Two truths and a lie.

Silver Fire · #1 5th March 2009, 08:35 PM

I see some who are familiar but even more who are not so I think there should be a thread where we all post stuff about ourselves so we can get a better idea of who we're hanging out with these days. This is that thread. I was going to make it an either/or random list, story mode sort of introduction thread, but I love TTAAL so here we go.

1) I do not like pets.

2) I don't particularly like chocolate.

3) I don't like football.

I'm putting this here and not in the game room first because I figure it'll be more conversation than game in the end and second because Giraffe didn't bother selecting mods yet so I figure odds are good I'll get away with it.

Mirhanda · #2 5th March 2009, 08:41 PM

1. I love jewelry and purses

2. Fuchsia is my favorite color

3. I think computer games are for losers.

lvgeogeek · #3 5th March 2009, 09:00 PM

1. I love shoes and handbags.

2. I am a vegetarian.

3. I own two houses.

Silver Fire · #4 5th March 2009, 09:05 PM

(You guys are supposed to also guess which one of the previous poster's three is a lie.)

Mirhanda: 3

lvgeogeek: 1

Mirhanda · #5 5th March 2009, 09:08 PM

To be fair, you didn't say that in your post. I'd guess your lie is 2.

Rabid Renaissance · #6 5th March 2009, 09:27 PM

1) My official job title is "Paranoid".

2) I find nothing more disgusting than avocados.

3) I've assisted in the necropsies of 5 mountain lions, simultaneously.

I'll wager that lvgeogeek is not a vegetarian.

davew0071 · #7 6th March 2009, 02:22 AM

1. I have a pilot's license.

2. I've never broken a bone.

3. My parents named my siblings and me in alphabetical order.

I'm guessing Rabid Renaissance's lie is is the avocados one. Probably loves 'em, and eats them at every chance.

No, I really don't like chocolate very much. Sometimes I get into "OMG, chocolate NOW!" mode but that's pretty rare and even then it only takes a very little bit.

I think I've used that tidbit in just about every TTAAL I've ever participated in. Most people think it's the lie. I think I could be like "Well, I'm a student and I don't particularly like chocolate. Oh, and I hold a ritualistic sacrifice of minority babies/fondue party at my house twice monthly." and people would be like "Of COURSE you like chocolate!"

davewoo: 3

Metallic Squink · #9 6th March 2009, 06:44 AM

1. I've been to the Taj Mahal.

2. I will not look at pictures of your cat.

3. In heels, I'm about 6'3".

GillianBoardman · #10 6th March 2009, 07:00 AM

Metallic Squink: 2

1. I have been an illegal alien.

2. My daughter believes canabilism is viable option for disposal of the dead.

Wrong! Guess again!

For you, I say number 3 is a lie.

Uthrecht · #12 6th March 2009, 07:03 AM

GillianBoardman: 1

1) I love sandals, and think they're the most comfortable footwear.
2) I enjoy hiking when I get the chance.
3) I hate using moisturizer.

I like hiking. There goes your theory!

I'd say 1.

Now. I gotta think about this.

1) Barry (The Fish) Melton wrote me a personal check.
2) I have a 4.0 GPA in college.
3) I can play six musical instruments.

I think if you think really hard about this, you'll realize that you don't really like hiking and that you'd rather be sitting on your couch watching shows about hiking. I mean it's all dirty out in nature and the bugs - think of all those bugs!! And where do you go to the bathroom? And don't you get all sweaty when you're hiking? And you have to eat granola bars and take your poo back home with you.

However, my camera doesn't have THAT good a telephoto lens. Mind you, I don't care for overnight hiking.

I'll move swifly on from the poo. As I do in nature.

Silver Fire · #25 6th March 2009, 07:35 AM

Hey! I guessed number one first!

Missy: 3

Somebody still has to guess mine. Number 2 was true so you've got a 50/50 chance.

That smilie makes absolutely no sense in this context, I just like that he looks rather like a movie star/alien!

Ah, so you did. I missed it in the dogpile of posts since I looked away. You win! You may collect your prize in the back alley behind the rusty dumpster. I'll be the one in the overcoat.

Silver Fire · #29 6th March 2009, 07:39 AM

Yeah, I like football. I missed most of last season because I work Sundays now. I did catch a few moments from time to time in the day room or in resident rooms (I work in a nursing home) but I can't really keep up with it anymore. :/

It's so sad.

Oh, I'm posting three more. You guys should, too.

1) I also got a 4.0 in college.

2) I've never eaten sushi.

3) I share a birthday with the guy inside C3PO.

Like I'd ever believe someone didn't like football! Next you're going to tell me there are people out there that don't like NASCAR.

If it makes you feel better, you guessed the right answer too before I gave it, so you can share in the prize. Again, just behind the dumpster.

You are correct sir.

1) My partner and I are attempting to save $ for a trip to Machu Picchu by stuffing a few bills from our pockets into a tin on top of the refrigerator every now and then.

2) We have 6 pets.

3) I've filed my taxes already this year.

Silver: The sushi is a lie!

Silver Fire · #35 6th March 2009, 08:11 AM

No, it really isn't. I've never eaten sushi. I've got a new sig though, thanks!

I don't think you have six pets.

Rabid Renaissance · #36 6th March 2009, 08:17 AM

I am a very consistent tax procrastinator. We have 4 cats and 2 dogs.

Five. Seriously.

I'm working on another three, but it requires I think so I will be back later.

Mirhanda · #38 6th March 2009, 08:47 AM

Silver Fire: 1

1. I love coffee

2. I love snow, glorious snow!

3. My favorite movie is the Lord of the Rings trilogy

Silver Fire · #39 6th March 2009, 08:47 AM

WHICH FIVE?! The suspense is killing me!

Missy2U · #40 6th March 2009, 08:53 AM

Flute
Piccolo
Guitar
Piano
Organ

Silver Fire · #41 6th March 2009, 08:55 AM

Neat!

Yes, Mirhanda, I did not get a 4.0 in college. I think it's at something like 3.97 right now because of an A- (I didn't even know you could get an A- in college) in a basic Microsoft course, which is just SO EFFING STUPID. Oh well.

You win!

RR is your lie is #2

Sorry, I really do love the LotR trilogy.

My brain cells little on the slow side today... It was your first one way up at the top... that computer games are for losers. Same goes for Silver Fire's lie about hating football.

I didn't read the rest of the thread until after I posted.

Mirhanda · #45 6th March 2009, 09:27 AM

Oh hehehe, yeah, I love computer games (not so much console games though, but I still don't think even they are for losers.) I've been playing WoW for over a year (and I'm still a rank noob even though I have two 80s.)

I'm seriously looking forward to Diablo III! Diablo II is one of my all time favorite games EVER! The one thing I would've changed about it was to make each class both sexes. It always bugged me that I couldn't play a female barbarian. I named my barbarian character "Jennifer" in protest. Anyway, looks like in Diablo III they are fixing that exact problem!

WednesdayAddams · #46 6th March 2009, 09:44 AM

1. My life is consumed by Philosophy right now
2. I can usually find something nice to say about everyone
3. I think the Bill Murray version of Fear & Loathing is better than the Johnny Depp remake

woodstockbirdybird · #47 6th March 2009, 09:50 AM

MarissaW, I'd like to believe #3 is your lie.

1. I hate sports
2. I love sci-fi/fantasy
3. I hate westerns

WednesdayAddams · #48 6th March 2009, 10:00 AM

Yes, that's correct although it's a very near thing. I really liked Peter Boyle in that movie.

#3 is a lie. While the Bill Murray Hunter S Thompson movie was good in it's own right, it was definitely not better than Fear & Loathing with Johnny Depp.
