Two Truths and a Lie

[ER]

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.

Hmm.  Let's go for Door Number One!

sadly this is true

ear wax build up lead to hearing issues so I bought ear drops and a ear wax remover to help - they seem to be working

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!

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.  3 then?

Holy Crap Cakes, Batman! I was right?!?!

And if the world falls apart on your 40th birthday, I'll know who to blame or thank, depending on how I'm feeling that day.

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.  3 then?

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.

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.

You hugged Liz Phair? I would have kidnapped her. I like me some Liz Phair.    

And THIS is Liz Phair!

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

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.

I'll call TRUE on that one too.

All righty, anyone?

So how did I do?

3 I own an Atari

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