Two truths and a lie?

My guess is that the 1st one is a lie

I am allergic to cats
I have never been to New York
I own 4 cars but had to get a ride back home today

I’m a quiet man.
I’m a loner.
I kill transients.

I jumped into Lake Mead from a 30ft cliff.
I was voted prettiest head of hair my senior year of high school.
I danced at a gentlemen’s club for two months.

I lived in Iran for 3 years.
I scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef.
I can’t eat certain types of seafood because I’m allergic to the iodine found in shellfish.

@Blondesjon I hope the transients one is a lie. Kinda scared to be honest.

So as I tip toe slowly away from him here’s mine.

I sometimes wear odd socks for the hell of it.
My wife is pregnant.
I program in the evenings to relax.

Nice collection of these here.

Osully – programming
Critter – Ritter
VS – tonsils
JBF – only child
Allie – lied
EPZ – porno

@augustlan – you did graduate high school! C’mon!

i have a college degree
i can make films
i love driving

I was a body guard for Tom Hanks

I fly a Cessna

I have met 3 presidents

i have a cat
i like the name lee
I’ve milked a cow before

@Judi #3 You lived in a tent.
@Jack79 #2 Never been to NY
@Blondesjon #3 at least that is what I am hoping.
@jonsblonde #1 Jumped 30’ into Lake Mead
@Bluefreedom #2 That you dove the great barrier reef.
@osullivanbr #1 the others are too plausable
@critter1982 #1 That you fought a police officer
@VS #2 That your first husband was murdered (again hoping)
@jbfletcherfan #1 that you slept in a boxcar
@Allie #1 that you kissed an Ipod for over 4 hours
@evelyns_pet_zebra #1 that you co-starred in a famous porno flick
@EmpressPixie #2 the robot
@casheroo #2 for the sake of anyone who would name their kid that.
@aprilsimnel #1 You played on RR tracks
@augustlan #3 that you did not graduate high school.
@kevinhardy #1 that you have a college degree
@DrBill #1 bodyguard for Hanks
@Harrow185 #2 you like the name lee

1. When I waited tables Mickey Rooney would wait for one of my tables to open.
2. I lived off the grid for an entire summer in a cabin in the mountains.
3. I do not cry during movies or TV except for the reveals on Overhaulin.

@kevinhardy – college degree
@DrBill – 3 presidents (anyone who can hold a cat that large is surely qualified to guard Hanks!)
@Harrow185 – cat
@Dog – crying

I once tried to talk a nun into letting me drop religion class so I could take Jazz Band without dropping Spanish.

I have a Devo poster hung on the wall in my hallway.

My husband and I discussed getting a gun today so we could put it in the chest of drawers that holds the good Scotch and the clove cigarettes and call it “the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms”. But then we found out that the name of the government bureau has the word “explosives” in it these days and that’s just much too far to go for a joke.

Now for my guesses.
@Judi: The Brady Bunch didn’t have a lot of extras, so if that one’s true I’ll be impressed. I’m guessing it’s the lie.
@Jack79: cats.
@Blondesjon: transients.
@jonsblond: club dancer.
@Bluefreedom: 3 years.
@osullivanbr: pregnant.
@critter1982: allergic.
@VS: tonsils.
@Allie: iPod.
@jbfletcherfan: Only child.
@evelyns_pet_zebra: I’m going with sailboat/pickup truck just to be ornery.
@EmpressPixie: Boyfriend.
@casheroo: Faiser Frazer.
@aprilsimnel: PC. I bet you made an earlier one, but not the one you’re currently using.
@augustlan: Post Office.
@kevinhardy.:driving
@DrBill: Tom Hanks.
@Harrow185: cat.
@Dog: crying.

@cyndyh Even though your last one cracked me up, I say it’s the lie.

Since it is now 1:21 a.m. on Saturday, March 14th, the deadline for Judi’s revelations about our truth and lies, I’ll go first.

Most of you guessed correctly on my lie (nice job everyone). I have never scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef.

I lived in the Kerman province of Iran, in a town called Rafsanjan (and then in a townsite outside of the Sarcheshmeh copper mine) in 1976–77, 1977–78, 1978–79.

I cannot eat shellfish such as lobster and crab legs because of the iodine content in that seafood. It makes me highly nauseous if I eat it.

All right:

I never had a popsicle stick sculpture in an art show. It was tissue-paper flowers.

My entire junior high art class painted murals on the windows at our local post office’s request every season for a few years. When the higher-ups at the regional (federal?) headquarters caught wind of it, they made us stop. They said we were defacing government property! party poopers. :(

I am, in fact, a high school dropout. I don’t even have my G.E.D.

I don’t think anybody guessed my lie, is that right?

I was pretty sure Blue hadn’t lived in Iran for 3 years. Maybe 1 or 2, or maybe another country, but not Iran for 3.

I am pretty sure both blodesjon and jonsblonde lied about #3, as well as VS (never heard of tonsils growing back).

jb probably doesn’t play the organ (but I could be wrong) and I really hope Allie did not get a kid into trouble (in any case, it’s the least probable).

All of zebra’s aer pretty incredible. A wild guess would be the porn (simply because of the “very famous” part). I’d buy it if it was an amateur production.

I was pretty sure Augustlan finised high school, but it turns out I was wrong.

And Kevin did mention having a degree, so I’ll go with the car. I bet he can’t even drive one.

If DrBill is a bodyguard, then it makes sense he’d be one for Tom Hanks and also meet 3 presidents. And I think he already mentioned being Bush Sr’s one. So unless he was the bodyguard for 3 presidents and only met Tom Hanks once, I’d go with the Cessna.

Harrow’s are hard but my gut instinct says “cow”.

Dog’s #1 and cyndy’s #3 sound like lies.

And yes, most of you guessed it right – I’m not really allergic to cats (though I have sneezed sometimes if there’s too much cat hair everywhere). I have 2 cars in Greece (an old one and a new one I bought after a recent accident) and one in the Czech Republic which is stuck there and is not worth either transporting or selling. My ex wife has my 4th car, and won’t give it back. And I am currently in Poland, which is why I needed to get a lift.

Unlike most people here I am Australian, not American. I have never even been to the US, let alone New York.

@Jack79

Congrats, you got it right.

I was body guard for Tom Hanks when he was in Indiana making the movie A League of their own with Madonna & Gina Davis.
If you want to see me, I am dressed in a brown business suit sitting right behind home plate when they are at Racine field

I have never learned to fly, but always wanted to.

I was with Ragain, and both Bush’s
still think I should have been in The Bodyguard but they got some “movie star” instead

I believe @EmpressPixie is the only one that guessed right for me. I was never voted prettiest hair. Though I should have been! ;)

My guess for lies, including those that have already answered:
@Judi you never swam with sharks
@Jack79 was going to guess cats
@Bluefreedom never dove in GBR
@osullivanbr your wife isn’t pregnant
@critter1982 you didn’t fight the police officer
@VS tonsils didn’t come back
@Jeruba you love to play this game :)
@jbfletcherfan you’re not the only child
@Allie you didn’t lie
@evelyns_pet_zebra no porn movie for you
@EmpressPixie no boozey coffee
@casheroo didn’t run for treasurer
@aprilsimnel didn’t play on the tracks alone
@augustlan you didn’t paint on the windows
@DrBill I was thinking you had only met 2 presidents, not 3
@Harrow185 you don’t like the name Lee
@Dog you don’t cry during movies
@cyndyh Devo poster isn’t in the hall

Some got it right, some got it wrong, but I was NOT caught with my boozy coffee last night.

Only two of you guessed something right on me.

I AM an only child.
I DID play the organ for church for many years
I NEVER slept in a boxcar.

I think @cyndyh is the only one who got mine right. Although I was about the same age as Cindy Brady, I was never on the show. I did dive with sharks in the truck lagoon and I lived in a tent when I had a 1.5 year old daughter and was pregnant with my second. What was I thinking? This was fun! Lurve to you all!

@critter1982 ; My first father in law used to change John Ritter’s diapers. His father was friends with Tex Ritter and was a champion whistler on the Grand Ol Opry! If your related then there is a chance my family knew your family.

@Judi interesting stuff there. :-)

Nope, sorry Judi, I’m not related to John Ritter.
Oh and the key word was I “tried” to fight a police officer. Didn’t get very far, mainly got some handcuffs and thrown in the slammer for a night…..and this is why I don’t drink as much as I used to!

Here we go, the answers.

The Lie: I never starred in a porn movie, I’m too shy to be naked on camera.

The Truths: I DID crash a pickup truck into a sailboat (on a trailer) when I was about 18 yrs old, and I am an officially ordained minister (reverend) by the ULC of Modesto, CA. Have been since 2005. I decided it would be a handy title to have should any atheist/nonbeliever friends seek a different route in order to be married, rather than the dullness of a court ceremony or going to a church they didn’t belong to, as I did.

@Judi a good friend of mine told me stories of his Mom baby-sitting the Howard boys (Ron and Clint) when he was a youngster. He grew up to interview them about their movie careers and during one interview, my friend related to Clint that he used to run around the house after flinging off his diape, which was a mistake, as it brought an abrupt end to that particular interview.

Sadly, my friend is dead now. He always had some wonderful stories about the old schlocky movies from the 50’s and 60’s.

I never guessed anyone’s elses lies and truths because like guessing weight or age, I suck at stuff like that.

The truths: I did play around the railroad tracks by myself. They were two blocks from my house down a steep incline. I’d sometimes go sit on a knoll near the actual tracks and watch the trains roll by. Sometimes the engineers would toot the horn.

I have been on TV twice, once on a prime time show as an extra for more than a couple of seconds and once on a late night show in a sketch.

The lie: I didn’t build my latest computer, but I’ve swapped parts in and out of it.

@cyndyh and @augustlan caught me out!

@Jack79 – you’re possibly the first musician I’ve known of who’s never been to NYC! Wow.

I’m a little late, but…

Kiddie porn shots were taken of me.
I used to shoot heroin daily.
My dad killed someone by accident.

Most of you got mine wrong. I actually did not throw up on my wedding day…surprisingly.
I did lose to a kid named Fraiser Frazer. Poor guy, he was such a weird kid. I always wonder what happened to him.

I know GoS’s, so I won’t tell. lol

Today is the reveal- and here is mine.

#1 is true. Mickey Rooney loves fried chicken with 3 strawberry jellies. He would wait for my section to open up and we would talk. He is a very interesting person and his wife is very nice. I have also waited on Nick Nolte and another regular who is really a great guy is Ned Beatty. There have been other celebs but those were my most memorable.

#2 is FALSE- I did live off the grid in a mountain cabin with no running water or electricity for a month but that was all. I had planned to stay the whole summer but could no longer take the ice cold outside shower.

#3 is TRUE- For some reason, even though I do not cry in epic movies or other dramas I can often be reduced to tears by the “reveal” of a pristine restored car on Overhaulin. Especially when the car holds sentimental value to the owner. One case a man had a pickup truck that he and his father had rebuilt many years back. It needed another rebuild and the man’s father had passed on. The Overhaulin team “stole” the truck and refurbished it from the frame up and added his fathers signature on the glove box. Yes- I cried like a baby when the man saw it.

Some of you are going to be disappointed.

Truth 1: I did dump my first boyfriend after 28 hours.
Truth 2: I did lie in elementary school to get another kid suspended. I feel bad that you all hoped it was the lie.
The lie: I did not kiss an iPod for over four hours to win it.

The background 1: I went out with a boy named Billy for 28 hours until the next school day when a boy named James asked me out. Sorry, Billy.
The background 2: The kid I got suspended was a bully. She did something mean to my friend and I told my friend she wouldn’t get away with it – then I plotted revenge. I told another kid that if she bit me on the arm just enough to leave a mark that I would give her my sandwich at lunch. She did and I told the teacher that the bully was the one who bit me. The bully girl got sent home and wasn’t allowed back for a while. Also, (and this part is kind of funny in a slightly twisted way) when I went to the nurses office the nurse looked at the marks on my arm and looked at the mean girls teeth and “confirmed” that it was in fact her bite.
I haven’t done shit like that in yearsssss though. =]

GoS: it’s the first time in my life I’m wishing someone was a junkie

@Jack79: Why?

Because I’d hate to think of the alternative, ie that your first sentence was true.

1) I’m an ordained minister.
2) I have mismatched eyes; one is blue, the other green.
3) I once had dinner with a famous outlaw killer.

As I’m late to the party here, I’ll reveal all later this PM. Curious to see which one everyone thinks is the lie.

Astrochuck: You are not an ordained minister. Because I just want the other two to be true.

GoS: Jack is 100% right—there are two on there that I really don’t want to be true. Just because I don’t. And I think half of how I guess these are either choosing common experiences because they are the obvious lies or choosing the ones I realllllly don’t want to be true.

@EmpressPixie: Which two do you really not want to be true?

Kiddie porn and heroine. Your dad accidentally killing someone doesn’t have to be awful. There is a far better chance that there are explanatory circumstances for that than for the others.

@EmpressPixie: My dad accidentally killing someone is… TRUE!

He was on his way to work in the morning, and an 88-year-old drunk man was riding his bicycle along the median of the road. Out of nowhere, he turned into the road, directly in front of my dad’s car, and my dad hit him. He died. :(

This was especially unfortunate because my daddy is the nicest, most amazing, most honest, most fair person in the world. And everyone felt bad that he, of all people, had to have that on his conscience. :(

@girlofscience: But it does not—in any way—speak poorly of your father that it happened to him. It wasn’t really his fault. That’s what I meant by explanatory circumstances.

AC, I call # 1 as the lie.

GofS, so which one is the lie… porn or heroin?

@AstroChuck: I’ll guess the mismatched eyes.
@girlofscience: I hope it’s the first one.

For mine. The nun story is absolutely true. I went to a Catholic high school and that nun had to approve my schedule. I made jazz band and had to drop something. Someday I’ll learn some more Spanish. :^>

I do have a Devo poster hanging in the hall along with posters of BB King, Gov’t Mule, and Death Cab for Cutie. There are others in other places in the house.

And I’m not so good at lying so I had to make the lie mostly true. I did have that conversation with my husband. I don’t like guns much, so this included side conversations about what constitutes a “firearm” and whether you could call a crossbow a firearm or not or if gun powder had to be present. The lie was when I said we discussed it “today”. Without that word that last one would have been true, too.

@cyndyh- Right you are. I have two of the most beautiful blue eyes. Actually, it’s the only physical part of me that I like.

@augustlan: Heroin was the lie. I’ve never even tried it, let alone did it everyday.

“Kiddie porn” pics were taken of me when I was 14, although they weren’t very explicit (topless only), and I’m not sure that really qualifies as kiddie porn? But I was definitely underage, and it was definitely illegal.

I had just completed a photoshoot on a boat for some magazine ad or something, and the photographer asked if I wanted to go back to his studio for some more pictures later. Stupidly, I said “sure” because I was naive and didn’t expect anything bad to happen to me. We went back to his studio, and he was taking a bunch of pictures of me in my bikini. Then, he came over to me to “adjust” my bikini, and he untied the top part. Shocked, I stood there frozen. (I was just so young and inexperienced. I had no idea what to say or how to handle myself.) He then took pictures of me topless at 14!

I hope they’re not on the internet somewhere. :(

@GofS Ugh. I hope he rots in hell. I’m sorry that happened to you.

@Chuckie That makes you the second atheist ordained minister I’ve found on Fluther.

@girlofscience – :(

well, it may not exactly qualify as “kiddy” porn, but I certainly wouldn’t like anyone to do that to my daughter, 4, 14 or 24.

At least you’re here today to tell the story. If it were my child, he wouldn’t.

Yes, I did not tell my parents that happened! They would have murdered him!!!

Haha everyone who guessed mine was rong I’ve never milked a cow good try though!

For those who guessed – my tonsils never grew back, but I had an aunt whose tonsils did grow back. The other two are true and my screenname has nothing to do with Victoria’s Secret…
