    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.

    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.

    I am going to guess that 2 is false.

    Oh, um, anyone can take my turn, since my life hasn't been amazing in the least. I mean I met some amazing people, but it wouldn't make a good 'two truths one lie'.

    Yipes. I'm gonna take a stab at it and say #2. Only because #1 seems pretty specific and out of the other two Caroline Kennedy does that thing with the people (huh? I don't even know what I mean )so that may be possible..

    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.

    And wouln't you know I'd figure right, and then pick the wrong one, when I said I could see no reason for her to be in Belfast? Such comes for thinking the two correct ones will have a connection....

    My maiden name is Smithee. I've had people ask if I related and I always tell them that he's a cousin. If they are silly enough to believe.......

    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)

    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.

    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.
