    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.

    I feel as though I may have shocked this thread into a state 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.
    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wild guess.
