Discussion Overview

The thread revolves around a game where participants share two truths and one lie about themselves, inviting others to guess which statement is the lie. The discussion includes personal anecdotes, humorous exchanges, and various claims about past experiences and family history.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant claims to have had their own TV show at 16, later correcting it to a radio show.
  • Another participant asserts they were investigated for grand larceny, drove a car over 230 mph, and pitched no-hitters in little league baseball.
  • A different participant shares they have been proposed to three times, had a relative who fixed German trucks in WW2, and spent years in Somalia as a child.
  • Claims about family connections to notable figures, including a relative married to the Bride of Frankenstein and a wealthy ancestor from the late 18th century, are discussed.
  • Participants express skepticism about the feasibility of driving a car at 230 mph and question the truth of various personal claims.
  • One participant mentions holding passports from three countries and ranks in the top 20 of minesweeper expert times.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on which statements are true or false, as participants express differing opinions and guesses about each other's claims. The discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing views.

Contextual Notes

Some claims rely on personal experiences that may not be verifiable, and assumptions about the feasibility of certain statements are debated without resolution.

No you're not. Females can't resist those musky zooby pheremones.

A stairwell? A street corner? The great outdoors?

That's odd. I guess it's a mix between codger and scrooge (?). I thought it was a word though.

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.

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.
 
  • #341
well, I'll just flip my three-sided coin and say you didn't have pizza.
 
  • #342
Nope, I had two slices of pizza and a salade for diner, followed by cookies and milk for dessert. :biggrin:
 
  • #343
Now you've eliminated one for the next guesser.
 
  • #344
his favorite color is not blue, because blue means that you're a normal member
 
  • #345
yomamma is indead correct! My favorite color is clear.

This must be a hybrid of "dead on" and "correct".
 
  • #347

I had Wendy's for dinner
I have a dag named ash
 
  • #348

I think you mean "dog." I can't stand people who don't spell correctly. :devil: :biggrin:
 
  • #349
I think ash is doggerel. You frequently mention a cat.

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.)

Since you have an internet husband, he was probably first an internet boy friend, so I'll say this one's false.

Lie! (Everyone knows pi has less than 100 memorable digits.)

Don't try to fool me with this slapped together rationalization. You requested a reenactment!
 
  • #355
I think 1 is false for Gale.
 
  • #356
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

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.

Lie! Right?
 
  • #359
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.
 
  • #360
and i think whozum's been to a concert. 1 is a lie.
