  1. I had a hit song on a top ten radio station in 1970.

  2. I stayed in Perth, Australia for two weeks in 2005.

  3. 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 I had a cassette copy made back in the late 1990s, but that is obsolete now also.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.

You're lying about the bones. The lightning sounds like a lie but probably a trap.

  1. I spent a week in the hospital for an infected tooth.
  2. I played Single A minor league baseball.
  3. I never broke a bone.

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!

I think 1 is a lie.

  1. I partied with Bon Scott of AC/DC.
  2. I drive a hippie themed 1969 volkswagen bus
  3. I hate weed.

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!

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

0

No to the lightning.

  1. I co-hosted a weekly show dedicated to action movies on an illegal pirate radio station
  2. I helped to establish the world's first Junior roller derby league
  3. I got my 5 year old son to flip off George W Bush to his face

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. ?

@Alimacbean ?

@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

Ok we need details on #2!

  1. I enjoy pineapple and onion pizza
  2. I hold a certification in critical care nursing
  3. I graduated high school

#1 because no one likes pineapple on pizza! Lightning hit the house, went though the electrical, hit me.

@Alimacbean My mom does, I hate it!

@Alimacbean Ouch! Glad you seem to be okay. Hope there were no long term effects

@HeraTera Nope. It was pretty mild, but at least I can say it!

#3?

@CoastRiderBill correct GED to associate degree.

@CoastRiderBill, @Alimacbean as a kid I was watching a storm out the back door while sitting on the washing machine. I’m not sure if lightning hit the house or just really close but I felt a sting like being hit with a rubber band.

I love pineapple and onion pizza!!!
@Alimacbean

@BeccaVa Ewwwww

1

hit by lightning is the lie.

mine is

  1. I've stalked multiple celebrities in large cities with minimal information and found them successfully
  2. I have all my adult teeth and no baby teeth
  3. I joined a street gang at 18 and was being groomed to be the leader

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've ridden on a missile

I hate onions

I support the GOP

Oh please let #3 be the lie!

#3!

@Alimacbean ding ding ding!

@patchoullijulie you're quite right!

@josh23452 Phew!.... thank you 😀

@patchoullijulie see 🙂

@josh23452 I did wonder if you were military, in which case it would be quite feasible that you rode a missile. 😀

I don't think you got struck by lightning.

  1. I married a transgendered person and had a transgendered child.
  2. I was a lifeguard until someone drowned on my watch.
  3. I got a quote last week to cut down a tree in my back yard - for 7 grand.

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!

I've studied fifty languages and can read newspapers in a dozen of them.

Dinosaurs regularly visit my garden to eat nuts and seeds.

I've been in the International Space Station.

#3 is the lie?

#1?

I've seen the ISS many times, but my work is in computational linguistics.

Are we calling birds dinosaurs?

Well this is actually fun. You can study 50 languages but doesn't mean you learned them. Next, if by dinosaurs you mean lizzards then you have never been to the ISS, that's the lie

Yes - birds are dinosaurs.

  1. I sold guns for a living for several years.
  2. I have two pet rats.
  3. I published an underground newspaper at my university.

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

@exilesky Correct. I quite like rats, but my schedule makes it hard to give them the attention they need. My lizards are far more self-sufficient.

0

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 hope #3 is a lie ! The other two are really cool!

I think #3 is a lie

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.

  1. I scored a winning touchdown in college football
  2. I stitched up wounds in a hospital emergency room when I was 16.
  3. I participated as a contestant in the league of legends championships in Boston MA

#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.

  1. I met Tom Robbins and while he was signing a copy of Still Life with Woodpecker I puked on his shoes.
  2. I attended 6 years of Catholic School which is where I learned all my vices that haunt me to this day.
  3. I was medically disharged from the army and part of the story is I was wearing a skirt.

#3 is a lie?

#1 seems the least specific, so that's the lie

#1is the winner

Also when I was a kid I was riding my bike around a corner and I took too much of a wide turn and my face went right into a pole lol

I have never and will never willingly sky dive lol

If I'm not Welsh, I like sheep.

I'm Welsh, but I don't like sheep.

I like shagging sheep.

Ummm

Shagging sheep are lovely things, not least because they fill the fields with lovely lambs every spring.

They all have different advantages. Soay sheep are good in that you don't have to shear them - the wool just falls out and you can gather it where it collects along fences.

  1. I was once a contestant on a popular game show.

  2. I climbed inside a large commercial clothes dryer one time and spun around until I got really dizzy.

  3. 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.

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

Ozman Level 7 Aug 30, 2018

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!
