    Papayahed wins! I am also a big fan of HP Lovecraft!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Alllll Riiiigghhhhttttt!!!

    OK, let me see...

    1. I have been to several star wars conventions but I've never worn a costume.

    2. I'm afraid of heights. At an industrial building I went up in a manlift to the roof (about 40 ft) got on the roof then couldn't make myself step back on the manlift so I had to get down by the inside emergency access ladders.

    3. I was kicked out of a bar for fighting but was let back in after the girl I was fighting with was kicked out.

    Number#3. I wonder why did you stay there after being kicked out.

    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?

    Comedian is correct but for the wrong reason - I've never been to a convention!!!

    I was waiting for my friends. (It wasn't much of a fight either. Some crazy chick was hitting on a guy from our group. A girl from our group turned to say something to the guy and crazy chick jumped on her. Another girl and I kinda jumped in the middle (the other chick was way bigger and meaner looking then our friend) which turned into a knot of girls pulling each others hair until security showed up)

    Yeah!

    Okay, here goes: two statements are true and one is a lie. Pick the lie.

    Theme: former jobs

    1. I used to install residential sewer systems. It was a crappy job, but I learned a lot about plumbing.

    2. I once got paid to be a hair model at a local cosmetology exposition. My stylist asked me to help her out because I had "nice hair for a boy". And, yes, I do have lovely locks. *checks the mirror*

    3. I used to work as a gardener and lackey for a former graduate school professor of mine. Yes, I was a total suck up. Yes, I got a good letter of recommendation.

    My guess is: #3 is the lie.

    I pick number 1 because it's punny. (It'd be even punny if it were actually number 2)

    I guess I'll pick #2, since it is the only one left.

    That was a good strategy cgrillo because you guessed it. I've never been paid to model my hair, but I have installed sewer systems and was a lackey for my professor.

    papaya -- you're totally right, I should have moved number one to number two.

    So cgrillo, it's your turn!

    Oh, right, I forgot I guessed on this one.

    1. I do, in fact, know how to ride a bike.

    2. I've never broken a bone in my body.

    3. I hate celebrating my birthday.

    Possible...
