Basically, what you do is come up with 2 truths and 1 lie about yourself and others try to guess what the lie is!
I'll go first
1) My chest caves in
2) I LOVEEEE Nutella
3) I've jumped out a window
~A
You hate Nutella?
here are mine:
1) I partied with Levon Helm
2) I have performed brain surgery
3) I graduated from Ohio State in 1979

Yep! Also, I dunno who Levon Helm is... But I'm going to guess its that one?
Nope, I actually partied with Levon many years ago.
Ellie, if you have performed brain surgery on something not silicon based. Ontario should quake with fear.

I'm going with the brain surgery also.
Now let's see who can sort the wheat from the chaff with my life.
1) I broke my collarbone and didn't realize for over a month
2) On the way to the hospital I was delivered on the side of the road
My parents we're not quite quick enough
3) I could water ski solo before I started school

I'm gonna go with water ski on that one.
Since you're from OZ, #3 is a given.
Since you're a t-girl (we're tough) #1 is just possible, assuming it was not a complete break.
That leaves only that you must have been delivered by roos in the bush rather in than along the road ;)
How'd I do?

It was a complete break, strange thing was I had complete use of my arm until I moved it in my sleep. We think we know where it happened but on what fall it actually broke we're still not sure. (Oh yeah I'm tough)
The answer was 2, but there is some fact in the fiction here. That was where my father was born
OK here's mine :)
1. I have climbed almost all the major peaks in the state of Washington.
2. I once spent three months at sea on a 19m boat more than 2000 km from any shore.
3. When I was 28 I danced in cabaret wearing glorious drag for a summer stock season.
Whatcha think?

I'm guessing that number 1 is the lie.
I would say number 3 is the pork pie here. If you have done number 1 you probably would of also done number 2
ok, here's mine while I wait to see if I was right on Julie's.
1. I was on an easter seals television program as a child.
2. I have two children.
3. I was in a 9.2 earthquake in the early sixties.

I just hope she used the restroom appropriate for her gender...

I'll say that 2 is a lie, my turn XD
1. I have been mugged by turkeys
2. I was once followed for more than an hour by an emu
3. My grandparents had a pet crow named Jackie
Yep, I did cabaret in summer stock but not in drag. But I would have liked to, does that count?
Jamie, for almost ten years I spent virtually every weekend in the alpine country with the Mountaineers Club. I still love the back country, but upper body strength has gone with the wind, to anything technical would be pretty foolish. Actually it was pretty foolish then too, but I was fitter and stronger.
I'm guessing that

Well...
Actually, I attended two different universities in my academic career... neither of them was Ohio State, so yes, I have professionally performed brain surgeries on living beings in a real operating theatre. Hmmm... what's that rumbling sound?

I was born at Elmendorf and we lived in Anchorage til I was three and then went to Florida in 66. And yeah, no kids cause I've always been sterile.
My dad was in Kodiak when the earthquake hit, and we couldn't contact him for almost a week. My mom almost went nuts with worry. You're in Florida? I'll be there visiting Patty Magnusson Sept 26 & 27, landing in West Palm Beach. Are you anywhere nearby?

No, we left there when I was five, then I went to Georgia after a brief stay with my mom in SC, but mostly grew up in NC after the sixth grade. I was bounced around a bit as a child between my dad and my grandmother after my mother decided she didn't want 5 kids...
I'm in NC now, on the coast in an itty bitty village. Been here for the last 20 years.

I'll pick #1. Don't know why, just a feeling.
Eris,
1. I've been mugged by turkeys too. They are mean.
2. Since you seem to antagonize birds, I'll buy the emu thing too. Please tell more.
So, your grandparents crow's name was probably Jake considering where this was written :)

That was cute, I just got it. lol
It was infact No. 3, my
great-grandparents had the crow named Jackie, he fell down the chimney and they adopted him.

My parents took me to a wildlife park whilst in England, there were emu's walking around freely and one followed me for the whole time we were there. We went indoors for lunch and it was waiting for me when we went back outside...

Numero Tres.
I say this because I am terrified of wasps and bees myself... It's just about one of my biggest fears, so it'd make sense for others to have the same fear lol
The coke... who can't?
Very tidy and organized. Despite how much I try to be organized, I'm messy. So I'mma guess you're not very tidy either :p

Hahahaha you're right... I mean I'm not a total mess or anything, I can get down to doing it (and have little choice....) Buuuut... I am lazy, admittedly.
I really am serious about the first though.. I'm scared to confess how many times I've screamed like a little girl and gone running away as fast as I could, hahaha...

I think I've had my fair share of freakouts around wasps/bees. I've only ever been stung once, but it was during school so it was like REALLY embarrassing.

Let' see who can spot the fly in the ointment with me this time around
1) I was studying English at university before I decided hospitality was where my heart truly was
2) In high school I caused a science class to be evacuated by following the teachers instructions
3) I swapped bedrooms with my sister as a child. She shared with my brother, and I had her room

I'm gonna guess 1. :)
My turn:
1. I have two dogs
2. I hate coffee
3. I am terrified of spiders

2.
embarrassingly, no.
it's 3. i don't drink alcohol.
i was in 1st to 3rd grade at the time i painted them mind you. Sounds strange, not straight, but these days i legitimately don't like stuff like that.
Then again, boredom can make you strange.
Oh, I couldn't decide between 1 and 3! :D
Yes, you're right! I love coffee.
1.i play the drums
2.i think in english despite being german
3.i like drinking really strong tea in the morning.
I am going to pick #2. Since I am not German I have a lot of trouble trying to stop thinking in English when I trry to read German.
1) I break things for a living.
2) I went to the same High School as Richard Nixon.
3) I have been compared to a Walrus - even to the point of basking on an ice flow with balmy minus 40 degree winds from the North Pole.

For some strange reason I think #2. :eusa_think:
1. Something I was involved with is now in the history books and a term from it is popular culture now.
2. I am a great cook with a good reputation.
3. My art works sell fairly well.

Hmm, you got me. I sort of thought all would regard all three as "lies."
I am going to pick #3
So, it would seem to be time to "reload."
1) My Dad taught me to drive stick shift by leaving me ten miles from home with the Beetle.
2) I really go for any sort of baked good with lemon flavor.
3) I don't care for Mexican food.

You got me also! I can't draw stick people!!! ;D ;D
Erin I am going to go for 3.
Let's see...
1) I sat on Santa Claus' lap while I was naked
2) I have hand fed pygmy marmosets
3) I sung the national anthem for the local minor league baseball team

OK, me not caring for just about any kind of food has to be a LIE, so you got me.
Of the three choices I really hope #1 is the lie...

It's actually number 1. I was very young when I sat on Santa's lap. I'd been taking a bath and he came to our house and I apparently rushed out to see him.
1]i have drowned 5 times in my life to near death
2]i use 2 cellphones in my daily life
3]i love summer
good luck finding the lie X D
Unless you're not telling us the exact number of times. I'll take number three please Montey
