Two Truths & One Lie: Guess My Ancestor!

[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.

 

[whozum]

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]

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

The first one.

 

[Smurf]

Mattmns, you're not half black.

 

[Evo]

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.

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?

Youve been mentioning penises (penii?) quite a bit now.. what's 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.

Gee arn't we modest.

 

[mattmns]

You're right, maybe I should quit being a pervert.

 

[Smurf]

You know what they say. Those who talk the most, have the least.

 

[Evo]

Okay. I've never been to Somalia.

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...

[Smurf]

Ghana and France.

 

[whozum]

This is so true.

 

[zoobyshoe]

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.

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.
