2 truths and a lie

[Pendragon]

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. ;)Indeed. But you aren't playing anything while riding a bike, unless you are into much more dangerous stuff than I imagine you to be, even mountain biking, you enjoy scenery or get exercise. Nor when watching basketball are you actively involved in the sport other than screaming at the guy with the ball (Make it! Miss it! Air ball!) So the way to get Quidditch involved would be you actually playing soccar (Make the goal for Hogwarts, Gadget!) but no brooms, sorry! :D :) [You realize, of course, that with my weird logic, I am never going to admit to a guess... ;) ]Spoc... um, Pen out. Long may you live and prosper.

[Pendragon]

Let's see AndyDio...

#1) Is likely enough if your family can aford the violin. However, you misspelled the word. I know something of music. A violin has no frets. Unlike a guitar which has frets to guide one, it takes hours of practice just to be able to place one chord. One who practiced that much should be able to spell the word even though English isn't her first language. The e and i keys are typed by different hands, so a simple typo won't do it. Let us say #1

My choice for the lie is #1

#2) Even I have seen most of them and I'm 47 and do not read Harry Potter--wouldn't if you gave me the books...

#3) Sadly, auto-acidents are on the rise world-wide. Unless you live where there are no cars, that's the only way I could really just write this one off. Then you might be in a bicycle accident, or just bump into someone walking down the street!

[Ryduce]

Pen is probably right,but I'll say three for the sake of non-assent.

Perhaps you misspelled violin on purpose to throw us off.

Everyone and thier mother has seen Harry Potter.

You may not have a license,or prefer to walk.I live in one of the worst traffic cities in America and I've never even been close to having an accident.

So I say numero three.

[Themis]

I'm going with #3 again.

[Pendragon]

Yo! AndyDio! Who's correct? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Four/Anxious.gif

[Taliesin]

Bumpity-bump.

Anyhow, since AndyDio hasn't replied for about two weeks, I'll put forth my own trio, having the right to do so due to reasons of guessing things correctly quite a number of times recently in this game and arrogance.
And since I find facts like "I am wearing a black shirt right now" or "My left foot is aching" boring(actually the latter has diabolical perspective to it, making it at least a bit interesting), I think I shall make these three assertions rather personal.

1)Mental: I have been diagnosed as mildly schizotypal.
2)Sexual: I am bisexual, I find both boys and girls sexually attractive.
3)Religious: I consider myself a discordianist, I even carry a card with me that verifies my status as a Pope.

So, which one is the lie?
;)

[Themis]

Eh ... ah ... uhm. *taking a wild guess* #2.

[Pendragon]

Number 3, I believe? :)

[Pensive]

The second one seems to be a lie to me. You are probably either gay or straight.

[papayahed]

I'm going with Number 3 although I'm thrown off by the whole thing, which Tal would write in the singular????

[Pensive]

I'm going with Number 3 although I'm thrown off by the whole thing, which Tal would write in the singular????

Probably Tal has realised his mistake and so has fled away from this thread. Or can be that his fellow crows have attacked him for keeping them out of this post. :p

[Taliesin]

I have been posting in singular since the beginning of this year, actually. I find it amusing how, in the past, people were baffled by me referring to myself as "us". Now I can rebaffle people by us referring to ourselves as "me". Not what I would call good taste, but at least there is the baffling value.

Now, to the game.

I secretly hoped that there would come an answer that would actually be correct.

I am a discordianist. Hail Eris. I have made some posts in this forum referring to the religion since it amuses me. And I have a similar card to this (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/book/43.php) too. Life's a bloody strange thing and there are times I have trouble taking it seriously. To quote a philosopher "Things just happen. What the hell"


I have NOT been diagnosed as mildly schizotypal. I have even never visited a psychiatrist. Why people would ever think that I have mental problems eludes us. Me.
I had a small crush on a diagnosed mildly schizotypal lad some months ago, but I don't think this counts.



And yes, I am bisexual. On the Kinsey scale, I would classify myself as 4 - interested in both lads and lasses, but more in lads. Hmmh, I guess, this counts as coming out in here and I can now join the LGBT in LitNet club, if we have one - do we? I actually don't know if anyone here has been openly non-straight besides BibliophileTRJ, but I have lost touch with everything that has been happening here since the place has grown huge. But well, of course, one could be started.

So, you all were mistaken. Better luck next time.

[Nightshade]

So is it your turn again?

[AdoreroDio]

Very sorry, I missed it. I had forgotten. I didn't replay though because no one was right, I was waiting for another reply. Just so people know....

1) I can play the piano, the recorder, and the violin. This is true, I am just a terrible typer/speller.
2) I have never seen a Harry Potter movie. This is the lie, I have seen them, every one sadly. They do not compare to the books. The books are wonderful the movies suck.
3) I've never been in a car accident. again, this is true, I have never been in a car accident.

Perhaps Tal has finally learned proper grammar after departing from his crow teachers. Though I like Pensive's reasoning as well.

[motherhubbard]

I'll make 3 statements, 2 are true and one is false, can you spot the lie?


If you guess right, it's your turn.

1) I have never seen or read Gone With the Wind

2) I am behind on my homework in every class

3) I love to drive fast on the highway

[wilbur lim]

Motherhubbard,I muse that- is option 3 the lie?

[Weisinheimer]

I'm thinking #3 also.

[Scheherazade]

I will go with number 1.

[pussnboots]

I think I'll go with #3 as well

[motherhubbard]

Why is #2 so believable? I guess because it’s true
One is also true- how embarrassing!
Three is the lie. I even have a hard time driving as fast as the speed limit says. Think of me the next time you tailgate one of those Sunday drivers!

Wilbur lim, you’re next!

[wilbur lim]

Oh,my turn.

Spot the equivocation/lie-

1)I do my homework punctually.

2)I feel sanguine that I could get the possession of a bungalow.

3)I am a narcissist.

[motherhubbard]

I'm thinking #1.

[eyemaker]

I'll go with #3..:)

[wilbur lim]

You are correct,eyemaker.

It is thy turn.

[eyemaker]

woohoo!:D

1. I'm a reticent type when I'm at school.
2. I'm currently busy with a literary-criticism report.
3. I do have a classmate that is a sociopath.


---spot the false statement;)

[wilbur lim]

I speculate it is #1.

[Pendragon]

#1 Perhaps, but it doesn't fit well with #2
#3 Who doesn't? Several were in my class!

I choose #1.

:wave:

[eyemaker]

..no. 1 is the correct answer..
I suppose both speculations are correct..wilbur and uncle pen I'll leave you the next post..:D

[Pendragon]

1.) I have published over 100 poems.
2.) I went to school with three murderers.
3.) I am, unfortunately, addicted to one of my medications.

The lie, please?

[pussnboots]

for some reason I will go with #2

[Pensive]

I had the second one in my mind too but just for the sake of choosing something different I will go for the third one to be the lie.

[Haven]

Number 2 is the lie. 3 murderers seems statistically high

[motherhubbard]

I'll go with #1 just because no one else did :)

[eyemaker]

I'll go with #3...:D

[Pendragon]

Pensy and Eye win.

#1 is very true, I have published that many and more.
#2 Yes, murder statistics are high, but one guy murdered his wife, one his family, and the last was a mass murderer wanted in 3 States. Dumped his last victim about 3 miles from the house here.

#3. The lie. I defeated my valium addiction and currently am addicted to no medication!

Pensy, you are next!

[motherhubbard]

Pensy and Eye won. are either of you going to take a go?

[jekan blazer]

just to get this going again, i'll start it over..

1 i hate dragons

2 i have 12 pets

3 i was born in montana

[Tournesol]

I'll go with #1 as the lie

why would somebody hate dragons? What's the need to hate them anyway, it's not like we have to put up with them?

[papayahed]

I agree with Tour, I'll say #1 is the lie also.

[eyemaker]

I'll go with the 2nd.:D

[jekan blazer]

Tournesol and papayahed win i love dragons!!!
(i actually do have 12 pets!!! birds!!!)
you two go next!!
:D

[papayahed]

1) I want to become a TV newscaster.

2) I have a collection of Star Wars memorabilia worth a little more then $26,000.

3) Once while kayaking we took a wrong turn and ended up paddling 4 hours longer then expected or wanted.

[kilted exile]

gonna go with 2. I know you are into starwars but I dont think to the tune of 26 grand

[Zee.]

Imma go with number one

[maraki16]

i'll go with 1 as well

[papayahed]

Kilted is correct. My Star Wars collection consists of a Boba Fett pez dispenser and a small plastic Yoda that I think I got for free.

I decided last week I want to be a newscaster, I very much dislike a local guy and I want his job.

[kilted exile]

Ok then:

1) I cant ride a bike
2) I cant swim
3) I cant drive a forklift

[andave_ya]

I can't drive a forklift? That's my guess.

[motherhubbard]

I'm going to guess it's the bike.

[Zee.]

swim??

[PoeticPassions]

Ok, here goes...

1) I eat all of my solid food with chop sticks
2) I like to go into used bookstores and smell the books. If a book smells good I will be more inclined to purchase it.
3) I can't sleep with the door open

[jekan blazer]

im gonna go with 3 for poetic passsion...

and 2 for kilted!!!

[Pensive]

Ok, here goes...

1) I eat all of my solid food with chop sticks
2) I like to go into used bookstores and smell the books. If a book smells good I will be more inclined to purchase it.
3) I can't sleep with the door open

The first one is a lie?

[PoeticPassions]

Jekan blazer... 3 was not correct (it's actually true)... pensive, you got it right... I only eat some food with chop sticks. :D

you guys are now supposed to list three things...

[kilted exile]

Andya is correct. I lied about the forklift - I can & do drive a forklift occassionally at work (I have also driven one of those sidewalk sweepers with the circular brushes at the sides & a backhoe on occasion)

I can not however swim (can doggy paddle though)

I also am the only person in the world who has forgotten how to ride a bike

[papayahed]

I was gonna say forklift!!!

How can you forget how to ride a bike? It's just like riding a bike!!:lol:

[jekan blazer]

[The Comedian]

revival time...


1. i have been incarcerated

2. i only have 2 game systems

3. i cant gain weight, no matter how much i eat

who knows my lie?

Bold = lie (I chuckled with the word "only)"

My Three:

1). I have been bitten by a poisonous snake
2). I have talked about the romantic poets with a famous sitcom star.
3). I have never sent nor received a text message.

[jekan blazer]

ummmmmm...
3). I have never sent nor received a text message?

[kingoflombards]

1) I am allergic to artichokes, but still eat them.
2)I have three cats.
3)I have a genius IQ.

[motherhubbard]

1) I am allergic to artichokes, but still eat them.
2)I have three cats.
3)I have a genius IQ.

I'll guess #1- I've never heard of an artichoke allergy

[kingoflombards]

Nope #2

[PoeticPassions]

1. I have an extreme fear of sharks, but have gone cage diving amongst great whites.
2. I can't stand the feel of velvet. It makes me shudder.
3. I have traveled to every continent (except Antartica).

[jekan blazer]

im gonna go with this one...

[Scheherazade]

A reminder on how to play this game:
I'll make 3 statements, 2 are true and one is false, can you spot the lie?

I have flown a plane

I own 4 swords

I can speak 3 languages


If you guess right, it's your turn.

[Pensive]

1. I have an extreme fear of sharks, but have gone cage diving amongst great whites.

Perhaps the third one is a lie?

[papayahed]

I'm gooing with #2.

[PoeticPassions]

it's #3, good job Pensy! :)

your turn

[Doctor Don]

"I have flown and airplane," would be about right, because you have a sense of adventure.
"I have 4 swords," would also be in keeping with your love of adventure--the question is, do you know their history.
"I speak three languages," doesn't ring true. You speak (or write) English like a native, which might suggest Spanish or French for a second but beyond that, languages become a chore for most of us.

[kingoflombards]

I think it is Pensive's turn....

[Pensive]

I think it is Pensive's turn....

Pensive feels generous tonight and thus decides to give her turn to whosoever is the quickest to get to this thread! :p

[Silas Thorne]

1. I go to the gym a few times a week to use the punching bag.
2. Besides writing poetry, I also like writing erotic fiction.
3. My favorite food is dumplings with pork and cabbage stuffing.

[motherhubbard]

I'm going with two.

[kingoflombards]

two? Yes? No?

[Silas Thorne]

Keep guessing.

[zanna]

I'm guessing one, for some strange reason. It just doesn't sit right with me (not that I know any better about the others, either). *shrugs*

[Silas Thorne]

Correct! :) I used to go to the gym to punch the bag regularly, but now I rarely do so, and haven't paid the fees for the gym this year.

Now it's your turn!

[zanna]

Ooh, ooh! Sweet!

1. I suck at this game; usually I forget to make up a lie.
2. I have a rough draft of a teenage romance novel that's over 32 pages long in my word processing program. =P
3. There are three TV's in my house.

[bluevictim]

I guess number 2

[Silas Thorne]

3 Is it?

[PoeticPassions]

is it #1 ?

[jekan blazer]

im gonna say three

[selsabil]

try me:
1- I have 15 cats.
2- I live in Dubai.
3- I can speak three languages.

[zanna]

Whoops -- forgot about this! It is three, Silas and Jekan, so one of you can go next. No TV's in my house. =)

selsabil -- I'm going to guess #1. For no apparent reason, lol.

[kingoflombards]

[jekan blazer]

Whoops -- forgot about this! It is three, Silas and Jekan, so one of you can go next. No TV's in my house. =)

[kingoflombards]

1) I have two dogs.
2)I have two brothers.
3) My great uncle has a plane.

[Nikhar]

Number 1?

[kingoflombards]

Nope. Wrong.

[Nikhar]

Number 2?
Number 3?

lol, which is it! :D

[kingoflombards]

You can only guess once...

[Nikhar]

Hmm...I'll have to wait till someone else comes then.

[papayahed]

I'll say #2.

[kingoflombards]

Yep, it's number 2. I only have one brother.

[papayahed]

1) Back when The Dead were still touring I followed them for a year and a half.
2) I've seen games in 5 different baseball stadiums.
3) I like to read in the bathroom.

[kingoflombards]

[Nikhar]

Number 2!

[papayahed]

It's number 1, I've never seen The Dead.

[Monamy]

Here goes then...
1. My real name is actually pronouncing 2 letters in Arabic.
2. When i was 11, a rat (big one) took a bite of my left thumb.
3. I get scared pretty quick when it comes to high places.

[Nightshade]

I think number 2 is true too. which meakes numebr 3 a lie?

[jekan blazer]

[Nikhar]

Number 3!

[Monamy]

Heheh, I guess seeing through number 1 was easy huh?

lol Nightshade, I take it you're familiar with Arabic? Yup, Yaseen is actually pronouncing ي and س, so yeah 2 letters ;)
As for number 2, it's actually true, sorry jekan :D... don't ask me how it happened because it really is embarrassing :p
Number 3 is the lie, Nightshade and Nikhar got this one right :thumbs_up

[Nightshade]

alllllright! I finally get my turn.
1) I unconsiously mimic the speech and synatx of charcaters of books I am reading as well as people I come into contact with.
2)I am fluentaly verbal and literate in multiple languages.
3) I have a semi photgraphic memory.

:D

[PoeticPassions]

hmm, this is a tough one, Night... ok I am going to go with #2... for no particular reason.

[Taliesin]

I'd say three.

[jekan blazer]

3) I have a semi photgraphic memory.


false?

[Nightshade]

Number two was right, poeticpassions :D

I am fluent verbally and can read arabic and english, but Im useless at writing arabic ( I cant spell at all!-not that this is a new thing but my dyslexia really doesnt like written arabic) I can read and understand french, but I can't speak it or understand itt spoken.
I can understand a fair bit of Japanese but I can read or write or speak it .

As to the semi photagraphic memory, I often 'see' things inverted or upside down when I rember them. :D And Im useless at retaing Proper Nouns.

[Monamy]

I am fluent verbally and can read arabic and english, but Im useless at writing arabic ( I cant spell at all!-not that this is a new thing but my dyslexia really doesnt like written arabic) I can read and understand french, but I can't speak it or understand itt spoken.

I know bits of Japanese too (guess watching anime helps somewhat), but wow--you're awesome! French never been my cup of tea; tried it and failed... totally :sick:

[Nightshade]

[kingoflombards]

Who's next? This is too fun to drop!!!

[Monamy]

Well, I think the lie was number one then... since the game stopped for awhile, let the next posting member starts the cycle again :D

[RobinHood3000]

Poke. :D

1) I have a terrible sense of direction.
2) I have a terrible sense of smell.
3) I have a terrible sense of time estimation.

[Monamy]

I'd say... number 1 is the lie!

[PoeticPassions]

#3, perhaps?

[jekan blazer]

#2...?

[papayahed]

I'm guessing #3.

[Weisinheimer]

I say...#1

[Nikhar]

Well, it seems that Robin Hood's forgotten about it.

Can I make 3 posts?

1.)I want to be a writer.

2.)I want to be a detective.

3.)I want to be a doctor.

[jekan blazer]

#2???

[Nikhar]

Nopes....2 is wrong. I do want to be a detective! :)

[jekan blazer]

#3 then

[Nikhar]

Lol...I think you are allowed only 1 guess.

[kingoflombards]

Yeah, it HAS to be #3. You don't sound that doctor-y.

[Nikhar]

Well, it is number 3.

[RobinHood3000]

Poke. :D

1) I have a terrible sense of direction.
2) I have a terrible sense of smell.
3) I have a terrible sense of time estimation.
Number 3. (Apologies - remembered today. :blush:)

3. Never broke a bone.

[Nick Capozzoli]

1. Is in remission with leukemia.
2. Had rabies.
3. Never broke a bone.

Had rabies.

Rabies is fatal. If you get rabies, you WILL die. You can live in remission from leujemia and with a broken bone, but if you ever get rabies, you are a goner... :sick:

[kingoflombards]

You piked up on that one rather quickly.... Your turn!

[Nick Capozzoli]

1. Graduated from Deep Springs College;
2. Graduated from Cal State University, Hayward;
3. Graduated from UC Berkeley.

[jekan blazer]

1. Graduated from Deep Springs College;


umm is there one lie or two? >.<

[Nick Capozzoli]

1. Graduated from Deep Springs College;

There is one lie, and you identified it. Deep Springs College didn't offer degrees when I attended. Your turn.

[jekan blazer]

1. has never broken a bone

2. has never been on a date

3. has never used drugs

[kingoflombards]

Knowing Jekan, number 3 is the lie:lol:. Just kidding, I'm being mean. It's probably number 2.

[Nikhar]

Lol King! :D


Since no. 2's already taken, I'll go with no. 1

[motherhubbard]

Then I'll take #3

[jekan blazer]

Then I'll take #3

you are absolutley correct...
i take drugs for my mental health problems! (dont worry they have been prescribed {and i dont abuse!})



Knowing Jekan, number 3 is the lie:lol:. Just kidding, I'm being mean. It's probably number 2.

you should have stayed with your first answer kingler!


motherhubbard is next

#1 I love to eat rabbit
#2 I love to eat goat
#3 I love to eat squirrel

[MarkBastable]

#1 I love to eat rabbit
#2 I love to eat goat
#3 I love to eat squirrel


I have you down as a squirrel-muncher. Which sounds like a euphemism.

[kingoflombards]

#1 sounds good.

[Thomas Lucero]

I'm guessing #2. Goat is hard to find in London.

[Mathor]

I'm gonna say 3.

[jekan blazer]

1
!!!!

[papayahed]

I'm going with #1.

[Beautifull]

1. I have seven pets.
2. I have five brothers and sisters
3. My parents are still together.

[eyemaker]

I'll go with no.2

[JuniperWoolf]

I'll say 3, because it seems like the most likely to be true (and therefore, would make a good false).

[jekan blazer]

then i call dibs on #1

[Thomas Lucero]

I'll start a new one.
1. At 18, I took a class in Strategy and Tactics in Modern Warfare. It was pass/fail. With a final exam in the field. With live ammunition. This kept me out of medical school later, as their system counted pass as a 'C'.
2. In a preliminary to the U.S. Chess Championship, I beat the winner of the next cycle in a thrilling five hour match. He won the next U.S. Championship with 13 wins and one draw.
3. One of the strippers living with me at the time fell in love with a customer on her first day of work at the time. She moved in with him shortly after.

[Beautifull]

I'll say 3, because it seems like the most likely to be true (and therefore, would make a good false).
it actually is true:D


then i call dibs on #1
true



I'll go with no.2

WINNER!!!

[Beautifull]

three?

[kingoflombards]

.... Is this still processing? Should we restart this?

Well, if we're both wrong then I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the lie is #1?Hey, you are gooooood! :D

Just to clear up:

True: English is not my first language and I have never posted a picture of myself on the Forum.

I have never met anyone from the Forum IRL.


Your turn Juniper! :)

[JuniperWoolf]

Hmmm... I think I'll try to do this with a theme.

1. I once had my finger cut to the bone when I hit the hand of a guy who was holding a glass.
2. A cat once ripped off a huge chunk of my scalp.
3. I've been accidently shot.

[DanielBenoit]

Knowing you, I sincerely believe in the great possibility of any of these three events taking place. That said, the third option is most brief and least detailed, so I say that :p

[JuniperWoolf]

Haha, good guess. That's the one.

[DanielBenoit]

Yippie!

Okay, here I go:

1. I have been known to lose things such as house-keys, ID cards, etc.

2. I once took a bicycle trip around a town I was very much familiar with. . . .and got lost.

3. I have most likely broken my high school's record for the number of times coming in late in a single year.

[JuniperWoolf]

I'm going to say 3, because you're homeschooled.

[DanielBenoit]

I'm going to say 3, because you're homeschooled.

Haha, NOPE. I did go to high school my freshman year :p

[snowdrop17]

I am going with #2. You can't get lost in a familiar town.

[Heathcliff]

.....

[DanielBenoit]

Sorry Heathcliff, we didn't finish mine, sorry for not posting.

snowdrop you're right, your turn.

[Heathcliff]

Sorry Heathcliff, we didn't finish mine, sorry for not posting.

snowdrop you're right, your turn.

Ahhh... I forgot there were instructions.
Sorry I'll get rid of my other one.

[snowdrop17]

Yeah!!!

Here I go:

1. I know five languages.

2. I know someone from Lit-net in RL.

3. I don't like writing poetry.

Happy guessing. Best of luck...

[Scheherazade]

I will go with #3.

[JuniperWoolf]

I'll guess 2.

[Basil]

I'll take #1.

[Heathcliff]

I'll go with 2 1/2. :crazy:

[snowdrop17]

I'll go with 2 1/2. :crazy:

:hand: Ha! Ha! Ha! There is no possibility for 2 1/2.

Well, to end the wait...
1. I really know five languages.
2. I know a Lit-netter as we are family members.
and
3. I like writing poetry very much.
Sooooooo...

Scheherazade is right.:D Now your turn.

[Scheherazade]

Yay!

Here we go:

- I love lentil soup.

- Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf is my favorite book.

- I believe Superman is the superhero.

[The Comedian]

There is no self-respecting literary forum in the English speaking world that taut Mrs Dalloway as her favorite novel. Ms. Scheherazade lies when she doth write numero dos!

[papayahed]

Mrs Dalloway???? I pick #2.

[Taliesin]

Yay!

Here we go:

- I love lentil soup.

- Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf is my favorite book.

- I believe Superman is the superhero.

I think it is almost impossible that your love for Mrs Dalloway and hatred of Superman in lentil soup would have changed so, I guess it would be ...2?
Damn, I suck at them numbers thingies.

[Scheherazade]

How transparent I am!

Everyone has guessed correctly that Mrs Dalloway is not my favorite novel.

Since The Comedian was the first one who came up with the correct answer, I think it is his turn to lie to us.

[The Comedian]

Yay!

Alright two of these statements are true and one is an outright lie! Common thread: the (former) romantic life of The Comedian

1. One of my former girlfriends was finalist in the Miss America pageant.

2. One of my former girlfriends had a minor role in a recent superhero movie.

3. One of my former girlfriends was imprisoned for being an international spy.

[symphony]

Erm, 3?

[JuniperWoolf]

I'll saaaay... 1, since three is already taken.

[Scheherazade]

I will go for number 2; I have a feeling that 1 and 3 are correct (though I am too lazy to run a search).

[The Comedian]

Numbers 1 & 3 are both true. Number 2 is the lie, which means that Scheherazade is up again.

[Scheherazade]

All right. Here we go:

1. I love Mexican food.

2. I love Sushi.

3. I love melons.

[papayahed]

My guess is #1, which I just can't fathom???

[The Comedian]

I've never heard nothin' about sushi -- so I say number 2 is the lie.

[Heathcliff]

Then I suppose I'll get three.

[Scheherazade]

All right. Here we go:

1. I love Mexican food.

2. I love Sushi.

3. I love melons.I love Mexican food and Sushi but I cannot stand melons (even though I love watermelons)... Melon smell makes me nauseous.

So, it is Heath's turn!

[papayahed]

I love Mexican food and Sushi but I cannot stand melons (even though I love watermelons)... Melon smell makes me nauseous.

So, it is Heath's turn!
:dupe:Watermelon IS a melon!!!!!!


No Fair!!!

[AimusSage]

Cheater!!!!!! ;)

[Nightshade]

:dupe:Watermelon IS a melon!!!!!!


No Fair!!!


Cheater!!!!!! ;)

I have to say I agree!! :arf:

[Scheherazade]

They taste different, they smell different and they look different:

http://eatdrinkbetter.com/files/2008/09/800px-watermelons.jpg http://www.hortyfruta.es/web/fotos/melon.jpg

Wait a minute! They have different names too!!!!

That seems purty fair to me!

:smilewinkgrin:

[Heathcliff]

Yay!!

1) I absolutely hate photoframes.

2) I'd like a job in industrial relations or public speaking when I'm older.

3) I cried in kindergarten when I couldn't find my scooter at an excursion I'd brought it to.

[Satan]

Is it #1?

[The Comedian]

I say number 2.

[papayahed]

I'll go number 1 also.

[billl]

Gotta be number 1.

[AimusSage]

3, because no one has mentioned it yet.

[aliengirl]

I'll choose #3.

[Heathcliff]

It was three. I didn't cry over a scooter, it was a tricycle.

AimusSage said it first so I guess it is his turn. :D

[aliengirl]

Hey! Where is AimusSage? He seems a bit busy.

[AimusSage]

forgot i said that....

hmmm let's see

1. I love peanuts in a nutshell
2. I like Ice-Tea when it is frozen
3. I think spoons are useful tools for eating soup.

[Basil]

1. I love peanuts in a nutshell


Are you saying that you love peanuts while they are in their shells, or are you saying that you love peanuts in a concise, straightforward manner?

[AimusSage]

That is for you to figure out... :p

[cgrillo]

I think I'll say the third one, because to me it seems like most people would think spoons are useful for eating soup.

[The Comedian]

No sane person would like to eat peanuts in the shell. I say number one is the lie.

[Heathcliff]

I'll take two then, just to be different.

[AimusSage]

And we have a winner, Heathcliff!

Too clarify the options, I love peanuts in a nutshell, I buy them in their shell, I just take them out of it before eating them.

Frozen Ice tea is just crazy, can't drink it. I like ice tea when it is just cold, not frozen.

I don't drink soup through a straw, I use a spoon and it is very useful. :)

[Heathcliff]

Frozen Ice tea is just crazy, can't drink it. I like ice tea when it is just cold, not frozen.
Yea, I know. Like, how do you drink ice, it has to melt, then it isn't frozen?

Okay, my turn.

1. I had a party to celebrate my five-thousandth day living on the 10th of September, 2009.

2. I started crying when I though I was getting kidnapped by a clown on stilts, and have been scared of them since.

3. I have never successfully completed a French manicure.

[Basil]

I'm going to say #1. I don't think the math adds up correctly.

[Heathcliff]

I'm going to say #1. I don't think the math adds up correctly.
You are correct. The numbers do add up, but I didn't get to have a party. I wanted one... :(

[Basil]

1. I was once arrested for assault and battery, but the charges were eventually thrown out.

2. I was robbed at gunpoint once in the middle of the day.

3. One time in a club, lead singer of R.E.M. Michael Stipe gave me a very odd look which was probably due to the fact I was dressed as a ballerina at the time.

[Heathcliff]

3. One time in a club, lead singer of R.E.M. Michael Stipe gave me a very odd look which was probably due to the fact I was dressed as a ballerina at the time.
They are all so possible though. I mean, who wouldn't go dressed as a ballerina? I would.

[JuniperWoolf]

Hmm... I'll say 1.

[DanielBenoit]

Damn it I'll take two, though I believe it's one.

[Basil]

Damn it I'll take two, though I believe it's one.
Nope, it's two. Your turn, Dan.

Btw, the assault charge came from a disgruntled fellow who wanted to wreak havoc in my life. He started a fight with me, and then, unhappy with the results of the contest, decided to get the courts involved (where he was handed yet another, even more humiliating defeat). And the Michael Stipe encounter was the weekend before Halloween. I kinda stood out because almost nobody else was in costume. :willy_nilly:

[Basil]

I feel as though I may have shocked this thread into a state of dormancy.

[Heathcliff]

I feel as though I may have shocked this thread into a stage of dormancy.
Not really. I thought it would be one of those oddly true things and believed it for some reason, so I didn't choose it.
We're waiting on DB for his truths and lies.

[Basil]

I appreciate your reassurance. :)

[Scheherazade]

I feel as though I may have shocked this thread into a state of dormancy.Surely you are used to it by now... Since that is the usual effect your posts create...

:p

[DanielBenoit]

Oh, I kind of forgot, sorry.

1. I have read the complete works of Shakespeare
2. I own the complete works of Beethoven
3. I have listened to the complete works of Public Enemy

[The Comedian]

Number one is the lie.

[AimusSage]

number two, unless you mean the complete KNOWN works of beethoven in which case I don't know.

[Basil]

#3. You've never listened to Yo! Bum Rush the Show. I can tell.


Surely you are used to it by now... Since that is the usual effect your posts create...

:p
We can't all be as popular as you, Scher. :nonod:

[DanielBenoit]

Hehe, The Comedian wins. Believe it or not, but despite the fact that I find pretty much all contemporary mainstream rap to be misogynistic pornography, I have a great appretiation for the classics and the immortals such as 2Pac and Public Enemy, those men who actually wrote about something meaningful and real and powerful. "Fight the Power" is in my humble opinion the best song of the 80's and provides Do the Right Thing with one of the greatest openings in movie history.

Sadly, I have not read the complete works of Shakespeare, but am pretty damn close. And I do in fact own the complete known works of Beethoven, a possession I rejoice in.

hahaha, I just posted that in the rate the song thread.

Yay! When I read your list, all I could think about was this: "Timon of Athens, really? I think not!"

Okay, here's mine -- two are true, and one is a lie. The theme is "things I've never done".

1. I've never left the U.S.A.
2. I've never sent a text-message.
3. I've never read Jane Eyre.

[Niamh]

I would have guessed no. 1 but i'm, sure i read somewhere you have been outside the USA so i'm going with no.2. you seem like the kind of guy who likes conversation and text messages are very impersonal.

[Heathcliff]

1. I've never left the U.S.A.
Wild guess.

[JuniperWoolf]

I think that you might have read Jane Eyre in college, but since that's the only option left I'll pick that one.

(Honestly though, I think that the wrong answer is #2)

[The Comedian]

Heathcliff is the super sleuth. Number one, that I have never left the US, is a lie. I've been to a bunch of other countries. True is that I've never read Jane Eyre, been meaning to though. Also true is that I've never sent a text message.

Lie to us Heathcliff!

[Heathcliff]

Hehe. Okay then. I've never left Australia so I just thought maybe you wouldn't have left the US.

1. I believe that all chairs should come with instructions on how to use them.

2. I failed writing the letter 'j' in grade prep and the use of exclamation marks in grade one, and I've never failed anything else.

3. I used to have, and still sort of do, have this weird habit where if I do something with the left side of my body I'd have to do the same with my right, things like scratching my leg or putting a seatbelt on.

Haha. Bonus points if you can guess why I'm lying.

[papayahed]

I'm going to say #3.

[Scheherazade]

#1 = Because you keep falling off the chairs?

[JuniperWoolf]

I think it was #2... you failed at writing the letter "k."

[Heathcliff]

I think it was #2... you failed at writing the letter "k."
Yea, you win.

I told you that? It was the letter "k", yea.

[JuniperWoolf]

Holy crap, I got it right?!?

Alright, this theme will be "pets and how they died."

1. My mom had a spider monkey when she was a kid that used to perch on the fine china cabinent and throw apples at people. It electrocuted itself by chewing on the tv cord.

2. I had a bird when I was five that flew out of the window in the middle of winter and froze to a telephone wire in the ally behind our house. He was up there for three days until the ravens got him.

3. I had an albino cornsnake when I was seventeen that slithered itself under the dryer and was dehydrated to death. It creeped me out when he went missing, I had to check my shoes every morning before school to make sure that he didn't coil up in them during the night.

[Heathcliff]

2. I had a bird when I was five that flew out of the window in the middle of winter and froze to a telephone wire in the ally behind our house. He was up there for three days until the ravens got him.
Wild guess, it is all so unbelievable. Although I'm hoping on the fact that you weren't five and you were six, or something like that.

[Pendragon]

Well, lemme think.

1. is plausible, since animals tend to chew on electric cords
2. Is feasible, birds will fly towards any opening to escape

I think 3 is the most likely. Snakes are cold-blooded and under the dryer is a warm spot:thumbsup:
