Post 2 true and 1 false thing about yourself

Nope, that one’s true. It also cost her the hearing in one ear.

The rest of the world should be so lucky. It was the final season and is best forgotten.

Nope. That is absolutely true. I was first tested in second grade because my teacher thought I was “different.”

Filming before a live audience was the beginning of the end for that show. The writing got worse and worse (even when you didn’t think it could) - when Ron Howard left the show was effectively dead; they just kept milking the cash cow for whatever they could.

Two rock ‘n’ roll truths, one rock ‘n’ roll lie:

[ol]
[li]My name is on the poster (along with 9,999 other fans) that came with Rundgren’s “Todd” album[/li][li]I have conducted two interviews with Pete Townshend[/li][li]I bought some weed from Napoleon Brock, ex-sax player for Frank Zappa[/li][/ol]

I’m gonna say number two is the lie.

Number one is just SO vague and generic (10,000 fans’ names and you aren’t one of them?) that it seems like you put it in there for that very purpose.
Number three sounds very random and specific to me and rings of truth.

So that leaves number two. My guess is you actually had one interview IRL, and just tacked on an extra one here for your lie.

Those are my answers. But I haven’t been right yet. :slight_smile:

  1. I painted my penis green at Burning Man and later found a postcard applicable to the circumstances
  2. I once ate a taco made of a leaf as the shell and dirt as the meat
  3. I was named after the EMT who helped my Mom after a car accident she was involved in while pregnant with me

Your record remains intact! :stuck_out_tongue:

I go with #1 being false. It’s an easy lie to tell. I haven’t seen the poster, so I don’t know if the names are even readable, but even if they are, most people wouldn’t have the patience to read through all of them to check up on it.

whoops. wrong post.

:frowning:

No guesses? Oh I forgot to mention on #3 that I also walked out with Jay as he was leaving and he showed me the sports car he drove to work in.

What’s wrong with my post? :slight_smile:

Yep, you got it–I hardly knew who Todd Rundgren was until one of my coworkers brought in the poster – and a magnifying glass – to brag about HIS name (Mike DeAngelis, if you’re curious) being on it.

They all sound like lies to me.:slight_smile:

I’ll say #2, only because it’s the most detailed, as if you were using that to throw us off.

Haven’t seen any guesses for this one yet - too many English sports involved, perhaps? :slight_smile:

A trio from the beginning of the 1970s:

  1. My closest friend in high school used to get calls from Watergate conspirator Howard Hunt, or someone in his employ.
  2. I burned my draft card.
  3. I was almost part of the mass round-ups of protesters at the D.C. May Day 1971 protests.

Don’t think anyone has done this one yet.

I’m gonna guess #3 for the lie, just because if either 1 or 2 is true (and one of them has to be), there’s no good reason to think the other one isn’t. There’s no reason you *couldn’t *be lying about one of those, but there’s no way for someone who doesn’t know you to say, “hey, that just seems unlikely because of ___.”

And even if 1 or 2 is the lie, I’d have to know you pretty well to make the choice between 1 and 2 any more than a coin toss. So I’m going with 3.

Besides, 3 is the sort of statement where two out of three things said there could be true, but not the third.

That is it. Hard to tell if those are extraordinary events, or maybe every third person in the British Empire has done that.

Hmm, could have been me. The first one is vague, easily could have happened, easy lie to tell also, could have just been your friend lying, but that wouldn’t count if you believed it to be true. The second one is vague too. Draft card burning wasn’t that big in the 70s, but you could have done it at any time just for fun. The third one is also vague. ‘Almost’ part of a mass round-up? The only way it’s totally false is if you were part of the round up, and then you’d use that as a true thing, so this one has to be true. So it’s a toss up between 1 and 2. I’m going with 2. I’ll bet you didn’t burn it at the time, and maybe even have it put away somewhere like I do.

Sorry, wrong. Everything in #3 is true (The opossum and the deer were when I was volunteering at a wild animal rescue place when I was 16. The cat we were trying to get used to people. It didn’t work. The cat injured me more than the other critters, but he was small enough that I didn’t need stitches.)

#1 - I did draw artwork for the comic, but it was replaced with art by a professional before publication. I’m in the credits though. (it’s called Gridiron and it’s about the Packers. I think it had a very short run and I don’t know if he got the rest of it published)

I really did want #3 to be related to the other two, but I couldn’t think of something. I don’t think I’m very good at this.
