Two Truths and a Lie

[indianasmith]

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. 

[Mr. DS]

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.

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.

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

Correct, sir. I hate being celibate though.

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.

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.

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.

[indianasmith]

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.

[JaseSF]

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.

[Leah]

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

[indianasmith]

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

[Leah]

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

nope, it's number 1 (I started on a Tuesday for some reason )

[JaseSF]

Actually # 1 is true. I suspect # 1 is the lie for Bull. (Oh wait he already answered). And I'm guessing # 3 is the partial truth for Flick. Now I'll guess # 2 is the lie then for Indy.

[indianasmith]

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.

[Jim H]

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.

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.

I know two people who don't, but you're right!   

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.
