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. :-p

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.

You're right, Lisa!. It was always in a partying and having fun way though - nothing serious. I wonder why the (straight) men never did that kind of thing no matter how drunk they got. Anyone have any idea? :confused:

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.

Thank you, which was the lie?

Well, I can think of a rational explanation for this one, so I say it's a lie.

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.

The third. Sorry for not being clear.

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.

He could use those water fountain thingies or something else. And he only said that he despised using toilet paper - not that he doesn't use it.

I'm going for 3, I don't think you can run 13mph for over 4 miutes.

You're correct (somewhat). My PR is 4:34.

Too many pages to read, but it sounds fun. Here's three:

1. I obtained a visa to work in the US without getting paid and while being broke.
2. I graduated cum laude three times (high school, college, university).
3. I once drank 1 cup of extra virgine olive oil.

I have a Master's in Math, but I don't have a Bachelor's degree.

I performed in the opera Tosca along with Robert Merrill.

I played for the Philadelphia Eagles.

I will go with 3 as being false.

Wow, toss-up for me. I think 3 is true for some reason, and therefore will go with 2 as being the flase one.

Response in white , drag your cursor over it to view.
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.

I'm voting #3 also.

I'll say #2 is false. I'm not sure high schools offer a "cum laude" status.
