Two Truths and a Lie Game

[Big Johnny69]

Here we go:

#1 - Trained to become a professional classical musician.
#2 - Although I have no Aces, I own a claim to the ellusive stroke and distance birdie (i.e. 3 off the tee and finish with a birdie).
#3 - Owner of what may be the WORST intersectionals record in the area.

1) When we played, we never talked about our musical likes and dislikes, but you have a very calm demeanor about Nat.
2) Because you knew to call it elusive, I believe you have done #2.
3) And perhaps you don't do well under pressure, I know I don't, so it is possible you have a poor intersectional record, but I bet not the worst.

So I'll say #1 is the lie. I have a feeling I'm wrong, but I choose 1.

[The Saint]

I could see you playing 6 instruments, why not. And the $76,000 would explain all the club hoing you do, so from process of elimination I say #1 is the lie. Only because no one likes chicken liver.

Nope #3 was the lie.. however I have purchased 76000 clubs

[Big Johnny69]

You and me both buddy. So you really like chicken liver eh......

OK, I'll try...

1. I've won 3 Provincial curling championships
2. I've owned a Porsche 911 Carrera
3. I've gone skydiving

This is an easy one, I think. I'll pick #2 as the lie. Knowing you, if you did own a Porshe I don't think you'd stop talking about it. I know I wouldn't.

[little brit]

Don't know why but my intuition is the 911 Carrera

[Nat Williams]

Geoff,

#1 is true. Used to play the trumpet in an inprovisational Jazz band & a concert band, and used t odo the rememberance day ceremonies. Also played classical guitar. Had a change of heart in OAC, and decided to persue computer programming.

#2 false. Thought this one might trick people. My best hole out was from 100 yards, and it was a fluke...I was in one of my 1st 10 games. Hit a nice tee shot to about 105 yards out, duffed it 5 yards, then jarred it for birdie lol. I have not holed out from more than 30 yards away since then (10 years ago!)

#3 true. I'm 2 for 12, and currently seeking an endorsement deal (i.e. pay me to join a club that you are competing against)

Interesting Nat, but I could see you being a musician. Don't know why, but I associate calmness with classical music, and like I said you have a very calm personality. What an about face though, from music to computer programming.

For my 18th Birthday my Dad gave me a White 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera - but that was many moons and many cars ago

[Hank Hill]

Was actually just taking a stab in the dark. All were good choices and made it difficult to pick. I just got lucky, but real lucky guessing you were only hit twice. Hope no chronic injuries came out of those accidents.

Bizzarly enough, not a scratch either time. One was very minor, but when I was hit while riding my bicycle I was catapulted up into the air and landed on my back with the bike on top of me (damn toeclips), but didn't suffer any ill effects.

And you did what with it you lucky SOB?!?!?!?!?

OK, I'll say the curling titles is the lie then.

Well I guess if any positive had to come of it, that would be it, no long term injuries. Good to hear.

I drove it for a couple of summers and then traded back to my Dad for a Toyota Forerunner - I has just gotten married so I didn't need the "Chick Magnet" factor anymore

......and I did win 3 Provincial Jr. Men's curling championships back in the day

For the record, the only way that you're getting me to jump out of a plane is if I'm already dead

You didn't say Junior....

But I'm with you, why jump out of a perfectly good plane. I don't get it....

Okay, here is my 3:
1) Survived a live bombing run by Mig 21 jets.
2) Was approached to try out for junior professional soccer team.
3) Have visited 11 countries around the world so far.

1) I believe this, the MiGs were NOT know for their accuracy but rather for the ease in which a pilot could fly them.
2) I'm not sure what a Junior Professional soccer team is so I'll say this is the Lie!
3) There are lots and lots of countries in the world and if #1 was indeed correct it would stand to reason that you would have visited a number of countries when in the forces...

[Kilroy]

You are a millitary man. So #2 is the lie. I bet the jets were loud. Waz ya scared?

["Richard"]

Here's a fun little game to play. Basically, you say two truths about yourself and a lie.
The person below you guesses which is the lie, and then does the same.

I'll start!

1. I only have Siamese cats as pets and name them all Tammy
2. I first met my hubby (Dan) as he heroically chased a purse snatcher
3. I am related to a Canadian Olympic medalist

Carol, dan told me paid the guy to steal your purse and told hm not to run to fast so he could keep up in the chase

[Hank Hill]

Carol, dan told me paid the guy to steal your purse and told hm not to run to fast so he could keep up in the chase

Hmm that sounds like a lie, but where are your two true statements????

[Agent99]

Carol, dan told me paid the guy to steal your purse and told hm not to run to fast so he could keep up in the chase

Wow, Richard, I like your version better than the real one. I think I’ll use it! It wasn’t my purse. I was just one of the people in the small crowd that formed when the chase ended. It was a year later when we were officially introduced to one another at a mutual friend’s party and months after that when we finally figured out we had seen each other before - on that day our paths crossed for the very first time.

[rezadue]

I am not a military man. And yeah the MIGs were damned loud. They broke the sound barrier shortly after the bombing run. This was at the beginning of the Iran Iraq war and I lived in Abadan Iran. Iraq thought they could quickly cripple Iran and take most of its territory so they bomed my city first since it had the second largest oil refinery in the world at the time.

It was quite a surreal feeling, watching them flip over and drop their payload. I would not wish in on anyone.

#2 is true as well. I used to play defense when I was younger and was quite good. During a game of shinny on a back street a scout watched part of our game and invited a friend and I to try out for the junior soccer team to one of the local professional soccer teams. That was a mere 24 years ago though! I probably would not be able to dribble my way past a 5 year old now...
The lie would be #3. So far I have been to the U.S., Cuba, Dominican, Mexico, France, Greece, Iran, Japan and Indonesia. So including Canada, it makes 0 countries.

You are a millitary man. So #2 is the lie. I bet the jets were loud. Waz ya scared?

[Eldred]

Some folks who know me personally going to think I'm full of it

1. I was on a 4 x 100 relay sprint team that beat another high school team which had Glenroy Gilbert and Ken Lablanc (two future Olympians).

2. My father came from the same hometown as Tiger Woods' mother.

3. I caused "Richard" to post 3 nasty pictures of himself on this forum.

[covanant]

Sure why not?
1 I am related to captain Blood
2 I played professional Paintball
3 I am missing a common body part

Well you said captain Hook first so I guess that is the lie.

[covanant]

No,number 1 is not the lie

[little brit]

Oh you were teasing with your first post were you?
Ok then I will say Paintball is they lie and will only just imagine what could be missing.

[ironmaster15213]

O.K. I'll give it a try........1) I'm 51 years old and have never smoked or had a drink.........2) I had a double eagle on the first hole of a competition..........3) I have hit over 2 million golf balls in practice since I started playing golf.

[Sakuraba]

I know you practice a lot, & I think I recall you not accepting my offer of a drink when we played, so I'm going with 2. (Not to say you couldn't do it, with all that practice!)

[ironmaster15213]

O.K. now the answers, 1) True, Nothing against smoking or drinking just never tried it.....2) true, Aug 22, 2004 one day before my birthday hit a 6 iron about 170 yards straight in the hole (didn't even touch the sides) on a 475 yard par five. Went 4 strokes up on opponite cause he bogied the hole.......3) False, I have only hit about 1.75 million golf balls in practice (O.K. it was kind of a sandbag question)

[Eldred]

O.K. now the answers, 1) True, Nothing against smoking or drinking just never tried it.....

Not even during the Penguins' lean years or the Steelers' Superbowl victory?
