4 Things I own, 1 thing I don't

The Game Room

Wherein players guess the item not owned* by the previous poster. For example, which one of these does not belong to me?

[li]Autographed photo of Ernest Borgnine[/li][li]“Champione de Italia” bicycle[/li][li]Jackalope piggy bank[/li][li]Twin Towers visitor brochure[/li][li]Zwilling JA Henckels Four Star 9-Piece Knife Set w/Block[/li][/ol]
*I’m thinking currently owned, but feel free to interpret it as you will.

I’m thinking the knife set, it seems suspiciously detailed. Is that something from your wish-list, perhaps?

3

I agree with the knife set but I think we’re supposed to add our own.

  1. A four foot wide cut away diagram poster of the Enterprise D
  2. An official signed replica of the Log Lady’s log from Twin Peaks
  3. A micro cassette audio recording of a car accident occurring after a contra dance
  4. A copy of the War of the Worlds TV series bible
  5. A Diego action figure
  6. A ticket for indecent exposure
  7. A turtle shaped cookie cutter
  8. A copy of a published book with a page devoted to myself painted red and green
  • mine is 2 wrong 6 right

Going with the “assume the most mundane or most detailed are legitimate” theory, I’ll say jackdavinci owns neither the Enterprise D poster nor the War of the Worlds bible.

My five (one lie):

  1. Cuban currency from the 1970’s
  2. A badly damaged program from the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893
  3. A copy of the first issue of Playboy
  4. A T-shirt I won for writing a clerihew
  5. A Japanese flag taken as a war trophy by a great-uncle
5

I’ll guess the japanese flag, because I think you’d be more specific about the family member.

Here’s mine, with 1 lie.

  1. Approximately 2,000 “World of Warcraft” card game cards
  2. A framed IRS tax return check for $0.01
  3. Size fifteen rollerblades
  4. A mini poodle/grayhound mix
  5. A chest of drawers with two broken unusable drawers
6
  1. A George Bush bobblehead
  2. A map of Jerusalem from the 1800s
  3. An old stuffed lion filled with sand - circa 1959
  4. An ice cream scoop
  5. A toaster

I guess Size 15 rollerblades. And if that’s true, I’m PMing you my number.

7

I guess the Toaster.

My five:
1: An autographed Batman T-shirt signed by Michael Keaton.
2: A jar of dirt from the ground at Auschwitz.
3: Saddam-era Iraqi dinar bills.
4: A working Sega Game Gear with games.
5: A large bugle that still plays but has been burnt and blackened in a house fire.

Oops, I thought this thread had died on the vine–sorry for not getting with the answer for my OP. I do indeed own the Zwilling JA Henckels Four Star 9-Piece Knife Set w/Block–I picked it as a 25 year service anniversary gift from my employer.

From Mosier’s list, I’m guessing the “framed IRS tax return check for $0.01” is bogus.

The bike is the lie, I think you’d have mentioned a brand here (Bianchi) if it were true.

The lies are the Log book from Twin Peaks because “official signed replica” sounds bizarre to me and the Diego action figure because I haven’t a clue which Diego this might be, again I suspect you’d have been more specific if it were true. Though that logic could work the other way. My fall back guess wold be the cookie cutter just because.

I’m going with the Playboy as the lie. It seems more like a wish list item than something real, everything else seems more personal.

I think the World of Warcraft cards are the lie. Just a guess, maybe you had them and just got rid of them.

The toaster is a lie. It’s far too common to get on the list, therefore it’s a common item you don’t have.

10

It is a Bianchi; a nice royal blue one. :smiley:

4 Truths, 1 Lie

  1. Autographed Michael Jordan Jersey
  2. Bose AE2 Headphones
  3. Five Papa Johns Special Garlic Sauce packages
  4. Egg Sized Chunk of the Berlin Wall
  5. An authentic looking $1,000,000 bill
12

I’m going with the Visitors brochure then. I’m starting to think you posted this entire thread to brag about the Borgnine autograph.

13

Omniscient: I’ll guess, the headphones (you probably have Bose headphones, but not that model).

My four truths, one lie:

  1. An autographed copy of Douglas Adams’s Last Chance to See
  2. A poster for the TV series Duckman autographed by the character’s creator
  3. A copy of Ricky Jay’s Cards as Weapons
  4. Issue #1 (of 1) of “Lisa Comics” (from the publishers of Simpsons Comics)
  5. An entry badge from the first “World Boardgaming Championships” in 1999
14

Yep, I no longer have the Twin Towers visitor brochure–it sold on eBay for $35. (The Borgnine photo is a relic from when I wrote to every TV star I could think of back in the mid-60s)

15

Incorrect, I do indeed have the headphones. They were the one item that I actually was looking at when I made the list and was struggling to come up with a 4th truth.

I think the Doug Adams one is the lie. Perhaps you have a signed Hitchhikers Guide instead.

16

Correct, except that it’s an autographed Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.

17

Is no one going to guess mine?

18

I’ll guess #2: A jar of dirt from the ground at Auschwitz…for 2 reasons. First, I don’t think it would get past customs, and second, if every visitor did that, the place would look like the Grand Canyon.

19

You got it – though I do have many copies of the magazine, including one from the 1950’s (discovered in the basement of my paternal grandparents’ house when Grandma moved out around 1990, some 26 years after the presumed purchaser, her husband, had died).

For Jman, I’ll guess the Iraqi dinar bills, if only because I suspect you were inspired by the Cuban currency I brought back from a two-week “allowed because it was educational” trip I took to the island as a college freshman in 1978.

20

That’s correct. I actually do own a pair of size 15 rollerblades, I suspect much to the delight of CitizenPained.

From Jman’s list, I’ll guess the working Sega Gamegear, only because of the “working” qualifier.
