Edwardina, MissTake, & drewbert each got two of mine right.

My truths:

  1. When I taught preschool, one of the parents was convinced I was a lesbian, even though I was engaged to another (male) teacher at the school.
    True Yeah. Like I said before, I was part of a Rocky Horror cast. We marched in the local Gay & Lesbian Film Festival Parade (full costume, etc.) I heard this tiny voice calling “Miss Michelle! Miss Michelle!” It was one of my four year old students and his family. I was dressed in a bra and slip (as Janet Weiss), so I was fairly embarrassed. But the worst part was that the kid’s mom wouldn’t let me explain; she just kept saying she “understands” and “doesn’t need to know.”

  2. People are constantly telling me that they wished they were as outgoing and outspoken as I am.
    False Actually, please are constantly telling me not much of anything; if I am forced to be in public I tend to stand off to the side projecting my best Don’t Notice Me shield.

  3. I am married to a former rodeo bullrider.
    True My husband rode bulls in various rodeos when he was younger, though he never made his dream of riding in the Houston Rodeo. He did win a scholarship to A&M (another dream of his), but he hurt himself too badly to go.

  4. I can drink my husband under the table.
    False Ha! I never touch the stuff. Of course, I suppose you could take that statement in another way, which would make it true, but way TMI. :wink:

  5. I spent most of one spring break hanging out with a houseful of people who were repeatedly dropping acid, and I had no clue.
    True I am a truly clueless person. I even SAW them doing it and didn’t know what it was. Didn’t even suspect drugs. I knew my friend was into that sort of thing, but I guess she knew me well enough to let me be clueless.

  6. My brothers used to sneak into a local tv station, and once they got Marvin Zindler (have you ever heard the phrase “Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime In the Ice Machine!”?) to come to their school for show and tell.
    False My brothers did sneak into Channel 13 a lot, and they did meet Mr. Zindler. But it was the weatherman who made an appearance at their school.

71

Cessandra - True: 2, 4, 5.

MissTake - True: 3, 4, 6.

Edwardina - True: 1, 4, 6.

Now mine:

  1. I speak Polish fluently.

  2. I enjoy music, and have a large collection that I listen to almost non-stop.

  3. I was promoted from the fourth grade to the sixth grade.

  4. I worked in a bakery for several years, and really hate cooking.

  5. I once flew off the trunk of a car going 30 mph and suffered no harm other than a bruised hip and elbow.

  6. I make my own pottery, and sell some pieces to a few friends.

72

Okay, I skipped Drewbert. :smack:

So. . . my stabs at Drewbert’s “half-truths”:

True: 2, 4, 5.

73

Revelation time:

1) I’ve had dinner with G. Gordon Liddy and Carl Bernstein (albeit not at the same time).
True – as part of the same organization in which I met Kurt Vonnegut. Bernstein was a seedy lech. Liddy had a frightening charisma, but a good sense of humor.

2) I played viola in my high school orchestra, and can still play (although I’m in desperate need of some practice).
False, but substitute “cello” for “viola” and it would be true.

3) I’ve earned two Blue Peter badges.
True. I like to mention this because it annoys British people. :wink:

4) My mother emigrated to the US from Romania when she was nine, in the aftermath of WWII.
Another “False but almost true” – she emigrated from Hungary, not Romania.

5) Like Ginger, I have eaten whale blubber. Unlike Ginger, I can’t say I liked it very much.
False. I’ve never eaten whale blubber.

**6) Like Crunchy Frog, I broke a tooth skateboarding when I was ten. **
Strange but true.

Lessee…that’s two correct for JayLa and one for Cessandra.

And I’m seriously hoping that there’s only one true statement in gatopescado’s list, and it’s not any of the ones involving hookers, homeless people or deserts.

74

1) I used to write for a sketch comedy show on tv
TRUE, but it was for a college student television show

2) I own three hyper dogs and a ferret who ought to feel very nervous, but strangely isn’t.
FALSE. Just me and a cat.

3) I used to work for a combination copy shop, tanning salon, and balloon delivery service
TRUE. Fortunately I never had to deliver balloons personally… but wiping down used tanning beds the week before Spring Break? The horror.

4) I never use salad dressing
TRUE.

5) I love mushrooms
FALSE. Very very false.

6) I once met Michael Stipe.
FALSE, but I once saw a guy walking down Franklin Street in Chapel Hill who looked a little like Peter Buck. Probably wasn’t him.

75

Consider me annoyed. I’ve only got one.

So tell me: how did you do that? How long have you been in the UK? Are you still a child?

76

Hee hee.

I’ve been in the UK for seven years now, and am 35. As mentioned earlier in this thread, I sing with the BBC Symphony Chorus. The Blue Peter people always ask for volunteers from the chorus to be on the Christmas show every year – this involves a lot of sitting around, followed by standing outside (often in the rain and cold) for an hour, and then marching in at the end of the show singing whatever carol they’ve chosen. For this rather unexciting day at Television Centre, we each get a free lunch and a blue Blue Peter badge. I’ve only done it twice; I know of one member who has acquired 19 badges this way!

I’ve also sat on the Blue Peter couch (yeehah) and have patted the dogs. It wasn’t a lifechanging event, but it made for a change from routine.

77

4 out of 6 for Cessandra, 2 out of 6 for drewbert. Gotcha both on the cheese and the ferrets!

  1. I have met one of the men who invented the ENIAC. True. The American Computing Museum has a dinner every year honoring computing pioneers, and he was there the first year.

  2. My least favorite food is cheese. True. I get a lot of disbelief and grief for this in RL also.

  3. I’ve visited 17 countries. False. Both got this correct. I’ve been to about a dozen though.

  4. When I was in grad school, Steven Seagal filmed a movie at my university and used my office for a scene. False (but close) - it was my husband’s office, not mine. The movie was The Patriot and they used it for the hospital scene in the underground bunker. It went straight to video in the U.S.

  5. I’ve played Call of Cthulu with Steve Jackson (of Steve Jackson Games). True. His company doesn’t make CofC, but he still plays it at cons. He’s a nice guy.

  6. I have three ferrets for pets. False but close - only two.

I’ll guess at the ones that are still open, but I don’t have anything new for you.

False. It was James Galway in the Green Room of the Guthrie. I did meet Jean Pierre Rampal though.
3. I once threw a yard jart into my foot, sticking it all the way through and pinning it to the ground.
True. I have a scar on both the top and the bottom of my foot from the stitches.
4. I have met our former Guv, Jesse Ventura, numerous times.
True. I used to hang out at his gym in Minneapolis and he lived a few blocks away from me. He really is a nice guy.
5. As a punker in high school, I dyed my hair green.
False. I did have something that resembled a curly mohawk though.
6. I am a professional needleworker (cross stitch, hardanger)
True. People buy the pattern, fabric, floss and I complete the projects for them.

Dang, Jessica! You got them all! Do I know you?
