Truth, Truth, Lie...a game

[Angeline]

Awwwwwwww luv n stuff to EE

Thank you dear Annie. I'll pass the love and stuff along to him. Lol, but not for a few days.

Turns out it's a neck spasm, not a ruptured disk as we feared. So he's all drugged up and neck braced for 3-4 days. He'll be fine.

And I'm exhausted from sitting in the same chair waiting for hours. And I was so afeared of catching swine flu that I'm all Purelled up. I'm antiseptic.

If it wasn't for the potential blindness, I'd suggest ingesting the purell. LOL. I'm glad ee-T is only spazzed .

I'll be hopping on SL sometime soon so I'll warm up some poetics to virtualize ...

I've decided to take some courses at the community college here and sort of rejoin the working stiffs. I'm still only going to do the work that makes me happy so we'll see. PT may return to my focus, if I can keep one.

Luv and stuff...

Thanks darlin from both of us (although he seems rather out of it at the moment lol, but I'm sure he thanks you, too ).

There's a online reading coming up this Sunday, so let me know if you're interested,

Oh poor EE he has my sympathies spasms are not nice as I know when I sprained my sacro illiac and they kept bringing me to a sudden halt swearing profusely!

Here is the game.

1. You write three things about yourself-- two are true, one is a lie. Post it on this thread.

2. We guess which are the truth, which is the lie.

3. When replying, use the quote function and just write TRUTH or LIE next to their statement.


I will do a sample below.

Next Friday, we will post the answers and see how well we do (or don't) know each other.

Feel free to chatter and speculate.

Anna, this is a fun thread. Several participants gave three short formulations of their items, great! Myself, I was thinking about a series of triplets of mini-stories rather than triplets of single sentence statements. Do you think you may like it? Should such a triplet be posted in this thread or in a separate thread, with a note in the title "(2 truths + 1 lie)? Each triplet could be devoted to its own one theme.

[miss_trust]

haven't been around in a while & am having a hard time tracking who's spilled the beans about which possibilities so i'm not making any guesses atm but here are my true/true/false maybes...

1. I was kidnapped
2. I was engaged at 16
3. I solved a Rubik's Cube in under 1min

my answers are ....
1. true: my father kidnapped my brother & me when we were small children... took us out of the country & i remember none of it...
2. true: When i was 14 i met an 18yr old in France... came home, kept in touch; went back when i was 16 & he proposed/i accepted... not something many in Massachusetts looked on favorably & my mother had to fend off more than one sharp tongue in our defense
3. false: alas, i was a member of mensa international at some distant point in the past but have not ever solved a Rubik's Cube in under... i don't know... a day?... and never in one sitting lol

Here are my three mini-stories to fit with Senna's brief:

1. A couple of years ago I produced a performance of Dylan Thomas’ poem Do not go gentle into that good night on the stage of our local university’s theatre before an invited audience. I had been on a free poetry production course paid for by the local council despite being the only non-professional event producer involved. We used professional actors and were taught by well-known people who had significant production careers. After that production I managed to get poetry included in our local festival. This week the second poetry activity I introduced will be staged again.

2. In the 1960s I hired Eric Clapton and a pop group that had recently had a top ten hit to perform for a private party in a conference room of a London Heathrow hotel. I paid £25 for the entertainment. The group, roadies and hangers-on outnumbered the party guests but we all joined together rocking to the music. We had considered hiring The Beatles but couldn’t get a free date that fitted.

3. On the way by ship from the UK to Australia I was part of a small group who toured the ruins of Pompeii in Italy. We had a private viewing for two hours before the site was open to the general public. Our group of forty people were nearly outnumbered by the guides. Further on our voyage we landed in Sri Lanka. On the way to Kandy we stopped to see working elephants. I was able to ride bareback on one of the elephants. Elephant hair is like needles and pierced my skin which is why bareback riding is unusual. In Kandy we visited the Temple of the Tooth containing one of Buddha’s teeth. We were personally shown around the Temple by the Abbott of the Buddhist Monastery who control the Temple.

1. [...] I produced a performance of Dylan Thomas’ poem Do not go gentle into that good night [...]

2. In the 1960s I hired Eric Clapton [...]

3. [...] Our group of forty people were nearly outnumbered by the guides. [...] Elephant hair is like needles and pierced my skin [...]

I'd say:

1. True
2. False
3. True

Nice stories.

You are right but 2 is only partly false. I didn't pay for it. I was Vice-Chairman of the social group that organised the party. I wasn't even a signatory on the cheque. We didn't hire Eric Clapton. He came, and performed, as one of the friends of the group. We did consider The Beatles but they would have cost more and their free dates didn't fit.

Three more - ceremonial

1. My father was introduced to Her Majesty The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on three separate times in one day. He was introduced with different titles each time.

2. I attended a Buckingham Palace garden party with a very large knife worn on my belt. No one questioned the presence of the knife. I was NOT in military uniform.

3. My first full time job started after I received a letter on parchment headed:

"Sir, I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty" and ending:

"I beg to remain, Sir, your most humble and obedient servant."

[UnderYourSpell]

Well if we are going for the posh stuff

1 My husband was introduced to Sir Winston Churchill when he was staying at Luton Hoo
2 My table of friends were escorted from the building after upsetting a Royal giving a speech when one of the party hollered at a waiter and reduced us all to a state of giggles.
3 My husband got very drunk on pints of port in Covent Garden on his birthday after dining with Prince Michael of Kent. Somebody stole his regalia on the underground and one of his friends went and stole it back

1. My father was introduced to Her Majesty The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on three separate times in one day. He was introduced with different titles each time.

TRUE. He was in Gibraltar which has a very small population (about 28,000 then). One introduction was in his official, work, capacity. The second was as Chairman of a sports club. The third was as Chairman of selectors for Miss Gibraltar. The successful Miss Gibraltar went straight in to the Miss World contest. She was chosen from the lowest population number of any Miss World contestant.

2. I attended a Buckingham Palace garden party with a very large knife worn on my belt. No one questioned the presence of the knife. I was NOT in military uniform.

NOT QUITE TRUE. It wasn't a knife. It was a 24 inch machete. One of the Buckingham Palace staff queried it. I said that it was part of my uniform as an Australian Scout. He agreed that I could continue to wear it if I promised on my Scout's Honour not to draw it. I did. I can't imagine that happening now, nor that I could I have travelled by London Transport to Buckingham Palace wearing a machete.

PS. I was there to direct the Garden Party visitors' cars. After the event I joined the other scouts for tea in the Palace (in the servants' quarters of course!).

3. My first full time job started after I received a letter on parchment headed:

"Sir, I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty" and ending:

"I beg to remain, Sir, your most humble and obedient servant."

Og

TRUE. I joined the Admiralty after taking an extensive written examination set up after an 1870 report. It was the last year that examination was held in the 1870 format. A couple of years later the letter would have been on ordinary paper from the Civil Service Commission.

1 True ...... actually he was a little boy at the time and Sir Winston patted him on the head
2 False ...... they didn't kick us out but we got some very dirty looks which only served to increase the giggles
3 True ....... It was his 60th birthday and he got absolutely plastered

Activities - True or False

1. According to the rules of sport, I could have played for my country for Wales, England, United Kingdom, Gibraltar and Australia - shame I was useless at sports!

2. In the 1960's I was a member on call for a Cave Rescue team yet I never entered a cave.

3. As a ten-year-old I used to catch fish with my bare hands and sell them to a fishmonger to increase my pocket money.

1. True. Born in Wales to English parents therefore Wales, England and United Kingdom. Once resident in and held a Colony of Gibraltar passport (which caused me problems entering then Communist Yugoslavia). Resident in and a student in Australia, at that time permitted to be a permanent resident therefore qualified for Australia.

2. True. I was the standby winch man at the cave entrance, checking the rescuers in and out. My responsibility meant that I should not enter the cave. I was far too large to be any use inside a cave system.

3. False. It wasn't fish. It was squid (when I was in Gibraltar).

Correct!
1 One of the mad fool things I did in my youth!
2 True but it wasn't my fault! I used to work shifts and every 6 days used to get 3 days off so we used to try and work it so they could be tagged on the end of leave. Every week one member of the staff was put on days to help out whichever shift was on. Guess who was supposed to be working? Yeah right! Now I don't think it would take a rocket scientist to figure out that I wasn't going to be around on those 3 days so whoever worked out the rosta must have had minced meat for brains or was in a very vindictive mood. But that's the services for you I also got charged another time for having a dead fly under a book. Watch out England national security is at risk Annie has dead flies on her windowsill!
3 False ... it wasn't me but I do think the girl that walked in on them in the NAAFI loo went over the top I mean is it worth ruining someones career just because you got a bit of a shock?!!
