Well, I guess we've discovered what you find exiting.
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.)

2. I've never had a internet boyfriend, but i dated a girl online once.
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!

I think 1 is false for Gale.

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?

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.

2. (false) I watched my brother play a couple games when he was in high school

3. (true) I've been in a church but never attended a church event of any kind.

They could've been arrested for this. But that would've just put you and your sister in the system.

He doesn't get the thread. He thinks it's a general quiz thread.

Once, a flying squirrel got into my house.

Once, a possum got into my house.

Once, a skunk got into my house.

But you said "I have never been to a church." YOU should have said "never attended to a religious event at a church."

I said never been to church, going to church is kinda implied that youre going for a reason, an event. If I said never been to A church, then yes you're right.

1. When I was a toddler my hand got stuck on the red-hot range.
2. I didn't eat anything other than mother's milk until I was 4 years old.
3. I love milk but hate yogurt and soymilk.

(Checks whozum's original post.) Okay, my mistake.

*still chuckling at Gale being a temporary e-lesbian* :smile:

Zooby, you never had a flying squirrel in your brush shelter.

Enuma, I really hope #1 is the the lie!

#2 is false. Least of hope so for your mom's breasts' sake. You'd practically deflat them.
 
  • #373
#3 was false: I am (have become) probably lactose intolerant.

But my perspective on breastfeeding has not changed since I was born -- it's our birthright. :smile:

P.S. I don't remember the accident with the range so it must be okay. (Not that I remember sucking mom dry, of course. I can only assume that I found it a natural, highly pleasurable and full-filling experience.) :smile:

Well, I've had a possum in my house, Tsu & Ivan had skunks in theirs, so zooby should have a flying squirrel. I say he didn't have a possum. Only really special people get a house possum. :biggrin:

Correct. I've never had a breaking and entering by a possum.

The flying squirrel incident took place in N.H. back when I was a young zoobie.

Zooby, if you need a possum, I know where you can get one. I have connections...

When I first saw a Possum I thought it was a giant rat. I swear I did.

No, that's OK. I'm not going to just flush 15 years of Possum Obsessive's Anonymous meetings down the toilet.

You were also supposed to write "Evo is special" in large letters. :approve:

They're kinda like a cross between a rat and a barn owl: a giant rat with a barn owl's eyes. Part monkey also: opposable thumbs fore and aft.

Really?! Isn't that more consistent with climbing trees, as in monkeys?

I do believe possums can climb trees, yes.

A little like a bear, no? You can't run, swim, or climb. Wonder what Evo did to get rid of it.

She never did. It lives in her spare room, and she named it "Possum of Evo".

AHA! Aiding and abetting Dr Foofer in his illegal possum smuggling! And he just got out of a 7 week Possums Anonymous retreat. :frown:

You forgot the prehensile tail. I read that they haven't changed in 40 million years. They're very cool. They have hot pink feet and tails, black leathery ears and HUGE FANGS.

MIH, look, aren't they adorable.

True, and they exhale deadly HCl gas, and they can jump 30 feet straight up, and they can open beer cans with their little hands, and they understand the concept of the US postal service and often mail themselves around the country.

Oh, Evo- they're so cute! Did you know that when they are newborn they are the size of a bee?

RIP, Raul.

If i was three years older i'd be three years behind my classmates

This is not a very good way to go about things.

You shouldn't say you are ahead of everyone. I've experienced getting ahead and then later noticing I've left a lot behind.

In the end, don't get ahead of yourself.

Note: I'm still moving my way up, but I'm doing it with some new perspective.

That's right, they're marsupial. Very cool animals.

RIP, Raul.
Thank you, I really miss him. :cry:

I just noticed the one on the far right in the front row is lifting his rear leg up like he's peeing.
