1) I prefer doing dishes by hand
2) In high school a short story of mine was chosen for an anthology

Posted: **Sat Jan 15, 2022 10:57 am**

Yeah, well, I have been lying too much—cheating by putting two lies instead of one. I am not a 250lb dwarf called Gimli who has a pet rock.

My middle name is Anne, and I knit green hats.
Let's see if I can get this right.

Negative. I didn’t take the tree when I moved to a new house. My *intention* for the last 3 years has been to buy a new tree, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Edit: the lie was 3.

Lie guess: 1. You have a dishwasher. It seems to me, dishwashers aren’t as common household appliances as I think they are.

1. I haven’t left the state I live in since the pandemic (so January 2020)
2. I collect bookmarks from whatever city I’m visiting.
3. Curling is my favorite Olympic sport to watch

Lie guess: 3 (Not that curling cannot be interesting...)

2. I collect sports equipment.
3. I like making smoothies.

Posted: **Wed Jan 19, 2022 4:17 pm**

Lie Guess: You know, I have no basis for anything so I'm going to say 1

2) I wear a toque at work during the winter.

Pele Alarion wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 3:25 pm Lie guess: 3 (Not that curling cannot be interesting...)

Correct. Curling is up there near the top, but my favorite is US women’s soccer then probably men’s hockey.

Lie guess: I’m going to say 2, because while you’ve said you met Howe, it was Lee who drew the Gandalf for you :)

1. I have not worked for the same company longer than 5 years
2. When I pick up tongs I always click them together.
3. A broken leg, broken arm, and torn acl are my only serious injuries.

Lie guess: Gonna say 3

Nope that one’s true, we didn’t start dating until many years later but I went to elementary school with my wife. I am not a vegetarian.

Lie guess: going to say 1. Even though nowadays that’s pretty normal especially in some industries. The other two just seem so specific enough to be real.

1. I’ve seen every episode of the TV series “Unsolved Mysteries”.
2. I have two middle names.
3. I went to 5 different schools in 5 consecutive years.

Posted: **Mon Jan 24, 2022 4:54 pm**

Romeran - Lie Guess: 3. The other two seem suspiciously specific. Maybe you have 1 cat or 3 cats or no cats!

Correct, I have no cats.

Frost - Well, if you built your desk, you must keep your college books on the bookshelf beside it. So I will say you did not meet that guy at comic con, #3

Lie Guess: 3

1) I have long hair.
2) I am scared of dogs.
3) I used to play ice hockey.

Lie Guess: 2 (I'm guessing this one because I hope this one is the lie, I love dogs!)

1. I read Dune for the first time after seeing the recent movie
2. I spent 10 years in total in college (undergraduate + graduate)

Romeran wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 12:45 pm Lie guess: going to say 1. Even though nowadays that’s pretty normal especially in some industries. The other two just seem so specific enough to be real.

Correct. I was with the same company for 7 years, until leaving in January 2020.

Lie guess: 3. I'm just an ignorant American, but for what it's worth, I do want to visit London so I would guess everyone else would do so if they had the opportunity. And any place in Norway seems more appealing than Rotterdam. I know nothing about Rotterdam, but it doesn't seem like a nice place to visit. I think it's the name.

I have met (meaning in-person/introduced myself to/conversed with)
1. Composer John Williams
2. Former US President, Barack Obama
3. Former Jeopardy host Alex Trebek

I am indeed color blind. I spent only a measly 9 years in college (undergraduate + graduate)

Lie Guess: 2? This is a tough one. The tear on the third one makes me think that it might be true. (1) and (2) seem like a toss up, without knowing more about you.

1. I'm a co-author with a nobel prize winner
2. I went bungee jumping in Mexico when I was 14
3. I've been horse back riding

I am afraid of dogs, especially strangers dogs. I had a few bad experiences when I was young. When I was young, dogs were not always leashed and allowed to run the streets. I have never played ice hockey.

Lie guess: 3

1) I caught a swordfish once.
2) I saw Madonna when she was a material girl.
3) I am a scrabble junky.

Unfortunately it's a negative this time. It was 3, although the tears was more because he died from cancer last year. I have met one of the current co-hosts, Ken Jennings a couple times now...but always wanted to meet Trebek and wasn't able to.

John Williams was a brief hello, great show, watching the Boston Pops 4th of July performance. President Obama was during his 1st presidential campaign, he visited a renowned local farm, picking blueberries.

Lie guess: 1. Just a random guess.

My favorite sports teams are...
1. Detroit Lions (NFL)
2. Detroit Pistons (NBA)
3. Liverpool FC (EPL)

Today I:

1. Took my work meetings lying down on my couch

Sorry!

I had him sign a copy of "Dreamsongs" before the series, or the last book in the ASOIAF series came out, before his laziness really took root in him

Lie Guess:: I'm gonna say 2, Breaking Bad doesn't quite seem like your kind of show (though it did film in ABQ when I lived there and that was kind of cool)

1. I prefer tea to coffee
2. I used to have those LotR glass goblet things they sold at Burger King back when the original trilogy was in theatres
3. I've gone cave diving in Mexico

Today one of the kids in class...

1. Gave himself new bangs with a pair of classroom scissors.
2. Said the main teacher "treats me like I'm adopted."
3. Hooked onto my leg and asked me to drag her to the cafeteria.

Posted: **Tue Feb 01, 2022 10:58 pm**

Already told Frost he is wroooooong! BB is the best show evah!
