Two Truths and a Lie

[Hayley]

I'm going to guess 3, but I demand (politely) a story about 2.
I'm going to guess 1, but if it isn't a lie, I want a story please.

1. I used to dress like a pirate in high school (or as close to piratey as I could get).
2. I used to play guitar in a band.
3. I have a problem with impulse control.

Omg I'm sorry I didn't see yours Edge.
Um ok I'm going to say number 1 because we all know that ninjas are better than pirates.

[MadeleineG]

@Hayley: I'm going to go with the rotator cuff injury. I'm guessing you were a high-level ball player, but suffered a different injury!

@Edge: I'm going to go with playing guitar. You strike me as a bass player. Oh, and for the record, kids in high school used to call me "Pirate Boy".

Everyone who guessed #2 was right.  I'm like the #7 or 8 woman chess player in my state.  I have a green thumb for everything but African violets.  I grow my own peppers, tomstoes, herbs, etc., but Aftican violets always die on me.  I did come close to an appointment until something went awry and I don't know what it was.  It was kind of odd that I even got considered since my background in agriculture is limited to growing a home vegetable garden.

Okay I love this game so I'm going to try too!

1.  I am one of the top ten rated woman chess players in my home state.  But yet at my local chess club people express shock upon learning that I know how the pieces move. 
2.  I have a green thumb for African violets only.  All other plants die when I touch them.
3.  I came close to being appointed by the President of the United States to a fairly senior position in the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier this year. 

I'll do the big reveal tomorrow!  If there's anyone on the board who knows me in real life, it's no fair answering because you'll probably know which is the lie!

[Hayley]

Number 1 was my lie. I never made all state. I did ruin my rotator cuff. Baseball for bascally 13 years. 1/2 to 3/4 of the year pitching and throws in from the outfield wore it down. Takes a lot of effort to get my left arm up past shoulder height.

Number 2 : I do have a "double jointed" ankle. Saying double jointed is a bit misleading. I'll post pics of anyone wants to see what I am talking about. It doesn't look pretty

Number 3 : I do have a half sister. She and I have never met despite going to same schools.

@Marieee : TWY are so amazing esp live. The best music to cheer me up.

[Edge]

1. True. I dressed like a pirate in high school.
2. False. Sadly, I did not play guitar in a band. I tried learning to play guitar, but it was not to be. I tried learning to play bass too, but my sister got pissed because I was "copying her."
3. True. My impulse problems are social. I say things when I really shouldn't.

Sydney, I'm going to guess 3.

Ok, I'm going to do another one (hopefully it's allowed)

• The DMV department tried to arrest me for falsifying my identity when they could not verify my birth certificate.
• I've been electrocuted twice and should have been dead by now.
• I have a dent on the top of me head hidden by my hair where I was attacked by a dog when I was 5 years old.

Wow, umm, #1?  All believable, but #2 and #3 seem more so.  I've been zapped so many times I can tell you the approximate voltage now.  Who needs a meter?

[Jill F]

OK, one more...  Sports edition time.

1)  I can dunk a basketball
2)  I am the worst bowler I know of
3)  I have made a hole-in-one

[Edge]

OK, one more...  Sports edition time.

1)  I can dunk a basketball
2)  I am the worst bowler I know of

I'm guessing 2. There is always someone worse.

I bet you're an excellent bowler.

[Damian]

1. The first man I dated believed he had demon living inside him.
2. I'm a boxer
3. I've been stabbed seventeen times.

1. The first man I dated believed he had demon living inside him.
2. I'm a boxer
3. I've been stabbed seventeen times.

I certainly hope that #3 is a lie!

I'm going to guess #2 as well. As said there is always someone worse.

1. The first man I dated believed he had demon living inside him.
2. I'm a boxer
3. I've been stabbed seventeen times.

Though I hope #3 is the lie but I'm guessing #2. I could see a guy who believes he has a demon inside him stabbing someone.

[Jill F]

1. The first man I dated believed he had demon living inside him.
2. I'm a boxer
3. I've been stabbed seventeen times.

All believable.  #1 is very believable- I've known plenty of those.   Did he play in a metal band as well?  #2 went down OK.  Boxing is great cardio. #3, I'd hate to believe it as well, but we all know it happens.  You also could have been stabbed sixteen or eighteen times, so I'm going with #3.

[Jill F]

2)  I am the worst bowler I know of
3)  I have made a hole-in-one

So yes, #1 is the lie.  I am not only the worst bowler ever, I am the worst basketball player as well.  Despite having great manual dexterity, I am a complete klutz. #3 was done in miniature golf.  In bowling I am lucky to not have a gutter ball every time

[Damian]

1. The first man I dated believed he had demon living inside him. He was... interesting. The biggest guy I've ever known, surprisingly the demon was more stable than him. No to the metal band, but he was a great enthusiast for them.
2. I'm a boxer I've always wanted to become one but never have had the chance.
3. I've been stabbed seventeen times. I suck at disabling people.

Congrats to the people who guessed correctly :-)

LOL

You are correct however .......

1) The DMV department tried to arrest me for falsifying my identity when they could not verify my birth certificate.rr
False - Although this didn't happen to me, it did really happen to my brother. He has a traditional girls name and a NC birth certificate.


2) I've been electrocuted twice and should have been dead by now.
True - once with a 120V 15A circuit and another with a 220V 30A circuit and with that one I was standing in muddy water with boots on wiring a well pump.


3) I have a dent on the top of me head hidden by my hair where I was attacked by a dog when I was 5 years old.
True - I was attacked by an Afghan Hound and had 20 stitches in my head.

[Marieee]

Damian I'am so sorry to hear that , I hope your alright. It's terrible men use guns and knifes on unarmed people, they're obviously not men and just cowards . I've taken 3 different Martial Arts(TKD,Karate,Kung Fu) briefly and studied many more. PM me if you'd like, maybe I can help. Don't want you to get hurt again.

I'll play again
1.) I've cracked the back of my skull twice.
2.)Been mistaken for a girl/women 3 times in my life before I had thoughts about being TG, People look confused when I first meet them.
3.) I won $500 dollars on a scratch off ticket from work.

[Shelly Lullaby]

Picking #3 here Shelly.  The phrasing is off, you don't "had read" something!  It is "DO" or DO NOT"!

In quoting, I see your HTML, interesting 

I'm going to guess that #2 is the lie.

If I were to make the same claim, even if it were true, my own mom would have me utterly destroyed! 

• I'm raising a camel. - I actually do.  Her name is Baroness Heide von Hugenstein.
• I cook better italian than my mother (she's a professional cook). - Unbelievable as it sounds, I do. I was prohibited from cooking at home for a good 2 years after my brother stated this in front of my mother. 
• I did read The Iliad for the first time when I was 11. - I read it at the age of 9. Still a favourite.
