Spot the Lie ~ Game

[Legs]

Easy game and a chance to learn stuff about each other.

Post 2 truths and a lie about yourself...

Other members will try and spot the lie while also posting two truths & a lie about themselves.

Be sure to remember and come back and tell us which was the :pinocchio: Everyone can make guesses about everyone, you don't have to take turns.

Me

- I've never been fired
- I've never been to Cartegena
- I love Barry Manilow music

Spot the lie. :P

[Lauri D]

You've never been to Cartagena?

Am I supposed to do mine now? Sorry, I'm confused, I'm working on a headache right now.

[godfry n. glad]

Cartagena, eh?

Well, as for me:

- I've been to Samarkand.
- I earned a varsity letter in basketball.
- I used to haul garbage for a living.

You guess the lie.

[Legs]

Yes, do yours now...

and we're right, you spotted my lie about Cartegena. :yup:

[Legs]

godfry

- I've been to Samarkand.
- I earned a varsity letter in basketball. :larrow: you're too short for BB?
- I used to haul garbage for a living.

[godfry n. glad]

Good...I didn't know if you paid attention or not... :wink:

[godfry n. glad]

Okay... try this:

- I made the dean's list at university.
- I made the rugby team in high school.
- I made out with a Catholic girl in the closed trunk of a car.

[Legs]

- I made out with a Catholic girl in the closed trunk of a car.
I don't think so :nope:

Me
- I'm a good cook
- I'm a good knitter
- I couldn't tell a joke if my life depended on it.

[godfry n. glad]

Bzzzzzt! Sorry, Legs. I actually did that when I was 16. :P

And I don't think you know knitting from tatting and can't do it, anyway.

[Legs]

Bzzzzzt! Sorry, Legs. I actually did that when I was 16. :P

Bugger! okay, it was the rugby thing that was the lie.


And I don't think you know knitting from tatting and can't do it, anyway.
Bugger again :glare: I can't knit :cry:

[Dingfod]

-I was an Eagle Scout
-I drove a race car
-I once dated the partner of a lesbian

[Legs]

Dingfod

- I was an Eagle Scout :larrow: :nope:

[godfry n. glad]

bZZZZt....

Nope. I played right wing on the rugby team at Benson High School.

And, I never made the Dean's List at university. I was always about .2 -.4 of a grade point too low.

[inland wave]

I jumped off a runaway horse.
I was a twirler in the high school band.
I have been to Cancun.

[Dingfod]

Dingfod

- I was an Eagle Scout :larrow: :nope:Correcto! The highest rank I achieved was Star Scout. The only merit badges I got were earned during summer camp.

[Legs]

bZZZZt....

Nope. I played right wing on the rugby team at Benson High School.

Damn!

I jumped of a runaway horse.
I was a twirler in the high school band. :larrow: Horses & beaches I see, but not twirling
I have been to Cancun.
Correcto!

I don't think you have acrylic nails. :liar:

[Legs]

You know me soooo well. :blush2:

[Dingfod]

inland wave was indeed a high school band twirler, she's got the medals to prove it. And, she was so dang cute in a sequinned bodysuit. But, alas, I've never seen more than pictures.

_I have hiked in Big Bend National Park
_I have eaten rattlesnake
_I shot my brother in the face

[pescifish]

pescifish
# I survived the eruption of the Mt. Saint Helens volcano But I'm not dead yet!
:wmummy:

Sorry, trick question. We all survived the Mt. Saint Helens eruption. I was a couple of states away at the time. :innocent:

And yes, I was accepted to Annapolis. :sailing:

I say
My prom was held at Disneyland Hotel. :winner:
It could have been though. IIRC, it was on the Queen Mary.

_I have hiked in Big Bend National Park
_I have eaten rattlesnake
_I shot my brother in the face
Ooh, too hard to choose! They all seem very plausible.

I'm going to go with the "eaten rattlesnake" one (i.e., you haven't eaten rattlesnake.) With strong leanings toward Big Bend, since I bet you've been there but maybe didn't get the chance to hike it or something like that.

[Legs]

I have hiked in Big Bend National Park :nope:

[Dingfod]

Yup, it's Big Bend. I have been there, but I didn't get a chance to hike.

When I was an incorrigible 12-year old, I shot my little brother in the face with a piece of ground shell (Southern gravel) flung from my beanie-flipper (slingshot).

BTW, rattlesnake does taste like chicken.

[Legs]

I so figured you shot your bro & ate snake :pleased:

[Dingfod]

So, it was merely a process of elimination. Try these:


_I've had surgery on a toe
_I broke my tailbone
_I had my appendix removed

[Legs]

I feel like picking all of the above, but I'll go with the lie being your toe.

[Dingfod]

Nope. I had a number of surgeries on my right big toe trying to fix chronically ingrown toenails and resultant infections.

[Legs]

I wish you hadn't told me that :eww:

[godfry n. glad]

I'm going with the appendix.

:D

[Dingfod]

Yup, I still have the original equipment there.

[Dingfod]

The toenail did finally get fixed, the toenail root on both sides of it were cut away and killed with liquid nitrogen. That toenail is probably at least a quarter inch narrower than the other big toe.

[inland wave]

I said nothing about the quality of the singing.

I can sing with my mouth closed. In fact, I didn't even know that was unusual until I saw that woman do it on American Idol, and everyone was all impressed.

[inland wave]

I was a brownie and a cadette. :D



I was a girl scout. :nope:

[godfry n. glad]

Wow...Can't pull a geography fast one on you guys.

Yes. You're both right.

Damn.


Um...I don't think you can juggle behind your back, lisarea.

_ I was a boy scout.
_ I was arrested.
_ I sang in the choir.

[inland wave]

Juggle behind your back.
I would think if you can sing with your mouth closed, you should be able to blow bubbles with bubblegum.

Yep. Can't juggle at all.

When I was a kid, I could blow more nested bubbles than the existing record, but my parents didn't love me enough to actually go for the Guiness.

You guys are good. I really thought I was going to trick you.

And godfry, you didn't sing in no choir.

[godfry n. glad]

You got that right. I can't sing worth a damn. And my book, that's pretty poorly.

I wear each of the following:

_ spectacles
_ ring
_ watch

[Dingfod]

godfry wasn't a boy scout, he was a girl scout.

[godfry n. glad]

godfry wasn't a boy scout, he was a girl scout.

Heh... That I was...that I was.

I did make it to second class (big whup) in the Boy Sprouts before dropping out. When you recite the "Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, disobedient, brave, thrifty and irreverant", or "irrelevant", it's only a matter of time. I hit that at 14.

Two things put me off of the Boy Scouts: the god stuff and the militarism. It's like we were being trained to be "good little soldiers". We did a lot of "standing at attention" and "having inspection". And since the troop was sponsored by the local Methodist church, there was a fair amount of godtalk going on around me. I liked the outdoors part, that was fun, but regular meetings were a pain in the ass. Little brownshirts. I'm a boomer, though, so the guys running the programs, the dads, were WWII vets.

[Dingfod]

My Scout troop was much more laid back. Our Scoutmaster was a mortician, young and a really cool guy. Our meetings were very informal, much of it involved sitting around on couches in the church youth group room and many many games of ping-pong. We went on campouts a lot, much more than most other troops. On those campouts, we did a lot of fun things, like hide-and-seek in the dark with the boundaries so large our in-bounds area might have been 150 acres or more. We did play Capture The Flag with buffalo gourds for handgrenades. I had a lot of fun in Boy Scouts even though the Scoutmaster didn't molest me. However, I always wished his wife would.

[California Tanker]

I was a scout from Beavers to Ventures. (Basically, the whole range). The Scouting Association I was familiar with (British, mainly) seems far removed from what I gather the American Scouting Association is. God rarely entered the equation (though a belief in -something- is a requirement). The standing at attention and inspections don't strike me as being bad things for a kid to learn. A bit of discipline and pride in appearance, especially in places that don't have school uniforms. I get the feeling I was ironing and sewing at a much earlier age because of the scouts than I would have been otherwise. Not that I do it much these days though.

Yeah... The outdoor gigs were always fun. Just getting out and running around in the woods was fun. No molesting at all. Just vet dads reliving their "glory days". I learned my first dirty joke in the Boy Sprouts. I seem to remember my picking up a lot of stuff "on the street path" info about...:nudge:...them.

[The Lone Ranger]

I often catch venomous snakes with my bare hands, and I've never been bitten.

I was an Eagle Scout.

I've met Stephen Jay Gould.

[Lauri D]

w00t, I tricked Dingfod successfully! :D

I am not lactose intolerant.

I do (now not-so-secretly) hold the irrational and totally lame belief that I can control stuff by force of will. What can I say? I think of stuff and it happens. *cue Twilight Zone music*

[Petra]

I don't think Michael catches venomous snakes with his barehands and has never been bitten. :rattler:

[The Lone Ranger]

Sorry! That one's true -- I do it all the time.

I've been catching copperheads and rattlesnakes by hand since I was a kid -- I learned by catching non-venomous snakes first, of course!

[Petra]

1) I have never been in trouble with the law
2) I have never been on a cruise
3) I have never been in a helicopter

I totally fucked this up, and I blame tiredness. 1 and 2 are lies, and 3 is the truth. Sorry, guys - I'm a dumbass. :doh:

[Dingfod]

Michael, you seem the Eagle Scout type, so I'm going to guess you've never met evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, but I bet you'd like to.

[Dingfod]

Sorry! That one's true -- I do it all the time.

I've been catching copperheads and rattlesnakes by hand since I was a kid -- I learned by catching non-venomous snakes first, of course!

Oh, man. Michael, I'm so scared of snakes (fortunately NZ has none at all :phew: ) and I thought that not even the nature loving Lone ranger would dare mess with such frightening beasts as copperheads and rattlers! I bow to your bravery, Sir. :bow:

But make sure you be careful, k!


So, then, it must be that you were never an Eagle Scout. :eagle:

[Petra]

Well, I am too then because I think I read it the way you meant it.

That means you are a good interpreter of what people mean, even when they blow it. :D

[The Lone Ranger]

Michael, you seem the Eagle Scout type, so I'm going to guess you've never met evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, but I bet you'd like to.

I'm honored!

But though I used to work as a Naturalist for the Girl Scouts, I was never a Boy Scout. (That whole "reverent" thing kinda threw me.)

I met Gould at a Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology conference in Boston several years ago.

Cheers,

Michael

[Lauri D]

I can, indeed, play the accordion :yup: Hey, it got pretty effing boring over there in Papua New Guinea sometimes. Somebody or other had left one behind and I drove my houseparents and fellow boarders NUTS fooling around with that thing. Got pretty good though! (This was when I was like 14. I'd probably be a bit rusty now, but still :D )

I have not, however, ever voted Libertarian.

Yes, that is right, I don't have any fur coats. :fox: :hearts:

[Dingfod]

Why not, they would look great with your legs, which must look great when you wear heels or you wouldn't wear them all the time?

Legs, are your feet permanently curved as though you are wearing heels even when you're not, like inland wave's are?

My feet are fine, I just don't like flat shoes. Is this a good time to mention I don't have pants either?

Are those things you keep in your pants permanently curved as though you were wearing pants, even though you're not?

[Legs]

:blink:

Not sure what you mean, I'm just a traditional type lady who likes dresses, skirts, heels.

I bought pants when I went to alaska a couple of years ago but it was like 85F everyday so I tossed them.

[Ymir's blood]

Yes, it actually happened. The last pediatrician thought perhaps it was because the first two times were weak infections. He wasn't the one who treated the first two though. I suspect my immune system was just shot though, from trying to deal with bronchitis and multiple sinus infections each year.

[Legs]

It doesn't take girls as long :dollup:

[Dingfod]

Well, in my experience, girls take a lot longer getting ready, in fact, 15 minutes in the shower isn't unusual, or longer, depending on the girl. Then there's hair-styling and makeup.

Keeping in mind that I do not dress the night before for the next day, but I might select what it is I'm going to wear, I'll agree.

I can be up showered, dressed and out the door in fifteen minutes, but I will not have eaten any breakfast and I will probably have forgotten something fairly important.

I believe you are too good a driver to get run off the road by something like that.

[pescifish]

Well, ok, unless maybe your car was parked at the time and you exited the car and then ran off the road leaving the car to its own fate.

[Legs]

I don't eat breakfast. I basically leap out of bed with the alarm straight to the bathroom, I pin my hair up(it's long) for my quick shower, dry off, dress, jewelery, I wear very little makeup, heels on and I'm good to go. 15 minutes.

Then I get HorseGirl up, fed and out the door for school. Probably the nicest thing I do everyday is deliver a hot coffee to Widget, bedside. :yup:

[Dingfod]

Wrong. In the summer of 1976, I drove from Woodward, Oklahoma to Mesquite, Texas in a smidge over 4 hours in a 1973 Mazda RX-3, hitting speeds in excess of 110 mph on I-35 between Norman, Oklahoma and Denton, TX.

_I ran off the road when a bee came in the window of my carfalse

I believe you are too good a driver to get run off the road by something like that.Actually, I did while trying to smack the beast I ran over 4 reflector poles on a curve on the McBride's Canyon road. This happened on the way home from a Boy Scout campout with four other Boy Scouts and all of our gear in the car. Fortunately, I didn't wreck.

I've had tire blowouts, one at about 70 mph that beat the crap out of the left rear fender of my 1964 Pontiac Tempest, but never one at 100 mph.

I think this is like Dingfod and his missed hiking opportunity -- you just haven't done it yet! And by golly, you should get to it. Heck, I think even *I* have hiked it. Or maybe my house is sitting right on top of it, from the looks of this map (http://www.pcta.org/images/map_large.jpg).

The snake from the shirt story is very cute and very plausible. And with your strength of will and character, I can imagine the second scenario knowing that there were probably very ethical reasons for the decision.

You're right! Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail is a goal, but not something I've managed to accomplish yet, sadly. (I've hiked some of the Appalachian Trail though.)


A friend of mine has a very friendly gopher snake named George, so I decided to borrow him one day to use as a "prop" for a lecture on reptiles. It was a cold day, so I let George burrow down into my shirt while I walked across campus. He settled in quite comfortably, so I left him there. I walked into the classroom, commenced my lecture, and about 20 minutes into it, just as I was about to "introduce" him anyway, George chose to crawl out the left sleeve of my shirt -- much to the consternation of some of the people in the first row!



One night, when I was 18, I was walking along a lonely country road when a truck approached. It stopped and the driver's side window rolled down. The driver pointed a rifle (or shotgun -- it was too dark to be certain) at me and told me that he was going to shoot me. I was carrying a large hunting knife on me, and from the way that he was speaking, I was convinced that -- for whatever bizaare reason -- he really intended to shoot me. (I could smell alcohol, so that might have had something to do with it.)

So, I decided my only hope was to try to kill him. I got the knife into my hand without him noticing and was tensing to jump, hoping that I'd be able to knock the gun aside with one hand while thrusting the knife at his throat with the other.

And just as I was about to jump forward, he laughed, pulled the gun back, and sped off. I'll never know if he had simply decided to play a cruel joke on some random stranger he encountered on the road, or he was disconcerted because I didn't react the way he expected, or what.

In any event, I'm awfully glad he sped off when he did. Another 2 seconds or so, and one or both of us would have been seriously wounded or dead.


That's not something I ever want to experience again!

Actually, I considered the shaving pretty seriously once, and for exactly the superficial reason I mentioned. I never did go through with it.

And the hat thing is true. Despite the fact that I wear a hat so often, I have very few photos of me with a hat on. I think this is because I'm generally told to take it off by the photographer. Just like most of my early pictures of my wife show her without glasses, despite her wearing glasses almost all of her waking hours....her mother had drilled it into her to remove her glasses for photo sessions; she did it almost unconsciously. Anyway, I've had acquaintances that I've know for years tell me that they didn't know I was losing my hair because they hadn't seen the top of my head in years.

The one that is a lie was regarding my mother's father.

I had forgotten that I went to a bachelorette party once to the famous Chippendales club in the early 80s. That was a degrading (to women) fucking waste of time. I felt badly for my friend getting married as the asshole dancers made fun of the girls they didn't think were hawt (and they didn't think she was hawt.)

This was before male stripping became something for gay guys, it seems. The strippers and the men waiting until after the show when the club opened up for male customers were all obviously on the prowl for women who they thought would be all riled up and ripe for the pickin'.

I would, however, have liked to have gone to a nekkie women strip club, I think. I don't get the impression the women dancers make fun of their customers, at least to their faces.

I think all of them are mostly true statements from the same incident. Perhaps there is one minor detail in one of them that you changed to make it a lie. I'm guessing the last is the lie:

- you didn't throw up on the passenger next to you (you are too polite for that!).

You threw up all over yourself, not the passenger. Then in a desire to return to a presentable state, you took a change of clothes to the bathroom to get cleaned up, but in your drunkeness you did so in the cockpit instead. Since this is very odd behavior, you were detained by security at the airport when you landed. :detect:

I did change in the cockpit of a jet, because I knew the pilots and I was sitting in the jump seat.

[viscousmemories]

I don't get the impression the women dancers make fun of their customers, at least to their faces.
Forgive me if I've told this story before. I've only been to a few strip clubs in my life. The last time I went was about 10 years ago in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Grand Rapids is known for having a church on every corner and - as far as I could tell - only one strip club. Anyway apparently the routine there was that a woman would come out from the back, dance around on the stage a bit, then step down and go walking table to table, stopping to dance in front of each customer for a minute. (I don't think lapdance is the appropriate term when the customers are on barstools). Then they'd wait for a tip.

Well, I hadn't expected this scenario so I didn't have much cash on me. I'd only intended to have a beer, watch some naked women dancing on stage and leave. So when it occurred to me that the only way out of tipping was to explicitly tell the women not to dance at my table. So the next woman that came by (ironically the one I found most attractive) I waved her on.

She was pissed! She's over at a table 15 ft. away dancing in front of some other dude, and she sees me looking at her and yells "Don't look at me! You don't want to pay for it, don't look!" There was a slight playfulness to her tone, but I could tell she was serious. It was humiliating but fair enough. If I had been prepared to give a dollar to every woman that danced (and there were a lot of them) and I had known a dollar was enough (I wasn't up on the tipping etiquette either) I would've been happy to oblige.

[viscousmemories]

How can two of these be true? You've :stump: me, Legs! :funface: Now you've got me curious as to how this one works out. :dotell:

Coz it's a tie :wriggle: I love Disney & Tuscany wowed me. Either of these places I'd go in a heartbeat.

Vegas is okay :shrug: had fun there too

[pescifish]

Coz it's a tie :wriggle: I love Disney & Tuscany wowed me. Oh! A tie. Excellent. :yup:

Maybe when/if Leesifer is able to make her trip to Vega$ you and I can crash her party. :cool:

Combining these three themes:

- My favorite place to visit is Tokyo.

- I've never been seriously injured.

- My first pet's name was Whiskers.
Great combination, godfry! They all seem equally plausible or unlikely.
- My favorite place to visit is Tokyo.The lie.

I don't think you'd like the city frenetic bustle and crowds and I don't recall any Tokyo photos -- it was Kyoto, IIRC. Plus, I like the sound of a godfry pet named Whiskers and an injury-free life.

- I used to fake being sick on photo day in school.

- My beloved childhood pet was a dog named Groucho.

- My room as a teenager was 'wallpapered' with Iron Maiden posters. There was a Pink Floyd Poster 'Marching Hammers' on the ceiling.

Gay theme:
- I own clothes from Hollister, American Eagle, Banana Republic, etc.
- I've been on a float during a gay pride parade in a major city
- I love watching Queer as Folk and Sex in the City

Straight theme:
- I've made out with girls before
- the only hair products I own are shampoo and conditioner
- I enjoy martial arts/action films more than musicals, in general

You are quite correct. I gotta quit trying to pull geographic fast ones.

I'm gonna go with Groucho being a lie.

I don't think you like Sex in the City. It's the hair products, isn't it? That's the lie.

... and I would have gotten away with it too if not for that meddling godfry and the fictional dog!

[pescifish]

And I was thinking how much cooler it would have been if you had managed to be actually vomit sick during the school photo! You could look up with a (literally) sickly grin while the other kids would sport their faces of horror.

Straight theme:

[pescifish]

I once found a small ziploc bag containing six 15 point diamonds discarded in a stack of my old magazines and years old bills.
I dislike man-made (lab created) gemstones -- natural all the way for me!
I have an open crystal bowl full of at least 700 carats of fully faceted cut precious gemstones as a decorator item in my home's entry.

Nope! I was on a float during the Chicago gay pride parade between my junior and senior years of high school. This girl in the Univ. of Chicago program I was in, her mom worked for BankOne and they had a float in the parade, so she just asked a bunch of people to go on the float with her. And so I did.
I don't think you like Sex in the City.
You are correct, I don't like Sex and the City. Well, I've never seen a whole episode, but what I have seen was underwhelming. I've never seen a whole episode of Queer as Folk either, but I don't really have an opinion on it.

Surely this would include brushes, combs and hair dryers, too?I wasn't including my comb. I meant like, no special shampoos, or hair gel, pomade, etc.

I don't put anything in my hair after the shower, and I only use one kind of shampoo and one kind of conditioner.

Nope... the lie is that I've never made out with a girl. I have, however, sucked titties.

Ah yes, the two truths and a lie game...

- I once held the nickname "boy wonder"
- I once finished the original NES game Metroid in under an hour
- I once chased Rod Stewart out of a bar
