False. This did happen to a friend of mine. He was part of a crowd of spectators as she walked by and she stopped and talked with their little group. He said the best part was that she (deliberately) snubbed the one guy who thought he was the only one that knew the proper way to address the Queen.
Kinda True. I happened to be in the little town of Metaline, WA, while he was filming “The Postman”. It was lunchtime. I had lunch. He had lunch. Not at the same place. My wife says that doesn’t count. I say it does.
True. Oh yeah, this is something someone would lie about. I conducted a lot of church services, including a few funerals, married a few folks, counseled a lot of people, generally had a great experience. Now I’m the local supervisor for the seminary program. “Seminary”, in Mormonese, is religious education for high school students.
As I’ve said before I’m more than happy to answer any questions about Mormon doctrine and practices but unwilling to debate their merits in this forum.
So maybe my entry was one truth, one lie and one half-truth.

John Corrado: AWB: Your office doesn’t overlook the White House.
[list=1][li]Actually, it does, by a stretch of the definition.[/li]
My office view is from the Old Executive Building east to the US Capitol. I can see the White House from about 2 miles away, and I’m on the 13th floor. So technically I do overlook it.
[li]False. But my brother-in-law did buy one early and was tempted to sell it for several hundred dollars. But he kept it for his little girl. (awwwww…)[/li]
[li]True. For two seasons (IIRC) he was in the Coors Pro Tour in Colorado. He raced the first heats of events, but never qualified. It was impossible to get sponsorship for a 3rd year after such a record, so he dropped it.[/list=1][/li]

I had lunch with two of the Soul Coughing guys when I was working for an alt-rock radio station. I did some promotional stuff for the station, so I had come in contact with a number of rock stars, and they are by far my favorite. They walked in with a ton of food, and proceeded to invite us all to eat with them on-air. We then had a discussion on how sexy the drummer’s Israeli accent was.
My sister has a slew of stories you wouldn’t believe. (I’m not sure I believe all of them…) She was working for a screenwriter, whose son is a minor character actor. Her boss asked her to drop the son and “a couple friends” off at a party, it was on her way, so my sister agreed. She pulled the car up to the front of the house, and Leo and Sara Gilbert get in the back. This was post-Gilbert Grape, pre-Titanic. Anyw00, Leoanardo Dicaprio was not in my car, but was in my sister’s.
As posted in the “What’s the strangest thing that has happened to you this year,” thread, Kennedy called me sassy at Woodstock. And she KNOWS sassy.
Wow, I leave this thread for a couple of days and it explodes with posts. For anyone still reading this far, I guess I’ll throw out my next 3 and see if people guess mine any better.
Mullinator has spent about an hour debating the NBA’s illegal defense with Kevin Costner.
Mullinator restricted his dating to cheerleaders due to his status as high school big man on campus.

Have you voted for your favorite, huggable Mullinator today?
• OpalCat has been kissed on the cheek by Steve Case FALSE …but I have shaken his hand.
• OpalCat has danced topless for one of her former high school teachers. TRUE …he was my Health teacher from high school… I got to embarrass him by dedicating a song to him on stage and having the DJ say “This one goes out to Mr Easterday, who taught her everything she knows bout Sex Education” hahah! He was there with about 8 of his friends too
• OpalCat dropped out of high school. TRUE … Yup. I dropped out of high school my senior year due to illness… I had missed too many assignments PLUS my midterms and had no chance of passing 2 of my classes, which happened to be required courses. So I dropped out, moved to Phoenix with my boyfriend and started college. I got high school credit for my college courses and got a diploma from my high school in the end.

Okay, only a couple of people took a guess at my post and they both guessed number two. Well, I’m here to tell you that you were both wrong.
Shadowfox got pulled over at the Canadian border, was ordered inside the building, and was subjected to a strip search. FALSE This actually happened to my ex-husband and two of his friends. But it was still a pretty funny story.
Shadowfox was the victim of a drive-by shooting. TRUE Although “victim” is kind of exaggerating it a little. It is true that some guy pulled up behind me while I was at a stop light and shot a bullet through my back window. Fortunately for me, he was a bad aim. The bullet entered through the window, struck the headrest on the back seat, and richoted (sp?) downwards and lodged itself in the carpeting just behind the driver’s seat.
Shadowfox was caught masturbating by her elderly grandmother. TRUE I’m not even going to go into this story, but it actually happened about ten years ago. My grandmother still mentions it every now and then.

Hardly anyone guessed, but just to drop the other shoe, #2 is false. I WAS playing in the dunes under the full moon, but I wasn’t bitten by a scorpion. I did see sidewinder tracks, though.
APB:
Cannot roll his tongue.
Can crack his toes at will.
Has an arm span of six and a half feet, taller than he stands.
Since I only gathered two guesses in as many days, I might as well come clean.
True. I was playing with some friends on the playground when I was in the second grade, when suddenly, this little first grade boy came up to us, suddenly pulled out a switchblade, and lunged at me. He missed, of course. He chased us around the playground for what seemed like an eternity, and finally had me halfway up a tall chain-link fence before a security guard came and took him away. The next year, my parents enrolled me in a different school. The other two incidents involved an emotionally unstable girlfriend.
True. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen him do it with my own eyes. (Which is to say, if I hadn’t witnessed this event personally. What did you think I meant?) He said it was really painful. I don’t doubt it.
False. I have double-posted exactly once, to my knowledge. It was something I had prided myself on up until that point, and now…? Oh, well.
Three more, which hopefully will attract more attention this time…

No one even tried to guess my last ones. I’m so bummed. But here’s the answers anyway.
True, I did get caught by my parents, doing the do with my boyfriend.
False. I was born in Michigan, and I’ve lived here all my life. For ten years, I lived about 10 miles from Mt. Brighton. But I’ve never been there. I’ve never been downhill skiing at all, for that matter.
True. My grandfather was a newscaster for Channel 5, here in Flint, for about 25 years. He worked with JKFabian’s brother, Dick Fabian.
Changing my sig, because Wally said to, and I really like Wally, and I’ll do anything he says, anytime he says to.
