Remember this? You tell five things and four are true and one isn't. Someone guesses and then adds to it. (Adding a topic on the Games thread is like throwing a message in a bottle into the ocean, so I put it here.)
Why, yes I am killing time before joining my family at my in-laws house, how'd you guess?
1. On an Air Force base during a time of celebration I jumped on a bed with a tipsy officer, who fell off and grabbed my hand as he spilled over, pulling me along, and I landed knee down on his chest and skittered across the room into two others, never quite falling but not regaining my balance til I hit the wall opposite.
2. At someone's wedding this strange bridesmaid kept lifting my arm to smell the Secret Powder scent deodorant I had on, claiming she'd never smelled that before and it was, "So nice."
3. I actually have met a lawyer named Steve Dallas, just like in the Bloom County strips.
4. I own a reproduction wall tapestry of the Shroud of Turin.
5. In my life at various times I have nearly died from blood loss, a doctor-induced heart attack, an oncoming car, and armed hostiles.
Anyone?
I'll guess #3.
I'm going to guess #3
4. is the lie.
Steve Dallas is or was a lawyer in the seat of the county where we lived for three years of my childhood.
I knew you went to see the Shroud a couple years ago, and I thought maybe you'd brought home a souvenir.
But I figured it was either 3 or that one.

You puzzled me a second, I was thinking, I saw the Shroud of Turin...? But I've never been to Italy. LOL I know what you're talking about now. In 2016 my mom and Diz went to Alabama to see a reproduction at Mother Angelica's shrine. I didn't go though.
1. I used to think "Cat in the Hat" was a good movie.
2. I used to think "Son of the Mask" was a good movie.
3. I used to think "Kangaroo Jack" was a good movie.
4. I used to think "The Shining" was a bad movie.
5. I used to hate M-Rated video games.

I bet it's 1.
I was gonna wait for more people to respond but it's been quite a while.
No, number one is not the lie. It's number three.
I had awful taste as a kid but even I could see how trash that movie was.
1. My Ma had 6 toes on one foot.
2. My brother Glenn stabbed a guy in the face multiple times in a drug store with a screwdriver.
3. As a child, I seen a kid have his head squashed by a car tire.
4. My Ma was a country music singer in a bar.
5. I shot a dog out hunting- I thought it was a deer.
Three.
Nah. It's 5. I never killed much in the woods except bottles.
I usta go hunting a lot...but the only thing I ever shot was a rabbit. I ate it, too. I was in an old car junkyard when I did it. I usually shot at stupid s**t. I shot at a BIG gray paper wasp nest with a 12 gauge. Not smart. I shot a lot of old cans and bottles. I shot at cars in the junkyard. I DID shoot a possum who was chasing a goose in my landlords yard.
1. I own graves in three different cemeteries.
2. I have a guitar pick used by Liz Phair.
3. Two days ago I woke up and said, "Stay dead, daylight saving time."
4. My Masters thesis was entitled, "The Correlation Between Blood Type And Longevity."
5. There are strategically-placed murder holes in my house.
I'll go #1 ? not sure how you 'own' a grave anyway
#2 is cool if true. pretty big fan of Liz Phair's early stuff, especially the Whip Smart lp

1. I was jumped and beaten by four guys walking home from school.

I suspect they are there to pour boiling oil down on any invading army. I myself prefer to use hot lead
Ha! Alex has it right. In castles murder holes are open places in the walls where invaders could be attacked from above with missile weapons or coals or boiling water or pitch.
When my house was built around a hundred years ago, for some reason it included these little hatches above the attic that look down over the front door and several windows, and when we'd play up there as kids in our grandparents' time, my cousin Jared and I, we'd say they were murder holes, and we'd drop hot water and rocks and things down onto pretend foes. The tradition lives on to this day!

I think you were blessed with a literal mind, John, and most people are more figurative than I've found you to be. I've noticed my son is like that too, which leaves him open to my oldest daughter's deviling.
Ever hear the story of the Silk Road king who was hoping to make friends with the chieftain of a horde of barbarians, so he sent the chieftain a lovely message saying the chief was like a son to him, and the barbarian became furious, because in his culture a son owed his father all honor and obedience and he thought the king was saying that he owed that to the king, so the enraged barbarians sacked the city and did-in the well-meaning king?
Misunderstandings fuel history and message boards.

Apparently climbing Fuji isn't that big a deal anyway, you just hike to the summit. The tough part is getting there, and I believe Indy was stationed in Japan.
i'm saying number one too, i'm with ron, i bet indy has lovely toes! :cheers:

5. I once found an arrowhead in the middle of a parking lot at a convenience store.
Those who guessed #1 were wrong - my toes are freaking hideous!

4. At my last job I wasn't home sick for seven years.

I was on vacation with three friends, I met her at a club. She never told me what she did until her pimp showed up at our hotel the day before we headed back home. Probably my weirdest vacation ever.
1. A dear friend of mine claims she saw an inhuman figure climbing out of a sewer.
2. My youngest once matter of factly said, "Isn't it weird when you're alone and something moves without anybody touching it?"
3. I got an eye infection in high school because I tried to go all day without blinking.
4. I've never watched an entire episode of Friends.
5. I'm not afraid to skydive, it just holds no appeal to me.

I pitched a no-hitter with this one! #1 was the lie: I shook hands with W. and heard H.W. speak once, but I didn't get to shake his hand.
All the others are gospel truth!
(Oh, and Ronnie, on the college grading scale, 4.0 is 100%!)

I did the same thing with mine, #1 was the lie and I changed only one fact, a number.
Let's try again:
1. I have a large black coffin standing in the corner of my classroom.
2. For years I've tried to convince my students that I am secretly a cannibal.
3. I actually had a senior girl try to seduce me once.
4. The largest animal I've ever killed is a coyote.
5. I found the skull of a musk ox here in Texas!

1. I puked and passed out on the courthouse steps.
2.I wore a Charlie Manson t-shirt to a court hearing.
3.I was put in a padded room.
4. I s**t my pants in jail and had to walk bow leg to the shower and change my pants.
5. I kicked a dead cow and a possum ran out his frozen ass.

Bingo! That did happen to a grad school classmate of mine, when he was a TA, with a college freshman. But while I have formed remarkable friendships with many of my students, both male and female, none have ever tried to cross that line and neither have I (of course!).

Nope, number five is true. Not scared just don't want to do it.
#4. I can't sit threw that show.
I wanna punch them people in the face.
I don't think in real life anybody I have ever meet are that touchy/feely talk about your emotions s**t. And their all f**king one another. Get out of the apartment! They will end up interbreeding the human race into whiney Joeys !

Nope, I have been to New Zealand. The thing about New Zealand that I wasn't expecting was how fresh the air was. The only thing I can compare it to is a mountaintop after a rain shower, lots of negative ions.

No, honeymooned there.

Had a stopover in Germany, so I've actually been there.
That leaves France or Hawaii. Thrilling cliffhanger, innit?

Well I can't believe you'd been in Europe and skipped France...
That's true, spent a lot of time in France, even had a French obstetrician for a while, but I've never been to Hawaii.
