3 truths and a lie!

[draggar]

Another game! Why not, we need fun!

Post 3 things that are tur about you and one that is a lie (in any order). People try to guess which one is the lie. The one who guesses correctly will be able to post the next set.

Do not post the next set until it is confirmed that you are correct! Also, don't guess all 4. :)

I'll start:

1) I once drove over 1,200 miles (each way) over 3 days to pick up a puppy.
2) I have driven the entire length of US route 95 (from Miami, Florida to Houlton, Maine).
3) I have been on both ends of US Route 1 (Key West, Florida and Fort Kent, Maine)
4) I once drive 3 1/2 hours, each way, just for a lobster dinner.

[Saydrah]

I say #3 is a lie.

[Shangri-laschild]

My guess is for #2

[draftermatt]

#4 has to be a lie

Because you already told me once about #1, and if you did #2 or #3, why wouldn't you have done the other?

[Chazzie]

To be different, I'll say #1 is a lie.

[monolayth]

been beaten to it

[draggar]

I say #3 is a lie.


Correct!

As for #3, I've never been to Fort Kent, Maine (been pretty close, but not all the way).

[Saydrah]

Woo, I win!

*does a jig*

My three truths and a lie:

1. I learned to program in Basic during Kindergarten.
2. I have over 20 pets.
3. I was first runner-up in a national math competition and won a $1,000 savings bond.
4. I have appeared in a movie.

2. I have over 20 pets.
3. I was first runner-up in a national math competition and won a $1,000 savings bond.
4. I have appeared in a movie.

I will guess number 3.

[Saydrah]

You're a sharp one!

Yes, #3 is a lie. But it's a SNEAKY lie. I was SECOND runner-up. First runner-up got a $5,000 savings bond, and the winner got a $10,000 one.

[Chazzie]

Ouch, that's kind of disheartening. o_o

[Saydrah]

I didn't think so. Third in the country still means I beat a lot of people! And I got a free trip to Florida out of it.

[Geek King]

I didn't think so. Third in the country still means I beat a lot of people! And I got a free trip to Florida out of it.

Saydrah, you are both a gracious winner, and a good loser. We need more of those in this world...as my outing on X-Box Live last night shows. :rolleyes::lol:

[MystyGlyttyr]

Heh, I picked that one because it was the most detailed. Seemed like a clue. LOL

Okay. My three truths and a lie.

1. I have dyed my hair every color of the rainbow.
2. I am utterly terrified of worms.
3. My least favorite color is yellow.
4. I tell people I am 19 even though I'm 26, and have never been disbelieved.

[iradney]

2. I am utterly terrified of worms.

4. I tell people I am 19 even though I'm 26, and have never been disbelieved.

I say ... 1!

[Crazeyal]

I'd say 2.. But 1 is correct as well.. because you have NOT dyed it Infr-red or Ultraviolet (meaning you burned your hair off!!) :lol:

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I'll guess number 4

[MystyGlyttyr]

I say ... 1!

Correct-o, heh. I've dyed my hair blonde, red, white, blue, and green. My dream hair would be bright red with pink and blue stripes, but for now, I have to look professional. Ugh.

I will KILL someone if they come near me with a worm, yellow disgusts me for the most part, and most people who hear me say that I'm 19 think I'm even younger than that. So, whoo!

[iradney]

Woohoo! I won! I won! :D

*ahem*

1) I have never dyed my hair blonde
2) I recently stopped biting my nails
3) I have an identical twin for a mother
4) My boyfriend is exactly 1' 2" taller than me

AAAAAAAND go!

[Crazeyal]

Blind guess of 2

[monolayth]

i say 4 yay

[draggar]

Technically #3 can't be true so I think it is misleading (she could look like you, but not a twin) so I'm going to guess #1. :)

[iradney]

Technically #3 can't be true so I think it is misleading (she could look like you, but not a twin) so I'm going to guess #1. :)

You win!
Actually, # 3 is true - my mom IS an identical twin - just not MY identical twin obviously :)

[draggar]

Yay!

OK,

1) Out of the 5 companies that I've worked "long term" (over 1 year) for, 3 no longer exist.
2) I was once fired by my mom.
3) I've been laid off twice.
4) While on a call interviewing for a promotion, the interviewer seriously threatened to fire me just before offering me the promotion.

[Saydrah]

I guess #3 again!

[draggar]

I guess #3 again!

Remind me to switch them around. :)

I've only been laid off once.

[Saydrah]

Woohoo, lucky number three comes through :)


1. I have had a gun pulled on me while going door-to-door.
2. As a child, I taught my pet cockatiel to talk, but his favorite words were nonsense from science fiction books I read to him, like "Blort!"
3. I've never lived more than 15 miles from the exact spot where I was born.
4. I have coffee with my Congressman regularly.

[draggar]

Tough one. 3 & 4 are pretty reasonable and so is #1. Well, so is #2.

I'll guess #2.

[Saydrah]

*shakes fist* You got me.

It was my neighbor's cockatiel.

[Nekojin]

*Gazumped*

[draggar]

Yay! Sad ones:

1) I've sentenced a dog to death
2) I've had a dog killed while it was in my arms
3) My wife has deliberately killed a dog herself
4) My actions led to the accidental death of a dog

[Saydrah]

I don't want any of those to be true :(

[draggar]

Unfortunately 3 of them are. :(

[Nekojin]

If you work in vetinary work, the first three are certainly possible. So I'll guess #4.

[draggar]

If you work in vetinary work, the first three are certainly possible. So I'll guess #4.

You are correct on almost all counts.

1) I did a temperament test for a potential for malinois rescue. It tried to bite me out of aggression (I can tell different emotions). The shelter had to put the dog down.

2) We had a dog who had serious epelipsey. She battled it for many years and we had her put to sleep because even with strong phenobarbotol she was havin seizures. She was close to going into a grand mal seizure when he had per put down. We held her as she was given the injection.

3) My wife was a vet tech and had to euthanize many old, sick, and injured dogs.

4) Is the lie.

So, it's not as bad as it seems. :)

[Nekojin]

Let's see here.

1.) I never watch broadcast television.
2.) I have been unemployed more over the past 8 years than employed.
3.) I am currently not subscribed to any MMOs.
4.) I have scars on my shoulder from my cat.

[Saydrah]

Let's see. If 1 and 2 are true, 3 MUST be false, because you'd have nothing else to do!

I say 3

[Nekojin]

Nope. Strictly speaking, I don't have any MMO subscriptions - I cancelled my WoW account last week.

[Bliss]

I'd say #1, I bet you do watch some broadcast.

[Nekojin]

I'd say #1, I bet you do watch some broadcast.
Nope. We don't have a cable/satellite account at all, and "normal" reception here sucks. We've considered getting a satellite account, but haven't bothered to do so yet.

[draggar]

4 - its the most reasonable. :)

[Nekojin]

4 - its the most reasonable. :)

That is correct. I frequently have scabs on my shoulder, but as yet no visible scars. =^_^=

[draggar]

Woohoo!

OK,

1) I've been working on IT and support (computers) for over 25 years.
2) I have my CCNA
3) I have two college degrees in computer electronics
4) I flunked out of college

[Plaidman]

Its gotta be 4! Your trying to trick me because your name!

[draggar]

Nope, I did flunk out of a college, which ended up being a good thing for me.

[Princess-Snake]

Hmmm... Number 2?

[draggar]

Hmmm... Number 2?

Correct :D

[MadMike]

Let's see what I can come up with...

1. While I'm strictly a metalhead these days, when I was a kid, I liked the Beatles.
2. I was not born in this country.
3. I speak fluent spanish, which I use often with my wife when we're having a conversation we don't want people overhearing.
4. I got drunk for the first time at the age of 14.

[Princess-Snake]

Correct :D

Huh! And I was just guessing too! So here goes,

1) I have won a poetry contest.
2) I put together a 750 piece jigsaw puzzle in just 2 days.
3) I can play the guitar.
4) I read on average 103 books a month.

Which one's the lie?

[daleduke17]

#4 is the lie.

Which one's the lie?

I'll say 3 is the lie.

[Trayol]

For both MadMike and Princess-Snake: the lie is #1.

[MadMike]

For both MadMike and Princess-Snake: the lie is #1.

I can't speak for Princess-Snake, but wrong answer on mine.

[Princess-Snake]

I'll say 3 is the lie.

You're right!:D

[daleduke17]

Let's see what I can come up with...

1. While I'm strictly a metalhead these days, when I was a kid, I liked the Beatles.
2. I was not born in this country.
3. I speak fluent spanish, which I use often with my wife when we're having a conversation we don't want people overhearing.
4. I got drunk for the first time at the age of 14.

#2 is the lie.

[MadMike]

OK, two wrong guesses, so I might as well reveal the answer.

1. Everyone here knows I'm a metalhead. But when I was little, I used to listen to a lot of my dad's records. I liked the Beatles the best, so much that I started buying their records (remember those?) on my own. But sometime around the early 80s, I started getting into more current music. What I really liked was the heavier stuff, although I didn't get into the really heavy stuff until I went off to college.

2. My dad got drafted into the army around the time of the Vietnam War, but for some reason they sent him somewhere in Germany. My mom went with him, and I ended up being born over there, on a military base, I believe.

3. While I took four years of Spanish in high school, and got A's and B's, I never became fluent. I can understand single words or short sentences, but anything beyond that all seems to run together. My wife, on the other hand, was born in Puerto Rico, and is fluent in Spanish, since it's her native language. If I knew enough to have an understand a conversation, we probably would use it to prevent people from listening in. ;)

4. My dad was having a party at his house one weekend my brother and I were visiting. He didn't mind me having a little bit of beer now and then, but one of his guests thought it would be funny to get me drunk. At that age, it didn't take much, believe me. When my dad found out, he didn't get angry at all. He just seemed disappointed. Looking back now, he was probably also worried about my mom finding out.

[marty]

Yay! I don't play guitar either. Okay.

1. I can pull five stars on most songs on expert vocals in Rock Band.
2. My favorite food is corn.
3. I drink at least five cups of coffee a day.
4. I won an award on a state level for my artwork.

[karath]

Delicious as corn is, it has its limits. I'm gonna say #2 is the lie.

[tropicsgoddess]

1. My fiance is 6'9" and over 300 lbs.

2. I've worked in a strip club

3. I have a Schipperke dog.


Take a guess...:D

[marty]

Delicious as corn is, it has its limits. I'm gonna say #2 is the lie.

That's right. I hate corn. :D

[karath]

That's right. I hate corn. :D

Booya! My turn!

Odds of me regretting making this at 3:30 am? You guess :D

1. I have never had a SO.
2. I am currently subscribed to more than one MMO.
3. I failed one or more semesters of college.
4. I'm a people person.

Luck to ye all!

[Fenrus]

Ooh, ooh, definately 4!!

Though 1 could easily be arranged to be false... SO stands for MANY things...

I'm stickin with 4.

[tropicsgoddess]

Ooh, ooh, definately 4!!

Though 1 could easily be arranged to be false... SO stands for MANY things...

I'm stickin with 4.

Same here.

[karath]

Believe it or not, it is NOT 4. And I suppose I should clarify SO for those people who've done some...creative rearranging :D Significant Other, nothing gutter-y this time. Sorry! :angel:

[Meadhands]

1. I have never had a SO.
2. I am currently subscribed to more than one MMO.
3. I failed one or more semesters of college.
4. I'm a people person.


I am gonna say that #3 is the false one. It just seems too plausible, so it MUST be false! (<-- Customer logic???)

[Trayol]

I am gonna say that #3 is the false one. It just seems too plausible, so it MUST be false! (<-- Customer logic???)
Wow, is it bad that that actually made sense to me. I shall guess #2.

[karath]

Trayol, you are correct! Believe it or not, I'm only subscribed to WoW, I failed my first two semester at the community college I attend, and love people (except SCs). Good guesses all; Trayol, your turn now!

[Meadhands]

Dang! That is what I get for having faith in my answers. The moral of this story is to never try.

[Trayol]

Wow, I was right. I just picked a random number. :p It shows that it is better to be lucky than smart :D

1. I won Homecoming King in High School.
2. I'm going to be an RA next school year.
3. I own 2 copies of High School Musical on DVD.
4. I've never had a serious romantic relationship.

[smileyeagle1021]

2. I'm going to be an RA next school year.
3. I own 2 copies of High School Musical on DVD.
4. I've never had a serious romantic relationship.

hmm, that's a good question... all seem so plausible... except I don't know why anyone would waste money on 2 copies of the same movie, so I'll guess number 3

[InverseHellion]

I'm gonna go with 4

[Trayol]

To Smileyeagle and Hellion: you're both wrong, which is actually kind of sad. :cry:

[smileyeagle1021]

To Smileyeagle and Hellion: you're both wrong, which is actually kind of sad. :cry:

is it too late to change my answer to number 1 (i have a 50/50 chance now)

[InverseHellion]

well if he's gonna do that I'll say 2.

Same 50/50 chance ne, Eagle-chan?

[Trayol]

Ding Ding Ding. And the winner is InverseHellion. I did apply to be an RA but I'm only the first alternate. The other three are completely true which is good(1), creepy(3) and sad(4).

You're up now IH, good luck.

[InverseHellion]

Wai! ^_^

1) I have watched the entirety of 8 different Shoujo animes.
2) I have never gone on a date.
3) I once had a school semester in which I sang for 4 hours a day.
4) I once slept in a closet for a year.

[Evil Queen]

I think #3 is the lie.

[InverseHellion]

Nope! Grade 12 second semester I had Concert Choir, Chamber Choir, Jazz Class, Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Choir. ^_^

[Evil Queen]

Wow. Please tell me you can carry a tune. (I'm tone deaf but my BF can sing very well)

Now I'm envious. Can I have another guess?

[InverseHellion]

I can indeed carry a tune, hell in Concert Choir I carried a part (only male in a 13 member choir. We performed SAB arrangements and I had to be heard over 12 women and have my part right)

And for a Queen of Evil how can I not give a second guess? ^_^

[Evil Queen]

You're too charming to have never been on a date. :)
And you like Anime (from what I could gather) so I'm assuming #1 is correct...

So I vote that number 4 is wrong then.

[InverseHellion]

Awww so sweet and yet still false. My first year of college I ended up getting really depressed living on my own for the first time ever and I found my apartment was too much space since I didn't know anybody or have an active social life. So I went Japanese style, got a futon, ran my laptop off the power outlet in there stored my clothes on a shelf and lived in the closet. The rest of the apartment was immaculate!

[Evil Queen]

But anime has to still be correct... I refuse to let it be false!

So that leaves option Numéro deux. You've never been on a date? Why not??

[InverseHellion]

2) I have never gone on a date.


You seem to be misremembering EvilQueen, #2 asserts that I've never been on a date, not that I have been on a date. And it is true. As to why not, sure I'm witty and charming with women, unfortunately I date men and I'm much more awkward when it comes to wooing my fellow gentlemen then I am at flattering lovely ladies like yourself. I blame a complete lack of role models in the realm of seducing men. ;)

[Evil Queen]

Awww, you're so cute. But you're right. I forgot what I was supposed to be doing in the game. (Find the false number, not the true number) :p Silly EQ, kicks are for trix.

Does this mean it's my turn now?

[InverseHellion]

I suppose it is. Oh and #1 was a lie because I was tricksy it was the number that was important. I've actually watched the entirety of closer to 16 shojo anime titles. ^_^
