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 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
#1 number 3 is a lie.
#2 number 1 is true
#3 I never lie
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 I had a cassette copy made back in the late 1990s, but that is obsolete now also.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.
#3 is a lie?
#1 seems the least specific, so that's the lie
#1is the winner
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.
@alimacbean I'm going with the broken bones as the lie.
As for mine:
Do Penguins snorkel? Im going with #3
#3 way too cold!
#1 is the lie
#1
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.
Hit by lightning. Very rare. But happens.
Hit by lightning is true!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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
Two explains 3. Saying 1 is a lie.
I like your logic.
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...
#2??
#3?
Ok we need details on #2!
#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: I'm double jointed 2: I had a pet hog that weighed over 1,000 pounds 3: I have a pet shark
#2
@Alimacbean no 3 is the lie ?
@Cofe23 I almost said that one, but there are fish called red tailed sharks you can get. Thought it was a trick.
#3?
Right! #3
1 is the lie
@Alimacbean No.
@astrnelis Yep.
When I was a kid I had a friend that was throwing rocks up in his backyard and one of them came down on my head. Blood was going down my face.
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
I think #2 is the lie.
#3? My 2 is truth.
#3
Yes #3. I would have a pet snake, if I didn't have to feed them rodents.
#1?
@Alimacbean -- Nope.
#3?
@Minta79 -- Yep. I've never ridden a camel.
@Minta79, @OlderMusicGeek -- Nope. I worked a claim on the Jack Wade Creek northeast of the Forty Mile River crossing for a couple of years, but I've never ridden a camel.
Could have been a pharmaceutical rep... #3
@JustLynnie I'm very disappointed in you, Lyn, You guessed right.
#2 lol!
@Alimacbean Correct! Two points for you!
At age 4 molested by my female babysitter.
I have Social Anxiety Disorder, yet I teach Speech/Theatre/Debate.
I collect spiders.
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...
