went on his jackass way.

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

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.

Nope. #3 is true. By the time I got home, I could barely move, and my wang-doodle was frost-bitten to the point that I honestly thought I needed to call an ambulance. I never, ever forgave my live-in girlfriend at the time for not coming to get me like she said she would when I left for work that day, and she was smart enough to never mention that incident. That was the closest I have ever come to hitting a woman...selfish a***ole that she was.

Yes, 2 is a lie, but not because of gluten. My nieces (for the most part) grew up in another state, so I wasn't really around to be able to buy cookies when they were selling. My youngest niece (well, great-niece to be technical) is in Girl Scouts, but right now, sadly, I don't have a lot of extra money to spend on cookies. (Plus, she's, thankfully, never asked me directly, so I don't have to turn her down.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

No.
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:

And you're right! Not that I wouldn't do that, it's just that I have seen no snakes of any kind on our place this year.

Let us see....in the first trio of truths and a lie, you are correct, it is 3, and yes, the info on my confirmation name is true, and thanks!
For the second bunch...no, number 1 is true, I love clean sheets. I change them early in the day so I can have them at the ready for when I am tired. I'll save you guys the trouble and say number 2 is the lie, I LOVED the Little House series when I was a kid. And I did have that winning streak going, as claimed. I could have been a contender....
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.

Alas, good gentle cleric, I predict tis 2.
Why, what'd you say to your friend yesterday?
1. I have a friend who has a toaster that burns the Klingon icon into whatever is placed inside it.
2. I donated $25,000.00 to George R.R. Martin's wolf preserve in New Mexico, and now my name will appear as a character in The Winds of Winter. He personally called me to say thank you, and said I could be anything I wanted, commoner to monarch, so I said make me a really high-priced caterer working for the best mansions and brothels in King's Landing who secretly serial-poisons deserving jerks from Highgarden and Dorne after the example of the whacking of King Joffrey, Last of His Name. He said he would make it happen. You read it here first.
Website: https://wildspiiritwolfsanctuary.org/index.php to donate for yourself.
3. I have driven the same car since 2001.
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?)

Um...just, um....wow, really, 3 is your guess? 3? Have you suffered a recent blow to the head? By chance?
Let's try this again.... I say George RR Martin called me personally after I found 25 Gs sitting around to give to wolves, and I will be in the next book, so 3 remains your guess? LMAO!
Uh, no, Lewis, it's not #3.... lololol ;-)
I'm sorry, it must be #1 then. You would NEVER lie about anything GAME OF THRONES related!! :wink:

1. We're going to a major league baseball game tonight.
2. Today in the store some lowlife with meth-jaws came up and real insistently wanted me to give him a dollar.
3. When I got home around five I found out our beagle ate most of a candy cane-scented Christmas candle out of a box in the garage.
Hmmm . . . #1?
Guess I'll go with 3 then. How was the game?
3 it is.
The baseball game was even more horrible than I could have possibly imagined. It went on and on. Worst one since this umpire dropped dead at one in 1996.

Furious 7 , you would have seen me cry and I do mean ugly cry. The film was meh but that ending hit me in the feels.
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

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."

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.

this actually happened, the station made me a CD copy of my contribution
1. In college someone proposed marriage to me, and my regrettable response was, "Are you trying to get laid?"
2. When I was thirteen a supposed fortune teller told me I won't marry the man I love most, but I will love the man I marry.
3. Also at about thirteen, I was in my grandpa's woods one day, stopped at the top of the hill I'd just climbed with him, and had a weird urge to look down at my feet, and there was wolf spider climbing up my shoes, toward my bare ankle, about a second from reaching it.

Right first time.
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.

Wait, was number 1 all about?
When I was about 25 years old, I got arrested for trespassing. LSS, I had permission to be on the property from years before, but the old foreman had died and the new caretaker of the ranch didn't know me. So when he saw my car parked by the fence, he called the cops (they'd caught some guys growing pot on a different part of the ranch the month before). I got arrested and taken to jail, from whence a single phone call from me to the District Judge (a friend of my family's from way back) cleared up the whole misunderstanding.
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
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.

this also really happened
the kid who brought it to school was expelled, his parents arrested -- the kids who also drank from it were suspended and the DARE officer we previously had gave our class a talk
I did not pee on someones car once, I merely spit on it
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.

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!
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.
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.
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.
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....
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

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

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. - false

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.
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.
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.

1. True. Make a fine addition to a tombstone.
2. True. A wonder the woman didn't take up her native national sport: drinking.
3. False. Although Rob did take LSD while seeing
SFW and did get weirded by her chin.
4. True. Although I am not convinced Hell is full of Michigan fans.
5. True. Ah, to be fifteen and in love. I wish I could re-live that day over and over.
Indy got it right, so free karma for a week for our favorite Tex-assassin.
1. As a kid I had a cat named Parker Lewis.
2. I bought a three-pack of Chap-Stick this morning.
3. I sneezed five times in a row when I got out of my car this afternoon.
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:

I'll wait to answer until someone gets my last one correctly, except to say that I'm perfectly fine.
As for yours . . . I'll call #1 the lie. That stuff is lethal.
Indy: #2 is the lie. It never rains in Lower Uncton, it precipitates.
RC: #3 is your nose-grower. I can see you sampling vintage bleach like Chateau Clorox 1980, but you don't strike me as the sort who'd abuse an animal. 'Least I hope you don't.
Also, Indy, apparently bleach does not always fit its tipplers with a dirt overcoat since someone in Allie's group tried to kill himself with some (and a pill chaser) and all the medics did was pumped his stomach and made him drink charcoal water til he puked up Burger King he'd eaten the month before.
Fun fact: bleach tastes much worse than it smells, like bitter burning!
My turn!
1. Tired of her punching me over the years growing up (though she swears she never lovingly doled out more than I could take...gee thanks) I once put my cousin in a headlock til she turned red and started panicking and she actually tapped the table three times, like in wrestling.
2. My second "real" job involved me having to take a pregnancy test a condition of employment.
3. My buddy 'n pal named his son Brandon, after Brandon Lee.
All righty, lay on!
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.

No, 2 is true, I did have to take a pregnancy test for my second job.
ER got mine right; we have gotten no rain from the hurricane.
For hers, I will say . . . #1

3 was my lie he named his son after Draven from The Crow.
1. I woke up to three strangers sleeping on my living room floor.
2. I woke up turned sideways on the bed.
3. I woke up this morning.
How's about #3 being a big fat fib, since you overslept and got up after noon?
3. was the lie but instead of oversleeping (with three small children, ha, oh, please) I got up before it was even quite morning, so...yessir.
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.

#1-why I don't know-
No, that one is true.
Shall I, Indy?
#2-thats alot of arrowheads to find in one day.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
(My record is 44, actually. A couple of my friends have had fifty point days and more, but I never have.)
1. I ate a really big nasty beetle
2.I met Verne Troyer (mini me) in a rehab
3.Scott Ian of the band Anthrax punched me in the face.
NO idea on this one . . . so I guess I will go with maybe #3?

Give the man with the arrowhead a Kewpie doll! You got it! :thumbup:
I did eat a big nasty beetle just to gross someone out.
I did met Verne in rehab-in Kalamazoo in 2007.I even drew a picture for him. A very talented and nice man.
I never met any member of Anthrax.
1. I've used a stun gun on someone before.
2. I once unplugged a PS3 and hid it for a night.
3. One of my elementary school teachers' relatives was killed by a hailstone.
I don't believe the hailstone-but you live in Texas,right? Hmmm-maybe-!
Nope.
You never hit nobody with a stun gun.
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.

I should have known the crazy s**t was true. :wink:
Board is clean, so I'll go:
1. My family doctor got to meet and have his picture made with former President Reagan.
2. I once shook hands with Chuck Norris.
3. I was a passenger in a Land Rover chasing kangaroos across the Australian outback in 1983.
I'm guessing you met Chuck Norris-I mean he's a Texas Ranger,right?
The third one is so crazy it has to be true.
I'll say the doc and Ronnie Ray-gun.
Nice try, but my family doctor did in fact meet Pres. Reagan and get a photo op with him.
You're right about #3, though.
But I have never met Chuck Norris.
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.

(The most remarkable discovery here is that you know Gene Simmons well enough to compare tongues, lol.)
I feel number one is true, though how you've since fathered a child after the kick in the bagpipes that answer would have gotten you is the real mystery here.
3 is the lie.
Sort of a trick question. One isn't quite true. It was actually Chuck Norris I said.
The only reason Gene Simmons has a longer tongue than me comes down to him having his sublingual frenulum cut. The difference is mine is all natural. Being able to lick your own eyebrows means you never need a good chat up line to pick up women.
Unless you have like amazingly long eyebrows.
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!
1. I sent a Ray Bradbury a letter telling him off for being a jerk on Fresh Air.
2. I collect Tarot card decks.
3. In 1986 my family held a funeral for a bottle of New Coke.

Actually I knew you didn't like corn and even said to you that one time, "Lucky you weren't in the classic Mississippian culture since corn was the basis of their diet."
Then I went off into one of my infamous dissertations about how the retroactively-dubbed Cahokians ruined their soils by over-reliance on corn, destroying themselves and removing the one great chance for a mighty civilization arising in the pre-Columbian version of what is currently the dis-United States.
But my brain was on strike last night and I said number one thinking in some distracted way that's true, so say it's true. Ugh.
The lie, then is of course number two. While you met and talked to Bush II, Bush I is someone you merely admire from afar.
Nope, met them both! However, my back is scar free.
My chagrin is boundless. Wait. Wait wait wait. Wait. I know how you met GWB, but....GHWB? Okay, either you've never told me that, I forgot it, or I am again in one of those new universes. Occam's razor suggests the likeliest explanation is this is a new universe. Hmm, wonder if Justin Beiber is still the Pope in this one?
1. I am one of those people who knows that Africa is a continent, not a country. :wink:
2. I have only one "rom-com" movie that I really like.
3. I loved the musical remake of Lost Horizon.
Um, 1. is a lie, you are very, very confused about that. ;-)

Number 3 actually: friends of my family took me to see that POS when I was six: I hated it.
1) I once discussed politics in her home country with a Moldovian stripper/lap dancer who was by this point wearing nothing more than a thong and who wanted me to go back to her place to have sex with her (and didn't take her up on her offer).
2) Given the choice I would rather watch the 80's movie of Flash Gordon than Star Wars: A New Hope.
3) I think the remake of The Wicker Man is superior to the original and that Nicholas Cage was very, nay criminally underrated for his performance in that movie.
I'll call #3 the lie on that one.
