Not all of your guesses were right, HerMajestyLorna, but you came close…

Oh yeah.

94

Hopefully another person will respond soon so you can give us your answers. (and I can give mine, of course) :smiley:

95

FWIW, it’s nice to see this thread still going, albeit at a snail’s pace.

96

I seem to have brought it to a screeching halt, jr8 (she said, vainly bumping the thread two days later…) :slight_smile:

97

Ellen Cherry true: 1, 2, 4

**

True. I was a terrible student in high school, just awful. I don’t really know why.

**

False. I’ve never been to Vegas and never gambled more than the slots, and didn’t have the sense to quit when I was ahead on those.

**

True, although “hideous” is, of course, a bit over the top. My best friend and the guitar player of my band in college was an art major in college, and I got a number of large tattoos from him. This made me quite the eccentric in law school.

**

False. Just the two. I understand Donnie has an extra, though. Write him if you’re missing one.

**

False. Although “forcicform” is an adjective meaning scissor shaped (and is on the Scripps-Howard spelling bee list), I never missed it in the Scripps-Howard or any other spelling bee.

True. I once did both at the same time. Okay, not really.

98

Oops, I thought this thread wasn’t coming back…

Well, Pravnik and Ellen Cherry both got (the same) two right, not bad :slight_smile:

  1. Despite having stage fright, I once auditioned for an improv comedy group.
    True. I didn’t get in, nor did I expect to, but it provided a nice distraction in an otherwise angst-filled college day. But you don’t want to hear about that…

  2. One of my aspirations is to tend bar in a place like Coyote Ugly
    False. I don’t usually drink, and couldn’t make someone else a drink to save my life.

  3. My mother has yet to memorize my birthdate.
    True. Her excuse is that because my birthday is the day after my dad’s she can’t keep them straight, but my baby brother figured it out by the time he was nine or ten, so it still makes me sad. Dad is older, and his birthday is first, how hard is that to remember?

  4. Some of my dreams have been described in a book about dreams.
    True. The book is called " The 12" Baby That Fried an Omlet and other crazy dreams" by Richard Cadway.

  5. I play guitar in a band called Beer is Not a Sex Crime.
    False. Unfortunately I have no musical talent. Therefore, Beer is Not a Sex Crime remains only a band that some of my story characters play in. The name comes from something said in a SD thread, btw.

  6. My family cooks moose on special occasions, like memorial day.
    False. None of the 10,000+ moose in this state is likely to find its way into our kitchen. Game is one of the meat groups I don’t eat from.
