Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

I actually met Gordon Lightfoot a few times. I'll assume that's true.

I don't know who Melanie is?

Classical sounds likely. So #2.

Melanie is the one who did "I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key."

And: "Lay on Down--Candles in the Wind."

I made a gaffe---sorry! All this is true!

I know that roller skate song
Glad you enjoyed all three shows (and more).

I'm so lazy today I'm content to keep playing. So:

1. I used to babysit my doctor.
2. My father is a national hero, commemorated on a memorial.
3. My psychologist is a holocaust survivor.

1. I've seen Robbie Williams Live
2. I've seen The Spice Girls Live
3. I've seen Daphne & Celeste Live ( Ohh Stick You, your Mama too And your Daddy )

#1 for Isabella

#1 for Ferris

You're right. #1 is a lie. I didn't babysit my doctor, although I've known her since she was about five years old. I was also her camp counsellor when I was a teenager and she was about ten years old. Her father was originally my doctor, so I know her family well.

#2 and #3 are true.
I'm so grateful for my psychologist. He's a trauma expert and he's from NYC so he shares lots of stories about Manhattan for me. I dread the day he retires.

Ferris: I guess I'll go with #1 even though I don't know who Robbie Williams is. I know Robin Williams?

I'm thinking either your father is a Czech poet who became President of the Czech Republic after its separation from Slovakia

Or a Polish union leader who became President, after the demise of the Communists there.

Try again Kraftie , I've seen Robbie Williams Live

I suppose you're thinking eastern Europe, because my trauma psychologist is a holocaust survivor who escaped to NYC for several decades while earning a PhD. Hmmm.

Anyway, give me three more.

#2 for Ferris?


1. My bowling team came in 3rd place for the year, despite my only having a 74 average.

2. I grew from 4 foot 9 to 5 foot 1 when I was 13.

3. I started my present job at age 19.

I'm doing the math on #3 based on Elton John and the fact you started your job in 1980. ... (pause) ...
Yes, #3 is correct.

I also recall you weren't unusually tall as a child, so #2 sounds plausible.

Let's go with 1.

Nope. #1 is true, unfortunately.

So it must be #2.

I'm afraid of doorbells.
I'm afraid of women.
I'm afraid of water.

I grew from 4 foot 11 1/2 to 5 foot 2 when I was 14.

The "lie," for Isabella, is: "Afraid of water."

nope

Oh wait... i did it again. I'm afraid of all three. Sorry that I keep messing up.
I'm afraid of water in several specific circumstances (e.g., I won't get "just" my hands wet, and many others).

I'll try again.

I'm afraid of women.
I'm afraid of ducks.
I'm afraid of going outside.
