Two Thruths and a Lie

See I figured that #2 would be the most likely, then #1. Unfortunately for me, it is #1. I have never practised witchcraft although I have studied it and acknowledge some of its beliefs. Yes, I was a vegetarian and it was quite fun, and yes I have, sadly (:() never been kissed.

I don’t believe #1. I don’t know why because #2 seems the strangest. But it’s so strange it must be true.

  1. My father is a carpenter, a Capricorn, and son of Joseph.
  2. I was born on the 123rd day of the year, which was 2 weeks late.
  3. My girlfriend was born on the 321st day five years earlier.

I make wedding dresses and other formal wear in my spare time.

I gave birth without the aid of anesthesia less than a year ago and still nurse.

I have changed more than a dozen diapers in the last dozen years.

One ticket in over 30 years of driving does not a leadfoot make, you big poopyhead! :stuck_out_tongue:

  1. I once had a close encouter with a bear while hiking.
  2. I once had to chase giraffes off the runway in order for my plane to land.
  3. I once had a close encouter with a penguin in its native habitat, complete with snow and ice.

Yeah but I’ll bet it was for going 95 mph in a 25 mph school zone while 30 cute little kindergarteners were crossing the street with their grandmothers. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oops, I forgot. Are we gonna fess up here or wait for a new tell all thread? scoob we await your instructions.

Back in high school, I…

  1. Was close friends with the varsity football (American rugby) quarterback, which came in very handy when the JV linemen picked on me.
  2. Was head of the parking permit committee my senior year, and enjoyed the feelings of incredible power that briefly came with the job.
  3. Was in my junior year before I first went on a date.

(The lie has been placed in random order, to ensure fairness. That was a lie. That was a lie. Everything inside these parentheses is a lie, including this statement. That statement was true. What color was the bear?)

Here’s mine:

  1. I’ve memorized pi out to 100 decimals
  2. I earned a black belt in Karate at age 10
  3. I hold 2 different college degrees

I am going to be out of town all day, so I started the confession thread.
I have to know what your lies are. Some of them are hard to guess.

My strategy is to guess the one that seems most plausible, assuming everybody posts their most incredible truths.

Lies! All lies! :smiley:

(BTW, 3.14159265358979323846 is as far as I ever got from memory.)

I ain’t tellin’ 'till somebody guesses mine. >:-D

My paternal grandparents were international smugglers.
My father was Bipolar.
My mother was 18 when she had me.

Okay, my guess is that of your statements:

the lie is #2, but that it’s based on truth (e.g. you were actually born before the due date).

I’m about to “tell all” in the confessional thread…

  1. I legally hold the title of ‘Knight’.
  2. I’ve tasted the flesh of a rattlesnake.
  3. I can recite the titles of every Star Trek episode in chronological order.

Sorry, vunder, my father and only one of my brothers have testified before Congress.

  1. True. And surprisingly, the guts washed out of my clothes. Too bad I didn’t notice what happened until I actually donned said mouse-gutty clothes. It was hideous.

  2. False. Mom and dad met when she was in the typing pool and he was in the mail room. Her folks didn’t like the idea of her dating a musician, so when he was drafted, they moved 1500 miles away. True love prevailed, and they got hitched a couple months after he was sprung. They adored each other til the day mom died.

  3. True. Dillinger had floating card games and my grandfather was a professional gambler (they were dirt-poor during the depression and this is what he did to make money). He’d occasionally deal for him or get into dice games with the bad boys. Gangsters and Chicago…they go together like hot dogs and mustard.

Sorry, cityboy but that statement of mine is true. I like your strategy, but it didn’t work in this case. See the confession thread (soon) for which one is the lie.

I didn’t post mine in the other thread, but I’ll put some here and people can guess which one is the fraud if they like.

  1. I have one published piece of writing to my name.
  2. I sold a painting at an art auction before my 18th birthday.
  3. I have a tattoo on my back.

I’m a little late in the game but here are mine…

1.) When I was a little girl I fell out of a moving vehicle.
2.) Also when I was young I fell down a flight of stairs and broke my wrist.
3.) I have never broken a bone in my life.

Swimming comes to mind…
