Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

2 ? My goodness you have a sharp memory for your timeline!

1. I went through an Emo phase
2. I have a piercing
3. Im extroverted

3?

Correct. Never lived in Flushing, though both Simon and Garfunkel grew up there, within a few blocks of each other. The area is near, but not quite, Kew Gardens Hills.

They lived in semi-detached houses, not apartment buildings.

Waterview Street is in Bayswater, which is part of Far Rockaway. I lived there from late 1976 to mid 1978. Then my mother left her boyfriend.

As for ilikemusic: #3.

...I have no idea what else to come up with.

Think about your childhood.

Yes. Im very introverted.

1. We didn't even have "emos" in the 1970s, though there were people who dressed the part.

2. We didn't even have "Goths" in the 1970s, though there were people who dressed the part.

3. We didn't even have "punks" in the 1970s, though there were people who dressed the part.

Which one is the lie?

Surely 1.

If there were "emos" in the 1970s, I didn't hear about them. There were "exis" (i.e., existentialists) in the 50's who sort of dressed like "emos" or "Goths" in some respect.

The correct answer is #3. There were people called "punks" in the 1970s. Both in the old meaning (a cowardly as*hole) and in the more recent one (an admirer of punk rock).

Oh snap!
I made a mistake. I didn't catch the negatives in your statements. Of course it would be: 3 as false, 1 as true. 2 as true (Alice Cooper, anyone?) Those double negatives get me every time. Or wait... that also makes 2 false. I'm so confused by negatives or double negatives especially in a true / false situation.

1. I once had a crush on a train-conductor lady who weighed about 250 lbs

2. I had a crush on a couple of my teachers in junior high and high school

3. I could not stand Orange Crush as a kid.

#2 ?

I still like Orange crush

Nope, the answer is #3. I craved Orange Crush when I used to go to summer camp, and all we had most of the time was "bug juice."

1. My favorite food in camp was buttered noodles.

2. I actually didn't mind "bug juice."

3. I just LOVED Salisbury steak.

2 sounds quite unpleasant.
