How about some fun with 2 truths and a lie?!
Rules:
List 2 truths and 1 lie. Everyone tries to guess your lie.
I'll start.
I believe you could speak Klingon and Elvish, but it is difficult to determine whether the broken bone count is off or the lightning strike is false. I am guessing three is your lie.
Your deductions may or may not be accurate...
All could be true... I'm going with 1.
@Alimacbean all could be true, but there is a lie. I did sell guns, though
I don't believe the rats.
I'm going with pet rats
1, I met and had a conversation with Henry KIssinger
2. I have a famous grandparent
3. I was attacked and badly injured by a dog.
Hmmm... I'm going with 3.
I think 1. is a lie.
I hope #3 is a lie ! The other two are really cool!
I think #3 is a lie
You're lying about the bones. The lightning sounds like a lie but probably a trap.
I'm going with baseball.
If 2 is true than 3 is a lie.
No broken bones is a lie
#1 is a lie?
It was Baseball. I seriously never broke a bone that I'm aware of. Maybe a jammed finger or facture but nothing diagnosed.
@birdingnut nope. Got a bad infection that took a lot of aggressive antibiotics five work days to finally take care of. That was crazy.
I was lying about the bones!
@Alimacbean But lightning... wow!
@KevinMR It hit the house , went through the electrical, then hit me.
@Alimacbean That's crazy! Just when you think you're safe indoors... it's like WTF was that?!?! At least you survived relatively unscathed, I assume.
@KevinMR Yup, just a darn good story!
@Alimacbean indeed!
Two explains 3. Saying 1 is a lie.
I like your logic.
I don't think you got struck by lightning.
The lifeguard thing is a lie!!
@Fibonacci1618 You are correct.
I think 3 is a truth. Not sure about the others but I’ve had ridiculous quotes for tree service myself
#2 is a lie?
@birdingnut Correct.
I know the tree is highly probable. Sounds like a sensible quote.
Lightning is true!
The lighting is a lie!
I won the Junior Olympic Boxing Nationals
I hate rollercoasters
I sat on a panel with Hillary Clinton
I think Clinton is a lie.
@exilesky let's see if anyone else guess, then I'll share
@Fibonacci1618 rollercoasters?
@Beowulfsfriend Rollercoasters
Lightning is true!.
hit by lightning is the lie.
mine is
This is a hard one. Just knowing through some of your posts and replies I can see you doing all three and I mean that in a kick ass person kind of way.
I eliminate #2 due to your age and I am going to toss a coin and come up with # 3 is the lie.
@patchoullijulie lol hmmmm i will wait for a few guesses before I reveal it lol
#3 my guess ?
#3 is a lie!
@Spongebob @fibonacci1618 @patchoullijulie
Incorrect. #3 is true.
@LadyAlyxandrea I was a gang ster back in 1952 also! Not literally 1952, but yes me too! Great growth !
I have been indirectly hit by lightning. Hit the house, came through the electrical, and hit me.
#2
@Alimacbean winner winner chicken dinner
I think 1 is a lie.
3 is a lie
@HeraTera lol As much as I wish it were true, #2 is the lie.
@patchoullijulie aww, the vw bus would be cool ?
@HeraTera I know right? One day maybe.
I think #3 is a lie. Nobody hates weed.
@birdingnut ? Nah...fraid it's true. I am one of those rare birds that doesn't drink, do drugs or smoke weed. I know, I know..........
@patchoullijulie it is okay; we all have our quirks. My second son is an athletic freek. College prof in math, still plays soccer, pro tennis, and a mix of martial arts and gymnastics.
@Beowulfsfriend Hey...I don't consider my choices to be quirks!
Lightning is not a lie!
@Alimacbean Oh wow! Your one of 'those' people. How scary was that?
@patchoullijulie It hit the house, went though the electrical, hit me. Mildly shocking, to say the least!
tlhih jatlh tlhingan
Que?
Ah, fake languages, got it
@Fibonacci1618 so you don't speak klingon
@LadyAlyxandrea Unfortunately not! The only fake language I speak is nonsense from time to time.
I speak Gibberish and Oppish.
I don’t think you’ve been hit by lightning.
#2 is a lie?
@birdingnut I actually did sew wounds, even delivered babies when I was 16 in a hospital in the Dominican Republic
Lightning is not a lie.
@Alimacbean then it's the broken bones?
@HeraTera Yup! Never broken a bone.
#3 is a lie?
#1 seems the least specific, so that's the lie
#1is the winner
I had a hit song on a top ten radio station in 1970.
I stayed in Perth, Australia for two weeks in 2005.
In the 1960s, when I was a teenager, I used to race my Akhal Teke mare and beat everyone.
#1 is your lie, I guess ?
@Spongebob NOPE. It was a top ten radio station in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and stayed top hit for about two months.
@birdingnut wow! Awesome! May we listen to it?
@Spongebob I doubt it! It was a song from a long-play 48 record-not used in the US, destined for the South American market, and the song was in Spanish. I had a cassette copy made back in the late 1990s, but that is obsolete now also.
@Katastrophe69 No..I only brought a suitcase of essentials when I moved to Thailand in 2010. I suppose someone in my family has cassettes of the album, but not sure. I'm not talking to most of them since they began bragging on being Trump supporters.
@Katastrophe69 I'm sure the cassettes are in my family somewhere, but I'm in Thailand at the moment so I'll have to wait.
Well, nobody guessed it..the lie is #2. I did visit in Australia in 2005, but I went on a camel trek near Coober Pedy, and visited other islands and cities, but never made it to Perth, although it's on my bucket list.
I raced La Brujah, my Akhal Teke mare, against all comers when I lived on our Haiti mission near Cap Haitian as a teenager, and she could beat anyone.
She could cruise at 30 mph, fast as a race horse. I never used a bridle or saddle on her, which about gave me whiplash whenever she took off in a sprint.
I had to grab her mane to keep from being thrown backward from the force. She had a colt with my stallion, a buckskin who could do a broken pace at 15 mph for miles as I commuted between our mission property and the city.
@birdingnut I was going to say Perth is a lie but given your proximity I thought it completely feasible. Honestly the camel trek at Coober was probably way more exciting.
@patchoullijulie Yup!
Pic is of me getting a kiss from Sir Wobbles, the biggest camel in the string, and the one my ex is riding. I was riding the smallest camel.
The owner of the trek lets guests each have a camel to feed, groom, saddle, and take care of during the trek. My camel was abused before he bought her and was afraid of men, so I was the one who could handle her.
@birdingnut Oh wow. Very cool. Did you get to venture into any of the Coober Pedy underground dwellings?
@patchoullijulie Yes, my ex and I rented an underground hotel room for the night. It was very cool and nice down there.
@birdingnut That is so cool. I am headed back that way soon so I might put Coober Pedy on my list of places to visit.
I will pass.... the unbelievable truths I got... the believable lie I got a problem with. But what the fuck heck!!!!
Hard one.... #3 is a lie?
#3
I was once a contestant on a popular game show.
I climbed inside a large commercial clothes dryer one time and spun around until I got really dizzy.
I jumped off a cliff one time and flew around in a hang glider.
Hang glider is a lie
#2
#3 is the lie although I have taken some hang gliding lessons before and would love to fly off a cliff.
#1
No to the lightning.
pirate radio was the shit! The kids these days don't know what they are missing.
Jr. Roller derby is a lie
Lightning was not a lie. ?
@OlderMusicGeek, @Fibonacci1618 it was #3
@weelittleone I actually had to escort him around during a media summit I put together when I was with an Americorps program
@Fibonacci1618 was he president yet?
@OlderMusicGeek me too !! Haha !
@OlderMusicGeek, @weelittleone he was not. It was a Texas Summit. It was when he was Governor. The coolest part about it was that I also got to escort General Collin Powell
What is a fake language? (Lie), hit by lightning, unless you were typing your post from the other side(Lie)....so, what a hell do you do to have 15 broken bones????
And since I must play along....
I speak Gibberish and Oppish and I have been indirectly hit by lightning.
#2
Not related..... I love your bun bun!!!
#2
#3
It is #3, however I have climbed Denali once and Rainier 6 times. Someday I do hope to climb Everest!
I climbed My Fuji.
I was in a ship collision.
I helped deliver my first born on the way to the hospital.
A ship collision
@Katastrophe69 no. One of my life's best trips.
@Katastrophe69 nope. 1979, onboard a carrier and we split open an oil tanker. Close to six million gallons of crude oil spilled near Singapore. Didn't make national headlines, but Johnny Carson joked about us.
@Katastrophe69 we made Carson again , about a year later: we bombed some rich guy's backyard in Southern California
@Beowulfsfriend I was on board the Abraham Lincoln when it collided during an unrep-had never heard the collision alarm and just knew it signified something ‘special’!
@Beowulfsfriend I absolutely loved climbing Mt Fuji!! Did it in 96. Japan was my favorite country to live in!
@OlderMusicGeek no the hike up Fuji
I have insulted an Emmy-winning director and stood up a famous director who came to meet me
I am an accomplished cricket player
I have three passports, a couple of visas, and you don't even know my real name
Im going to go with #2 is the lie. If your an Australian male the chances are you have played cricket but the question is are you an accomplished player.?
#1 I could see an Aussie male doing that.....it's part of the culture 'tall poppy syndrome'
and #3 is not a lie because we don't know your real name.
@patchoullijulie You're not wrong, accomplishments are definitely subjective I think I have done ok for myself there, though.
Although I only have two passports. But no comment on the lyrics?
@Ozman Ha.. dag nab it...I thought I had it all worked out. Guess I'm not as clever as I thought. Oh well.
#3!
I think you haven’t been hit by lightning....
And tell me (if you want by message): what are the 15 bones you’ve broken... ?
Switch those around and then you'll be right!
1 - I had an idea when I was 17 that I later worked on in a DARPA contract.
2 - I've released 3 music albums in my life.
3 - My first language was German.
#3?
#2
Not 3, but maybe less or more.
@Alimacbean yes ma'am! Even though I have German heritage, I try to hide my mid-Atlantic dialect...
Sorry I'm not playing the game, but I can't resist offering "the liar's paradox" here--a version of which was given by Plato and also commanded the attention of 20th century mathematicians. The paradox (if I have stated it correctly!) is that Sentence #2 is true if and only if it is false, and the same is the case for Sentence #3.
