I’ve been on the news in the Middle East.
I’ve been on the news in the United States.
I’ve been on the news in Latin America.
The second one.
What do I win?
Nope, sorry. Care to guess again and/or put out your own truths-and-lie?
ETA: I was on the local news in Tucson, Arizona, although I may not have been particularly distinguishable; the news van pulled up at a parking lot where I, among other volunteers, was helping to take and pack up food donations.
I’m guessing you’ve not been on the news in Latin America.
My own:
I’ve been bitten by a tiger.
I have (or rather, had) ten grandparents.
My nickname in high school was “Pestilence”, straight from Revelations.
Yup. I was in Israel a couple of years ago as one of hundreds (thousands?) of college students from around the world seeing the country for free through a government program, which was apparently newsworthy in Tel-Aviv. It wasn’t so much an interview as it was a YouTube-style recording of my drunken dancing at a local club. IIRC, I had a Heinekin in each hand. Tastes way better over there, BTW.
I’m gonna go with #1.
My friend had to do this for a class once, though it was two lies and a truth. No one in the class guessed that her truth was that this 20 year old unassuming girl had opened for both Chicago and Three Dog Night.
I am scared of moths.
I am scared of umbrellas.
I am scared of staplers.
One lie. (No help from Fathomites)
- I once shot the president of Bulgaria.
- I have a regular column in one of the English-language newspapers here writing about ‘life as a foreigner in Japan’.
- Despite being an atheist, I’ve performed nearly a thousand wedding ceremonies
I’ve been trodden on by an elephant.
I’ve been used as a UK TV trailer.
I’ve travelled with royalty in torn T-shirt and jeans.
Sublight has never shot the President of any country. And glee has not gotten trampled by an elephant. At least I hope not.
- I have done voice over for a mobile phone company’s television ad.
- I once worked at a job importing pencils into Turkey.
- I have piloted a water taxi.
Shooting doesn’t have to be done with a gun. 
I…
…have been to all 48 continental states.
…have walked through a very large crowd wearing nothing but sneakers and a strategically placed fanny pack.
…was taught to walk with major assistance from a duck.
That one’s actually true. It was a tiger cub, and it was a play bite, but those are all details.
As a first-grader, I made my NYC stage debut.
As a second grader, I became a published author.
As a third grader, I spoke on National television.
No, I haven’t done anything lately.
I was seriously on the verge of starting one of these threads when I noticed this one. Curses, foiled again and all that.
In high school, I broke my leg in gym class by tripping on a lacrosse stick.
I was once bitten by a wild animal while visiting Dollywood.
My Bacon number is 3.
The idea that Sublight has a newspaper column is just bad journalism.
Desert Nomad’s sunk if he thinks I’ll believe he’s a driven a water taxi.
There’s something fowl about Hal’s duck story.
I feel that Barrett Bonden’s first statement was staged.
Clearly the third. No one on the planet has a Bacon number exceeding 2.
Moving thread from IMHO to MPSIMS.
Among the things I have in my apartment are:
- A human skull
- A dinosaur
- Red tide
