Mine’s still open, and I think several have been guessed but the author has not checked back.
ETA: Scnanning the thread again, Omni, JMan, tdn and Tom Scud’s are still without confirmed correct answers.
I’ll guess that you don’t own five garlic sauce packages. (You might have 4 or 6 packages though. :p)
ps: thanks to all who posted in this thread! I had second thoughts about it and almost asked to have it deleted.
My lie was the dirt from Auschwitz. I have three Saddam era Iraqi bills…5, 25 and I think 200 Dinars (I need to check.) The Batman shirt I got in 6th grade and everyone thought it was a fake, but my parents are good friends with one of Michael Keaton’s best friends. My game gear still works, though I haven’t played it in a while. The bugle is pretty cool…plays beautifully, but looks like it’d disintegrate if you touched it.
Actually, you’re half right. That one was true when I posted it, I’ve since used up 2 of them on leftovers. Still 3 left on mine.
Hmmm, this was a good game while it lasted. Where’d everyone go? Anyone else?
I’m going to guess the piece of currency is the one you don’t have.
- A large flute that can double as a walking stick.
- An autographed copy of a novel by a (relatively) famous painter.
- An armillary sphere.
- A DeLorean.
- A DVD boxed set of the live-action series The Flash.
Indeed. I did not hang on to any of the 1 million Turkish lira notes I had.
Five truths, one lie:
- A mild headache
- A 1974 Jethro Tull concert program
- Nasal congestion
- Buffalo wing sauce on my left hand
- A cast iron sausage stuffer
mmm
I’m guessing the wing sauce is the lie.
An author-autographed book in Romanian
A bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln
A computerized toaster
A catcher’s mitt made in 1929
Three Ugandan decorative baskets
Incidentally, I think it’s bogus to make your one lie some technicality. Saying you have a key for a 1976 Ford LTD is a lie because the car is actually a 1975 isn’t really the purpose of the game. There’s no way for the guessers to deduce something like that, it’s essentially the same thing.
For StusBlues I’ll just guess the bust of Honest Abe.
Did you have any to share, Omniscient?
Nope. The computerized toaster. I do not own a toaster of any stripe, which horrifies my dear mother.
I’ll forge ahead:
A vase from a studio called One-Eared Cow Glass
A velvet beret with spangles
A watch whose face, hands, and numbers are all the same color
A Game Boy magnifying-lens attachment
A pink camera
I don’t remember any game boy magnifying lens attachments, and I was pretty into the system. I’ll guess that’s the lie.
StusBlues was incorrect in guessing #4. Anyone else wanna try?
I guess the pink camera. On a hunch that I cannot explain.
mmm
Both wrong. I do not own a beret.
another one to keep the game going!
A rejection letter from community college admissions department
A wind-up alarm clock
A cell phone case with a custom graphic
Pre-ww2 currency
Reggie Jackson’s autograph, in which he mis-spelled the word “to”
I’m going with “cell phone case with custom graphic.”
ETA: Bah, and providing another 5 of my own:
An HP LaserJet IIISi printer (google it before deciding)
Two styrofoam wig heads
An earthenware mug bought at a Ren Faire in 1989
Two power supplies, one of which may not work
A bicentennial-themed throw rug
I agree on the cell phone case, and humbly request details about the rejection letter.
I forgot that I posted in this thread!
You are correct, but I know someone who has such a bird house. The skull was ordered from a medical supply shop, and I was using it one year when I was learning to draw faces.
