Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

2 is a lie.

Though I exercise a lot, my allergies asthma me lead me to use the 3rd.
More of a prevention this year.
Last summer 4 times.

My comedy was literally a gag, aka laryngeal spasms gag coughing.
Now I gag when I accidentally swallow pool water.

1. I talked briefly with Sean Penn while I was sitting on a stoop in the Village.

2. I sat next to Jerry Seinfeld while seeing a Broadway play. His face was shiny from him wearing makeup.

3. Tony Randall admonished myself and some other high school kids for gambling. We were pitching quarters on a stoop on the Upper West Side.

#1 is the lie? #3 sounds so odd, it has to be true

You got me there. #1 is the lie.

While this never happened, it really could have. Many famous people, I’m sure, often pass that particular stoop.

Actually, anything beyond a cup makes me pretty jittery and is instead draining more than anything (basically, I begin to exhibit the same symptoms as in hypoglycemia), so I rarely drink it.
So the answer was 3, as it was a (rather large) drink I knocked over.
I tend to be wary, because I've missed things due to getting a bit overconfident.

1. When i was a kid, my mother and I attended a gardening expo. A high-profile German politician was also there trying to get through incognito. I recognized her, went to her, and told her that all politicians are bad people. I was 5

2. A few years ago, i was really obsessed with a certain band and a former bandmate gave me a meet & great-pass for an upcoming show of theirs. As i was ready to kneel down in front of the band members in order to prepare for the photo, i realized that my pants were slowly falling apart.

3. When i was 12, i met an internationally known German actor. As he got ready to shake my hand and thank me for coming (this was the premiere of one of his movies), i took his hand, shook it, and told him that his nasal delivery during movies might come from a sinus related issue. He didn't say anything back and just quietly watched me leave.

I would say #1. If not, you were some sort of genius kid...


1. I thought the Gerber Baby symbolized death.

2. I had difficulty looking at the Moon until my teens because of some vague fear.

3. I didn’t want to go to the Moon around the time of Apollo 11.

For bonus points: I knew what a politician was when I was 5 years old....yes or no?

Kortie:
I hope #1 is a lie, or at best you haven't been threatened by mashed peas / strained carrots yet today.

Robot:
I think #2, because 1 and 3 are priceless. That's the type of kid I was.

YES, because you were a precocious little bugger like the rest of us.

I was quite scared of the Gerber baby for some reason.

No bonus points for Isabella (despite all her adorable aspects). I couldn't say the word "politician" (nor any word until age 5 1/2) and I had no idea what a politician was. I believe I started knowing what a "President" was when I was 6.

That's OK (and cute). I had many bizarre fears as well including timepieces, trees, senior citizens, ice.
I'll say 3 instead.

Yep....absolutely right!

I REALLY wanted to go to the Moon with the astronauts. I was jealous of them.

I thought the night sky had tiny holes through which heaven could shine.
(Otherwise known as stars).


1. I had a lovely day in a quaint little town.
2. I was insulted by someone when I took my support dog into her shop.
3. I am working on a PC and have no idea how it functions.

I certainly hope #2 is a lie. You don't need that crap.

Yes, 2 is a lie. People are always delighted to see him.

3 is true. I'm working on a PC which is available for use where I'm lodging. It's pretty funny that I needed assistance just to find Google (I'm clueless without Apple products). It's very sunny so I need to withdraw from the world for a few hours and have some down-time.


As a child:

1. I liked to pitch tents and sleep outdoors in our garden with my muppets
2. I liked to sing and dance with my hair brush, pretending I was in ABBA
3. I loved any and all swim toys (beach balls, inflatable rafts, water wings), because of their smell
