Two truths and a lie

[Evo]

This is a game we played recently in a class I was in.

Tell two things related to yourself that are true and one thing that is a lie and we'll try to guess which is the lie.

I'll start. (darn, BobG will know most of the stuff about me from other posts :grumpy: ) Ok, here we go.

I had my own tv show when I was 16.

One of my relatives was married to the Bride of Frankenstein.

One of my ancestors was the wealthiest man in the US in the late 18th century.

[Pengwuino]

You didn't have your own tv show!

[Evo]

Correct, it was a radio show.

Come on, post some odd facts. You don't need to wait until the previous poster's has been guessed to add your own.

[Townsend]

I was investigated for 9 counts of Grand larceny....

I have driven a car to over 230 mph...

I pitched three no hitters in little league baseball...

[mattmns]

blah, Townsend beat me.

I am going to go with the second one here. I don't think you have driven a car over 230mph.

Ahh I remember playing this game once in high school.

I am half African-American
I listen to old school gangsta rap from the 90s
I once got a score of 71 playing minesweeper on expert.

[Evo]

I believe the first. :biggrin:

[whozum]

I was investigated for 9 counts of Grand larceny....

I have driven a car to over 230 mph...

I pitched three no hitters in little league baseball...

230 mph is too fast, I'm voting that.

[Smurf]

I've been proposed to 3 times (in real life - as in, not over the internet)

One of my relatives was a mechanic and fixed German trucks in WW2.

I spent several years in Somalia as a child.

[Townsend]

230 mph is too fast, I'm voting that.

No...I never pitched three no hitters.....I did pitch one though

[whozum]

I've been proposed to 3 times (in real life - as in, not over the internet)

One of my relatives was a mechanic and fixed German trucks in WW2.

I spent several years in Somalia as a child.

The first one.

[Smurf]

Mattmns, you're not half black.

[Evo]

blah, Townsend beat me.

I am going to go with the second one here. I don't think you have driven a car over 230mph.You're not supposed to put your facts in white. :grumpy:

[mattmns]

I am going with the third for smurf.

[whozum]

No...I never pitched three no hitters.....I did pitch one though

What did you drive? No conventionally accessible car goes that fast.

[Smurf]

teehee, everyone believes the relative in ww2 one? Any more guesses before I reveal the truth?

[zoobyshoe]

One of my relatives was married to the Bride of Frankenstein.
Elsa Lanchester? That's kinda cool.
One of my ancestors was the wealthiest man in the US in the late 18th century.
If there's any left over, send me some.

[Evo]

I've been proposed to 3 times (in real life - as in, not over the internet)

One of my relatives was a mechanic and fixed German trucks in WW2.

I spent several years in Somalia as a child.I know which you've posted before, so I won't say.

[mattmns]

You're not supposed to put your facts in white. :grumpy:
Yeah I just did that so I could add them in later since Townsend had beat me. (I thought we would be doing it one at a time.

Smurf got it right though. I am not half-black. Although women often question me on that after seeing my penis :rofl:

[Pengwuino]

teehee, everyone believes the relative in ww2 one? Any more guesses before I reveal the truth?

No one would propose to you.

[Smurf]

Okay. I've never been to Somalia.I know which you've posted before, so I won't say.
What? We've had a thread like this before?

[whozum]

Yeah I just did that so I could add them in later since Townsend had beat me. (I thought we would be doing it one at a time.

Smurf got it right though. I am not half-black. Although women often question me on that after seeing my penis :rofl:

Youve been mentioning penises (penii?) quite a bit now.. whats the deal?

[Evo]

Elsa Lanchester? That's kinda cool.Yep, my grandfather's cousin was Charles Laughton, aka "the hunchback of Notre Dame" and Captain Bligh. :tongue2:

If there's any left over, send me some.None, he left his money to charity. His family had the will contested by none other than Daniel Webster, and Webster lost.

[Smurf]

Smurf got it right though. I am not half-black. Although women often question me on that after seeing my penis :rofl:
Gee arn't we modest.

[mattmns]

Youve been mentioning penises (penii?) quite a bit now.. whats the deal?
You're right, maybe I should quit being a pervert.

[Smurf]

Youve been mentioning penises (penii?) quite a bit now.. whats the deal?
You know what they say. Those who talk the most, have the least.

[Evo]

Okay. I've never been to Somalia.
What? We've had a thread like this before?No, I just remembered you mentioning things. Ok, I was wrong, what foreign country did you live in?

[Townsend]

What did you drive? No conventionally accessible car goes that fast.

I used to live around a drag strip in Marion SD.....

What do you suppose a blown 500 CID Dodge hemi in a cuda with a lenco tyranny can do on an open rode? The engine dynoed at about 850 break horsepower IIRC....

http://www.thundervalleydragways.com/

[Smurf]

No, I just remembered you mentioning things. Ok, I was wrong, what foreign country did you live in?
Ghana and France.

[whozum]

You know what they say. Those who talk the most, have the least.
This is so true.

[zoobyshoe]

Yep, my grandfather's cousin was Charles Laughton, aka "the hunchback of Notre Dame" and Captain Bligh. :tongue2:
A remarkably fine actor, but he did usually play villains and strange characters.
His family had the will contested by none other than Daniel Webster, and Webster lost.
Wow, you have quite a rich family history.

[Smurf]

None, he left his money to charity. His family had the will contested by none other than Daniel Webster, and Webster lost.
That is pretty awsome.

[Evo]

Doesn't do me any good. :grumpy: But I'm not a direct descendant anyway, that part of the family is an offshoot.

[whozum]

Since no one's going

1. I'm three years ahead of all my classmates in age.
2. I rank in the top 20 of the world's best minesweeper expert times
3. I hold passports from three countries.


edit: Gale is disqualified from this one :)

[Evo]

C'mon zoob, we're all waiting to find out about you.

[Evo]

Since no one's going

1. I'm three years ahead of all my classmates in age.
2. I rank in the top 20 of the world's best minesweeper expert times
3. I hold passports from three countries.


edit: Gale is disqualified from this one :)Three years ahead, as in three years older or younger? This is a tough one. :grumpy: I know a person can have two passports (dual national), but three I don't know.

I will say the first two are true.

[zoobyshoe]

C'mon zoob, we're all waiting to find out about you.
I'm tryin' to think of some.

[whozum]

Three years ahead, as in three years older or younger? This is a tough one. :grumpy:

If i was three years older i'd be three years behind my classmates

[mattmns]

Since no one's going

1. I'm three years ahead of all my classmates in age.
2. I rank in the top 20 of the world's best minesweeper expert times
3. I hold passports from three countries.


edit: Gale is disqualified from this one :)


I am going to say the first is false. I know your minesweeper scores are good And I think you said you were in the navy, so the three countries would make sense.

[Evo]

If i was three years older i'd be three years behind my classmatesWhen you get to be my age, it's a nice way of saying you're older. As in "I'm a few years ahead of my co-workers". :biggrin:

[whozum]

1. I am two years ahead of my classmates
2. I do rank top 20, but it's not recorded online.
3. I have three passports, British, US and Sudanese.

I was never in the navy, I'm only 19.

[mattmns]

Hhmm, I must be mistaking you for someone else. Or maybe it was that you were leaving the country that made me think that.

[Pengwuino]

\ :grumpy: I know a person can have two passports (dual national), but three I don't know.


you mean citizenships?

[Evo]

you mean citizenships?Yes, citizenships.

[Townsend]

Yes, citizenships.

But he was talking about passports, no?

[whozum]

But he was talking about passports, no?

I have passports and citizenships in all three, someone go..?

[Townsend]

I have passports and citizenships in all three, someone go..?

If you're a citizen why do you need a passport?

[Gale]

If you're a citizen why do you need a passport?
to leave the country....

[Townsend]

to leave the country....

I didn't know you needed a passport to leave?

I never needed one to leave the US....course that was either on a ship or just when walking to Tijuana...

[whozum]

I didn't know you needed a passport to leave?

I never needed one to leave the US....course that was either on a ship or just when walking to Tijuana...

They stamp your passport when you leave..

[Gale]

I didn't know you needed a passport to leave?

I never needed one to leave the US....course that was either on a ship or just when walking to Tijuana...
ya, you need it to get into any other country. mexico and canada don't require americans to have them... usually.

[Evo]

You need one to get back in, unless it's just across the border.

[Townsend]

You need one to get back in, unless it's just across the border.

Good to know....

[Evo]

Good to know....You'll also need one to get into a foreign country (not across the border), so usually any ship or plane you board that will land in a foreign country will not let you on board without a passport.

[Smurf]

I didn't know you needed a passport to leave?

I never needed one to leave the US....course that was either on a ship or just when walking to Tijuana...
heh, not much of a traveller outside the navy townsend? (odd, i thought you still neeeded your passports if you were on a navy ship)

I have a French passport and a Canadian passport, which comes in handy when travelling in the EU because they always have 2 customs aisles. One for EU passports, one for non-EU passports, so I just use whichever one has the shortest line :biggrin:

[mattmns]

Ahh Townsend was the navy guy!

[Townsend]

heh, not much of a traveller outside the navy townsend? (odd, i thought you still neeeded your passports if you were on a navy ship)


No and no.... I haven't traveled outside the Navy much at all....and no, you don't need a passport when you pull into port. Your military ID is basically all you need...

[Smurf]

Yeah, remember when we had that thread where we all decided not to believe he was really from the military for about a week? And he kept whining and whining about it.

[Smurf]

No and no.... I haven't traveled outside the Navy much at all....and no, you don't need a passport when you pull into port. Your military ID is basically all you need...
Oooh, they give you a separate ID thing. okay well that makes sense.

[Townsend]

Yeah, remember when we had that thread where we all decided not to believe he was really from the military for about a week? And he kept whining and whining about it.

bunch of jerks you all were being.... :grumpy:

happy?

[Smurf]

you'll means "you will", "you all" is y'all.

[Townsend]

Oooh, they give you a separate ID thing. okay well that makes sense.

Separate? It's not Separate...you use your normal military ID card. You get a military ID card when you're in the service. How do you suppose they know who to let on base?

[Townsend]

you'll means "you will", "you all" is y'all.

yeah...I know...
Just be glad the world does not depend on my spelling and grammar skills...

[Pengwuino]

bunch of jerks you all were being.... :grumpy:

happy?


Don't take that crap from him. bomb him!!!

[Townsend]

Don't take that crap from him. bomb him!!!

It's ok...I am satisfied knowing that he has to live with his 4 to 4.5 inch penis for the rest of his life.....

What kind of life would that be?

[cefarix]

One of my ancestors' relative fought along side Tipu Sultan.
I made two operating systems, one in assembly, and the other a mixture of assembly and C, when I was 12 years old.
My ancestors are from Pakistan.

Good luck guessing which one is false :wink:

[Evo]

Good luck guessing which one is false :wink:I'll guess 1 & 2.

[cefarix]

its two 2 truths and 1 false.
1 & 2 are false or true? (according to evo?)

[Smurf]

2 is false.

[Townsend]

2 is false.

That's what I'm thinking but I expect the correct answer is one or three...

[Evo]

its two 2 truths and 1 false.
1 & 2 are false or true? (according to evo?)I'm guessing 1 & 2 are true.

[mattmns]

I think 2 is true. 3 seems a bit weird, and for 1 I have no clue who that person is. So I will go with 3 as the false one.

[zoobyshoe]

I once met commedian Joe Piscopo.

I once met commedian John Candy

I once met commedian Martin Mull.

[hypnagogue]

I'm gonna say zoob has never met John Candy.

[mattmns]

Yeah I am going to go with John Candy as well.

[Evo]

All right, I will say he never met Martin Mull, just to be different.

[hypnagogue]

I once met David Chalmers (http://consc.net/chalmers/).

I once met Daniel Dennett (http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/~ddennett.htm).

I once met Steven Pinker (http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/).

[mattmns]

I will go with David Chalmers as false.

[Evo]

Damn, this is getting hard. :grumpy:

[Smurf]

I've talked on MSN with Gale17
I've talked on MSN with Whozum
I've talked on MSN with Franznietzsche

[Gale]

I've talked on MSN with Gale17
I've talked on MSN with Whozum
I've talked on MSN with Franznietzsche

i know the answer!!! but i won't give it away...

[JamesU]

I once had a chat with steven speilberg
I've been on TV twice
I was once kicked in the shin by a horse

[Evo]

I think #1 is false.

[JamesU]

sorry, messed up. EDITED

[Smurf]

i know the answer!!! but i won't give it away...
lol. You just did with that post (oh wait, maybe not)

[Smurf]

yomamma: 3 is false.

[JamesU]

nope,--> 1 is false

[zoobyshoe]

All right, I will say he never met Martin Mull, just to be different.
Evo is correct. I have never met comedian Martin Mull.

I met John Candy when he was a member of Second City which performed at my college in the 1970's, and I met Joe Piscopo when visiting a friend who did makeup at NBC in NY.

[Evo]

YES! finally :blushing:

[JamesU]

anyone got any more?

[zoobyshoe]

I think #1 is false.
You were right about this, too!

[Evo]

You're right, I was!!

[Townsend]

1. I have the same birthday as Alyssa Milano.

2. I once ran 3 miles in 17 minutes and 15 seconds

3. I have cleared a 40 foot triple

[zoobyshoe]

I once crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.

I once crossed the Brooklyn Bridge.

I once crossed the London Bridge.

[Townsend]

I once crossed the Golden Gate bridge.

I onced crossed the Brooklyn Bridge.

I onced crossed the London bridge.

#3...didn't someone actually buy the London bridge and bring it to the US?

[Evo]

Ok, here's another about me.

I did a walk on part on Saturday Night Live.

A video tape of me is stored in the Library of Congress.

My cat has been accused of international possum smuggling.

[JamesU]

@ townsend
#3

@zoobyshoe
#2

[Townsend]

@ townsend
#3


correct....

[JamesU]

Evo...........

#2

[zoobyshoe]

I did a walk on part on Saturday Night Live.
I think this is the false one, just because I've never seen you mention having been to NY.

[mattmns]

I am going with #3 for Evo as false.

[zoobyshoe]

@zoobyshoe
#2
#3...didn't someone actually buy the London bridge and bring it to the US?
BOTH Townsend and yommama are correct. I have never crossed the Brooklyn Bridge or the London Bridge. Thinking back, I now recall I wanted to cross the London Bridge when I was there in 1969, but it was closed.

I think this is the one I actually walked across:

Tower Bridge Exhibition - index
Address:http://www.towerbridge.org.uk/TowerBridge/English

[JamesU]

that was 2 lies and a truth :grumpy:

[zoobyshoe]

that was 2 lies and a truth :grumpy:
One lie, one truth, one false memory. 1969 was a looooooooooonnnnnnggggg time ago.

[Evo]

zoob's right, #1 is false, I have been to NY, but I was not on Saturday Night Live.

[JamesU]

My cat has been accused of international possum smuggling.

so this is true?

[zoobyshoe]

I once saw a man catch a tarantula.

I once saw a man catch a python.

I once saw a man catch a shark.

(In person, not on TV or anything.)

[JamesU]

#2 is false

[Evo]

so this is true?Yes, I am afraid it is. My cat, Dr Foofer, became involved in illegal possum smuggling because of this venture (below). It is a well known fact here at PF. :frown:

[zoobyshoe]

Yes, I am afraid it is. My cat, Dr Foofer, became involved in illegal possum smuggling because of this venture (below). It is a well known fact here at PF. :frown:
That's so sad when cats go afoul of the law.

[honestrosewater]

I think zooby's python catcher isn't real.
___
I once saw a crane catch a rattlesnake in my backyard.

My dad is an axe murderer.

I almost joined a gang when I was younger.

[hypnagogue]

I'll say zoob never saw someone catch a shark in person.

And Rose, I HOPE your father isn't an axe murderer, unless that's some sort of pun!

[hypnagogue]

OK, since my first entry is already buried-- I did meet David Chalmers and Steven Pinker, in Tucson at the 2004 Towards a Science of Consciousness convention. (Pinker is an amazingly lucid and well-composed speaker, both on stage and in person.) I didn't meet Dennett, although after sitting down in a large conference hall to hear Pinker's talk, I soon noticed that I happened to be sitting right behind Dennett. He's a big guy.

[EnumaElish]

One of my relatives was married to the Bride of Frankenstein.You're officially related to Frankie and you were afraid of a little snake?

[EnumaElish]

I think zooby's python catcher isn't real.
___

My dad is an axe murderer.

I almost joined a gang when I was younger.#1? Okay, #3?

[hypnagogue]

I'll give another go-round.
_______

I was a co-founder of a video gaming website that eventually attracted 50,000 hits with 40 GB of traffic per day.

I once recited a suggestive limerick with a bad British accent in front of an audience of academics while inebriated.

I can do a fantastic Jerry Seinfield impression.

[zoobyshoe]

I once saw a crane catch a rattlesnake in my backyard.
Just to be perverse, I'm going to pick the one that seems most likely true as my choice for the one that is false.

[zoobyshoe]

I can do a fantastic Jerry Seinfield impression.
Something about you strikes me as you being the kind of person who can't do a fantastic impression of anyone. I'll say this is false.

[Townsend]

Something about you strikes me as you being the kind of person who can't do a fantastic impression of anyone. I'll say this is false.

Can't be.....that would be way too hard to come up with...

[zoobyshoe]

Can't be.....that would be way too hard to come up with...
Yeah...I just realized that all that's necessary for it to be true is for him to think he can do it.

[EnumaElish]

"I can do a fantastic Jerry Seinfield impression"?

[honestrosewater]

I never saw a crane catch a rattlesnake in my backyard. But I did see a crane catch a black racer in my backyard. It flew away with it dangling from its beak.

I once recited a suggestive limerick with a bad British accent in front of an audience of academics while inebriated.Who hasn't?
I think you do a Simpsons-related impression. No Seinfeld.

I wish I had seen your first one. I would have guessed that you didn't meet Dennett.

[hypnagogue]

So your dad is an axe murderer? (Wasn't that a movie?) You got some 'splainin to do!

[zoobyshoe]

So your dad is an axe murderer? (Wasn't that a movie?) You got some 'splainin to do!
Yeah. You can't just drop a bomb like that and act nonchalant.

[zoobyshoe]

Incidentally, you were all wrong:

#2 is false
I think zooby's python catcher isn't real.
I'll say zoob never saw someone catch a shark in person.

The python was an escaped pet, about three feet long, and was apprehended by, of all people, a guy named Monty, after having been at large for three days in the bushes around the house from whence it escaped.

The shark was a baby blue shark, about a foot long, that a guy caught with a normal rod and reel off the pier at Ocean Beach here in San Diego.

[honestrosewater]

So your dad is an axe murderer? (Wasn't that a movie?) You got some 'splainin to do!I knew that was a bad idea (it was so perfect though). He's in prison, if it makes you feel better. It's a long story and happened a long time ago. My dad broke into our house with a knife and roofing hatchet (a small axe), attacked my mom, and my stepdad woke up and was killed saving her. Eh, maybe I shouldn't talk about it. On with the game. Seinfeld or no?

[honestrosewater]

The python was an escaped pet, about three feet long, and was apprehended by, of all people, a guy named Monty,That can't be true. I still think this one's a lie.

[zoobyshoe]

I knew that was a bad idea (it was so perfect though).
It was perfect. Too outlandish to be true. That's why I suspected it was true. You almost joining a gang also seemed outlandish. So, I got the feeling the most plausible choice must be the false one in this case.

[hypnagogue]

My apologies and sympathies, Rose.

[zoobyshoe]

That can't be true. I still think this one's a lie.
It is absolutely true. The local paper even did a little paragraph about it called something like "Monty and the Python". Everyone got a kick out of it.

[hypnagogue]

Yeah, I guess it was a bit obvious-- I don't do a fantastic Seinfield. It's more like a bad caricature, but it's good for laughs sometimes. However, contra zooby's impression, I can do some impressions pretty well. I can do a dead-ringer for Ray Romano. I can also do an excellent "ominous voiceover for a movie commercial" impression. My British accent(s) is more in the bad caricature category, but at least it makes me laugh!

[EnumaElish]

When 9/11 happened, I was in an airplane.
I was airborne at midnight, on Y2K new year's eve (00:00 hours January 1st, 2000).
A small town I lived in had its own currency.

Anyone?

[zoobyshoe]

When 9/11 happened, I was in an airplane.
I was airborne at midnight, on Y2K new year's eve (00:00 hours January 1st, 2000).
A small town I lived in had its own currency.
Interesting selection. All plausible. However, I am going to chose #1, the 9/11 plane ride, as the false one.

[honestrosewater]

My apologies and sympathies, Rose.Thanks. :smile:

I was airborne at midnight, on Y2K new year's eve (00:00 hours January 1st, 2000).Lie.

[zoobyshoe]

I can do a dead-ringer for Ray Romano.


I can also do an excellent "ominous voiceover for a movie commercial" impression.


My British accent(s) is more in the bad caricature category, but at least it makes me laugh!
Again, I think any claims of excellence in impressions by hypnagogue is probably false, so I pick # 1 as the bigger lie.

[hypnagogue]

I want to say the currency one is false, but that seems like a tough one to come up with out of thin air. I'll say the second airplane anecdote is false.

[EnumaElish]

I was airborne at midnight, on Y2K new year's eve (00:00 hours January 1st, 2000).Lie.I'll say the second airplane anecdote is false.You are both right! That was my brother. :smile:

[hypnagogue]

Again, I think any claims of excellence in impressions by hypnagogue is probably false, so I pick # 1 as the bigger lie.
I kid you not, my Ray Romano skills (and the movie voiceover impression) have been verified by several independent parties! And it's also not a lie that my British accent is pretty caricature-y, though it seems to me some people really do talk like that. Anyway, to compound the silly accent, when I went up to recite my limerick I announced I'd be doing it in a British accent to make the rhyme scheme work and also because "British accents are funny," which elicited a smattering of hisses and boos from the crowd (a fair amount of Brits there I suppose). Susan Blackmore, sitting in the front row, stood up pointing an accusatory finger and proclaimed "I say boo!" I wish I would have snapped back "Do behave!" but I'm not that quick.

[zoobyshoe]

I kid you not, my Ray Romano skills (and the movie voiceover impression) have been verified by several independent parties!
How much did this verification cost?

[hypnagogue]

Free I say, free as the wind.

[zoobyshoe]

I once put grass in the microwave to see if I could get the nodes to explode.

I once cut a grape in two and put it in the microwave to see if it would spark.

I once put a colored pencil in the microwave to see if I could melt the "lead."

[ItNotYourFault]

I say #3 is false

-yomamma

[hypnagogue]

I once put grass in the microwave to see if I could get the nodes to explode.
Lies, damn lies.

[honestrosewater]

Someone here did the grape one. Everyone knows you can melt the coloring part of a colored pencil. :rolleyes: Grass gets my vote. Hm, or maybe zoobies don't know about the colored pencil thing... I give up.

[JamesU]

I've put grass in he microwave before...

[zoobyshoe]

Yomamma is correct. I have never put a colored pencil in the microwave. The ones I have are prismacolors, for artists, and cost 1.29 apiece, before taxes. It would be dumb to melt one for the hell of it.

[honestrosewater]

Yomamma is correct. I have never put a colored pencil in the microwave. The ones I have are prismacolors, for artists, and cost 1.29 apiece, before taxes. It would be dumb to melt one for the hell of it. :rofl: That's what I meant. Seriously, I just confused myself during that sentence somehow.

I have never seen the Pamela and Tommy Lee video.

I'm becoming rather smitten with someone on PF (but doing my best to resist).

In 7th grade, I pretended not to understand anything in math class so that I could spend extra time with my hot math teacher.

[zoobyshoe]

#1 is prolly false.

[hypnagogue]

Yeah I'll say #1 as well.

[zoobyshoe]

And her crush is on you.

HRW, since you haven't seen the lee/Anderson video, would you like to go watch it with

A.) Hypnagogue?

B.) Loseyourname?

[Math Is Hard]

try this one...

1) I was the lead guitarist in an all-girl heavy-metal band.
2) I have tasted cat food.
3) I got an A+ in calculus.

[hypnagogue]

You have not tasted cat food, you've merely been subjected to its pungent odors.

[zoobyshoe]

zooby, I think you're being too subtle. :tongue2:

Wow. What'd you do wrong?

Anyway, I adore hypnagogue and loseyourname. This other person just presses some different buttons. :smile: Happy? You'll never guess anyway.

[Math Is Hard]

Nice guesses, y'all!! #1 is false for my statements. I was actually the bass player in that band. And the cat-food I sampled was Meow Mix. (I just had to know!!)

3) I got an A+ in calculus.
i see the no.# 2 false.

Not without a list to guess from. No more than 20 names, please.

huh? :uhh:

[zoobyshoe]

A quick google reveals there is a gurkhawarhorse listed as a mentor at www.warhorses.com, so the lie must be #1.

[gurkhawarhorse]

#1 is lie.

[gurkhawarhorse]

i was not banned but gurkhawarhorse didnt work for few days as HRW said

[Math Is Hard]

So...how many stars?
It was extremely bland. Mostly, I attribute it to the lack of salt. Of course, kitties would not have developed a taste for that. But I also couldn't detect a familiar or appealing flavor - the smell was a little bit like fresh clay. I was genuinely interested in how something formulated specifically for a feline palate would taste to a human being. You would think it would be more similar since kitties always gobble up table scraps and milk and things that we like!

[zoobyshoe]

Hmmm...I'll have to try some. I don't like that clay smell part. May have to look around for something more appealing for the kitties.

I can't play basketball in my regular sneakers. I have a history of bad ankle sprains so I have to wear high tops, so I have a separate pair that I only wear for basketball. I once sprained one of my ankles so badly that I almost required surgery on it and was on crutches for months, literally. I still wear an ankle brace on that one whenever I play in addition to the high tops.

I was NOT kicked out of the boy scouts, I was a good boy!
My mum took me out to see operas and ballets when I was 12-13; I loved it, and have never seen the point of going on a live rock concert.
I left the scouts when I was 17 and subsequently got f***** instead.

[zoobyshoe]

I used to make my own wine.

I used to bake my own bread.

I used to make my own car repair tools.

[gurkhawarhorse]

# 3 indeed

[arildno]

I used to bake my own bread.
I think you prefer others to do this for you.

[hypnagogue]

I used to make my own wine.
psst... I guess I shouldn't link to it, but if you sniff around you can find a funny article (somewhere) about making wine with moldy bread and socks.

I used to make my own car repair tools.
This is indeed dubious, but its dubiety is too out of proportion with the other choices. Therefore, I'll guess that you never made your own wine.

[zoobyshoe]

I have never made my own wine. I haven't drunk in like 25 years anyway.

I machined a "pickle fork" for separating ball joints at the machine shop where I worked cause I was too cheap to buy one, and later made a steering wheel puller for a guy I know.

[cefarix]

OK, so number 3 was false. I made it a bit obvious didn't I? :tongue2:

Try this instead:
1. I have four sisters.
2. I have had seizures.
3. I have twenty-four cousins.

Pick the false one, and win a prize!

[arildno]

I think 1. is false.

[arildno]

Youve been mentioning penises (penii?) quite a bit now.. whats the deal?
The plural is penes, damn it!
Two different threads and STILL not the correct plural:
Penes, penes, the correct form is:
PENES!!!!!!
It isn't that hard, is it? :grumpy:

[honestrosewater]

It isn't that hard, is it? :grumpy: :rofl: Ahem.

I'm going with
3. I have twenty-four cousins.just to be different.

[gurkhawarhorse]

well try this then
#my grandfather had 5 wives
#he had 52 children in total
#both above are false, its not my grandfather but my father!!!

[gurkhawarhorse]

2 minutes of ignorance!!!:grumpy:
its not that hard, try it.

[arildno]

well try this then
#my grandfather had 5 wives
#he had 52 children in total
#both above are false, its not my grandfather but my father!!!
Since two of the statements must be true, the last statement must be the false one.

[gurkhawarhorse]

what if all r true? :wink:

[honestrosewater]

Oh, the boy scout beat me to it. :grumpy:

[cefarix]

number 3 is false, because if it were true, then either one or two would also be true, but 3 being true would say that one and two are false, so it would be a contradiction
the only way to resolve the paradox is to say number 3 is the false one and numbers 1 and 2 are correct :smile:

edit: arr u beat me to it too

[honestrosewater]

what if all r true? :wink:Then you have a very strange family. :tongue2:

[gurkhawarhorse]

ok i admit i am the plural of penis. its my grandad.

[arildno]

ok i admit i am the plural of penis. its my grandad.
No person can be the plural of penis, gurkh.
You may, of course, brag about your racing steed or your cucumber warhorse if you like. But do not try to oust the penes from this world, just because you want to become a plural.

1. The middle finger of my right hand is bent towards the right (if the hand is viewed palm-down from above) due to exerting too much force on it playing guitar with a plectrum for 15 years (on and off, not non-stop).
2. My left knee is one and a half inches higher than my right knee.
3. I have only one interesting thing I can say about myself.

[hypnagogue]

Nope, I am addicted to nicotine, unfortunately. I started using it as a teenager to potentiate the effects of other substances, but didn't become addicted for years, until I started buying my own packs. Nowadays I only partake in caffeine and nicotine (and once in a blue moon I'll have a drink); unfortunately, nicotine remains with me as a kind of addictive residue from previous activities.

I love caffeine but I'm not addicted to it-- it's not uncommon for me to go through a whole day or series of days without drinking caffeine, and sometimes when a full pot is sitting there I won't be in the mood for any so I won't have any. So it's not a compulsory habit, but more something I take in with a purpose in mind (work or recreation or balancing out my sleeping schedule, which is always being thrown off on account of my night owl tendencies).

edit: Although I did once start to become addicted after going on a days-long binge of the greatest soft drink ever created, Bawls, which contains guarana caffeine. After the supply ran out I noticed I was unusually lethargic and rather dysphoric, though I got over it pretty quickly. As luck would have it, I just discovered my girlfriend has ordered another batch, plus caffeinated mints...

I am definitely addicted to PF, and I mean in the stronger sense of the word, i.e. sometimes it's bad for me to spend so much time here when I should be doing other stuff.

I have never been to a rap concert (true)

P.S. So you never kissed a woman on the cheek? On the forehead? Never kissed your mom? Grandma? A sister, cousin or niece?

[EnumaElish]

I demand a recount! Or, better still, a re-enactment! :smile:

[zoobyshoe]

I am a virgin.

I've never been married.

I've never danced "hip hop."

[zoobyshoe]

I demand a recount! Or, better still, a re-enactment! :smile:
Well, I guess we've discovered what you find exiting.

[hypnagogue]

I am a virgin.
No you're not. Females can't resist those musky zooby pheremones.

[hypnagogue]

Well, I guess we've discovered what you find exiting.
A stairwell? A street corner? The great outdoors?

[Entropy]

I am a virgin.

I've never been married.

I've never danced "hip hop."

1. True, definately! jk... :wink:

2. True.

3. False.

[whozum]

I am a virgin.

I've never been married.

I've never danced "hip hop."
#3 isnt true

[hypnagogue]

I can't find "stodgery" in the webster's.
That's odd. I guess it's a mix between codger and scrooge (?). I thought it was a word though.

Did you try anagramizing Nikola?
Lion, AK: A small, middle of nowhere town in Alaska. Population: 12. Don't bother trying to look it up, you won't find it.

OK, nail: as in, now that we've done the mandatory checkups and furnishings, you may commence driving the nail into the surface of interest with your hammering tool.

[zoobyshoe]

No you're not. Females can't resist those musky zooby pheremones.
You are correct, sir! #1 is false.

Zoobies cannot articulate their fingers into "gang signs" therefore, we avoid "rap" and "hip hop" and all that stuff.

1. My favorite color is blue.

2. I had pizza for diner.

3. I have cuts on the bottom of my feet.

[zoobyshoe]

well, I'll just flip my three-sided coin and say you didn't have pizza.

[Entropy]

Nope, I had two slices of pizza and a salade for diner, followed by cookies and milk for dessert. :biggrin:

[zoobyshoe]

Now you've eliminated one for the next guesser.

[JamesU]

his favorite color is not blue, because blue means that you're a normal member

[Entropy]

yomamma is indead correct! My favorite color is clear.

[zoobyshoe]

indead correct!
This must be a hybrid of "dead on" and "correct".

[JamesU]

wow...what a favorite color

okay

My favorite color is red
I had Wendy's for dinner
I have a dag named ash

[Entropy]

I have a dag named ash

I think you mean "dog." I can't stand people who don't spell correctly. :devil: :biggrin:

I think ash is doggerel. You frequently mention a cat.

1. i once didn't eat for a week because my parents refused to let me until i cleaned my room.
2. i've never had a internet boyfriend, but i dated a girl online once.
3. i memorized a hundred didgets of pi to join a pi club so i could meet guys.

[EnumaElish]

Well, I guess we've discovered what you find exiting.I am serious about the question being a truism. I mean, who hasn't kissed another female? (Although someone might never have kissed a female romantically, of course -- as some of the males who have been posting under this thread can testify to, I am sure.)

[zoobyshoe]

2. i've never had a internet boyfriend, but i dated a girl online once.
Since you have an internet husband, he was probably first an internet boy friend, so I'll say this one's false.

[EnumaElish]

i memorized a hundred didgets of pi to join a pi club so i could meet guys.Lie! (Everyone knows pi has less than 100 memorable digits.)

[zoobyshoe]

I am serious about the question being a truism. I mean, who hasn't kissed another female? (Although someone might never have kissed a female romantically, of course -- as some of the males who have been posting under this thread can testify to, I am sure.)
Don't try to fool me with this slapped together rationalization. You requested a reenactment!

[mattmns]

I think 1 is false for Gale.

[whozum]

1. I've never been to a concert
2. I've never been to a high school football game
3. I've never been to church

[EnumaElish]

Don't try to fool me with this slapped together rationalization. You requested a reenactment!So everyone can be clear about the meaning, is all. (Clear is my favorite state of mind. I am not sure it's much of a color, though.)

So if she turned out to have meant it in the romantic sense, I'd have concurred. But if it turned out to be non-romantic, I'd challenge the result.

[EnumaElish]

2. I've never been to a high school football gameLie! Right?

[Gale]

1. (false) my parents refused to feed me and my sister, (we shared a room) but we'd sneak out late at night to the kitchen and get food, we held off for a week, pretending we were starving, but my sister finally caved and cleaned the room. i, however, would've gone ages.

2. (true) whozum refuses to do the online dating thing... so... nope, never had a bf. though, once i met a girl, and decided it was easiest to test out if i was gay online... it didn't last long.

3. (true) i memorized a 100 didgets, and i joined the stupid club, and the guys... go figure, we're just too geeky. didn't work out so well. i only know like the first 10 now.

[Gale]

and i think whozum's been to a concert. 1 is a lie.

[whozum]

1. (true) I've never been to a concert

2. (false) I watched my brother play a couple games when he was in high school

3. (true) I've been in a church but never attended a church event of any kind.

[zoobyshoe]

1. (false) my parents refused to feed me and my sister...
They could've been arrested for this. But that would've just put you and your sister in the system.

Once, a flying squirrel got into my house.

Once, a possum got into my house.

Once, a skunk got into my house.

(true) I've been in a church but never attended a church event of any kind.But you said "I have never been to a church." YOU should have said "never attended to a religious event at a church."

[EnumaElish]

Once, a possum got into my house.Lie! (I hope.)

[whozum]

But you said "I have never been to a church." YOU should have said "never attended to a religious event at a church."

I said never been to church, going to church is kinda implied that youre going for a reason, an event. If I said never been to A church, then yes you're right.

[EnumaElish]

1. When I was a toddler my hand got stuck on the red-hot range.
2. I didn't eat anything other than mother's milk until I was 4 years old.
3. I love milk but hate yogurt and soymilk.

I said never been to church, going to church is kinda implied that youre going for a reason, an event. If I said never been to A church, then yes you're right.(Checks whozum's original post.) Okay, my mistake.

[Math Is Hard]

*still chuckling at Gale being a temporary e-lesbian* :rofl:

Zooby, you never had a flying squirrel in your brush shelter.

Enuma, I really hope #1 is the the lie!!! :surprised

[Entropy]

1. When I was a toddler my hand got stuck on the red-hot range.
2. I didn't eat anything other than mother's milk until I was 4 years old.
3. I love milk but hate yogurt and soymilk.

#2 is false. Least of hope so for your mom's breasts' sake. You'd practically deflat them.

[EnumaElish]

#3 was false: I am (have become) probably lactose intolerant.

But my perspective on breastfeeding has not changed since I was born -- it's our birthright. :smile:

P.S. I don't remember the accident with the range so it must be okay. (Not that I remember sucking mom dry, of course. I can only assume that I found it a natural, highly pleasurable and full-filling experience.) :smile:

Well, I've had a possum in my house, Tsu & Ivan had skunks in theirs, so zooby should have a flying squirrel. I say he didn't have a possum. Only really special people get a house possum. :biggrin:

[zoobyshoe]

Lie! (I hope.)
Correct. I've never had a breaking and entering by a possum.
Zooby, you never had a flying squirrel in your brush shelter.
The flying squirrel incident took place in N.H. back when I was a young zoobie.

Zooby, if you need a possum, I know where you can get one. I have connections...

No, that's OK. I'm not going to just flush 15 years of Possum Obsessive's Anonymous meetings down the toilet.

Evo was also correct, everyone!You were also supposed to write "Evo is special" in large letters. :approve:

They're kinda like a cross between a rat and a barn owl: a giant rat with a barn owl's eyes. Part monkey also: opposable thumbs fore and aft.

[EnumaElish]

Part monkey also: opposable thumbs fore and aft.Really?! Isn't that more consistent with climbing trees, as in monkeys?

[zoobyshoe]

Really?! Isn't that more consistent with climbing trees, as in monkeys?
I do believe possums can climb trees, yes.

[EnumaElish]

A little like a bear, no? You can't run, swim, or climb. Wonder what Evo did to get rid of it.

True, and they exhale deadly HCl gas, and they can jump 30 feet straight up, and they can open beer cans with their little hands, and they understand the concept of the US postal service and often mail themselves around the country.

[zoobyshoe]

MIH, look, aren't they adorable.

If i was three years older i'd be three years behind my classmates

This is not a very good way to go about things.

You shouldn't say you are ahead of everyone. I've experienced getting ahead and then later noticing I've left a lot behind.

In the end, don't get ahead of yourself.

Note: I'm still moving my way up, but I'm doing it with some new perspective.

Fair enough, I'm used to that sort of thing by now anyway.

[EnumaElish]

That's right, they're marsupial.What does that make their closest living relatives? Are rats marsupials? And what's so special about the tail? It's kind of like a rat's tail.

[EnumaElish]

1. I was house broken by a tiny, cute mouse which I killed with a snow shovel
2. I was house broken by a tiny, cute mouse which became adopted (creatively named "Mouse")
3. I was house broken by a tiny, cute mouse that got itself into a bottle of olive oil and pickled for days before being discovered ("Dear, do you remember that you thought the vegan salad tasted a little bacon-like? Well, guess what, there was a reason for it.")

[Math Is Hard]

What does that make their closest living relatives? Are rats marsupials? And what's so special about the tail? It's kind of like a rat's tail.
Rats are rodents. Possums can wrap their tails around tree branches and it helps them hang on. It's kinda like having a fifth limb.

No, Hypnagogue guessed correctly.

Plus, you didn't guess on this one:

I have two record players.

I have two electric fans.

I have two telephones.

[honestrosewater]

No, Hypnagogue guessed correctly.You don't need to put on a show for us, zooby. We love you unconditionally. :smile:
Plus, you didn't guess on this one:You didn't guess mine either. :tongue2:

Hm, I imagine you would have at least two record players. But the others are a toss-up. I say you have no electric fans.

[Lisa!]

Rose, you don't help us to find the answer?

You better not despise using toilet paper. What do you use? On the other hand, if you can't crap without taking your shirt off, you're one weird dude. Nice theme to the post, by the way.

[honestrosewater]

3. I despise using toilet paper.Well, I can think of a rational explanation for this one, so I say it's a lie.

[loseyourname]

Let's see:

1. When I was 21, I married a woman 8 years older than me on our first date.
2. I've been on a television game show.
3. My sister is a professional model.

[loseyourname]

Thank you, which was the lie?

The third. Sorry for not being clear.

Actually, 2 is ture, not flase. It is not that amazing actually. In Tosca, there is a Church Processional where dozens of Church officials walk on stage. I was among these. I was a sub-deacon in the Catholic Church. Some role for a Jew, huh? I walked on stage, the curtain came down, and the house came to its feet and cheered. Oh, and Robert Merrill sung good too.

2. Once my hair was purple
3. EnumaElish is not my real name

[zoobyshoe]

#3 is false.

[gurkhawarhorse]

enuma elish is your name, isnt it?

[Jimmy Snyder]

What position?
(I love it when people ask me that!)
Bass Sax. Some 40 years ago, the Eagles used to have a marching band that played during half-time, etc. At that time, my brother owned the only Bass Sax in existance in the Delaware Valley and could play it well so he was able to join any band he wanted.

By the way, I took the GRE test along with the specialized Math test after completing three years worth of undergraduate credits in two years. On the basis of those test results, Temple U. accepted me into the Math graduate program even though I didn't have an undergraduate degree. I got my Master's in a year and a half, so after 3 and a half years of university education I had a Master's degree, but no Bachelors.

[EnumaElish]

enuma elish is your name, isnt it?What do you think are the chances? (http://www.mindspring.com/~mysticgryphon/enuma.htm)

[gurkhawarhorse]

huh?
bible?
genesis?
i have no knowledge on bible
and your name. :confused:

[arildno]

1. I think Sean Connery is sexy
2. I think Harrison Ford is sexy
3. I think Leonardo di Caprio is sexy.

[gurkhawarhorse]

# 3 is true. that is what i know.

[Gokul43201]

Arildno : #3 HAS to be false.

Lisa! and rose caught my lie. My ratio is just under 1, but I hope to remedy that in the next 3 years.

[honestrosewater]

3. I think Leonardo di Caprio is sexy.Lie. (I will lose all respect for you otherwise.) He looks too much like Orlando.

[zoobyshoe]

Parents name their kids all kinds of strange things. "Moon Unit Zappa" comes to mind.

[arildno]

gurkh: I don't share your taste in men, evidently.
Gokul&HrW are right.

[zoobyshoe]

I frequently have the desire to post three lies.

I frequently have the desire to post three truths.

I frequently have the desire to post two lies and a truth.

-----
Edit: switched last one around.

[arildno]

Have you indulged in any of your strange desires lately, zoob (for example when you wrote your last post)?

[zoobyshoe]

Have you indulged in any of your strange desires lately, zoob (for example when you wrote your last post)?
No. I have been strictly following the rules.

[EnumaElish]

Parents name their kids all kinds of strange things. "Moon Unit Zappa" comes to mind.Okay, you are right I guess. No, that's not my real name. OTOH, I've never colored my hair, let alone purple.

[honestrosewater]

I frequently have the desire to post two lies and a truth.False. You only do so as a compromise. Poor zoobie.

[mattmns]

Yeah I agree with hrw for zoob's

[zoobyshoe]

You're both wrong. It is much easier to confabulate than it is to think up true things which are interesting, therefore I often have to stop myself from posting three, or two lies.

#2 is false. I haven't once been tempted to post all truths.

[loseyourname]

Lie...................

Actually, that one is true. I was on Kid Quiz when I was twelve.

[loseyourname]

Don't you mean you proposed to her on the first date? Unless you were in Vegas or something?

Anyway, I'll guess that


is false.

Wrong on both counts. We did go to Vegas, and I have been on a game show.

[loseyourname]

Anyway, these are getting back a bit, so I'll just answer them.

Let's see:

1. When I was 21, I married a woman 8 years older than me on our first date.
2. I've been on a television game show.
3. My sister is a professional model.

3 is false. My sister was a professional model when she was an adolescent, but she is no longer.

Three more (because this is kinda fun)

1. I once performed naked onstage.
2. My mother had her graduation present taken away for dating a guy that wasn't white (my father).
3. I've run a sub-4:30 mile.

3 is again false, although I have come very close.

[mattmns]

I have never smoked marijuanna
I have never slept with twins (simultaneously)
I have never been outside the country (US)

Here is the way around it zoob. Just negate 2 false statements :smile:

[whozum]

The answer to mine way back when was #1, I can pee standing up.

[Lisa!]

How do they see how short you are over the phone?
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :wink:

[Lisa!]

Lisa! and rose caught my lie.
That says something! :wink: By the way, you're not :mad: at me
anymore, am I right?! o:)

[zoobyshoe]

I have never smoked marijuanna
I have never slept with twins (simultaneously)
I have never been outside the country (US)

Here is the way around it zoob. Just negate 2 false statements :smile:
I get your drift. Good thinkin'.

I think #3 is false.

[gurkhawarhorse]

tyr this
i have done pot
i have used a gun; a real one
i have had a gang fight

[Lisa!]

#2 is false!

[gurkhawarhorse]

why do u think that i cant use a ghun when my brother is a gurkha?:confused:
but u could be right.:biggrin:

[Lisa!]

You mean I'm not right?

[gurkhawarhorse]

no u r right.
i havent used a gun.
i suck at lying.

[Lisa!]

Good for you!

[mattmns]

You were correct Zoob! I was once in Mexico for about an hour.

[zoobyshoe]

You were correct Zoob! I was once in Mexico for about an hour.
That means, someday, when the time is right, you must tell the twin story.

I often go to the beach here (Pacific Ocean - San Diego) but:

I've never seen the lifeguards rescue anyone.

I've never tried surfing.

I've never gotten a full frontal view of a topless sunbathing woman.

[gurkhawarhorse]

Good for you!

:confused::confused::confused:


why?

[EnumaElish]

I've never gotten a full frontal view of a topless woman.I hope this is the lie, for your own sake!
:smile: Otherwise we may need to ask the PF Sisterhood to provide a Full Frontal Toplass View.

P.S. Fun fact of the day: The "PF" in "PF Sisterhood" stands for Partial Frontal.

[zoobyshoe]

I hope this is the lie, for your own sake!
:smile: Otherwise we may need to ask the PF Sisterhood to provide a Full Frontal Toplass View.
I'd accept, even if that's not the lie.

Notice though, all the statements apply to things that have or haven't happened at the beach.

[Lisa!]

:confused::confused::confused:


why?
Because you're not good at lies!

[gurkhawarhorse]

my brother actually used to bring guns home after training and i have played with it, when it has no bullets. if it had silencer i would have done few fires but it didnt have so i couldnt.

[Lisa!]

You didn't need that! When you have a gun in your hand, who dares to tell you anything unpleasantly! :devil:

[gurkhawarhorse]

cmmon, i wouldnt point it at someone, not even when it is not loaded!
only when it aint got no bullets:biggrin:

#1 is false

[gurkhawarhorse]

#3 has to be false
even i have

[zoobyshoe]

#1 is false
Lisa is correct. I have seen five or six rescues.

Sunbathing women frequently undo their bikini tops when lying on their stomachs so they don't get a tan line on their back. However, I have never seen one forget to refasten it before getting up. There is always hope.

[honestrosewater]

Ha, I was thinking that you tried surfing and had to be rescued... :biggrin:

:rofl:

[Lisa!]

Never asked to leave the classroom
used to eat bananas
Dislike milk

[gurkhawarhorse]

#1 is false

[zoobyshoe]

I think #2 is false. Lisa once said she didn't like bananas.

[gurkhawarhorse]

well #2 could be but has she never asked to go out of the classroom? not even for a pee? she mush have done it, at least once.

[Lisa!]

Yeah, Zooby! I dislike bananas but I used to eat them! :yuck:

#1 is false
That's right! :blushing: Only once when I was 8 and didn't do anything wrong! :cry:

[Lisa!]

Oops, I meant "been asked to leave the classroom"

[gurkhawarhorse]

yay!!! this is my first right guess.:blushing:

Oops, I meant "been asked to leave the classroom"

oops, still i got the right one. yay!!! :redface: :biggrin:

Not really! Because I know you misunderstood me! Anyway Congratulations!

[honestrosewater]

Where did everyone go? You can't handle the truth!?! :biggrin:

[Monique]

ok, here we go again:

1. I sent my parents on an all-expenses paid vacation
2. my vacation next week is going to be crappy

2. Blatant, unashamed lie
3. True

[Smurf]

I've never done Shrooms
I've never done Marijuana
I've never drank alcohol

[pattylou]

Easy Peasy, Smurf.

here's mine:

1. I've been clinically dead.

2. My sister's in the space program.

3. I've seen UFO's.

[Smurf]

3 is false, but you probably think it's true, and 2 is also false.

What's the answer then if it's so easy?

[EnumaElish]

You've seen UFO's -- NOT!

[pattylou]

Hey - this is fun.

the answer is you have done shrooms but nothing else because shrooms are natural where you grew up and you're an environmantalist.

[Evo]

For pattylou I say #1.

Everyone has seen a UFO. UFO's don't have to be extraterrestrial.

those are good btw

[Smurf]

Hey - this is fun.

the answer is you have done shrooms but nothing else because shrooms are natural where you grew up and you're an environmantalist.
Actually the shrooms one is the only thing that's true on that list. :biggrin: :approve: :tongue2: :tongue: :rofl: :wink: :rolleyes: o:)

[pattylou]

Well, then, you cheated. It's called two truths and a lie.

[pattylou]

Evo, you're too smart. :)

[EnumaElish]

Evo, you're too smart. :)Do you mean, she is very smart because she knew? Or is she too smart as in "you would've known if you didn't have to be too smart, lady"?

[pattylou]

Wouldn't you like to know?

[Smurf]

Well, then, you cheated. It's called two truths and a lie.
That doesn't make you any less wrong. :biggrin:

[whozum]

This sentence is true
This sentence is false
One of these sentences is false

[Smurf]

This sentence is false
False. Far too easy whozum, come on your not even trying. yes I'm aware of the logical paradox

[pattylou]

That doesn't make you any less wrong. :biggrin:
Does so. Shrooms are a separate set from (alcohol and weed.) If you have to pick one, you pick shrooms. If you have to pick two, it's alcohol and weed.

[Smurf]

Does so. Shrooms are a separate set from (alcohol and weed.) If you have to pick one, you pick shrooms. If you have to pick two, it's alcohol and weed.
:confused: What? Patty that doesn't make any sense.

[Moonbear]

Okay, I'll do a simple one:
1) I've lived in New Jersey.
2) I've lived in Pennsylvania.
3) I've lived in Michigan.

[Smurf]

2) I've lived in Pennsylvania.
3) I've lived in Michigan.
It's one of these 2, I think i'll go with Michigan as the lie.

[pattylou]

:confused: What? Patty that doesn't make any sense.
You're probably right.

I was talking about availability.

[Moonbear]

It's one of these 2, I think i'll go with Michigan as the lie.
Nope, Pennsylvania was the lie. I skipped right over that state. :rofl:

[EnumaElish]

Nope, Pennsylvania was the lie. I skipped right over that state. :rofl:Oh, I knew it was PA if it wasn't MI... or NJ.

[EnumaElish]

This sentence is true
This sentence is false
One of these sentences is falseIs there a logical solution to this? If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false.

[whozum]

False. Far too easy whozum, come on your not even trying. yes I'm aware of the logical paradox


Funny you say that.

Is there a logical solution to this? If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false.

Thats one of the solutions, the cool thing is, all 3 can be the false one.

First way, #1 is false,
then #2 can be true, and #3 is true because #1 is false.

Second way, #2 is false, #1 is true, so #3 is true because #2 is false.

Third way #3 is false, which means the first two are true.

HA Smurf, guess YOU are the one not even trying!

[Smurf]

HA Smurf, guess YOU are the one not even trying!
you don't review your posts do you? :tongue:

[mattmns]

whozum, according to your logic, smurf is correct. He chose the right answer, as they were all right :smile:

[EnumaElish]

If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false. Doesn't that imply a contradiction either way? I wish HRW was here to shine her candlelight on this.

[whozum]

If #2 is false, then it's true. OTOH if #2 is true then it's false. Doesn't that imply a contradiction either way? I wish HRW was here to shine her candlelight on this.

I've slept 3 hours in the last 48, spare me. :cry:


I mean't if the statement is false, which means that the statement is true, hehe.

Ok I will post mine:
I own 7 2pac albums (true: I own every cd released while he was alive + 7 day theory and Greatest hits).
I have never been to a rap concert (true)
Every rap cd I own was released originally in 90s (false: I own one rap cd that was not made in the 90s - Dr. Dre's 2001).
Hmm brought back to life. I am actually wrong here: Dr Dre's 2001 was released in 1999 :surprised Sorry :redface:

Actually it's true, but not in the way you think. We examined live chick embryos in my bio class. They were doomed to die, but we were able to keep them alive a little longer by putting our fingers on their tiny hearts:cry: This would go on for a few minutes - hearts stop - finger warms em and starts em - heart stops...Eventually, we had to let them go and wash em down the drain.:frown:

Laminated Doll is correct. I was invited to try out the attractions at DCA before it opened, but I declined when my date cancelled on me.

The horror film I was in was a student film that was never distributed, but it was still a film.

[zoobyshoe]

Actually it's true,
No, it's false. You're saying it's true because you're a pathological liar.

[eax]

I walk around in circles for no reason

#1 is true, although I wouldn't admit to having seen any of them. You young guys wouldn't have seen them, though - you have to be over 18 to rent them from video store.

#3 is true. Danger lives in Canada. An eight-hour shift can easily turn into a 143-hour shift in the winter.

#2 is technically false. The dog was the passenger in the rocket and was never seen again. It may still be alive.

Nobody finished it!
Is #1 or #2 the lie?

[Danger]

BobG, you are entirely too astute for your own good.:tongue:

[BobG]

I'll do one.

Incredible feats:

1) I threw a tarp over a jacuzzi (without securing it to anything) and walked across the jacuzzi without getting wet.
2) I put two packs of matches in my pocket and lit both books simultaneously on the upstroke of a yo-yo.
3) I smoked a cigarette while standing in a puddle of methanol and lived to tell about it.

[Gale]

number three is obviously a lie... i don't think you lived to tell about it

[Ba]

I just found this thread. Let's see,

I've been swimming in the ocean off Alaska for fun.
I hiked from 23 miles in six hours and ended up half an hour late for work.
I've climbed the Nose of El Capitan in three days.

[BobG]

number three is obviously a lie... i don't think you lived to tell about it
No. Number 3 is true. I used to work in a plant that bottled methanol products (anti-freeze, windshield washer fluid, dry gas, etc). A hose from a tanker truck to a methanol storage tank had come lose while I was busy patching the hole I had put in the garage door (which meant I was looking up, since I needed access to both sides of the door). I was just looking down to put my cigarette out on the ground when I noticed I was now standing in a puddle. I walked very carefully out of the puddle before putting my cigarette out (so that's what the no-smoking sign meant).

[mattmns]

I think 1 is false for BobG

[JamesU]

#1- tonight I'll be chatting with One of the actors from SAW and SAW II
#2- tonight I'll be chatting with the director, Darren Bouseman of SAW II
#3- I have nothing to do but post these stupid choices

[BobG]

I think 1 is false for BobG
True, it is false.

It's false for two reasons:

I'm not the one who put the tarp over the jacuzzi. Hotel workers covered the jacuzzi during the day so bugs wouldn't dive bomb into it.

I didn't quite make it across without getting wet. I'd originally intended on getting a coke from the vending machine. Unfortunately, I was distracted while walking across the pool area. I was distracted from my distraction by the puzzling fact that the ground ahead of me had suddenly changed shades (light grey to a little darker grey). About midstep I remembered, "The Jacuzzi!!" By that time, it was too late to stop. I figured if I stayed light on my feet and never stayed in the same place for more than an instant, I just might make it across. Well, at least without getting anything but my shoes and socks wet. Except each step just sunk deeper and deeper, but, at least, since I was wearing shorts, getting wet below the knees wouldn't be too bad. Except each step just started to get really deep. About waist deep, I finally admitted the plan wasn't working very well.

Unabashed, I continued walking right up the stairs on the other side and got my coke, then sat down by the pool to dry out. The poor teenager swimming laps had a harder problem dealing with it. He nearly drowned from laughing - about ten or twelve times, no less. At random times during his swim, he would just break down from laughter. It started to get a little annoying after a while.

[Danger]

Bob, I'd picked #2 for being false. What kind of goof carries non-safety matches in his pocket?:tongue:

Any more guesses on mine before I spill it?

[loseyourname]

1) I've committed multiple felonies, but never been arrested.

2) I've impregnated multiple women, but never had any children.

3) I've invented a product that subsequently ended up on the market, but never applied for a patent.

[BobG]

Bob, I'd picked #2 for being false. What kind of goof carries non-safety matches in his pocket?:tongue:
Any more guesses on mine before I spill it?
What are you talking about? I got it right, didn't I?

BobG, you are entirely too astute for your own good.

Okay, then I'll pick #1. I still think a 143 hour security shift due to being snowed in is entirely feasible.

[Danger]

What are you talking about? I got it right, didn't I?
Yeah. I was just giving others a chance to try before admitting it. Your reasoning was what I referred to as 'astute', not the correctness of your guess.:biggrin:
I've never built a model rocket. The movies that I was in were Superman III, Rad, American Harvest (made for TV) and Gunsmoke: Return to Dodge.
I was security chief for the first science fiction convention held in Calgary. I went in Thursday afternoon and left Monday night. The caveat is that I had 2 one-hour naps and 1 two-hour nap somewhere along the line.
