Let's play 2 Lies and a Truth!

In case anybody cares, the correct answer to mine was 2.

  1. I’ve had sex in my car. We drove off to a place where most people in town have sex (hope people can parse that properly) and figured we might as well add our names to the list. Didn’t get in any trouble:)

  2. I ran track my senior year of high school, after doing baseball the previous three years (track and baseball are in the same season) and got MIP (Most Improved Player) for my improvements in the long and triple jump and my willingness to do anything the coach needed (in terms of running, jumping or throwing. Not that).

  3. My Uncle Hugh is a priest and has already said he’s willing to marry fizzy and me.

  4. I’ve had sex on webcam.

  5. I attended a grade school my grandparents founded for three weeks, then got expelled for starting too many fights.

  6. I tried to kill myself in high school by tying a rope to a tree branch and falling off said tree. Branch broke, dean of discipline came and saw to it that I was okay and I saw the school shrink for a time. Nobody else in that school ever found out.

Two truths, four lies.

  1. I was a C-average student in high school but scored a 1460 on the SAT.

  2. I took a college-level spanish course when I was 11.

  3. In a fit of adolescent rage, I got in my father’s 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite and drove it into a tree, damaging it beyond repair.

  1. False, I was a B-average student who got 730 math, 540 verbal on the SAT, for a composite of 1270.

  2. True, it was actually the prof’s idea. He was a friend of my father’s and thought I was some sort of child prodigy. He might’ve wanted to prove that an 11 year old would work harder than a lot of the college-aged kids, but I got an A in the class.

  3. False, my dad still owns the Austin-Healey and I’ve driven it, but haven’t but a scratch on it.

So, basically, you’re just bragging that you once had sex. :dubious: :wink:

2 and 4 are my truths, FWIW.

Here are mine:

  1. When she was 7 months pregnant with our third child, as a “nice day out” kind of thing I brought my wife to meet the president.

  2. The summer after graduating high school, a few friends and I took a road trip to hit all 48 of the continental states. We couldn’t decide which was worse: Iowa or Kansas.

  3. A friends cousin bet me $20 that I wouldn’t swim across an alligator-infested swamp. I did. She didn’t pay up. Bitch.

  1. Last night I went home from work went home, had a few beers and went to bed,

  2. Last night I went out to a club and totally failed to pull in spite of it being the easiest place in the world to pull.

  3. Last night I went out with my workmates drank ten pints, made an idiot of myself and went home. Now wondering whether I have a job.

2… 'fraid so.

Beelzebubba, I think #3 is true for you. It has that ring-of-truth bitterness to it.

Pun, I’m really glad your last one isn’t true! And, DO you have an uncle who is a priest? That would be so cool, if so and he married you!

Goonhead, I’m also relieved about the Sprite! :slight_smile:

Shadez, good for you for donating blood!

(I don’t know why I’m responding to all these. I love threads like this and finding out interesting tidbits about people.)

Oh and jayseebee, I’m not familiar with the term “pull,” although I think I can guess what it means! :o

  1. I placed fourth in the 1998 Uppsala Open Reversi tournament, in Solna.

  2. To impress a female, I memorized all the best picture, best actress and best actor Oscar winners up to the year 2001, and can still recall them. (She wasn’t too impressed)

  3. I once held my breath for five minutes.

Only number two is true. (I held my breath for 4:25 but couldn’t hold out to five).

  1. I once met Mickey Mantle. He said to me, “I like your shirt.” (I was wearing a Yankees jersey at the time)

  2. I once met Brad Pitt. He said I reminded him of his character in “Snatch”.

  3. I once met Eddie Vedder. He didn’t say much.

#1 is true

  1. I got fired from a battered women’s shelter for having an affair with a woman there who wanted to spite her husband.

  2. I wrecked my car within 2 hours of getting my driver’s license.

3)When I was born, my feet were upside down and backwards, but the doctors fixed it with several surgeries.

3 is true. 1 and 2 are false. I don’t even have my driver’s license yet.

Ellen, said uncle was in seminary and got kicked out for reasons unapparent to me (in the sense that the “official” word is secret but I have a pretty flarking good idea why). None of my relatives, that I know of at least, is ordained in any sense. And I have no real desire to have a wedding be officiated by any clergyperson:)

All right, confession time.

#1 is false. Thanks mostly to blind luck, I’ve never set anything on fire that was not meant to be on fire.

#2 is false. Sadly, I could’ve used a much lower number (say, one) and still have been lying.

#3 is true.

Actually, 3 happened to my brother (that poor sod is always catching the short end of the stick).

Two is false entirely

During the US Air Force 50th anniversary, Clinton came over to give a happy birthday speech. As it turned out, on seeing the 7 month pregnant woman, he came over and they had a 5-10 minute conversation.
