Ignoring all of the posts not posting a list. LET'S DO THIS.

Canaltia wrote:It's been a bit since I posted on here, due to my life being really busy, so we're going to play a fun game of two truths and a lie (except it's three truths and a lie because a lot has happened recently)! Winner gets a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes. Right. Here we go!
1: I learned Pachelbel's Canon and got paid $400 for it
2: I slipped on ice and sprained my ankle
3: The store I worked at got robbed, and I was almost a prime suspect
4: I got accepted to do missionary work for 10 months next year

Edit: It's late and I don't want to give it away right away, so... Suspense!

My guess is 2, purely because it's the least outrageous of all of those choices.

Palos heights wrote:SAME. Just moved into a new apartment myself.

3 is the lie. No one does any robbing in Canada, you just say sorry and that's the end of it.

1. Yankee Candles are my financial kryptonite
2. I'm deathly allergic to bees
3. I have been set on fire before
4. I am the least accomplished of my siblings

My guess is 4, because you don't strike me as somebody who would want to brag about being more accomplished than a sibling.

Frieden-und Freudenland wrote:I am going for 2. (I think you are also wrong about 4, but never mind.)

=============

Well, OK, here is my stuff.

1. I once hid in a restroom stall for 40 minutes to avoid getting vaccinated.
2. I once jumped on a table to see Erdogan at a "casual rally" in a holiday resort.
3. I once came across Senator Elizabeth Warren during a morning walk in Boston, but didn't recognize her until my friend nudged me after she walked past us.
4. I never had any pets.

2, knowing your track record of disdain for Erdogan.... though that could have been awhile ago, before you were political or you may have liked him back then.

The Grene Knyght wrote:I know I'm not really active that often on this RMB so this is gonna be a bit hard, but here's my 3 truths and a lie anyway.
1) Legally, I have 3 grandfathers.
2) I used to work on a video game called "Fortnite," by a company called "Epic Games".
3) I finished my master's degree at 21.
4) I used to be a model for clothes and ads and such - major sportswear brands, banana-flavoured milk, catwalks, basically everything.

2. It seems a bit too 'oh hey, I was once involved with a famous thing'.

Prasna wrote:Three truths and one lie:
1)I didn't graduate elementary school yet.
2)I joined NS in June 4th.
3)I speak English as my native language.
4)I'm a Social Democrat.

Hopefully 1....

Sacara wrote:Three truths and a lie:

1. I'm going to major in political science and afterward get my law degree.
2. I'm politically affiliated with the Republican Party.
3. I've been dating my boyfriend for over six months.
4. I prefer warm weather rather than cold weather.

3 seems like a trick one, knowing that you are generally right wing....

so I'm going to plump for 4.

2. i flunked all four years of phys ed in high school.
3. i aced my s.a.t.'s to enter university after i got out of the air force.
4. i live in a small cabin in the sierras near the town of comptonville, with two ferrets, a red panda and a bobcat.

(yes, only one of these is a lie)

2. I'd question how you'd get into the armed forces having failed physical education...?

(4 is weird though so I'd mark that one as well if I could... it's just so weirdly specific that I'm compelled to think it might be true).

Turbeaux wrote:The listed value was hyperinflated by some very expensive buys back in April.

Here are my three truths and a lie:

1) I almost got flunked out of a middle school computing class for programming and distributing a harmless Trojan.
2) I have tetrachromatic vision.
3) I have misophonia.
4) I have modeled nude for several different artistic
photography and video projects.

I had to look up those conditions and now confidently say that 2 is the lie. You can't have the same amount of cones in your eye as a bird. No way.

Caracasus wrote:Alright then, here goes. Again, the trick of the game is to not exagurate but present stuff in a certain light or without certain important info so they sound far more interesting than they are.

1) I've had coffee with the drummer from The Clash.

2) I once nearly set fire to a neighbour's tree with a home made rocket launcher.

3) I was the only kid stupid enough to graffiti their whole name on the school wall.

4) Out of all the kids on the street I grew up in, I'm one of the few that didn't die of an overdose, get groomed for underage prostitution or wind up in prison.

2. I bet you actually did set fire to that tree with the rocket launcher :D

1. I write fugues.
2. I am a monarchist.
3. I am a goose I admire modern Norway.
4. I design board games.

1? Somehow it feels very out of place.

Candlewhisper Archive wrote:3 truths and 1 lie.

1) I once stabbed a patient in the wrist over eighteen times in one day, to no medical benefit.
2) Intestines are delicious to me, I love how chewy they are.
3) My children's favourite fluffy toy is named "Rectum", because it has a hole in its butt you can push things into.
4) If I see a stranger having a cardiac arrest on a train, I almost certainly wouldn't give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, even thought I know how, and even if it might save their life.

Right I'm going to say 3, purely because it's the only one that doesn't imply manslaughter in some way and CWA the Medical Psychopath is an amusing head cannon. :D

Anyway, here's mine.

1. I'm a member of the Green Party.
2. I once told the Archbishop of York to get out of the way.
3. There's a book on philosophical ethics that credits one of its ideas to me in a footnote.
4. I shook hands with Princess Diana.

Tough one! My guess is 4, because she's been dead for over 20 years and demographically that would put you significantly over the average here? But tough one.
