Title: Two Truths and a Lie
Post by: Marissa on November 25, 2013, 07:39:15 PM
I got this idea from TaoRaven's thread (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,154660.0/topicseen.html).  Here's her explanation:

Quote from: TaoRaven on November 23, 2013, 07:07:02 PM
Anyway....there were a few new additions to the company, and so our district manager thought it would be fun to play the old "two truths and a lie" game. If you're unfamiliar with it, it goes like this....when it's your turn, you state three things about yourself, two of which are true, and one of which is a lie, and the group tries to guess which one might be the lie.

The way I thought it might work here is this: whoever wants to posts their 2 truths and 1 lie.  People can then post which 1 they think is the lie.  The OP comes back after 24 hours the next day and posts the real answer.  Taking turns would be too slow so everyone can take a turn any time (as long as they don't have a current 2T1L post up). 

Make sure to identify which person's entry you're guessing. 

Not sure if this is going to work, but why not give it a try? If you are reading this, go ahead and post something. ;)

Edit: It doesn't have to be exact, just sometime the next day (see bold text above).

I'll give people a chance to read the above before I take a turn.  Go ahead and start anytime!  I'll come back before too long and post my 1st post.

I'm guessing J's 3rd answer is the lie because it's the only answer that appears easy to believe.

Wild toss here, but I'm going with #3, I bet you don't watch TV at all!

1. I once peed in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at the same time.
2. I own 8 computers, 9 monitors and only 1 keyboard.
3. I have spent 11 days in jail.

Hi Joules! *Hug*

I'll be back later to give my answer, but I'm guessing...#2 is the lie.  The first fact sounds too much like a bar bet and well, it might be the third, but c'mon, only 11 days? hehehe ;)

3. I generally prefer British TV to American TV.

1. This is the lie.  Actually, I'm bisexual, leaning toward a preference for men. :)
2. True.  It was when I was 4 and 5 (had my 5th b-day on the boat). We lived on a sailboat and sailed the entire U.S. east coast and went to the Bahamas.
3. True.  I don't watch a lot of TV, but I do watch it.  A few of the shows I like are Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Top Gear (not just a guy show, they are funny).

2. I represented my country in the Irommanworld Chamionships in Hawaii. True did it 2 times and laso many triathlons
3. I have been married 4 times. LIE. I've only been married three times

Joules- guess you #3 theory works on me

Okay, two more truths and one more lie.

1. I am a blood relative to the only person to have ever been the president of a country and the governor of two of the United States.

I took my first college-level class at the age of 12.

Sam Houston came from the hills of eastern Tennessee, Blount County; some of my close relatives still carry the Houston name.  Log cabin types.  He was the Governor of both Tennessee and Texas, and the President of the Republic of Texas.

I worked three summers while in college on a deep sea research vessel.  Climbing to the top of the derrick, while underway, was one of the scariest things I have ever done.  I now have a keen appreciation of what the tall ship sailors experienced, and why they lived (or died) by the adage, "One hand for the ship; one hand for yourself."

I find the very idea of eating a rodent revolting!  Capybaras (aka chiguiros) are the worlds largest rodent.  Apparently my aforementioned ancestors in the hills of eastern Tennessee consumed enough squirrel and rabbit to use the rodent quota for several generations.

I've had rattlesnake too (but not the others).  Years ago when I lived in Holly Hill, FL, my neighbor saw a rattlesnake on the side of the road so he pulled over and killed it with an axe handle he kept in his car.  He took it home and skinned it because he wanted to hang the skin on the wall but he didn't want the meat so he gave it to me.  I cooked it up and ate it.  It was okay.  It's a tough white meat a bit like alligator. I guess the closest common food would be shrimp.  :D

But they apparently encourage others to devour them.  :icon_yikes:
Thanks for teaching me something new.  I checked the wiki and also found:
QuoteCarl Linnaeus originally grouped rabbits and rodents under the class Glires; later, they were separated as the scientific consensus is that many of their similarities were a result of convergent evolution. However, recent DNA analysis and the discovery of a common ancestor has supported the view that they share a common lineage, and thus rabbits and rodents are now often referred to together as members of the superclass Glires.[4]

Okay, aren't 1 and 2 mutually exclusive? Maybe not; I guess you could be mean and loving  but I'm guessing that #1 is the lie.

Zoe, I'm going with #1.

Quote from: kabit on December 05, 2013, 05:21:21 PM

1. I am mean.
2. I love easily and have a hard time hating anyone.
3. I never lie with intent to lie.

Mine were all true. Didn't you read #3? ;)
#1 was least true, though... but I say really mean things at times. My worst was recently - my wife kept blaming me and blaming me in chat, so I asked if she thought that maybe I'd still be in the closet if she hadn't pushed me so hard for a fourth kid (which was my big dysphoria trigger for the couple month cycles before I came out). I always regret saying those things... but you can never take them back.

#3 few people in my life believe right now... but it's true and has been true for a long, long time. (I will withhold the truth as needed - I withheld that baby #4 was a dysphoria trigger from my wife... but someone told her who shouldn't have).

Hmm don't know too much about anybody here, and I'am sure it's mutual but...

Sydney_NYC Ima say 3 is the lie.

Jill_F I'll say 3 is the lie. But either way that's way cool.

1.) I'm over 6 ft tall.
2.) I'am actually a cis-female who transitioned to male early, and is going back to female.

  • I lost my virginity to a guy. True. When I was nearly 17 I was seduced by a boy a little less than a year younger than me.
  • Years before transition, I seduced a lesbian. True. Shortly after I turned 18 I spent the night with a lesbian who'd been my quasi-girlfriend for a time.
  • I am a confirmed Catholic. Lie: Though I was originally baptized and raised Catholic, I was never confirmed.

Jamie D wins. Round 2:

Although I am left handed and have actually handled all of the above,  I am a right handed guitar player.  Tony Iommi (that's Black Sabbath, folks...) is a lefty and I only just plucked the strings.  I played "Kashmir" on Jimmy Page's DADGAD Danelectro while it was being serviced electronically and got to spend an afternoon with an acoustic that once belonged to Blackmore while the current owner recorded with one of my basses.  I also once got to fingerf^&* Blackmore's old Gibson ES-335 at a guitar show.  I so wished I had the $75K to buy it at the time!  I know for a fact Blackmore wants it back after he lost it in a divorce, and I know where to find him.

If #2 is true, than #1 must also be true, meaning #3 is false.

That leaves us with #2 and #3 as the only possibilities.

C.A. uses the term "affixed" in referring to the Cross of St Andrew.  And C.A.'s family name suggests to me a connection to a Catholic Scots-Irish background.  Careful wording leads me to believe #3 is a true statement.

Okay, let's do this logic thing.

The clue to the context of the three above statements lies in the first item, and within that context a Saint Andrew's Cross is something used BDSM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Andrew%27s_Cross_(BDSM)). Power Exchange in San Francisco, which I have been to more than once, has at least 2 of these fixtures to which I have never been affixed.

Items 1 and 2 are true, and item 3 is a lie.

Edit: Another clue lay in my reply to the 10 random facts about YOU (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,149066.msg1278764.html#msg1278764) thread.

3. believe or not it's true! when i was around that age we went to a zoo which claimed to have tamed animals, and they would let us enter the cages and touch them, take photos and so on. for dangerous animals they would let us go near when they are asleep. so mom had taken me to the tiger and made me sit on the sleeping tiger like on horseback. years later an incident happened in that zoo where an animal attacked a child and the investigations revealed that the animals were actually drugged to doze off. eventually the zoo was banned, but i did sit on a sleeping tiger

#1 is true. I also have siblings at various other age gaps. But three are quite neatly separated.

#2 is true. I am, in the common vernacular, somewhat of a prude. (Also I went to Wheaton, high on the short list of worst party schools in America.

3 is true as well, I've had all the traditional hair colors, only person I know who has done that.

That leaves 2 the lie, and well done Andrea! How so? Only one guy on my mother's side, by blood, my cousin, and he likes guys. So nobody on her side is attracted to women, due to a guy shortage. Crazy one, isn't it?

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  ;)

Thanks, corrected.  :-*

Maybe it wasn't yours, maybe auto-added?  Your 3 items show up as an HTML list structure when quoted.  Try it, you'll see what I mean.  I've never seen that happen here before.

EDIT: Hmmm, I tried it on Connie's list above, same thing.  Must be the system, not the author.

Sure it's the author. New post, second button from the right in the second row from top, "Insert Ordered List".

Number 1 is indeed a lie. Though I started reading The Silmarilian when I was 15, I gave up pretty quickly. I'd be 30 before I read it cover to cover.

I started reading it as a teen. Still haven't finished it. No desire to, either.

Good morning, players!  Well, #3 is the lie.  My wife's first car was a '66 Mustang.  Mine was actually a '77 Chevy Malibu.

#1- I didn't actually play on the NCAA team, but I played intramural and "unofficial" tackle games at UC Santa Barbara.  I was relentlessly recruited by members of the official team, but I refused to take the requisite steroids.  I was a pretty good weak side outside linebacker that ate quarterbacks for breakfast.
#2- I met Slash at a bar near a SoCal NAMM convention about 15 years ago.  It went downhill from there.  Somewhere there's a picture with me wearing his signature hat.  The resulting hangover was legendary, requiring some "hair of the dog".  I still hate Heineken.

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!

Jill that's really cool you got to drink with Slash. He was the reasons I loved top hats as a kid.

@ThePhoenix - I am going to guess #2 because death touch for plants tends to cross all plants.

I guess I'll play as well.

#1 - I was an All-State baseball player in high school before destroying my rotator cuff.

#2 - I have a "double jointed" ankle.

#3 - I have a half sister I've never met.

I'm guessing #2 because it seems like an anatomical impossibility for an ankle to be double jointed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

3. I've been stabbed seventeen times. I suck at disabling people.

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.
