I just had a theme going for the set of statements. Maybe that's why I forgot to make one of them false.
I don't see the theme except in the last two: secret crush. First one doesn't fit that I can see.

Anyway, I adore hypnagogue and loseyourname. This other person just presses some different buttons. :smile: Happy? You'll never guess anyway.
Can I PM you my guess? :biggrin:

By supermentor decree, all speculations on honestrosewater's crush must be conducted in public, in this very thread or a new thread in General Discussion to be named later, for all to see.

Failure to comply will result in a collective "aw shucks" among the males and a knowing look among the PF sisterhood.

Wait, that didn't turn out like I wanted it to. shucks.

This is correct. I think I only have three.

The compact OED, you know, is the whole OED, not abridged. It's shrunken so you have to read it with a magnifying glass. It's practically microfilm

Yes you have.

By the way, I think this thread should be re-titled "Pure grade General Discussion crack."

edit: Let me slightly rephrase that. This thread should be re-titled "High grade General Discussion CRACK COCAINE. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK."

As you were.

I'll say number two is false.

And yes, this is definitely a GD "crack" thread. I should have been asleep hours ago!

Yeah, this would be hard to believe given how much you talk about Will.

This doesn't sound like you. Conservative? (By the way: Honestrosewater has a crush on you.)

I think you're more footwear-conscious than that. This is the lie.

My right sneaker currently has a big hole in the bottom so the sole is exposed to the elements. I really need to get new shoes.

I'm surpised. I thought you would want to be ever-ready for that spontaneous game of basketball.
