Two Thruths and a Lie

Here I go.

1.I trained to be a US Marine.

2.I lost my virginity to a married woman

3.I own a Hemi truck.

Good luck.

nocturnal_tick, I’ll say #3 is the lie.
Here’s mine:

  1. Every car I’ve ever owned has been a Toyota Corolla.
  2. I saw someone dressed as Santa Claus walking along the road on New Year’s Eve in India.
  3. I cried the day I heard that JFK Jr. was getting married.

I know the answer! Is it cheating if I respond? :smiley:

I just hope that’s a lie. Jarts rocked!

Alias , jarts were giant darts played on a field. They were sort of like horseshoes, but with more drama and much pointier.

I’m pretty sure family members are disqualified – but if you want to email the answer to me, that would be fine. :wink:

  1. I have gotten in four auto accidents in the last two years.
  2. I was homeschooled until high school.
  3. I’ll soon be moving from Mississippi to Malibu.
  1. I made $42,000 in a commercial.
  2. I was once an Delivery room nurse.
  3. I have 3 cats and one husband.
  1. I have 2 girlfriends
  2. George W. Bush was caught insulting a reporter in my hometown
  3. I’m drifting my way through high school, yet I’m somehow ranked #42 in a class of 750
  1. …(obviously they haven’t met)
  2. …(I currently live in that town)
  3. …(that looks about good)
  1. I once prevented a Marrocon guy being lynched by a group of skinheads.
  2. I once prevented a German Shepherd dog being hit - with a metal leash- by his body-builder type owner.
  3. I once prevented a little baby girl being hit by her junkie mother.
  1. I helped my car commit suicide by telephone pole about a year ago and yet didn’t get a ticket
  2. When I was a little kid, I had an imaginary friend named nobody, so if someone asked who I was talking to, I’d just say, “Nobody.”
  3. I had surgery for the first time when I was ten months old.
    -Lil

I studied music under the tutelage of Leonard Slatkin of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra

I used to sing lead vocals in a rock band

I have recorded an album

  1. I have eaten almost 100 tarantulas since 1998.
  2. I can hold my breath for four and a half minutes.
  3. I have seen Cecil Adams and can describe him. (Yes, the Straight Dope’s Cecil Adams. No it’s not Ed Zotti)

Lord I hope this is the lie but I suspect it’s number 3.

Why would you eat a tarantula? And if you simply like the taste of them, why do you count how many you’ve eaten? And where do you get them? And do you eat the entire thing? Have you ever bitten down on a fang?

And…and…and…and…

  1. My senior year of high school I caught one of my teachers gathering information about another teacher at my school in an attempt to get him fired. I made notes on what I read and the day I graduated, I went to the teacher that was about to be nailed and told them everything.

  2. I was briefly married during my senior year of high school. It was annulled about a month after graduation. My closest friends at the time didn’t even know about it and only a handful of my family members (including DH) know about it now.

  3. One of my parents is a convicted felon, has a rap sheet a mile long and has been in and out of prison a gazillion times.

  1. Everyone knows alllll about my weird-ass family, but I never mention that a cousin on my mother’s side is or was at the University of Hawaii on a baseball scholarship. He’s got the look for it, but not quite the patience or mind to play pro ball (beside which, UoH ain’t entirely known for its athletics).

  2. When we first got the kittens, we thought they were both female (cat genitalia, as matt_mcl told me later that day, is very very small, so it’s not like we were ignoring the “HEY, LOOK! PENIS!” sign). We had to change Duchess’s name to Mischief. We found out at the vet after we’d gotten them checked out, so their first bill had them listed as female (I’m not sure if that’s been amended yet, but they don’t seem to have cared).

  3. My mother met my father on a college trip to France when her school choir was doing a concert tour; my father was on vacation with his family at his mother’s house in Normandy (which house I’ve detailed before) and happened to see her one day at mass. They spent much of that trip together and were married three years later at his college chapel.

Assuming the tarantula one is true (and I’m not saying that it is):

Why would you eat a tarantula?
Don’t knock ‘till you try it.

And if you simply like the taste of them, why do you count how many you’ve eaten?
“Almost 100” is just an estimate.

And where do you get them?
There’s a store in Berkeley called “The Bone Room” that sell live tarantula. There’s also “Critter Fritters” in San Francisco that will order them for you.

And do you eat the entire thing?
Just the legs and abdomen. (Note, I use them as an ingredient, not a main course)

Have you ever bitten down on a fang?
I don’t eat the head.

cisco, that’s one way to ferret out the lie…hmmm. Two to go.

Soooo, Baraqiyal, why would anyone hold their breath? And at what point when holding one’s breath does one get all light-headed and daffy? And where’s the best place to hold your breath? And do you hold anything else? Have you ever bitten your tongue?

Why…why…why???

Cinnamon Girl, my last post means nothing. It could be I’m just elaborating on a lie, but I won’t say until the appropriate time.

Suurrrre, ya are, baraqiyal, suuurrre! I believe you… :dubious:
