They weren’t fat; they were big boned!
OK. Deal me in.
- I can pick up peanuts with chopsticks
- I have amber eyes
- A stalker once sent me sexy pictures? of her daughter
- I have never lost money at roulette
And a guess: faithfool does not have freaky finger toe.
But I might just bet on a tail.
Waverly, for some reason I read what you wrote as; “I can pick up peanuts with [my] amber eyes” and I was gonna be duly impressed. However, since I’m aiming for the falsehood here, I’ll pick #2 anyway and wager that they are another color.
About my freaky toe, it IS too true (and kinda cute, in a bizarro way)! 
The tail though, I’ll never say. One has to have bought me dinner and taken me to a good movie first before I’ll even come close. In other words, NO Ben Affleck!
faithfool, I’ll go with #3: * I live in a Barney purple house with bright pink, yellow and red shutters/trim. I LOVE anything that seems to echo South American decor. *?
Waverly #4. * I have never lost money at roulette* ?
some of mine:
-
I once fell on my male cat which made him scratch my face from eyebrow to chin.
-
I once fell of my bike while taking a turn too fast, thereby losing my hat in the near bushes.
-
I once fell flat on my face during the coffee-break in the posh opera house with the two cups of coffee I was carrying, flying here and there.
-
I once fell when a bench, on which I was sitting, eating a cheeseburger, collapsed. Which made me land on said cheeseburger.
You nailed it gum. I clashed too much, didn’t I? Yup, I’m a little more understated. I like my beaded curtains, lava lamps and plush carpet to all be in monochramatic tons of earth. 
Lessee about yours… I’d definitely have to say that you must be a trip. And out of all that excitement, I’ll pick #1 because the others at least gave me a chuckle, so therefore I want them to be partially true, if nothing else. That first one though, too mundane, I’m sure your life is WAY more exciting than that. What with cheeseburgers, hats and the opera.
How’d I do?
Draw back the Veil of Mystery and identify the lie!
- Although I am now a card-carrying New Democrat, I once voted Liberal.
- I was born exactly 15 years after the Montreal metro was inaugurated.
- I own a complete set of Dykes to Watch Out For comic collections, including two that were personally autographed to me by Alison Bechdel.
- My parents have both worked in Iqaluit, Nunavut, but at different times.
hehehehe 
faithfool, I’m so relieved I got your lie. “Barney purple house with bright pink, yellow and red shutters/trim.”? hehehehe.
And, yes. You did fine. I am a klutz. The opera house was about the most embarrasing thing happening to me, though. The cheeseburger thing caught some attention too ::sigh:: And I loved my lost hat. 
My male cat scratched me many a time, but all in jest.
So, are you next? Or am I?
matt_mcl, I’ll go with: #2) I was born exactly 15 years after the Montreal metro was inaugurated. I’m guessing it was 15 years and one day?
-
I can’t pronounce the word ‘Everything’
-
I can’t cuss in Indonesian
-
I can’t see the difference between a tit* and a finch
-
I can’t stand people touching my navel
*The bird, I mean.
gum, I’m not sure who is up to bat next, but since you’ve already gone and matt is playing now too, I suppose I’ll just jump on these and offer up my most recent picks.
For matt I’ll choose #1 because the others are far too cool not to have happened to someone so debonaire. For you, this time I’ll go with #2. I believe you can. And if so, can you teach me some of the good profanity?
One question about #3 though… is that one bird wearing a sun shield, like Janet? Or is it more modest?
gum, I’m gonna go with #4.
matt, I’m going to guess #2.
Okay, my list:
#1. I’ve travelled across the United States twice on my own: once on the Greyhound bus, and once on the Amtrack train.
#2. I have two dogs.
#3. I am a big fan of film composer Jerry Goldsmith.
#4. I collect and read Harlequin romances in Spanish.
- I can pick up peanuts with chopsticks True. I dunno. I thought it was cool.
- I have amber eyes False, but I had amber eyes for about a week, and asked about it in GQ. I was trying to be sneaky.
- A stalker once sent me sexy pictures? of her daughter True. Had to abandon the email address
- I have never lost money at roulette True. Any yes, I’ve played. But only a couple times.
I think faithfool got it. yosemite, my first instinct was Goldsmith, but I did some research you, and I’m going with the Spanish romances.
A couple more:
gum, who apparently spends a lot of time increasing entropy, can’t tell a tit from a navel… or something like that.
matt_mcl never voted liberal.
- I build my own furniture
- I can’t get enough V-8 spicy vegetable juice
- I’ve had two separate one night stands in the same night
- I’ve driven a motorcycle from San Diego to San Francisco on the Pacific Coast Highway

For those who may still be wondering (or even those who aren’t):
My lie was #4.
Oh shit, what the hell . . .
- I own a ‘family’ of firearms.
- I’ve lived in New Jersey, Arizona, North Dakota, and Montana in the past five years.
- I’m so paranoid about timekeeping, I make sure all the clocks in my apartment are all synchronized.
- I’m a Devil worshipper.
- I’m actually an extra in Star Wars, Episode II
Tripler
There ya go. I even included one extra. . .
I’m gonna get out of the audience and get back in the game.
Tripler, you do not worship the Devil. Maybe the New Jersey Devils, but not the Devil Devil, as in the master of the e-vil. Waverly, this isn’t Penthouse Forum, so I’m going to assert that you did not have two one night stands in one night.
Now, to reassert my list:
[ol][li]I voted for Bill Clinton once.[/li][li]I only have 9 fingers due to a kitchen accident.[/li][li]I’ve never eaten turkey, pork or veal.[/li]My children are named after dead people.[/ol]
No, good guess (because Spanish Harlequins are more than a little bizarre ;)) but the fact is, I am not a dog person.
TeaElle, I think I’ll go for the 9 fingers one.
Waverly, I’m going to go with #2, the V-8 one.
