[April Fools Game]Two Truths and a Lie!

oops!

 

Diving into the deep end!

1. I went to boarding school
2. I was in a college performance of Mousetrap.
3. I have been in the middle of a roiling mosh pit, struggling to stay on my feet and keep others from being trampled as well.

 

I guess I was in too much of a hurry. I apologize.

 

I believe that number 3 is the lie!

 

@brodiew: I believe that #1 is the lie.

-------------

1. I may (or may not) be related to the 19th century politician James G. Blaine, "The Liar from Maine."
2. I'm wearing this hooded dress right now.
3. My cats all have four legs, but my dog only has three.

 

Excellent guess,@Pandora , but, alas, incorrect. I was never in a college production of 'Mouse Trap'. The only acting, on stage, I ever did was in a church production of a play no one's ever heard of.

1. My first 2 years of High school were at the Asheville School in North Carolina.Iin the mid eighties it was boys only but we had seven female day students.

3. That mosh pit experience in downtown Seattle at the bumbershoot festival was a harrowing, but exhilarating experience. It was the first and the last

 

@Pandora, I'm going with #2 even though I can see that being your style!

1. I have never seen a monkey outside of a zoo.
2. Coffee tastes like leaves in its normal form, but I love it as a flavoring in treats
3. I love roller coasters!

 

@Kahara I'm going to guess #3


1. I am related to infamous Canadian Metis rebel Louis Riel
2. One of my best friends is a descendant of Captain Henry Morgan
3. I never got detention in high school

 

You are correct, @Kahara! I'm not wearing that dress right now, since I don't own it. Not only that, but I never will own it: the hoods are the rarest and most coveted of unicorns amongst Gunne Sax dresses. I have only ever seen one of them come up for sale several times over the years since I began collecting, and they were known to be expensive before the current prairie dress trend. Now they are as rare as they ever were, or even more so--and they can sell for as high as $700, or even more.

----

As for the other two: according to family lore on my paternal side, we are indeed allegedly related, in some vague way, to James G. Blaine, the "Liar from Maine" whose name rhymed with that of his state, the "Silver-Tongued Orator" who didn't talk well enough to beat Grover Cleveland. (My paternal grandfather's mother's maiden name was Blaine.) When I did some internet research on a whim, I didn't come up with any evidence to either support a connection, or definitively refute one. But the one thing I really know about my great-grandmother's father is that he was a dirt poor broom maker--and James G. Blaine was a politician who made a run for the presidency. None of his close relatives were going to be poor.

My guess is that my great-great grandfather was probably a distant cousin to Blaine, at the closest. But while I think the family story is of dubious truth at best, it is true that the story exists.

And yes, my dog only has three legs: she was in an accident whilst trying to herd the lawn mower last summer (border collie--enough said) and had to have her right foreleg amputated.

 

@Briannakin #3 is the lie.

1. I'm a Reylo shipper.
2. My dad knew the stuntman who did Boba Fett's tumble into the Sarlaac pit in ROTJ.
3. My favorite Star Trek captain is Janeway.

 

Nope Never got detention because I never got caught (I did, however get kicked out of band class one time thanks to the aforementioned pirate descendant but that mostly because we were laughing so hard that HE LOST THE TRIANGLE). Number 1 is the lie. I am not related to Louis Riel. However, he and my great-great-grandfather were best friends and best men at each-other's weddings. It's never been quite know how involved my ancestor was in the Red River and Northwest rebellions (possibly because he never was caught ), but according to family tales, it was quite a lot.

 

@Briannakin, that is a great guess based on my personality -- but no. For some reason, I really enjoy the near-death experience of hurtling through the air in a Rube Goldberg machine.

#1 is the lie, because I was lucky enough to go on a trip to Costa Rica and Nicaragua several years ago. There were quite a few monkeys to be seen in some of the places, including the jungle right next to a beach we visited in Costa Rica. You have to watch your beach supplies kind of carefully there! Apparently they'll sometimes take stuff from the beach if you're not paying attention. I didn't see this in person, but I believe it for sure.

And yeah, I like coffee flavoring more than actual coffee most of the time!

 

[mention]Cowgirl Jedi 1701 [/mention] Number 3 is the lie, you really just love Picard

1. I have 7 siblings
2. I have been trying to rewrite a fanfic for the last twenty years
3. I have a puppy named Evie

I'm torn between 1 and 3... I'm going to say #1 is the lie.

1. I was born without a sense of smell.
2. I struggled academically all the way through primary and secondary school.
3. I spent time in juvenile detention when I was 13 for assaulting the school principal.

 

@jcgoble3 I'm going to guess #3 ! Please edit the answer into your post above because I'm going to lock this thread now.
