Lie. (I will lose all respect for you otherwise.) He looks too much like Orlando.

Okay, you are right I guess. No, that's not my real name. OTOH, I've never colored my hair, let alone purple.

False. You only do so as a compromise. Poor zoobie.
 
  • #493
Yeah I agree with hrw for zoob's
 
  • #494
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
