Let's play a game (and at the same time learn interesting things about each other)

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

2 truths and a lie.

That is what you must put in your post in here.

It’s up to the other members to guess which one is the lie.
Try to make your two truths as outlandish as possible…so when you do reveal if people are right or wrong, we can go “NO WAY! THAT’S TRUE?”

The three things MUST be about yourself…not anyone else. It has to be a story or fact about you, however it can be as long as you like and have as many details as you want to share (or make up in the case of the one false one).

For me:

  1. I once killed a dog and ate it to survive (I was going through starvation and had no choice. It was him or me)

  2. My Stepmom for 4 years was my ex-girlfriend (thankfully BEFORE she became my stepmom, not after).

  3. I was once invited to smoke pot, oogle at Playboy, and given a large collection of porn mags, tapes and other sexual stuffs by my own mother.

2

Okay, here’s mine:

  1. I got drunk with members of Metallica and ZZ Top.
  2. I had sex with a girl and her mom… At the same time.
  3. I used to write for pornographic magazines.
3

  1. I had a nose job to make my large nose look larger.

  2. I once killed a cat by putting his head under a manhole cover grate and then jumped on the grate.

  3. I have a small tattoo on my middle finger that says “yes, you!”

4

I’d guess number three for John _Stamos’_Left_Ear, and number one for Seven.

For me:
1.) I once lit a friend’s lawn mower on fire

2.) I once lit a glove that I was wearing on fire

3.) I once lit an entire driveway on fire

5

I reckon that’s a filthy filthy lie.

Okay… let’s see.

  1. I’ve never drunk coffee, or tea, ever.
  2. I wear size seventeen shoes.
  3. An item that was on display at the Melbourne Museum a few years ago had my teeth marks in it.
6

I reckon this one’s the dirty lie.
For my part:

  1. I generally do not sleep on Mondays and Thursdays.
  2. When I was born, I had two pupils in one eye.
  3. My typing speed has been measured at 90 wpm.

Regallag_The_Axe, I don’t think you would go near a friend’s lawn mower!

  1. Katharine Hepburn once wrote to me.

  2. I have a six-toed cat descended from one of Hemingway’s Key-West cats.

  3. I had a fear of flying that lasted thirty-one years and then went away.

  1. Alasdair Grey, the famous Scottish author, once prostrated himself at my feet.

  2. When I was in third grade, I was forbidden to read books for a month.

  3. I was insulted by Jacques Derrida in a bar once.

10

  1. I first played trumpet in a concert within a month of picking up the instrument for the first time.

  2. I have masturbated dogs of both sexes (not at the same time! What kind of pervert do you think I am?).

  3. I learned colloquial Malay from my amah in Singapore forty years ago.

11

When do we do the big reveal? Should we wait for a certain amount of guesses?

picunurse, I call you out on no. 3. Malacandra, also no. 3.

12

I decline to either confirm or deny any of the three assertions that I made, although I admit that I struggle to remember more than peringitan, “Reminder” (on speed limit signs), or Badak, “rhinoceros” (interestingly, a brand of torch battery on general sale at the time) these days.

13

Well, I had a hard time coming up with great ones like you guys, but here goes -

  1. I once held a baby that had six toes on each foot and six fingers on each hand.
  2. William Goldman once wrote to me.
  3. I once read Gone With The Wind - 1200+ pages - overnight.
14

picunurse, 3; Anaamika, 2.

  1. I went undefeated in the first varsity debate tournament I ever attended.
  2. At age 17, while attending a Youth Leadership conference in Washington D.C., I walked by a protest outside of the Supreme Court…so I stepped up on the protestors’ stage and made a quick speech to the cheers of the crowd.
  3. While in Basic Military Training, I challenged a point of philosophy made by a Maj. General, to his face, in front of my TIs…and he conceded.

Any way you go, you know that off-boards, I’m an argumentative little bugger. :smiley:

15

I forgot, I was supposed to pick out lies:

Malacandra, I also say 3.

picunurse, 1. I bet it wasn’t a hotel window.

roland, 2.

16

(Mine are pretty tame by some people’s standards, but here we go.)

  1. I was attacked by a grizzly bear and lived to tell about it (obviously.)

  2. I performed CPR on a pig…and the heart compressions were internal.

  3. I was threatened in Rome by a con man with a knife, but told him off and walked away.

17

Sure, I follow a hard one like that…Roland, I’d say # 2.

  1. I skipped every lecture, and every lab in my freshman year 200 level Advanced Trig class, walked into the final, which the Prof had given us the option of selecting as 100% of our grade, and got a 97 with only about 8 hours of moderate cramming the night before.

  2. One year prior to getting married, I had a month-long affair with a well known, married local TV news anchor.

  3. I once saw a homeless man less than 50 feet away from me get hit and torn apart on the railroad tracks by a freight train.

18

Oh, I think everyone else’s lies have been guessed (of course, they could all be wrong) but I have strong feelings that #2 from picunurse is false. because I know for a FACT that the only thignthat has ever been on my TV is a DVD player or VCR. :stuck_out_tongue:

19

I wanna know what it says about us or our perception of **Malacandra ** that everyone thinks he has masturbated dogs of both sexes (but not at the same time!)

  1. Due to a recent thread on the Dope about tartans, I learned something new about Irish tartans I wasn’t aware of before. My Google-fu turned up some missing information on my family’s tartan, which I handed off to my mother, who is very interested in our genealogy, and has, in the past, befriended a genealogist who helps her put this stuff together. With this new information, and old information we had that was vague, it is now confirmed: I am a descendent of a rather notorius lady pirate. Yarr, I actually have real pirate blood in me veins!

  2. I once ate a 40oz steak in under an hour and 15 minutes, along with a trip to the salad bar, a baked potato, a piece of Texas toast, to become a member of a Beefeaters Club. I got a medallion for it. I promptly went home and got incredibly sick, and the sight or smell of beef made me nauseous for years, causing me to choose to be a vegetarian for many years. The medallion could have been turned in for a prime quarter dinner, but I couldn’t handle it, and gave it to my father, instead.

  3. I’ve been writing computer programs since I was four years old. Granted, they are often simple and largely useless programs, but there you have it.
