Number 1.DennisN said:Here's my new ones:
1. I've got 6 guitars at home, and one of them is worth about $4000.
2. I've got three keyboards/synthesizers at home.
3. I've got more than 80 loudspeaker drivers at home at the moment.
4. I can play the guitar, bass, piano/keyboard, sing and play drums.
Sorry, it's true. I've got 2 electrical guitars, two acoustic guitars and two bass guitars. Now there's only two choices left, 2 or 4...Psinter said:Number 1.
Correct!Borg said:I'll guess number 4.
Cool.DennisN said:Sorry, it's true. I've got 2 electrical guitars, two acoustic guitars and two bass guitars.
Number 2. If you have, that's awesome!Borg said:OK, here's some facts and a lie about me.
1. I have kissed the Blarney Stone.
2. I have been inside Bilbo Baggins's house.
3. I have seen the Northern Lights - during the day.
4. I once flew from Detroit to Los Angeles first class and flew back first class again on the next return flight - just for the fun of it.
Nope. I've been there.Psinter said:Cool.

Nope. Not that either. My mother worked for an airline when I was in my teens. At that time employees just had to pay for something called a zone tax for the areas where the flight passed. The zone tax was about $25 for a coach flight and double for a first class flight. She asked me one year what I wanted for my birthday so I said that I wanted to fly to LA and back by myself. The flights were on a 747 when the upper deck used to be configured as a lounge. During the first flight, there were 4 stewardesses and 3 passengers in first including myself. I played cards with one of them for most of that flight.DennisN said:Hobbiton, very cool!
Hmm, I'd guess
is a lie.
Cool story!Borg said:She asked me one year what I wanted for my birthday so I said that I wanted to fly to LA and back by myself.
Amazing! :!) I didn't know there were tours.Borg said:Nope. I've been there.
Hobbiton Movie Set Tours
That's correct, I haven't. You're up.lendav_rott said:I suppose you haven't kissed the Blarney Stone.
From the looks of it, the place is in better shape than when I was there after the last of the original three was shot. The story that they told us was that it was supposed to be completely dismantled but bad weather prevented that from happening right away. When they shot the original three films the activities on the farm were treated like Area 51. After filming was over, word of course got out and people started asking the owner to see what was left. One thing led to another and they ended up bringing people by the busload. From what they told us, the Tolken heirs and the studio did not want tours but finally relented. The stipulation was that the landowner could not fix up anything or even paint the homes. This is why my picture shows the homes in a pretty sorry shape when compared to the ones on Tripadvisor. I'm guessing that when the studio came back wanting to film the Hobbit, he got a better agreement.Psinter said:Amazing! :!) I didn't know there were tours.
is a lie.lendav_rott said:4. I don't like any Grand Theft Auto video-game.
lendav_rott said:Meh, screw it, figured a way to catch wifi with my phone
1. I drink a lot of milk, I love it.
Yanick said:I think I remember you mentioning you drive a Celica therefore#3 is a lie :tongue:
Yanick said:Okay I'll give it a go.
1. I was questioned multiple times by the FBI in a mafia investigation.
2. I stopped going to bars/clubs at 21 years of age, the legal drinking age in the US.
3. I cannot do division by hand beyond the simplest of cases.
4. I once entered the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog eating contest and almost won.
Yanick said:Damnit, guess I'm a pretty bad liar. I did enter a pierogi (actually pelmeni, the Russian version) eating contest just down the boardwalk from Nathan's on Coney Island. I came in 4th, which is kind of the same but not as famous. I would've thought that the FBI thing was more unbelievable, I still can't quite wrap my brain around it.
I'm not as interesting as you guys, really had to think hard about some of the odd things that happened to me.
