Spot the Truth

[Scheherazade]

We know we are awesome when it comes to spotting a lie ("2 Truths and a Lie" thread) but how good are we when it comes to spotting a truth.

Post 4 lies and one truth for others to guess.

First one is on the house:

The "classics" I have read:

1. War and Peace

2. As I Lay Dying

3. Moby Dick

4. The Ambassadors

5. The Road

[cgrillo]

If I understand this game, than it is true that you have not read Moby Dick. I think you said that on some Moby Dick discussion somewhere. I think.

A band that I can recite almost every lyric of every song; I have used their songs many times in the Song Title Game -

1. The Who
2. The Smiths
3. The Screaming Blue Messiahs
4. Pink Floyd
5. The Jimi Hendrix Experience

[papayahed]

I think The Smiths?

[cgrillo]

I think The Smiths?

Yes. :)

[papayahed]

okedoke

One of my favorite movies:

1. Pride and Prejudice
2. Bridget Jones Diary's
3. Sleepless in Seattle
4. The King and I
5. The Way We Were

[Scheherazade]

"The Way We Were"?

[papayahed]

Nope.

[Pendragon]

#3 Sleepless in Seattle

[Scheherazade]

2. Bridget Jones' Diary?

[papayahed]

#3 Sleepless in Seattle

No.


2. Bridget Jones' Diary?

and No.

[Scheherazade]

The King and I?

[papayahed]

Yes!!

[Scheherazade]

It took us only 4 guesses! :goof:

Ooookkaaayyy...

My favorite ice-cream flavour:

- Mint

- Lemon

- Strawberry

- Vanilla

- Mango

[Pendragon]

Strawberry

[Scheherazade]

Nope!

[The Comedian]

Vanilla

[Scheherazade]

VanillaYes!




_________________

[The Comedian]

Yes!

Yay! To make my answer, I just thought: "Now what kind of ice-cream would Clark Kent like the best?". . .Ah, yes, vanilla.

Alright here goes mine: three lies, one truth:

I've used a quotation from which of the following authors as my signature?:

1. Ralph Waldo Emerson

2. Ovid

3. J. O'Barr

4. Grant Morrison

[BienvenuJDC]

I'm going to guess...J. O'Barr

[The Comedian]

I'm going to guess...J. O'Barr

Good guessin' Bien! J. O'Barr was the creator of the The Crow (a great early '80s Indie comic [and, yes, a stupid movie]) and the line I used is this: "This isn't hell. But you can see it from here".

You're up!

[BienvenuJDC]

When I was in High School Marching Band, I played the:

- Snare Drum
- Steelpan Drum
- Trumpet
- Baritone Saxophone
- Field Commander

[The Comedian]

Steelpan Drum

[Pendragon]

Baritone Saxophone

[BienvenuJDC]

Both are incorrect....


Steelpan Drum

However, that would have been cool if we had those in our band...

[papayahed]

Field Commander

[BienvenuJDC]

No, but you are narrowing it down...

[Pendragon]

Well if I say "trumpet" and am still wrong, I guess Bein will have to give us a new list!

[BienvenuJDC]

You are correct....

[Pendragon]

I have

1) Never published poetry
2) A dog named "Izzy"
3) Two children
4) No memory of my dad
5) Never been drunk in my life

[BienvenuJDC]

5) Never been drunk in my life

[papayahed]

I'm going with #4

[Madhuri]

4) No memory of my dad


It could be #1 also...I remember that your writings have been published, but not sure if it was stories or poems.

[Pendragon]

No to #5 and #4

[papayahed]

#3? I know you have kids but I'm not sure how many.

[Pendragon]

No to #3, I have three kids. The choice is now 50-50!

[Madhuri]

#1 is my guess...

[Pendragon]

I have

1) Never published poetry
2) A dog named "Izzy"
3) Two children
4) No memory of my dad
5) Never been drunk in my life

Well the answer was #2, My dog is called Izzy which is short for Isabelle.

I have published over 100 poems. I have three children, not two. I reconciled with my dad 5 years before his death. We all have been wild, rebellious teenagers and I've not only been drunk but stoned on drugs.


Now let's see.

I have read:
1) Atlas Shrugged
2) Watership Down
3) Pride and Prejudice
4) Cannery Row
5) On Golden Pond

Good luck and remember, four of them are lies, really and truly

[papayahed]

3) Pride and Prejudice

[Scheherazade]

Cannery Row

[Pendragon]

No to 3 and 4. Your chances have now reached 33 1/3%!

[BienvenuJDC]

1. Atlas Shrugged

[The Comedian]

I say two!

[Pendragon]

I say two!

And we have a winner!

It's the wife who loves Atlas Shrugged, I cannot abide Jane Austen, Cannery Row was never required, and I'm not sure On Golden Pond really is a book!

Good luck Comedian, with your own posts!

[The Comedian]

Okay, I have one mounted (stuffed) fish on display in my house (in my little man cave). I caught it when I was 13 years old. What species of fish is it?

1. A sailfish
2. A northern pike
3. A rainbow trout
4. A brook trout

[OrphanPip]

I'm going to guess #4.

[papayahed]

#3

s5cr

[The Comedian]

I'm going to guess #4.

Give OrphanPip a cigar! Good guess. I'm so proud of that fish. And a brook trout (you Canadians may call them Speckled Trout) is a beautiful fish.

[OrphanPip]

OK hmm

I have NOT visited one of the following American cities:

1) Boston
2) NYC
3) Orlando
4) Burlington
5) Buffalo

[DanielBenoit]

Why do you have to be listing all of those damn northeastern/East-coast cities? Why not just make it easier and add Honolulu? I feel safer assuming you've never been their :p

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say NYC, because I've never been there either and yet have lived in New York for six years.

[The Comedian]

I'll say Orlando.

[OrphanPip]

I've been to NYC as a kid, and I accompanied my brother to a conference in Florida, so I've been to Orlando. I'm one of those crazy people who have seen Disney World and never gone in ;).

[papayahed]

Boston

[BienvenuJDC]

Burlington

[Scheherazade]

Buffalo.

[OrphanPip]

Sher got it, I've never been to Buffalo.

Been to Boston for a hockey tournament as a kid, and the last time I went to Burlington was to see the Tragically Hip on their American tour 2 years ago.

[Scheherazade]

The number of countries that will give me passport (if I choose to apply for them):

2, 3, 4, 5 or 6?

[BienvenuJDC]

I'll say 3...

[JuniperWoolf]

6. You're obviously an international super spy, which is why we have never seen a picture and know very little personal information about you.

[The Comedian]

5 -- because JW took 6. *shakes his fist*

[DanielBenoit]

2; Because you were an international super-spy, but are now on the run from the law because you revealed some secret some top-secret information to someone, and now must run before the Russians get you (because they think you're a double-agent) or the FBI (because they think you're a traitor).

(Oh and the reason why you can't visit any other countries comes in when the two world superpowers, U.S. and Russia, demand that the rest of the world closes off its boarders to you. Switzerland refuses, as does a little unknown community outpost on the shores of Antarctica, which is where you are right now.)

[Pendragon]

What the hey, going for broke and saying 4.

[Scheherazade]

The number of countries that will give me passport (if I choose to apply for them):

2, 3, 4, 5 or 6?Only 3.

Legally, that is. Everyone knows that super-spies use fake passports for their super-spy business! :sosp:

Bien's turn.

[BienvenuJDC]

Which three?

Ok, ok.....

1) I have two brothers (one older, one younger)
2) I only have one living grandparent
3) I have two young daughters and an older son that I've only seen three times
4) My older brother is a Firefighter
5) I live on a farm

[Pendragon]

5 Mid Pennsylvania is farm country

[BienvenuJDC]

Although that is true, I have barely enough plot of land to have but a puny vegetable garden.

Sorry, Pen, but that one is not the truth.

[Jesterhead]

number 2 is true.

[humpty dumpty]

number one?

[Pendragon]

Sad though it is, I'm going to say #3

[aliengirl]

4) My older brother is a Firefighter

Is this true?

[BienvenuJDC]

aliengirl, YOU are right.

1) I only have one older brother.
2) All of my grandparents have passed.
3) I only have two young girls.
4) My older brother is a Firefighter.
5) I live in a house on a very small plot of land. We planted five watermelon plants, a short row of corn, two pumpkin mounds, and some sweet potatoes. We plan to plant some tomatoes and carrots, but it's hardly a farm.

[aliengirl]

Aha! Then it's my chance. I don't know how good I am at telling lies or rather camouflaging the truth. Well, let's see... here we go

1) I haven't read much of Shakespeare.
2) I can't swim.
3) I love photography.
4) My favorite flower is daffodil.
5) I am an introvert.

[Pendragon]

Going for #4, no particular reason

[BienvenuJDC]

This will be my guess...
5) I am an introvert.

[aliengirl]

Sorry guys but both of you have missed the truth. Err... I have narrowed down your search now. Hope you get it right this time.

[papayahed]

I'm going with #2

[aliengirl]

Hey guys, this game has stuck up. No more guesses?

[snowdrop17]

This is my guess-
3) I love photography.

[BienvenuJDC]

If I can guess again, I'll guess #2

[aliengirl]

You are right Snowdrop!!

1) Though I haven't read complete works of Shakespeare I have read a lot.
2) I can swim.
3) I love photography. Sadly these days I don't get enough time to visit picturesque places.
4) My favorite flower is rose.
5) I am an ambivert. I have a big friend circle but with people whom I don't know much I become a little introvert.

[snowdrop17]

O.K.
Here are the choices-
1. I like cooking.
2. I love sketching and painting.
3. History is my favorite subject.
4. I like non-fiction works.
5. My favorite time of the day is evening.

[Pendragon]

I dunno, you seem an artsy person. My guess is #2

[snowdrop17]

Yes Pendragon, you are Right!
I love sketching and painting.

[Pendragon]

Books I do not own:

1) Pilgrim's Progress
2) Moby Dick
3) Huckleberry Finn
4) Le Morte de Aurthur
5) The Jungle Books

[Haunted]

The Jungle Books?

[BienvenuJDC]

4) Le Morte de Aurthur

[Jazz_]

#1 Pilgrim's Progress?

[aliengirl]

2) Moby Dick ...though it is highly unlikely that you don't have it.

[Pendragon]

4) Le Morte de Aurthur

You have it, Bein. I do have Sidney Lainer's King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table, though! (Sorry, I was on vacation last week.)

[Scheherazade]

Since Bien has not been around for a while, I will jump start the game:

I have not read:

1. Jane Eyre

2. Moby Dick

3. Crime and Punishment

4. Middlesex

5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

[Pendragon]

#3 is my choice

[Scheherazade]

No, I have read Crime and Punishment.

[dafydd manton]

I don't know why, but I can't see you as a Harry Potter fan, so number 5

[Scheherazade]

Yeah, I am nothing but a pleb... Read the first Potter books and enjoyed them for what they are as well.

[The Comedian]

I say it's Moby Dick

[Jazz_]

I'll say Jane Eyre...

[Scheherazade]

I say it's Moby DickYes, I have been trying to prepare myself psychologically to read this book for the past 30 years!

[dafydd manton]

OK, at risk of looking like a big-head, here we go.

I have 32 different translations of the bible.

I am a past stock-car champion

I've been married three times.

I have passed 25 driving tests

I once had a moustache that you could see from behind.

[The Comedian]

number 5 (last statement) is true.


Yes, I have been trying to prepare myself psychologically to read this book for the past 30 years!

It takes a lot to adequately prepare for awesome. . . ;)

[dafydd manton]

number 5 (last statement) is true.

Curse you, Moriarty, you have found me out!

All right, confession time, too much wine, I got my wires crossed and posted 4 truths and a lie, not the other way around. I'd suggest ignoring all the afore-going, although plaudits to The Comedian!!

[Scheherazade]

It takes a lot to adequately prepare for awesome. . . ;)Especially for a pleb like me!
I'd suggest ignoring all the afore-going, although plaudits to The Comedian!!It was The Comedian's turn, anyway, to post a puzzle as he correctly guessed my "truth".

[The Comedian]

Okay spot the truth -- there are four statements below -- three are lies; one is true.

Theme: At the office

1. At work I sometimes wear headphones, but don't play any music or anything through them, just to keep people bothering me with their requests for "help".

2. I have a mini-model of the Millenium Falcon, clearly displayed, on my desk.

3. I keep a very messy office: papers scattered about, pens & pencils here and there. . .

4. I have a framed picture of Hilary Clinton just above my file drawers.

[Scheherazade]

4. I have a framed picture of Hilary Clinton just above my file drawers.:D

Now I have to go with #4, don't I?

[dafydd manton]

Especially for a pleb like me!It was The Comedian's turn, anyway, to post a puzzle as he correctly guessed my "truth".

Oops - I do believe I have been admonished! Hangs head, scuffs toe of right shoe behind left heel on floor, squirms. :nono:

A simple misunderstanding! :thumbs_up

[papayahed]

#2 be because that's the one I'd pick.

[Pendragon]

I'll go with three, because in #2 is true, it follows that it could hardly be "clearly displayed" on a messy desk...

[The Comedian]

I'll go with three, because in #2 is true, it follows that it could hardly be "clearly displayed" on a messy desk...

Sleuthing that The Spirit would be proud of Pen -- you are correct!

[Pendragon]

Speaking of which...

1) I have the entire Doc Savage paperback collection in Bantam editions
2) I own the Spirit movie, and two volumes of the collected Spirit daily comic strips
3) I own the complete Solomon Kane collection
4) I have the whole Shadow collection, in original pulps
5. I cannot stand Star Trek the Next Generation, I'm a die hard Kirk, Spock, McCoy fan

4 are lies, only one is true

[Pensive]

Speaking of which...

1) I have the entire Doc Savage paperback collection in Bantam editions
2) I own the Spirit movie, and two volumes of the collected Spirit daily comic strips
3) I own the complete Solomon Kane collection
4) I have the whole Shadow collection, in original pulps
5. I cannot stand Star Trek the Next Generation, I'm a die hard Kirk, Spock, McCoy fan

4 are lies, only one is true

2 is the truth?

[JuniperWoolf]

I'll take 5.

[Jazz_]

I'll go with #1...

[papayahed]

#4 The whole collection?

[Pendragon]

2 is the truth?

A lie. The movie sucked, and the books are too expensive

[Pendragon]

I'll take 5.

A lie. I love Picard, Riker, and Data as well

[Pendragon]

I'll go with #1...

A lie. I'm missing three double volumes by Bantam, but I have the novels in other reprint editions.

[Pendragon]

#4 The whole collection?
A lie. My whole collection is on PDF files and in paperback reprints.

So, I guess I win, as nobody picked #3, the one truth in the whole mess

[Pendragon]

Hummmm...

1) I read very little outside of American Lit
2) I never have read Lord Jim
3) I prefer Sci-Fi to mysteries
4) I read a lot of Ann Rand
5) I think that Don Quixote is too damn long to read

In the end there can be only one truth...

[Pendragon]

Hey, anyone gonna try and guess?

[qimissung]

I pick 5.

[Pendragon]

I pick 5.
Sorry, I have read it at least three times...

[JuniperWoolf]

I'll take 3.

[Jazz_]

I'll say #2

[Pendragon]

I'll take 3.
A lie. Pretty much the opposite

[Pendragon]

I'll say #2

And we have a winner! This is unfortunately true, I never got around to reading it at all... :yikes:

[Jazz_]

Yay - my turn :D

1) I have 3 large boxes of Sci-fi novels in my bedroom
2) I am currently re-reading Sense & Sensibility
3) One of my uni subjects is "15th Century War, Plague and Heresy"
4) There is a lab coat hanging in my cupboard
5) Physics was my favourite subject last semester

[Pendragon]

You know, I'll take three, it's just weird enough to be true

[Jazz_]

Nope sorry - I have one called "Medieval Plague, War and Heresy" ;)

It focuses on 14th Century Europe - pretty interesting so far :D

[JuniperWoolf]

4. You may be a science student.

[The Comedian]

2 has to be the the truth.

[Jazz_]

4. You may be a science student.

I am a Science student :D

1) I have 2 large boxes of Sci-fi novels in my bedroom (about 200 novels :nod:)
2) I was re-reading Emma when I posted this
3) One of my uni subjects is "Medieval Plague, War and Heresy"
4) There is a lab coat hanging in my cupboard
5) Physics was my least favourite subject last semester

[Pendragon]

Go, JunieWolf! Your turn!

[JuniperWoolf]

Whoo! Okay...

1. I am afraid of parrots, because they fly at your head. I am afraid of basketballs for the same reason.

2. I never wear skirts, because I walk in the woods a lot and don't want bugs to bite me in unfortunate places.

3. When I was in the provincial tae kwon do tournament, I won at my belt level but couldn't go to nationals because my mom didn't want me to take the time off school.

4. I love sweets, and if it were up to me I would live on nothing but cookies and chocolate bars.

5. When I was in grade ten, I made a fashion statement by hanging disfigured Barbie doll heads on shoelace nooses from the metal loops of my bondage belt. Just so you can get a visual, here's a bondage belt:
http://www.crustpunks.com/images/bondagebelt.jpg

[The Comedian]

Sounds to me like number 5 is the truth.

[JuniperWoolf]

Sounds to me like number 5 is the truth.

Nope, this sadistic Barbie doll accessory was actually an invention of my mother's when she was a teenager. It was good for me, because every time she nagged at me for drawing leaves and vines all up my legs in gel-pen or tying dozens of raven feathers in my bright blue hair I could always respond with "well, at least I don't have a bunch of tortured human heads around my waist."

[Pendragon]

I'm going to say 3 for no apparent reason

[JuniperWoolf]

I'm going to say 3 for no apparent reason

Nope. I was in the provincials, but I got my butt kicked by this little dark haired girl in the second round.

[tainaprincess]

I would have to say that #1 is the truth.

[Jazz_]

I'll say #4 - you like sweets, but couldn't live on just them...

[JuniperWoolf]

I would have to say that #1 is the truth.

You got it. Parrots scare the bejezus out of me. I also can't be in a gym full of people playing with basketballs.


I'll say #4 - you like sweets, but couldn't live on just them...

I actually just straight-up hate sweets. I like maybe one bite of chocolate, and then anything after that makes me feel sick.

as for #3, it is a concern but I'm not too worried.

[Jazz_]

Just realised I thought it was a lie - but this is "Spot the Truth" :crazy:

[tainaprincess]

I actually got it because I had a seagull come at my head once, and figured it would probably be the same with a parrot. I've also been hit on the head with a basketball, so I'm not too fond of them either.

Here go my 4 lies and 1 truth:

1. I teach high school biology.
2. My favorite hobby is gardening.
3. I've never travelled out of the state.
4. I used to play the piano and basketball with frequency when I was younger.
5. I'm a neat freak.

[qimissung]

I pick number 4

[Scheherazade]

I'll say #1 because I want that one to be true. It'd be nice to have a highschool biology teacher on the Forum :D

[Pendragon]

I'll go with five.

[tainaprincess]

I pick number 4

You are correct. I am a high school teacher, but not biology. I teach math and English. As for being a neat freak, I can be, but not as a general rule.

[qimissung]

I picked the right one-cool! All right, here are my four lies and one truth:

1. I love kyaking.
2. I am fluent in Spanish.
3. I once had an out-of-body experience.
4. Emily Bronte is one of my favorite authors.
5. I once had a day named after me.

[Jazz_]

I'll have to say #5 - just because it's crazy enough to be true ;)

[Scheherazade]

#2 maybe?

[Pendragon]

I'll go with 3, it is far from impossible

[tainaprincess]

I say, #1 - it sounds like a fun and exhilarating hobby.

[qimissung]

I'll go with 3, it is far from impossible

Pendragon is correct. I was a teenager and what I really wanted was to go back in time. I thought if I sat very, very still and concentrated, maybe with the force of my mind I could make it happen. After sitting still for a very long while I realized that I was looking, from a place near the ceiling, at myself sitting in the chair. The sensation only lasted for a short time and I have not tried to replicate it, but neither have I forgotten it.

I only wish I was fluent in Spanish. I can read a fair amount of elementary Spanish, however. And I can curse in it if necessary. :D

I do not kayak. I do go on long, leisurely walks, however.

I have never had a day named after me, but my mother did. She was the curator of a historical mansion in our town and did it for a number of years. When she retired they had a day in her honor.

I like Emily Bronte, but she's not a favorite.

[Pendragon]

Oh boy, lessee...

1) I am a bit of a neat-freak
2) I love liver and onions
3) I am reading Pride and Prejudice at the moment
4) I cannot stand the insipidities of comic books
5) My home has white aluminum siding

[qimissung]

I pick #2.

[Jazz_]

I'll say #5

[Pendragon]

I pick #2.

This is oddly the truth! Qimi wins!

[qimissung]

Liver and onions, yum!

1. I used to own a Triumph Spitfire.
2. I used to own a guinea pig.
3. I love three-way chili.
4. I am nearly six feet tall.
5. i have a degree in English.

[Pendragon]

#3:thumbsup::out::thumbsup:

[Jazz_]

I'll say #1 :D

[qimissung]

Pendragon! Again! How did you know? And Jazz, thank you. :)

[Pendragon]

1) My wife collects ceramic mice, as her school nickname was mouse
2) My school nickname was Dragon Lord
3) Our school mascot was a whirlwind as we were called The Scarlett Hurricanes
4) My favorite class in school was Math
5) My high school was the smallest in our county, later absorbed into a consolidated school

Good luck, one truth and four lies... :ihih:

[Jazz_]

I'll say #1 ;)

[Pendragon]

I'll say #1 ;)

Yep! That is true! You go, Jazz!

My school nickname was "Wildcat"
We were the Scarlet Hurricanes but the mascot was a goat
I absolutely hate Math, English Composition was my favorite class
My High School was and is the largest in the county

[Jazz_]

Ceramic mice... interesting ;)
I didn't think you were crazy enough to like Maths :D

1) I won $10 from a scratchie yesterday
2) My brother turns 21 tomorrow
3) My school nickname was JazzyFizzle
4) My high school logo was a curtain-fig tree
5) I love my new passport photo

[Pendragon]

I'll go with 4, I don't think anyone would call #5 true, after all Erma Bombeck wrote that "when you look like your passport photo, it's time to go home"!

[Jazz_]

I'll go with 4, I don't think anyone would call #5 true, after all Erma Bombeck wrote that "when you look like your passport photo, it's time to go home"!

http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/laughing/rofl.gif (http://www.sherv.net/laughing-emoticon-155.html) - it's pretty hideous... so you're right - #5 is false

It's not #4 though ;)

[Pendragon]

Um, perhaps #2?

[aliengirl]

Is it #3?

[Jazz_]

It is #3 :D

[ReadingElmo]

1. I'm allergic to grass.
2. I'm reading The Great Gatsby.
3. I have a cat.
4. I like to swim.
5. I smoke.

[mrv]

My guess is 2

[Jazz_]

I'll say #1

[Pendragon]

Number 5, if true, is very foolish!

[Jazz_]

Number 5, if true, is very foolish!

:nod:

[ReadingElmo]

Nope, not guessed yet; not 1, 2, or 5.

[AdoreroDio]

I'll go with number 3.

[Jazz_]

#4, since it's the only one left :)

[ReadingElmo]

Yes, #4! I do like to swim, it is my favorite form of exercise!

[Pendragon]

You're on deck, Jazz! Batter up!

[Jazz_]

Yay - my turn again :D

#1 - My friend Geordie Fung is holding a "Fungraiser" (fundraiser) tonight
#2 - I have a Chemistry test on Wednesday
#3 - My favourite colour is purple
#4 - My favourite football team lost yesterday
#5 - I love ice-cream and hate yoghurt

[Pendragon]

I say number 3

[AdoreroDio]

I'm going for number 2

[Jazz_]

Nope, sorry - it's not #2 or 3

I have a Biology test on Wednesday, and my favourite colour is red :D

[Scheherazade]

Number 5?

[Jazz_]

Nope - I love both ice-cream and yoghurt :D

[Pendragon]

So let's have door #1. If I'm wrong, you win!

[Jazz_]

So let's have door #1. If I'm wrong, you win!

I win :D

My friend did hold a "fungraiser" but it wasn't on the night I posted...

The answer is the only option left - so I suppose the next person to post gets it ;)

[Pendragon]

Nay, Jazz, you are up again, as no one hit the mark.

[Jazz_]

Really? Let's see if I can fool you guys again ;)

1) Today I reduced benzoin to produce meso-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-diphenylethane
2) I am having a Hep A & B immunity test today
3) Although red is my favourite colour, I hate pink
4) There are 15 postcards from Paris on my wall
5) I have my tea white with 2 sugars

[Pendragon]

Three

[Jazz_]

Nope, I'm fine with pink :p

[Skia]

I think 5? ...

[Jazz_]

It is not 5, sorry. I never have sugar in my tea :)

[Pendragon]

4, perhaps

[Jazz_]

Nope, sorry.

I do have about 15 postcards on my wall - but from Japan, Italy, Vietnam, various parts of Australia as well as Paris ;)

[Pendragon]

Between 1 and 2, I will say one, and if not you win again!

[Jazz_]

Between 1 and 2, I will say one, and if not you win again!

I win again? :D

I did reduce benzoin - but it was the day before I posted.
I am planning a trip to Vietnam - so I went for a Hep A & B immunity test ;)

Let's see if I can trick you again:
1) I received a packet of rude novelty biscuits for my birthday
2) The babysitting I was going to do on Saturday was cancelled because the mother got chickenpox
3) My favourite TV show is House
4) I have a dog and 3 cats
5) I have a licence plate from Chicago which says "Jazz"

[Pendragon]

#1 is just crazy enough to be true

[Jazz_]

#1 is just crazy enough to be true

:lol: Nope, sorry. I did receive some rude pasta though...

[Pendragon]

Well since I seem to be the only one playing (ahem) we'll guess without reviewing the answers, #3

[L.M. The Third]

I'll guess #5

[Jazz_]

I'll guess #5

#5 is true :D

[L.M. The Third]

So it's my turn, eh?

1. I once had a pet cow.
2. I can count in Chinese.
3. I have never been to school a day in my life.
4. I have a Face-book account.
5. I have an aunt who is friends with a Yukon cave man.

[Jazz_]

I'll say #3 - since it is the most unlikely :p

[Pendragon]

#4 Who doesn't? :iagree:

[L.M. The Third]

I'll say #3 - since it is the most unlikely :p

Yes. I guess it's absurdity gave it away. :lol:

[Jazz_]

Really? Wow - I always go for the craziest one :p

1) I watched South Park at the Uni library earlier today
2) I have a subscription to 4 different papers
3) I have to wake up at 5am tomorrow
4) I should be writing an essay right now, but I'm on LitNet instead
5) My favourite TV show is Law and Order

[mrv]

I'll say 2

[Pendragon]

I'll go with four

[Jazz_]

Nope, not #2 or #4 ;)

I only have one newspaper subscription and I don't need to write an essay...

[AdoreroDio]

I'll go with #1

[Jazz_]

#1 it is :D

[AdoreroDio]

1) My brother's first name is James.
2) I currently reside in California
3)I'm watching television while I'm writing this
4) I broke my wrist on my 12th birthday.
5) I'm allergic to peanuts

[mrv]

Going first isn't a good idea but I'll make a guess anyway. Um...4

[AdoreroDio]

Wow...that was quick. You are right, I did break my wrist on my 12th birthday.

[mrv]

I wasn't expecting it would be correct.:p It's unfortunate to have something like that happen to you and on your birthday.

It's hard making up lies- and four of them! Okay, I'll try.

1. I am an atheist.
2. I like vampire stories.
3. My favorite book is 'Alice in Wonderland'.
4. I love cats.
5. I believe in total non-violence.

[L.M. The Third]

I'll guess #1.

[Pendragon]

I'll take #2

[Pensive]

I will go with 5.

[mrv]

I'll guess #1.

:yikes: You have to be psychic. How did you know?



I'll take #2
I hate vampire stories.


I will go with 5.
:hand: not me :D

[L.M. The Third]

:yikes: You have to be psychic. How did you know?

It didn't seem like something someone would lie about. But do atheists believe in psychics?

Oh dear. I'm feeling boring. At least lying can be fantastical.

1. I have only been in a movie threatre once for five minutes.
2. I'm allergic to orange juice.
3. I'm a soprano and have broken crystal.
4. I'm dressing up as Stephen Harper (Canadian Prime Minister) for Halloween.
5. I oppose the swatting of flies.

[mrv]

It didn't seem like something someone would lie about. But do atheists believe in psychics?

It's just a game and you have to tell the truth eventually. I could have lied about it. :yesnod:
I can only speak for myself. I don't believe in psychics. It was only a pose. I do that sometimes.:D

My guess is 1

Of course I knew you didn't mean it seriously. I'd just been curious lately what atheists believe on such things, so had the opportunity to ask here.

And your guess is correct.

[mrv]

Wow, I'm again right! I'm getting good at spotting the truth.
I'm not too good with cooking up lies. I'll pass my turn if anyone else wants to have a go. If no one else does, I'll post some more lies next time.;)

[AdoreroDio]

I'd love to try and do better if you don't mind... my first one was terribly too easy...

1) I have two dogs and love them so much I created facebook pages for them
2) The books I currently have on my desk are a book of poems by Emerson, the Bible, Flowers for Algernon and Empress
3) I have a tattoo of a dove holding an olive branch on my shoulder
4) I'm a afraid of jumping (forwards, across, down, up, high, low)
5) My mom has dual citizenship because my grandparents were on vacation in England when she was born.

[Jazz_]

I'll say #5 - sounds pretty crazy :D

[Pendragon]

I'm gonna go with #3, tattoos are so popular these days

[AdoreroDio]

It's neither three nor five. Both were inspired actually by my roommate...though rather than a dove it is a sparrow on her shoulder. :] (I'm afraid of needles...no tattoos for me)

Keep guessing :]

[mrv]

I'll go with 2.

[Jazz_]

Maybe #1?

[AdoreroDio]

2 is not correct, I have all but Empress on my desk.
1 isn't correct, I have two dogs whom I love but I only made a facebook page for one of them not both (His name is Jake E. Poodles if you want to look him up lol)


That leaves number four as the truth. It is my weakness...a phobia I have always had, it paralyzes me. Since no one guessed it what does that mean?

[Jazz_]

It means you go again - nice job fooling us all :D

[AdoreroDio]

1) I am in a science class for future secondary education teachers right now.
2) I have in one day ridden 23 roller coasters
3) I am dressing as Athena for Halloween
4) I am wearing a pair of silver heart earrings (they're my favorite :] )
5) I've loved flying in airplanes since my first one when I was 4 but I haven't often had the chance to go on trips so my number of experiences in planes is limited...

[mrv]

I'll say 5.

[AdoreroDio]

Not 5 :) since my first plane ride I have gone on more than 30 plane trips :)

Keep guessing

[Jazz_]

I'll say #3

[AdoreroDio]

Close, I'm dressing as Helen of Troy. :} So not 3 or 5

[Jazz_]

Really - that should be a great costume :D

Ok, let's try #1

[mrv]

So, we can guess more than once for the same set of statements.
There are only two left...lemme see...um...I'll go with 2 this time.

[AdoreroDio]

2 is right, great :] 1 is almost right, I was in a science class for future elementary teachers but 2 is the complete truth. :} I love roller coasters :]]

[Jazz_]

Your turn mrv :D

[mrv]

I won again! :D

AdoreroDio had posted some good ones this time. I don't have anything interesting but for the sake of the game, here goes...

1. I am currently reading Memoirs of a Geisha.
2. I love cartoons.
3. My favorite subject is Chemistry.
4. There is no song or music piece I can like forever.
5. I always use the pictures of flowers for my desktop background.

[AdoreroDio]

I'll go with #4.

[Jazz_]

I'll say #5

[mrv]

AdoreroDio's got it right.

[AdoreroDio]

Really? That's interesting...okay let's see if I can't conjure up some lies...I may be all out of good ones.

1. Today was the first snow of the year but right now it's beautiful and sunny out with clear skies.

2. The only halloween decoration in my room is a witch sitting in our window

3. My favorite movie is Dark Knight.

4. It's my Grandma's birthday this weekend.

5. I broke my headphones last night and plan to get new ones tomorrow.

[Jazz_]

I'll say #1

[AdoreroDio]

Nice! You spotted the truth right out. :]] Your turn.

[AdoreroDio]

I think since it's been a while and Jazz still hasn't responded, if by the end of tomorrow Jazz still hasn't posted some lies and a truth then someone else should go, just so this thread doesn't die. Any takers?

[Jazz_]

Sorry - been very busy and haven't checked back here (about a week till my exams)...

1) My first exam is on Monday November 8th
2) I have an exam for each of my 4 subjects
3) My biology exam goes for 2 hours
4) My chemistry exam is on my birthday
5) My physics exam is on my mum's birthday

[AdoreroDio]

I'm going with number 3

[The Comedian]

I say 5.
