In this thread we told two truths and a lie. Since I am going to be gone all day, I decided to start the lie thread.
My two truths and lie were:
The lie is # 3. I hate fishing. I will not do it.
vunderbob, I am a youngin’.
My truths and a lie:
The lie is #3. While I am part of the **Swampy ** fan club, he just ain’t my type. I’m saving my crushes for MissTee, LVgeogeek, Bittersweet, and FCM.
MissTee, of course you’re a youngin’. I simply had the idea that you were 28 or 29. And, since you hate fishing, it looks like that romantic wilderness getaway I had planned for us is off. 
So what am I, vunderbob, chopped liver?

2 is the falsehood – I’m the youngest of three. (C’mon, could anyone who names herself “twickster” be anything but a youngest child?)
#3: I was on a local kids’ show, Gene London, twice as a wee twickster; on a local show at FSU as a Jonestown expert (!); and was a three-time (four-appearance) “Jeopardy!” champion.
I have a fan! WOOHOO!!! It’s the beard isn’t it? Would you love me if I shaved?
My truths and a lie:
I have been married for 25 years
I have brown eyes
I live in a community called “Redbone”
The lie is #1. For a lot of folks that’s no big surprise. The fact is I happen to be gayer than a debutante on holiday in Paris.
My eyes are a beautiful come hither brown and I really do live in a community called “Redbone”. It says so right there on the fire station.
So I should pencil you in for that romantic wilderness getaway?
Mine were:
#2 is true. I started taking classes in Moo Duk Kwan Tang Soo Do karate at 7 and made my 1st Dan at 10.
#3 is the lie. I only have one college degree… and for the time being, I have no plans on wasting more money for a 2nd degree… at least not at the university I used to go to.
Well, if “wilderness” means sleeping on the ground, no showers – I’m with FCM on the desirablity of that. IM me. I’m sure we can work something out.
Mine were:
I used to be a phone psychic.
I was once thrown out of the Washington Monument.
My middle name is Theda.
True. I don’t recommend it.
Also true. They don’t take well to screaming in the tippy-top part of the monument.
False. My middle name is Leigh, Theda Bara was a crossword clue yesterday. 
Mine were -
1)I am studying law at uni.
2)I have no middle name.
3)I am bi.
Number 1 is the lie. I am actually studying journalism.
#2 is a lie. My Father was a pro boxer, I never had a lesson.
As for #3… my Great-Grandfather was an immigrant from Sweden. He told us that his Great Grandmother had given birth to his Grandfather out of wedlock, & claimed that one of the Alven–i.e. an elf or Fairy, was the Daddy. As this was the 1700’s, they believed her, or at least didn’t call her out on it. As I would never suggest that my Great-Grandfather was a liar, I am part Elf.
I said:
And the answer is… :drumroll:
#1 was the lie. I have never practised Witchcraft although I have researched and have developed some similar beliefs.
1. I once prevented a Marrocon guy being lynched by a group of skinheads.
2. I once prevented a German Shepherd dog being hit - with a metal leash- by his body-builder type owner.
3. I once prevented a little baby girl being hit by her junkie mother.
My lie: 3. I once prevented a little baby girl being hit by her junkie mother.
I never saw a junkie mother hit, or abuse her child.
#1 was at the Leidse square in A’dam. For unknown [to me] reasons, the group of skinheads [about 12] were ready to kill the Maroccon guy. I just stood in front of him and yelled: “Don’t. Cut it out”. Amazingly they stopped long enough for the guy to jump on the nearest tram. They left me alone. [The Maroccon guy never thanked me. heh.]
#2 was right in front of my door. The owner of the dog was huge and bloody mad at me for telling him to quit spanking his dog. He yelled some obsceneties at me, rattled the chain in front of my face, but stopped hitting the poor mutt. [the dog would probably get smacked again at home, though]
**Note: Both of the times I was scared shitless. ** I’m not all that brave, nor all that muscled and a woman.
My twe truths and a lie were:
So – you engaged in said activity, and just weren’t arrested for it?
My two truths
1- I refuse to look out the window at night in case someone is looking back at me.
2- I walked a mile and a half wearing only a t-shirt and panties.
My lie
3- My ex-boyfriend broke up with me because I ran over his foot.
I had already broken up with the ex and it was my friend who ran over his foot. All feet are safe when I am behind the wheel.
I’d posted:
Truth: In the 18 years that I’ve owned a car, I’ve had three Corollas - '81, '86 and '89. I’m still driving the '89, bless its little rebuilt tranny.
Truth: On my last visit to India, we were going back to Delhi after a long and eventful day trip to the Taj Mahal (yes, on Dec. 31 - the only time I could go) when we stopped for some snacks at a roadside joint. “Santa” came strolling up the road from God knows where, fully decked out in red suit trimmed with white fur. He was absolutely delighted to see a Western gal hanging out with the desis and treated us to an impromptu song and dance. (Btw, I had no idea Santa was Punjabi. ) “So strange it must be true” is exactly right, nocturnal_tick.
Lie: I sometimes think I must be the only female in the U.S. who never found any of the Kennedy men to be especially attractive. I frankly didn’t care one whit when he got hitched, although I knew people who were practically in mourning.
Boy, my track record in figuring you folks out is terrible, and here I thought I was a good judge of people’s truthfulness. Must be the lack of visual cues. Yeah, that’s it.
Yes. But to be fair, I never threw cans of beer directly at any person or persons. Rather, I would throw the beer so that the cans would land in front of people (chiefly members of rival fraternities), rupture, and hopefully cause a beer shower to be inflicted upon them. Strangely enough, the rival fraternity guys didn’t seem to mind too much…
Tho swampy nailed it in the other thread:
I never won a lotto jackpot. Although I have hit for 3 numbers a couple of times.
I did, in fact, get a speeding ticket once. I was contrite and the cop wrote it up so my fine was only $78. I happened to mention it to a friend who is a legal secretary, and she got her boss to have it ruled non-adjucated, or some such. I paid the fine, but my record is clean. No points or any of that stuff. It was 4 years ago - I’ve been more or less good since then.
I was never a girl scout. I don’t recall ever wanting to be a scout, although I know it’d never happen - there were too many of us kids for our folks to afford fancy-pants activities like that. But they did manage to afford accordion lessons for me… 
And I posted:
#3 is the lie. I really don’t care much for midgets at all.
I studied music under the tutelage of Leonard Slatkin of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra:
False. I did, however study under a man named Bob Swain, who was the First Violinist for the St. Louis Symphony.
I used to sing lead vocals in a rock band:
True. We were even on television once. Some local PBS show which I can’t remember, but it was still fun. There is lots of static electricity in a television studio under those hot lights!
I have recorded an album:
Also true. Although it wasn’t with the band, but with my 6th grade choral club.
And gum, BRAVA to you! It’s always nice to hear about people out there who will stick up for others in need of assistance. Good job.
