2 truths and a lie

[Granny5]

Pendragon, no one can ever accuse you of not being sharp. very curly hair runs in the family.

Let us hope it doesn't run too fast or too far away!

You are too funny, Prince.
Anyone with really curly hair wishes it would run far, far away.

[Pendragon]

Pendragon, no one can ever accuse you of not being sharp. very curly hair runs in the family.
Thank you. I do not guess, I make logical deductions. When I am wrong, I am usually very wrong, as I have unfortunately proven before. Something in the clues I read that turned me down the wrong path. You might remember Poe's The Gold Bug. The Black Man drops the bug from the wrong eye of the skull. At the tree, it was a difference of inches. But it was a mark for a line. The further you went, the worse off you were. That is how a clue does me.

[motherhubbard]

well, I'm going to answer
you, of course are right it's the perm
but here in the Ozarks, us poor folk go to the beauty shop or more likely the beauty school for all three…that’s the connection!
It was 20 years ago and it was sooo expensive and it was bad. I'll never do it again.

[Pendragon]

The Ozarks, eh. Ah, it has been more than a dozen years since I was in Arkansas and Missouri preaching. I would hardly be welcome in those churches now, a lot of things went wrong here, and I am bound by a promise I dare not break. So I am a hermit, but His grace is sufficient, and I do not answer to man.

Wish to try another 2 truths and a lie against the enignmatic Pendragon?

OK.

1.) I am my mother's 4th child but have no idea where I rank among my dad's kids.

2.) My favorite soda is Mountain Dew, which my hometown lays claim to its first manufacture.

3.) Even though I am basically self-trained in martial arts, on three occasions I have defeated opponents with the rank of green belt.

I remind you once more that nothing is ever what it seems.

Good luck.

[Granny5]

I think all are possible, but I am going to pick #2.

[stephofthenight]

hmm lets try this.

1. i love skittles
2. ive spent the night in a white tiger's cage
3. i love guns

[BlueSkyGB]

Even though you're from Texas, I'm guessing that guns is the one.

[stephofthenight]

indeed you are correct my siberian tiger is lilly ive had her since she was a cub...
and well i have the 500mg. but i hate guns... not everyone from texas likes them althou i will admite i love horses

[BlueSkyGB]

Well it was between the gun or the tiger and after reading some past postings by you, I decided it had to be the gun...:)

[BlueSkyGB]

Ok...its time

1. I'm a reformed adrenaline junkie...whitewater rafting, hot-air ballooning, parasailing..etc.

2. I have a pet Llama.

3. I highly resemble the actor Sam Elliott, even down to the voice.

[Granny5]

I will guess number 3. But if 3 is truth, I'll see you in my dreams!

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Black_panther.gifWell, we had two guesses, but Granny hit the bullseyes first shot!

2.) My favorite soda is Mountain Dew, which my hometown lays claim to its first manufacture. This is the lie. The second half of the statement is true enough, Marion, VA is in a battle with another town over who first bottled Moutain Dew. My favorite, however, is Dr. Pepper.

1.) I am my mother's 4th child but have no idea where I rank among my dad's kids.
Pensy picked this one, but unfortunally, it is true. I am not even certain how many kids my dad actually fathered. We know one half-sister, have solid proof of at least one child in Vietnam, strong suspicion on a half-brother, and so on.

3.) Even though I am basically self-trained in martial arts, on three occasions I have defeated opponents with the rank of green belt.

Amazed that this is true? They were more amazed. If my fighting style were named it would be called "The Way of the Unexpected." A local sensi grumbled that I threw a kick from the wrong position. I pointed out that it was on target and took down the opponent. He insisted everything had to be done a certain way. That's when I noticed that many martial arts people react certain ways to certain attacks. So if you can make them think you are going there and go elsewhere, it works at times.

My take on you mon ami. I can see you as the adrenaline junkie, what I question is the word "former". Unless you are badly disabled, I know from my own experience, the thirll doesn't go away. I will say 1.

With that in mind, people are thinking "And he has a pet Llama?" You have all seen the way I am with my blades. I have hamsters that get hand feed every night. Love animals.

So you sound like Sam Elliot? Remember when he was in The Sacketts with Tom Shelleck? I reasonablly sound like Tom.

1. Well Pen. you do have the right to question...was in an accident a few years ago the I walked/crawled away from, this caused me to change the way I think about life and made me prioritize the important things to me...so I still have the "need", but have realized that I should be a little more careful...so this one is true...

2. Do have lots of pets now, even a few exotics...but sorry no Llama...this is the lie..:p

3. I don't really see it, but lots of people have commented on the look..
I am built like Sam Elliott, have the grey hair and mustache...but the kicker is the voice...have real deep voice...always thought it was nice being compared.:D
But once had a burst bubble...overheard 2 twenty-somethings talking about me..Said wow he really looks like Sam Elliott...I smiled to myself...then the other said who...and the answer was.....you know, that "old dude" from the movie Roadhouse.....:lol: got more comments when I had my hair longer, keep it fairly short now.
Hey Granny5, hope your dreams are nice.:)

[stephofthenight]

awwww bummer i wanted a pet llama and i got hey daddy i want out of my mouth before he went into the you have a flipping farm out there already u dont need a llama... o well

[Pensive]

Oh I got wrong in the guess for Pen's question! I should have looked in my crystal ball! :P


2. Do have lots of pets now, even a few exotics...but sorry no Llama...this is the lie..

Yay! At least I have got one correct. :) Would come up with one soon myself. *goes off to ponder*

[papayahed]

1. For the past 2 days I have woken up to find a dead cockroach in my bathtub

2. I have an excellent voice and have just been asked to join the church choir.

3. I just started reading the first Harry Potter book.

[BlueSkyGB]

1. Is not that unusual...certain time2 of the year produce more bugs..

2. Have a feeling you do have a good voice.

3. Being on lit-net........and being a reader....
Going out on a limb here....and saying this is the lie!

[Pendragon]

Well, furry old Grover, I will say 2. I don't doubt that you have a fine voice, it's just that I've never really heard you mention church before.

[papayahed]

Pen's got it.

1. True. Blech, these roaches were huge, about as big as my head and quite honestly freak me out. I've been told they are very common along with the other myriad of bugs in this area. I'm just not used to the abundance.

2. False. HaHa I can't carry a tune in a bucket. While I really like to sing, loudly, I have no musical ability whatsoever.

3. All the hype got me and I started reading the first HP book.

I recall the picture, Pensy. And I believe you've expressed intreset in teaching also, though my memory of late is not what it should be.

I will go with three, I also seem to recall an adversion to doctors, but as I said, my memory is slipping on me of late, due to health problems of my own.

Three it shall be.

[BlueSkyGB]

I'll have to agree with Pen on this one....went on a search through past postings and I think Pen is right....# 3 is the one:)
Although we've both been known to be wrong...:lol:

[papayahed]

I'm gonna pick number 1 just to be different.

[papayahed]

Pensy?

[motherhubbard]

I'm going to say three as well and I'm going to post. Sorry pensive, let us know the answer.

1. I've eaten bear

2. I've never eaten a big mac

3. I make the best baked fish around

[papayahed]

I'm betting on No. 2.

[BlueSkyGB]

I'm going with Papayahed on this one....

if you can bake the best fish around you have probably eaten bear meat, these 2 together point to the fact of NOT eating a big mac....
ps I truthfully have not eaten one myself..:)

[Pendragon]

An enigma, for certain. I have no doubts on number 3, your cooking skills wouldn't surprise me, as I know Arkansas is famous for fishing. I have been there. Mountain Home might ring a bell with you. I get there via Highway 63 and 62 off I-55 up from West Mephsis. Pass a lot of good fishing and frogging water.

Now we come to 1 and 2.

I got to go with my gut feelings. The mountains where I live have black bears, legal to hunt. I have been a hunter for years. I have been close enough to touch a bear. I have no desire for bear meat. Bears smell strongly of wet dog. The meat is strong and stringy. Deer is much better. Even a Big Mac, while bad for you is better.

I don't know about Poppy's hunting skills, but I'm going with you haven't eaten bear meat.

That would be number 1. I choose number 1 as the falsehood.

[motherhubbard]

Pen, I’ve been waiting to see if you would get this one. I think it was my best effort at a lie so far.

1. I've eaten bear- And it is strong and oily. That’s why it says I’ve eaten and not I eat.

2. I've never eaten a big mac- Papaya you were way off. Bluesky, I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who has never eaten a big mac. They look like vomit to me. But I know the song.

3. I make the best baked fish around- Here it is, the big fat lie. I can’t bake fish. In fact I once made baked fish that was so bad my cat wouldn’t eat it! I can fry, broil, and grill. A real shame since I love baked fish.


Pen, Mountain Home is just about 40 min. from here. They were our big high school rivals. Whenever I hear anyone say ‘what are we gonna do tonight?’ I always think ‘beat those Bombers’. That’s what got ingrained in high school.

She may not have eaten a Big Mac, but I've seen her put away some Quarter Pounders w/cheese!!! Poppy is not a hunter thank goodness. He has played at going hunting when he was younger, but I think that was just to go hang out in the woods and drink beer cause he never brought anything home but dirty laundry.:lol:

That’s what got ingrained in high school.As I said when I'm wrong, I'm wrong! Used to preach at a church in Mountain Home about once a year on my swing through the area. Haven't been out there or had any contact with anyone in 12 years. But I could leave home right now and go all the way with no map. I never need one if I want to remember where I've been. When I was going out then once, another guy was driving and I fell asleep. I woke up, looked out the window and said "We missed a turn." "No way, I could have!" I had to wait on a road sign to tell him we were headed for Little Rock before he was convinced. Missed a right turn.

I could probably find you guys. Know the area pretty well, and up into Missouri as far as above Branson. Armadillos along the roads like possums out here. Both need to ask the chicken how to cross the road.

I think I’ll give it a try.

1. Alan Smithee, movie director and reknown band leader, is a cousin.

2. Charlie Chaplin was a relative by marriage.

3. I was interviewed by Caroline Kennedy.

[NikolaiI]

I don't know any of those names so I won't answer! :)

[Poppy]

OK here goes:

1. I have flown on the British Concorde

2. I have met 5 living or dead U.S. Presidents

3. I worked as a bouncer in a night club.

[Mrs. Dalloway]

1. I love eating snails

2. I'm a feminist pro-independence Catalan girl and also very close to anarchism, comunism, socialism and similar social movements.

3. I've been in Belfast 3 times.

Well, now I look at things funny, which a lot of times is correct, but as you have seen, when I am wrong, I am way off.

2 of these must be true. As I see it, whether one is right or wrong has no effect on anything else. But if two is wrong, I could see no real reason for you to be in Belfast, North Ireland three times only. Were you there to visit family or attend school, more than three would be necessary. But if three is false, the same thing applies, it makes no difference.

So, 1 is false, 2 discribes you, and three times you have attended protest ralleys in Belfast. I am either right, right with wrong explantion, or very wrong.


Tell me which.

and the answer iiiiis: 1 is true (snails are cooked here, so we eat them very often), you are right with number 2 it's absolutely true. And unfortunaltely I've never been in Belfast or Ireland but I want to go to Ireland ("both") :( anyway it is a good explanation!! hehe

Ok. This is true, one of Charlie Chaplin's sons married one of my mothers cousins. Caroline Kennedy did interviewed me in Memphis the week Elvis died.
Alan Smithee does not exist, well not this one. They use that name when a movie is so bad that the director doesn't want his name associated with it or back during/ the unAmerican activities investigations, when a blackballed director was used on a film.So this is a big fat lie.

Poppy must have fallen asleep! His lie is #1. He's been on the Concord, but it was on the ground not in the air.(Bounced and bounced in his younger days)

[Poppy]

Yep, #1. the Concorde was on the ground and we just got a ride on the tarmac.
#2 When I was a member of the fourth estate I was able to meet the 5.
#3 Don't you love part time jobs. A doorman at Mr. T's Lounge.

[Pendragon]

Well, I have been doing terrible at getting these of late, so let's see if I can lie with a straight face:

1.) I have a nearly photographic memory, yet there are gaps in it I will never regain. This is a result of a complete nevrvous breakdown in 1994.

2.) I have three basic fears: total silence, total solitute, and total darkness. These are why my medication must be regulated at least twice a year, sometime more often, as I cannot function without the medication.

3.) I have shared space in poetry magazines with a President of the United States, a best-selling author, and a man who writers Sherlock Homes pastchies.

[papayahed]

ok Pen. I'm gonna go with #1, I have no reason except it "seems" like the lie.

OK, reveal time. I note that no one doubted number three, which is good. The President was Jimmy Carter. The best-selling author wrote under a pen-name which I am not at liberty to reveal. That's why they usually write under pen names. The Sherlock Holmes pastiches have been collected in book form, from the magazine Murderous Intent, and are called The Adventures of the Second Mrs. Watson by Michael Mallory.

1.) is true. If I want to remember something I can to the smallest detail. I never used a church hymnal, because I knew the songs by heart. I knew hundreds of songs by heart. I could quote reams of poetry by heart. I knew every President in order by heart. I passed my classes by keeping notes in my head. Since I had to work after school and then walk two miles home regarless of weather, I couldn't take home books, I had no bookbag, I had to remember. Since my breakdown, you could drive a lorry through my memory gaps, and I miss words in songs I once knew perfectly.

2.) Here comes the lie for a couple of reasons. These three things are typical of most bi-polar people, and they have nothing to do with how medicine is regulated. I have defeated all three. My major fear is spiders. Cannot stand the creepy things! I'm working on it, go to the pet store and hold tarantulas as long as I can stand it. But it hasn't left. Gotcha!

Ok lets see if you can guess my lie

1.I have always topped the grades in my college and was a rank holder
2.I go for swimming in the weekend
3.My favorite quote is "Remember at the end of the game the king and the pawn go back into the same box"

Keep guessing.............


I'm guessing # 2.

[Divine Comedy]

Hey Papayahead...
You are too good. Do tellme how you guessed that at the first go...
1. Yes I have always topped my grades
2. You are right I dont even know to swim. If am thrown in a lake I would for sure drown and die. Let alone the lake swimming pool is enough for me to drown :(
3. Thats definitely my favorite quote...

You are good papayahead....Tell me how u guessed that.

[barbara0207]

Congratulations, Divine (for your top grades, I mean.):thumbs_up I'd have gone for # 2, too, but papaya got in before me (not the first time, too. :D )

Here are my truths and one lie:

1. I write music (parts) for my choir so that they can sing wellknown pop songs .
2. I hate my job. It eats me up, burns me out.
3. I love the Harry Potter books. But I haven't read the last one yet.

What do you think?

[motherhubbard]

Barbara, I'm going with 1. I put in 2 and then changed it.

[Poppy]

Congratulations, Divine (for your top grades, I mean.):thumbs_up I'd have gone for # 2, too, but papaya got in before me (not the first time, too. :D )

2. I hate my job. It eats me up, burns me out.
3. I love the Harry Potter books. But I haven't read the last one yet.

What do you think?

I think #3 is the lie. If you LOVE the Potter books, you would have read the last.

[papayahed]

You are good papayahead....Tell me how u guessed that.

I don't know, just a guess.


Congratulations, Divine (for your top grades, I mean.):thumbs_up I'd have gone for # 2, too, but papaya got in before me (not the first time, too. :D )

I'm gonna agree with Poppy and go with #3.

[Pendragon]

I GUESSED IT!!! HAHA motherhubbard!!! ( I hate spiders too, Pen. Nasty, sneaky thingy)
You did indeed, and I didn't even give you credit Granny Sandy. http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/sportlich/a040.gif Now you know why number 1 is definately true. Memory gaps. I remembered you said "Dragons fear nothing." and took that as you had guessed wrong! Duh! "A mind is a terrible thing is see go to waste..."


Congratulations, Divine (for your top grades, I mean.):thumbs_up I'd have gone for # 2, too, but papaya got in before me (not the first time, too. :D )

2. I hate my job. It eats me up, burns me out.
3. I love the Harry Potter books. But I haven't read the last one yet.

What do you think?
Let's try to read this one right:

#2) Well, frankly few people do not hate their job...
#1) Writting music parts requires a great deal of skill. One wonders why one with that skill would be stuck in a job she hates, when she could make money writing music for popular songs?
#3) Then again, if you love Harry Potter, why have you not read the last book?

I am a book collector myself, and time is a factor at times as to when the book is available in my area, or when I am too busy to read.

I say 1.) If I was that skilled in music, I would not be currently disabled, people are always asking for someone to write music for a song they have written. I know at least three people who make a good living that way. Send them a song on tape, they write and arrange the music.

[barbara0207]

Uh-oh, everyone is wrong. I must be a very contradictory person ...:(

# 1 Yes I do write parts for my choir, but just easy ones. I couldn't do that on a very high level.

# 2 I love my job. But I only do part-time so that it doesn't eat me up and I have time for things like # 1.

# 3 Yes, it's sad and hard to believe but true. I had to read a lot of other stuff, so HP had to wait.

So # 2 was the lie. :D

[symphony]

Here i go, choose the 1 lie... :p


1. Organic chemistry is giving me headaches lately.

2. I am in love with physics.

3. I'm pretty good at maths.

[barbara0207]

I'll go with # 2. If chemistry is giving you headaches, then you probably won't be in love with physics because many people find physics more difficult than organic chemistry.

[Nightshade]

IM going with 1 as the lie :nod:

[symphony]

perhaps i shall wait for some more guesses? any more takers? :D

[Pensive]

Here i go, choose the 1 lie... :p


1. Organic chemistry is giving me headaches lately.

2. I am in love with physics.

3. I'm pretty good at maths.

To my crystal ball, the third one seems to be a lie, though I hope it's true.

[symphony]

Organic chemistry IS giving me a headache and always will, i guess.

I AM deeply in love with Physics, esp. Particle Physics and Cosmology.

But unfortunately, I'm really bad at maths, which means I'll never be successful in studying Physics in future!

So #3 was a lie.

Winner: Pensive! :P Long live her crystal ball!

[Pendragon]

Disregaurd

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Four/Nada.gif

[papayahed]

I'll try this again:

1. I've agreed to go to 4 different coworkers churchs over the next 4 sundays.

2. 1 more speeding ticket and my license will be suspended.

3. I have a fairly large DVD collection which includes All the Star trek movies and TNG TV series.

[Nightshade]

Ok going to say 2 and 3 are true... alhough is pretty plausibile

[motherhubbard]

I don't know... Tough one! I'll say 2

[Pendragon]

I've been on the fritz lately, these headaches are really messing with my head, but I'm going to say 2. Gut feeling says 1, but it's been wrong lately, and I'm reasonably certain you are a Trekkie.

[papayahed]

Ah Ha!!! I've stumped you guys! finally!

#1 is true. Unfortunately I mentioned I'm kind of exploring all religions and a few coworkers said that what better way to explore then to attend different dervices...

#2 is Unfortunately true. I don't have a very good driving record. I'm not a menace I just seem to always get caught - I once got a ticket for making a right turn without signaling!!!!

#3 False!! Pen is right I am a trekkie but I don't own very many DVD's and the ones I do own I can't figure out how or why I have them....Like Mystery Men - What wold posses me to buy Mystery Men?? or Mars Attacks??

[Pendragon]

[papayahed]

It's not stumping to take advantage of a sick man... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Bond.gif

Your well enough to play your well enough to stump.;)

[Pendragon]

So let's see if we can breath some life back into the old thread again.

1.) Despite having Robin Hood as one of my heroes in my youth, damages to my collarbone prevent me from using a bow.

2.) Since Zorro was also one of my heroes, I searched the Internet like a madman until I found an affordable rapier which I love.

3.) A third legend that I've always admired is Sherlock Holmes, and like Holmes, guessing is out of the question. I make no claim of always being right, but I do not arrive at my answer by mere guess.

Choose with care, for nothing is ever what it seems...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Duh.gif

[Granny5]

I'm going to guess #2, but I think they all could be truths.

[motherhubbard]

I'm going to say 1, no 2....no 1. yeah 1. OK better make it 2. 2.

[Granny5]

I'm going to say 1, no 2....no 1. yeah 1. OK better make it 2. 2.

you are so decisive!

[barbara0207]

I'd go for # 3. When you made all these lovely paper dolls you certainly used all the real information you could get or remember, but I think sometimes it was clever guesses that helped you, eg with the right colour of clothes or hair.

[Poppy]

So let's see if we can breath some life back into the old thread again.

1.) Despite having Robin Hood as one of my heroes in my youth, damages to my collarbone prevent me from using a bow.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Duh.gif

I think maybe #1...during the time you would have been watching lots of tv, Zorro would have been more popular. I pick you for a horseman with a sword over trying to lead a bunch of merry men in tights and drinking grog.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Duh.gifAnd the winner is: Poppy!

Granny Sandy was correct in saying they could have all been true.

#2) Yeah, I'm disabled and on a budget, but I dug the Internet over until I found a decent rapier I could afford. A man who collects blades and likes Zorro has to have one!

#3) Barbara: No I really do not guess even on the dolls. Every post people make gives clues they do not intend to leave. Signon name can be a clue. Profile gives hints. Once someone stated that they hated red, for example. I dressed their doll in green, and they loved it. Green is red's opposite color. If someone has mentioned where they live, ancestry, or such, clues to eye and hair color come up. But sometimes I follow the wrong clue and I miss wildly.

1.) I did mess up my collarbone, but it hasn't affected my skill as an archer. I was fairly good until I had to sell my bow, and I haven't replaced it.

You're up, Poppy!

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Four/DaMan.gif

[Poppy]

Aha!! Finally I win something:thumbs_up

Ok here goes:

#1 I once worked as a soda jerk.

#2 I am a proficient horseman.

#3 For therapy and self relaxation I love to get on the tractor and mow the
two acres.

~Poppy

[motherhubbard]

I know, but I won't tell

[CrazyDiamond]

Uh, since I don't know you, i'm going to take a wild stab at the dark and say...

Number 3. =/

[barbara0207]

Mostly I'm wrong, but I'd say #1. As you seem to live in the country, 2 and 3 seem probable.

[papayahed]

I'm gonna say #2.

[Pendragon]

Let's see Poppy:



#1 I once worked as a soda jerk.

#2 I am a proficient horseman.

#3 For therapy and self relaxation I love to get on the tractor and mow the
two acres.


#1.) Likely, and careful, you are telling your age by the term.
#3.) Why not? One of the Presidents you met chopped wood for exercise.

#2.) Why do people think that country folk have to be horse riders? I've ridden them, but am hardly proficient. I'll go with two. I'd bet you've been on one a time or two, briefly.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Horsey.gif

[Poppy]

Papayhed and Pen both got it right....

I just never got into horses, and like Pen said, I have been on a few, but really never liked it.

I did work in my dad's drug store as a soda jerk, and yep Pen does tell my age. I remember mixing coke syrup, cherry flavoring, and carbonated water for a primo coca cola. Mixing malts, shakes and ice cream sodas, and dishing out plenty of tuna and pimento cheese sandwiches.

I actually do like to mow and spending some time on the little tractor is refreshing.

OK Papayhed Your now up!!!!!

[kiz_paws]

I think I would like to jump into this game. Two truths and a lie, eh? Hmmmm ....

1. I was a substitute organist at a church for six months.

2. I published an internal manual of office protocol.

3. I am a well-studied ballerina.

[RobinHood3000]

I vote 2 - it seems kinda funny.

[barbara0207]

I'll go for # 3, but I don't know why. I'm always wrong, anyway. :D

[papayahed]

I'm going for either #2 or #3. I think 3.

[Pendragon]

OK, Kiz, I know you are dying to hear my analysis, which is good entertainment when I miss the boat!

OK. I have had the advantage of looking at your picture.

1. I was a substitute organist at a church for six months. (You have a musicians fingers, true enough. The face doesn't have the light of one for who it is their first love, but I will vote true here.)

2. I published an internal manual of office protocol. (You also look as if you belong in an office. You look as if you are used to being listened to, rather than having to listen to others. I vote true here as well.)

3. I am a well-studied ballerina. (You are small enough to have been a ballerina. But I'm thinking you studied as a child and never took your talent to the big stage. I vote three as false.)

And, Regis, that's my final answer, right or wrong.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/CrystalBall.gif

[Weisinheimer]

I'm going with 3.

[kiz_paws]

Wow, I am totally awed by the astute people here at LitNet. Yes indeed, my number 3 was a total lie. I took up a simple ballet class when I was in first or second grade, and then it became apparent that piano was my true love... and yada yada....

Good stuff, you guys! :)

[papayahed]

Here goes: (I think most of these I've written about)


1. I am a candy whore. I like all things sweet, especially Starbursts, Mike and Ikes, and juju fruits.

2. One of my first jobs in high school was working as a prep cook at Big Boy (a family restaurant).

3. I have a patent. As a co-op student I worked in R&D.

[Bakiryu]

I'll go with 3.

[Granny5]

I'll go with #1

3. I have a patent. As a co-op student I worked in R&D.

Well....

1.) I vote true although I wouldn't word it that way :blush: :blush:
3.) Possibly true, I seem to remember something about you having a degree.

2.) I'm going with false. If I recall, Big Boy is fast food chain, although part of the chain latter became Shoneys, which is a family restaurant.

[papayahed]

Pen, you must be feeling better - you're correct.

1) I am a candy whore. I'm eating licorice as we speak. (Sorry for the wording)

3) True, I do have a patent for a project I worked on as a co-op

2) Big Boy is/was a family restaurant, at least the ones in MI, but I was a dishwasher not a prep cook.

[Nightshade]

I knew that one I rember someone calling your first job an underwater ceramic engineer or something... :D

[Bakiryu]

Aw. I was wrong. oh well!

[kiz_paws]

I was thinking that #2 was the fib, so cool that you have a patent, Papayahed! :)

[Pendragon]

Pen, you must be feeling better - you're correct.

1) I am a candy whore. I'm eating licorice as we speak. (Sorry for the wording)

3) True, I do have a patent for a project I worked on as a co-op

2) Big Boy is/was a family restaurant, at least the ones in MI, but I was a dishwasher not a prep cook. Yeah, I found a map on Big Boy's official site just now, and MI seems to be overrun with Big Boy Restaurants, but there isn't a single one close to me. All of them were sold to Shoney's.

[Granny5]

When I worked for Shoney's back in the early 70's they were called Shoney's Big Boy.

[Pendragon]

Well, in the interests of keeping the game moving, shall I see if I can fool you again?

1.) Although I was born in 1960, long after their heyday, I am a pulp fiction magazine fanatic, and collect heavily in that genre.

2.) Allan Quatermain has been one of my heroes, and emulating him, I do not use scopes for my rifles, yet I am a dead shot even at long range.

3.) I think Batman the best hero DC Comics ever had. It's easy to be a hero when you are the advantages like Superman, but Batman is an ordinary man who had to earn his way!

[motherhubbard]

Pen, I was leaning toward 3, but I'm going with 2. It's hard to be a dead shot at long range without a scope and I only know one person who is. If I'm wrong I'll know two!

[Poppy]

I still say #3. There are many more super heroes that I think you would have picked as your favorite over Batman. Maybe the Hulk or Green Hornet.
I would say you took more kindly to one with real SUPER POWERS over a weakling like Batman....;)

[BlueSkyGB]

#1 Well, I believe you do like this genre

#2 we know you like Quartermain, hmmm as for being a good shot..

#3 and we know you like comics....but is Batman your Fav?

Guess I'll go with #3, you seem like a Dr. Strange fan....LOL...:lol:

[papayahed]

After some searching I'm going with #2.

[farnoosh]

I'm with #2

[Pendragon]

Well, in the interests of keeping the game moving, shall I see if I can fool you again?

1.) Although I was born in 1960, long after their heyday, I am a pulp fiction magazine fanatic, and collect heavily in that genre.

3.) I think Batman the best hero DC Comics ever had. It's easy to be a hero when you are the advantages like Superman, but Batman is an ordinary man who had to earn his way!Revelation time, eh?

Well.

1.) Asolutely true. I have every Doc Savage, every Shadow (in fact I write for a website devoted to The Shadow), most Spider's, many G-8's, Operator 5, etc. Someone had to have read my Case of the Cautious Casanova which is still somewhere on the short stories thread.

3.) Oh, yeah. The heroes who have to work to be one are my favorites, and from DC Comics, that would be Batman. With Marvel perhaps Daredevil or Captain America. Even Spiderman, because with all of his powers, he has to scrape for a living, not a millionare who never has to worry.

So MotherHubbard, Papayahed and Farnoosh got it right, but all is still not what it seems. I am a deadshot indeed without a scope with either my Marlin .22 or Winchester 1890 model 30-30. I can blow spots out of a playing card with my .22/.22 magnum sixgun pistol. The heroes I was trying to emulate were Wild Bill Hickock, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Annie Oakley. Except for King Solomon's Mines, I read Quartermain only after the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie, but I have most of the books now. On my Marlin .22 magnum rifle I have reluctantanly placed a scope, for 300+ yards. I would rather rely on my eyes.

But you ladies got the prize and one of you may go now!

The truth is so much stranger than fiction...

[RobinHood3000]

Boo, Batman!! :p

[Pendragon]

And people wonder why he's not a team player...

[Pendragon]

2 truths and one big lie.

1.) I once spent an evening chatting with gang members in West Memphis, Arkansas, all of whom were wearing full "blood" colors and probably armed. I had on a suit and tie, and we spent an hour peacefully talking.

2.) Despite my many collections of Ghost Stories, I am firmly convinced that ghosts are figiments of imagination only and do not exist in any form. Never saw one, never will.

3.) Despite the fact that red is a color that is bad for my eyes and even can set off tension, it is my favorite color. My truck would be red, but I buy used vehicles, and they didn't have a red one. My daughter's Escort (used to be our car) is red, has almost 200,000 miles and doing fine!

Good luck!

[Granny5]

Knowing of your travels, I believe #1 to be true. How could anyone make up West Memphis?

I also believe #3 to be true. I love the color red too.

So, I pick #2 as the lie. After all, all Southerners believe in Ghosts!

[BlueSkyGB]

Going to go with Granny's pick also..

Been in West Memphis myself...and could very well believe that one.:D

# 3 sounds like you...

So # 2 has to be it....

[samercury]

:lol: It's definitely 2

[grittylit]

ok noone knows me on here...being a newby... so it will be interesting to see what people say

#1 I love crime stories, formulaic, tortured lead protagonists, the grittier the better

#2 i read more than $300 worth of magazines a month

#3 I am writing a novel set in morrocco and brainstorming about how to incorporate the novels scenery (the middle east) to be something that my readers would empathise with, rather than judge.

[grittylit]

whoops properly read how to play this thing... feel free to answer to keep the guesses flowing but otherwise mods, feel free to delete post so that the real winner can post their truth/lies ;)

Pen, what's the answer???

[Pendragon]

2 truths and one big lie.

Well, Granny Sandy, BlueSky, and Pixie all know me too well! http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/sportlich/a040.gif

1.) I once spent an evening chatting with gang members in West Memphis, Arkansas, all of whom were wearing full "blood" colors and probably armed. I had on a suit and tie, and we spent an hour peacefully talking. Certainly true. On my way hope from a preaching trip. Stopped for gas and ended up chatting with a carload of black gang members. I wasn't threatening their turf nor disrespecting them, so we talked for a good while, they all whished me good luck on the long drive home and we parted ways. Treat people like you want to be treated and they will have more respect for you. Don't act like they are low-lifes, or sterotype them.

2.) Despite my many collections of Ghost Stories, I am firmly convinced that ghosts are figiments of imagination only and do not exist in any form. Never saw one, never will. Oh, yeah, False. I live within walking distance of one of the most famous haunted places in this area. The Old Stone Inn, just off I-81 at exit 50. Have I seen ghosts? I've seen things I can't explain. Ghosts or not, as Granny says, I'm Southern.

3.) Despite the fact that red is a color that is bad for my eyes and even can set off tension, it is my favorite color. My truck would be red, but I buy used vehicles, and they didn't have a red one. My daughter's Escort (used to be our car) is red, has almost 200,000 miles and doing fine! This is all true, the bit about red being bad for me, but it is my favorite color.

Congrads!

[BlueSkyGB]

Hey Pen:
Just somehow knew that the Memphis one was true...
I used to live in an area that was considered the bad part of town...
Gang area....but our small little block was a safe zone....
the gang leader's grandmother lived next door to us...it was amazing how if you walked one block over there was a turf war, but as long as you were on our block it was as safe as could be....
and yes many interesting conversations took place during the time I lived there.

back on topic...
grittylit....going to take a guess here...$300 a month...hmmmm
sounds steep....so this one is my guess.

Hey BueSky, when did you live in West Memphis?

[Weisinheimer]

grittylit, I'm going with #2 also.

[BlueSkyGB]

Hey BueSky, when did you live in West Memphis?

The mid 70's.....74 I think, till 76 sometime...
hard to remember the 70's......:lol: :D :lol:
Then moved to Nashville and worked in a factory for 6 months...then out of state...
Went back to Memphis and visited this spring...lots of changes since the 70's.
Or maybe my mind is clearer now.....:D

[grittylit]

no its not 2.... i dont SPEND $300 on mags but i work in the magazine industry and read ALOT of magazines (reaserch and all that) - alot are from overseas also and alot are arty collectable ones that cost $20ea

its a bit embarassing when i look at what it would all add up to per year:blush:

We lived in Memphis from 74 till 80 or 81...my hubby worked in radio there at WMPS. Ever listen to Rick Dees or Ron Jordon when they were there? It was the #1 station most of the time. Shared #1 with WHBQ.

[Granny5]

no its not 2.... i dont SPEND $300 on mags but i work in the magazine industry and read ALOT of magazines (reaserch and all that) - alot are from overseas also and alot are arty collectable ones that cost $20ea

its a bit embarassing when i look at what it would all add up to per year:blush:

ok gritty, which is it, #1 or #3?

[grittylit]

no more guesses?

its #3.. i would love to write a novel... and write one with a gorgeous backdrop like morrocco but im not at the moment :)

That leaves a coin flip. Anyone has a 50-50 shot. That's why you don't reveal until you are satisfied no one is going to guess correctly or unless someone gets it right. I went with the most logical, as always, since I don't guess, I make logical deductions. No way could I see anyone spending that kind of money on magazines. You don't; you are in the busines, something I didn't think of. If you hadn't explained, others might have suggested one of the other two. Try us again!

Sure did listen...wow small world....
actual time there was in 75-76...

[Pendragon]

OK, Granny Sandy, since I make people think.

1.) I have read & written poetry since childhood, and can recite many poems by heart. However, I find reciting them in a British accent helps me remember them better and I am less apt to make mistakes.

2.) I can and have written some of my best poetry on the first draft and within six or seven minutes, and this includes fairly complicated form poems. When I am “in the grove” words simply flow.

3.) Despite a large vocabulary and even flashes of other languages that appear in my poems, I graduated High School with a low B, due to a touch of dyslexia and some problems with Math, and currently have only an AAS degree which is in General Studies. I was one class short of being able to go for my Bachelor’s and too lazy and sick to go back, realizing it would change nothing about my situation.

Go for it!

[samercury]

Didn't see that before
...I'll go with 3 :nod:

[Pendragon]

One vote for 3. Anyone else?

[Pendragon]

Well, since Pixie is one of my favorite people, and she got it in one, I will give her one of the smiles she likes: http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/sportlich/c025.gif and explain about these things:

1.) I have read & written poetry since childhood, and can recite many poems by heart. However, I find reciting them in a British accent helps me remember them better and I am less apt to make mistakes.

Un-huh: See, the extra effort of keeping the British accent going helps keep me focused on the poem I am reciting. I used to do Dr. Seuss stories by heart, and breaking down each character into a different accent helped me keep that straight.

2.) I can and have written some of my best poetry on the first draft and within six or seven minutes, and this includes fairly complicated form poems. When I am “in the grove” words simply flow.


Yes. I write the vast majority of my poems on a first draft. I have written poems that people here have given rave reviews in stunningly little time. But I get writers block and can't pull nothing together for weeks.

3.) Despite a large vocabulary and even flashes of other languages that appear in my poems, I graduated High School with a low B, due to a touch of dyslexia and some problems with Math, and currently have only an AAS degree which is in General Studies. I was one class short of being able to go for my Bachelor’s and too lazy and sick to go back, realizing it would change nothing about my situation.

The problem with this is that most of it is true. That could be what confused many of you. I did only graduate High School with a low B. Math is not my strong suit. I have dyslexia to a certain extent. I was one class short of being able to go for my Bachelor's (I needed Speech, but I was sick and it was my Internship year. So I decided against the extra class, planning on coming back in the summer after Graduation [Summa Cum Laude] and taking it, by then I realized it would change nothing. But my degree is IST, Information Systems Tech. Computer Geek. Not General Studies. Gotcha. Except for Pixie, of course...

*boasts and acts as if has the ability to peep inside people's hearts and minds and discover the core of them except one, her own* :lol:

Erm okay, here is one I have thought of. A very easy one:

1) My mother's brother's daughters (uncle's daughters, my cousins) and I are very good friends.

2) I have got a poem I really liked posted by a fellow lit-net member in a notebook.

3) I have got a poem I did not like copied from a magazine in a notebook too.

[motherhubbard]

Well, I don't know about easy. I'll say #3

Lessee here Pensy if logic will serve:

2: I'm pretty sure that you have one of mine copied

3: Could be a school assignment.

1: Something about the way you put their titles makes me wonder. I have cousins I cannot abide. I'll say #1 is the falsehood.

The first one is a lie. My uncle (mother's brother) has no daughters. :p Good job, Pen!


Pensive????
Sorry motherhubbard for the late reply. Couldn't visit lit-net for quite sometime.

[motherhubbard]

I'm not fussing< i understand. I just get to wondering when I don't match with Pen, and I never do and he's always right...

[Pendragon]

I haven't done this for a while. Let's see.

My son and I visited a pet store today, this much is very true. While there I:

1.) Held a baby hedgehog with no gloves for over 45 minutes while she fussed, but she wouldn't uncurl. Fussed worse than a Geinea Pig!

2.) I surprised the lady by holding their largest snake, an 18 foot boa constrictor. She said it bit the last customer to hold it, but maybe I have a way with snakes.

3.) I got very careless with a grey parrot and have a bite on my finger to show for it. It was odd, because the one she said bites, liked me, and this one was tame enough to give her kisses!

One's a lie... :nod:

[Pendragon]

Oh, come on? Nobody even gonna guess? And I cross my heart that one is a lie! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Four/Goon.jpg

[Remarkable]

I think 2) is definitely true, sice it is not really weird to know how to hold a snake,you might be really good at it.
3) does not sound unbelivable because since you got friendly with the snake, you thought everything would go OK and you believed you were a great animal lover or handler. Which turned out to be wrong...
I would say the first one is a lie...45 minutes seem to be too much, however good you might be with animals.

[Pendragon]

#1) Is true, so you loose-- I am extremely good with animals of all types, and have caught many wild pets before...

#3) I am usually good with birds but this one caught me off-gaurd and pinched the finger agaist the bar and took off a chunk of finger!

So, although I am a very good snake wrangler, I did not ask for the snake that day! I didn't even go into the reptile room. so #2 is false. Which would get most of my friends, who know I am not afraid of snakes or have seen pictures of me with wild ones.

Go on and do one yourself...http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Pizza.gif

[Weisinheimer]

awww, you didn't give me enough time to guess. But I would've gotten it wrong anyway, I was sure the snake thing was true. Good one.

It's my turn???Yay!Let's give it a try...

1)I was in a very cold city this weekend and because I kept my feet too long in the snow,I couldn't feel them for quite some time.

2)Today I spent two hours of my life waiting to go to him and in the end,I didn't clarify the matter.

3)I'm intending to sing in a small concert wholy unprepared.

OK MS Remarkable, let's see if my logic is up to you.

#2) I will go with as true, we often do things exactly like that. It's called "life."

#3) I have myself been caught off gaurd and asked to sing or play music in front of large audiences totally unprepared and I am not a trained voice or player so I would say this could happen, yes.

1.) You went too far in describing how your feet became cold. This makes me suspicious that this is the lie. I vote #1 as the lie.

#1 is the lie!

[barbara0207]

I'd rather go for #3 as the lie because you write you're "intending .. to sing unprepared". Personally, I wouldn't do that. If I know I have to sing in a concert, however "small", I prepare very carefully.

[Remarkable]

Yes,barbara0207 is right.I indeed do not intend to sing wholly unpprepared.Although I haven't practiced anthing yet...But that is because of my extremely slow computer...

Anyway,my feet did freeze badly.Since I am not used to very cold situations,I wasn't imunne enough:)...I had to rub my feet a lot when back in the car.

You were nearly right Pen.My description seems a bit suspitious,no?...

[barbara0207]

You've made my day, Remarkable - I'm not often right on this thread. :D

It's your turn,isn't it?

2. I have a little brother...
3. I cannot stand sushi...

Srry... Actually I love sushi...;)

[Remarkable]

Does that mean #3 is a lie?Really,you shouldn't tell,right?
Ok,I'm confused...

[ZoeyJuly]

Yeah me 2 but #3 is a lie

[Remarkable]

So,who's turn is it now?

[Pendragon]

I'll take it. Try this one, world!

1,) No hablo Español

2.) Je parler Français , mais Je suis rouillé.

3.) Die Deutsch ICH fachkundig als ein Bube ist still stark.

Til Gottdamerung, Amigos! Would I lie? Mais, jamais, cher soi même! Eh, Bein! Vaya con Dios!

One is a lie!

[Taliesin]

Well, you made a mistake in the third and second sentence - still in German, can mean still in english but in that case it is an adjective (a still place) not an adverb. Also, I don't quite understand the sentence - don't see the verb, could be my mistake though.
And it should be Je parle, but as you said you were rusty. So I think you can speak a bit of French.

Don't speak Spanish but the sentence seems very simple, whereas the German sentence seems complicated but I think that perhaps you used Babelfish or something. I think it is a trick.

I think that you can't speak German.

[1n50mn14]

... I'm going to say you're lying about being able to speak German.

[Remarkable]

I suppose the first one is right.You say you don't speak Spanish and as Taliesin said,the sentence is very simple so you don't have to know the language to write it.

The third one must be true,too,but that is only because you made too much mistakes in the second sentence.A person that speaks French,however rusty their French might be,knows basic verbs correctly.According to me,a francophone would never say "je parler"...So,is the second one a lie?

[Poetess]

You don`t talk French.

[barbara0207]

Extremely funny German sentence, Pen.:lol: :lol: :lol:

Re-translated it's:

The German I knowledgeable as a knave is silent strong.

Who can tell if right or wrong
if the knave is silent strong?

[Pendragon]

Oh, yes, my friends, you caught the spy, unt you haf vays to make me talk, eh? Dat is gut! No, I cannot speak German, and the sentence is proof as it was supposed to say "The German I learned as a youth is still good." I did have a German friend as a boy and learned enough to get by, but forgot all of it, except a few words. My High School French is rusty and I read the language much better than I talk or speak it, I sound like a very bad actor trying out for the Marx Brothers. My children speak Spanish, my daughter fluently, but I have problems, and with a larger Hispanic population in the area, I could use the language. Au revoir , mon amis!

How about these statements, then?

1. My study needs redecorating - urgently. But I've been putting it off for three years now because I'd have to remove all my books and things, unscrew the shelves, dismantle the computer etc. Just can't make up my mind.

2. You probably know I'm a teacher and - in my free time - a comedian. I think I'll quit teaching and become a full-time comedian. The government has been heaping extra work on us during the last few years while reducing our pay. It's not fun any more.

3. My two orange tomcats are brothers. We don't know how old they really are because we got them from an organisation that catches and looks after stray cats.

Hm, too easy?

Well, as to #1, most of us have a "to do" list a mile long.

As to #3. I got my Schnauzer from such an agency. She was in the cage with her brother.

Which brings us to #2 and I'm wondering if a teacher wouldn't use the word "comedienne", just being a teacher, and the strictness they impose on others? I'll vote for #2 as the lie, Barbie!

Don't great minds think alike? :p

Yes, certainly too easy for your great minds! :D Of course you're both right. :thumbs_up

Hi, Pen. I didn't even know an English word "comedienne" existed. Had to look it up in my dictionary at once. It says comedienne is old-fashioned and comedian is used for both sexes. What do you make of that, huh? :D

I have a hard time reading you, Pensy, for some reason...

#2) From our conversations, which I miss, BTW, I will say this is true.

#3) Hasn't there only been two seasons?

#1) Your culture does inspire dancing and I am certain you can dance. The question is "Can you dance well?" I seem to recall you saying you had two left feet. So this is the lie. #1 is the lie.

And Barbie, someone who uses the word "daemon" often wouldn't find the word "comedienne" the least old fashioned! :nod:

:lol:

Two left feet? Ummm, not really. But hey this doesn't mean that number one can't be a lie. :p

[Granny5]

I think it's number 3. I believe this is the fourth season of Lost so you may be catching up.

[Remarkable]

1. I can dance well.
2. 'Majority is authority' I am not sure if I agree with this.
3. Have watched only the first two seasons of the tv serial Lost yet.

3)This is not unlikely to happen.I myself have watched only half of the first season,a quarter of the second and the whole third.So this has a high percentage of being true.

1)I suppose you can dance well.Most of the people I know,dance,if not wonderfully,as good as for not stepping on their partner's toes.So I think this is true too.

2)This remains as the only possible lie to me.You are not sure if you agree with it...you say.But you may very well not agree.I think this is a matter where one has a firm opinion.Of course,it could change,but still,it is created and standing.So,the second one is untrue.

[Pendragon]

Well, you have votes for all three. So you gotta ask yourself the question: Am I gonna answer these people? Well, Pensy? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Bluebird.gif

[motherhubbard]

I'm going with #2. I have only seen one episode of Lost and that was last week. I had no idea what was going on. My husband has watched form the beginning and he couldn't tell me what was happening either- I don't think I'll watch again.

[Taliesin]

I am going for 1.

[Pensive]

1. I can dance well.

Nope, I can't unless you count jumping up and down madly which I believe I can do very well but the general standard of dancing well I certainly don't follow. :p Never danced in public too or worked hard enough to learn to dance well. Good job Pen (though of course it's not that I have four legs or two left feet :p) and Tal!



I think this is a matter where one has a firm opinion.

Well, I don't. I wonder if it makes me a weirdo....but really I have met people who believed the same or perhaps they were all weirdos too... :idea:

[Pendragon]

Go for it, Crow-Boy! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/BlackCrow.gif

[Remarkable]

Anybody?

[Pendragon]

Well, I'll go, and see if y'all pay any attention around here.

Today I changed my signature for the third time in two weeks.

1.) The Shadow, the present hero, I've written about 50 short short stories about and had published on the web.

2.) The last guy, The Avenger, was bailing out of a plane with a knife but no gun, as he detests guns, since he lost his family to guns.

3.) The first guy, Doc Savage, wears a torn shirt showing his muscles.


The lie, mes amis?

[Pensive]

The third one seems to be a lie.

[formality hater]

Here I go:

1)I can live without food for at least two days.

2)I can read at least three books at a time.

3)I can imitate singers for example James Blunt,Akon and Nelly Furtado etc.

[Pendragon]

The third one seems to be a lie.

Well, Pensy, I was waiting on more guesses, but then Formal hopped in with a new question, and he hasn't been around for a while so I'll just reveal my answers:

1.) The Shadow:http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Newest/Sh.jpg Yes, I have written and published the stories.

2.) The Avenger:http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Newest/Av.jpg See the gun in his hand? He lost his family to crime, but they were dropped out of a plane sans parachutes...

3.) Doc Savage:http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Newest/DS.jpg Doc indeed wears a torn shirt.

So number 2 is the lie... Gottcha! And I had just changed the picture too! :p

3)I can imitate singers for example James Blunt,Akon and Nelly Furtado etc.

Erm, that's a difficult one. I believe you can do all this so nothing appears to be a lie (following extreme logic) but as for choosing the best option for a lie, I guess I would vote for the second one (though the first one is also giving me trouble).

[Taliesin]

I'd go for the first one.

[formality hater]

Oh ,I am really sorry Pendragon,I wanted to write down my guess first(I had intended to say no.3)then put my own question.I'm sorry again!:angel:

[Remarkable]

I'd say nr.3 is the lie.The two first ones seem very likable to happen.I have a friend who eats about once in a day and a half(and I'm truly getting concerned about her health).Also,I myself,read time after time a lot of books at the same time.Stalin was very famous of this:reading a great number of books at the same time since he was very busy with state buisness.Logically,nr.3 remains as a lie,although you might have a good voice...

[Weisinheimer]

Here I go:

1)I can live without food for at least two days.

I guess #2.

[Pensive]

Logically,nr.3 remains as a lie,although you might have a good voice...

I hope you don't mind me disagreeing with you here but I think actually logically speaking, it's not about voice. I think that the third one can easily be a truth (though of course I might be wrong here) because about everybody can imitate. Good imitation or bad imitation are two other things. How badly/well she/he does it shouldn't be related to that.....and if we go on extreme logic....I think that logically speaking three books can't be read at a time. I mean come on, our brain can take only thing at a time. Logic is a pretty thing to play with. :p

Oh ,I am really sorry Pendragon,I wanted to write down my guess first(I had intended to say no.3)then put my own question.I'm sorry again!:angel:S'all right. Hey, as I said, you haven't been around for a while. Miss you when you're gone ya know? I say #1 on you. I can't do it, that's for sure!

[Remarkable]

I hope you don't mind me disagreeing with you here but I think actually logically speaking, it's not about voice. I think that the third one can easily be a truth (though of course I might be wrong here) because about everybody can imitate. Good imitation or bad imitation are two other things. How badly/well she/he does it shouldn't be related to that.....and if we go on extreme logic....I think that logically speaking three books can't be read at a time. I mean come on, our brain can take only thing at a time. Logic is a pretty thing to play with. :p


No,I don't mind,I love a bit of high quality debate.

You see,the thing is,to be able to imitate you must be a very good interpreteur which is a talent of relatively few people in the world.Imitating as a concept means to act well and to impersonate well.It's like singing.You might like to sing,but you don't sing,it is not called singing what you do (it is merely noise-making) unless it is likable by others.

Then I hope you don't mind if I present some 'low-quality' points for the discussion. :p

Well, as far as I know, imitation is taken as acting in a way (in the desired way) that people get the drift of whom you are trying to play. Now I think that it is not very unlikely logically-speaking (while you apparently think that it is). Can be because the people I know, most of them, are able to imitate the desired person in a way you get the drift who that person is (but mind me I am in highschool and around here it's one of the most favourite hobbies of people to imitate teachers/singers/fashion-models/what-not :p). On the other hand, I have hardly met a person who could read three books at a time (I might be taking it too literally, well...) or live without food for at least two days. Formality can be an exception though. :)

Oh well I guess logic differs from person to person, as I said before, it's pretty fun/yet not very much fun (again depends upon how you take it) to follow the track we find logic leading us on to. :)

Might I just barge in and note that you two may be talking about different things? Some people really can "imitate" other people and not only just so you "get the drift" but that you could actually believe somebody else is talking to you.

As for the "facts", I'd go with Remarkable and #3.

The first one's got to be true because everybody can go without food for two days.
The second one's - well, provided it does mean that formality_hater can switch between books and still get the story in all three - possible and I'd say it's also true.

Dear Members,

Here are my statements.try for the false one.
1)I love reading,

2) I love reading trash.

3) I do write trash.

[Pendragon]

Dear Members,

Here are my statements.try for the false one.
1)I love reading,

2) I love reading trash.

3) I do write trash.

Well, logically, either one or both of the first two statements has to be right. If number 1 is true, number 2 could also be true, but if number 2 is false, the equation is thrown into a mess as I would asume that one would read what one would write. However, I am going for #2. A man can write trash and read what he writes and not particularly love what he writes, it's just a job.

I would go for the second one. You probably wouldn't like to call something you love 'trash'.... :p

[MidniteHowl]

Same here. The 2nd one would be the lie.

First would be true: u're on a literature forum! If u're not in for reading then what r u doing here?

2nd: most likely if u like reading, you prolly read books by your fav authors, thus making it kinda impossible for u to read 'trash'

3rd one: well, we all write trash from time to time, don't we?

[formality hater]

Oh, I forgot to reveal the lie!

No. 2 was a false statement(rather an exaggeration).I can read two books at a time, I have tried to read three but failed to do so!:(

:banana:

1: Today I felt as if my brother was the greatest person in the whole earth for sometime.
2: Got very annoyed by a school friend today.
3: I wrote a poem today.

I hipe I don't sound patronizing, Pensy, but #2, and #3 are so "State of the Union" with you that I will go for #1 being the lie hands down without knowing whether or not you even have a brother! :p

[zanna]

hah, Pen, I like your logic. Sometimes the longest stories are the lies, and that seems like it would be the case here, too. :)

I vote #1 as the lie!

But you are wrong. :p I say that the first one is a truth. I do have a brother and I did feel that way. Now the lie is somewhere between the second and the third one. Think again! :p

[Gadget Girl]

I don't know, maybe #3?

[Pendragon]

#2 Pensy. For this reason. Everyday we get annoyed at someone. So perhaps this time it wasn't at school? ;)

[Gadget Girl]

OK, the winner would be me or Pen. ;) I can feel the tension. Hehe. Jk.

#2 seems to be at the average level. You may have written a poem or maybe just too tired to make one today so you didn't. That's what came to my mind when I said #2. :D Being hopeful!

Oh I mean #3... I'm not in my mind.

[Taliesin]

I'd go for 3.

[Ryduce]

Gotta be #2.

Unless you don't have a brother.

[Pensive]

I don't know, maybe #3?


I'd go for 3.

Yes! :D

Actually, I did post a poem on lit-net the day I typed this post, but it's clearly stated in that thread 'I wrote this poem yesterday'. So it couldn't have been that one. Well, there can always be the possibility of me writing any other but that I didn't do. So the third one is a lie. :)

[Gadget Girl]

:banana: Yay! I won!

OK, I think it's my turn now.

1. I know how to ride a bike.
2. I play soccer.
3. I don't watch basketball.

[Themis]

I'd say #3. You wrote down two things that you do and only the third is something you say you don't do. So, I'm guessing, you're doing that as well.

[AdoreroDio]

I'm going with number two for no particular reason than I think most people can ride bikes and .....well really there is no reason.

[Pendragon]

Just for the fun of it, Gadget dear, I'm going to be mean and say #2 because you can't play it on a broom like Quidditch, knowing you are a Harry Potter fan! :p

[Ryduce]

I'll say #1 simply because nobody else has.

Let's say you play soccer,that being your favorite sport,so you usually don't watch much basketball.

Not knowing how to ride a bike isn't that uncommon,but uncommon enough to throw everyone off.

[Weisinheimer]

I say #2.

[Gadget Girl]

Well, it looks like we only got three winners here... :p

#2 is the lie because I don't play soccer. :) #1 of course, anyone can ride a bike and then #3, I love basketball but I don't really watch it. I play basketball though... only in video games! :lol:

For our lovely Pen, :lol: you are absolutely right but with the Quidditch thing? Let's say you chose #3 or #1, you can't really ride a bike on a broom, can you? :p And you can't play basketball on a broom! Unless you're willing to dribble and flying at the same time. ;)

[AdoreroDio]

I guess I'll go then...

1) I can play the piano, the recorder, and the violen.
2) I have never seen a Harry Potter movie.
3) I've never been in a car accident.
