I'm going to guess Kathryn didn't escape the sight of a bunch of dead animals.
I'm guessing Simon didn't celebrate the cricket in the pub.

When I was an undergraduate

- I had a birthday party that was black plastic themed. The entire floor of my halls made elaborate costumes out of bin liners including a sith lord costume, a maid costume, a skater boy constume all in bin liners and baked me a huge vodka soaked paisley chocolate cake.

- I had a birthday treasure hunt across Bangor. The people I lived with made me a bunny outfit and hid it in strategic locations in pieces across the city with a series of clues for me to find my bunny bow tie, bunny tail, and bunny ears, when at the end of my treasure hunt resplendant in silver grey fur I found my birthday gift to be a bronze coloured shubunkin called glodwyn.

- I had a seventies themed birthday party where we dressed very retro in flares and big wigs, got horribly drunk and was presented with a blow up doll that had colin greenwood from radioheads face stuck to it. The finale of that evening involved me climbing onto some stage in a club and doing the time warp in a professors wig.

no bday celebration for simon
no 70s themed party for tre (tho that sounds like tons of fun)

plenty of dead animals and a live rabbit for me (the deer was 3 feet from me before i spotted it. i almost ran into it, literally. it was beautiful and big and recently dead, its huge eyes were open)


spot the lie!

• a friend is in the middle of divorcing her husband after she discovered his long-term affair with a professional stripper
• a friend in the middle divorcing husband number 4 is now dating ex-husband number 3
•  a friend is divorcing husband number 2 because he gambled away most of their savings

You're all wrong, I watched the end of the cricket and partied, then I celebrated birthdays with a party. No watching of football in the pub, its all a little uncouth for my tastes.
I think that the 70's party and the treasure hunt are quite specific in their detail, so the black plastic party is the lie.
I reckon K's gambling one is a lie.

Items on my desk at work:
A miniature cat like the one on the front of SMYT
A spoon-faced little man from South Africa
A Ghanaian pen holder


How's that for a slice of fried gold?

No birthday treasure hunt for Tre. That was easy, she used words that don't even exist to describe it.
K, I think the 2nd one is the lie.

This weekend I had:
- baekeofe
- tajine
- pozole

the cats a lie...
I have no idea Denis.. lets say.. pozole..?

The seventies party is a lie, it did happen on my 18th birthday but not as an undergrad, and I didn't really get horribly drunk. Sadly did the time warp. Sadly had a blow up doll to carry around as well. It was a top half only blow up doll with a hole in the hand. I think it was a beer holder....

Woo hoo! I was right. No 70s-themed party for tre, sadly.

Also sad, no SMYT cat for Simon.

Also sad, Denis is wrong: my second statement is true (my friend is dating her ex-husband).

But no one I know is divorcing over gambling, tho my friend's hubby (who is a dear friend of mine) is now living with his stripper mistress.

No baekeofe for Denis.

Today I am having a

pedicure
manicure
massage

Cheeseman doesn't have the pen holder. Denis didn't have baekeofe. Kathryn isn't having a massage. And Tre had MUCH more exciting birthdays than I ever did.

Oh, I guess I should come up with one of my own, right?

Websites I've looked at so far today:

www.owliecomics.com
www.nuklearpower.com



I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied.

Right, I didn't have baekeofe. I don't even remember what's in a baekeofe. I had tajine on Saturday and pozole on Sunday, both home made and both excellent, esp. the pozole which was stellar.

No spoon-faced man for Simon; no manicure for K; and Nathan hasn't checked nuklearpower.com yet.

I haven't got a spoon-faced man: somehow he's managed to migrate to my colleagues desk while having no animate powers of his own.
I have one kitty, but not the required pair. That is sad.

Denis, my nails look fabulous, toes and fingers.

No nukes for VV.


Which of these three is untrue?

The ingredients in Worcestershire Sauce are stirred together and allowed to sit for two years before being bottled.

It's impossible to lick your own elbow.

Most dust particles in your house are made from dead human skin.

the worcestershire sauce one is a filthy lie

vovat lies about the nuklear whatsit link

I have

- been swimming in the menai straights in north wales in the middle of october leaving my belongings within the tideline and only noticing this when they floated past me

- spent the night sat on a rocky outcrop watching a storm over the sea and not noticing the time or the rain that splattered around which was quite heavy because I stayed dry thanks to the way the rocks curved over

- had a picnic of cheese and poppy crackers and chilli flavoured squeezy cheese and cloudy lemonade on the stone circle where the slaying of aslan for lion the witch and the wardrobe was filmed surrounded by shetland ponies and their shetland pony babies

The human skin thing is a lie. The swimming in Wales too. And you left your Fiery Furnaces CD at home.

I have
- 22 nephews
- a package waiting for me at the post office
- to pee

Denis, Kathryn, and Tre are right. That site hosts the 8-Bit Theater comic, which is only updated on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Hence, no need to check it on a Monday.

The worcestershine sauce thing is a lie. Tre didn't spend the night on a rocky outcrop. Cheeseman doesn't have the NMH CD on his desk. Denis doesn't have to pee. Even if he did when he made the post, he probably doesn't now.

Wait, how did nudity get into this?

For my own contribution, which one of these is not an actual character from one of the forty main Oz books?

Kuma Party
Tommy Kwikstep
Ludmilla Cake

Worcestershire dear, it's sort of my home county (as in I used to live there and still have ties)

Shetland baby ponies is true! It was bloody cold!
Swimming is true! It was bloody cold!
And thats not because of any nudity, because there was none!

I did watch the storms on the rocks but never all night and there was never any shelter so if it rained I got soaked, and therefore wouldn't stay all night, because it was bloody cold!

Kuma Party ain't no Oz character.

Here's mine:

I played badminton for Scotland at junior level
My lowest golf score is 74 for 18 holes
I'm an ordained church minister

Yeah, Kuma Party looks weird. Or did they publish a porn version of Oz?
74 seems very impressive, so I think that's the lie. Or was it minigolf?

you're no minister

I'll take Ludmilla Cake

hmm ok so at junior school

- We had a mock elections and the headmaster made me be the conservative candidate. Less than happy with this I went to speak to him about it and he told me he would be writing the manifesto for each of the parties. The labour candidate would increase homework, increase the amount of greens on the school dinner menu and decrease break times. All things kids shouldn't like. I, however, would promise the opposite. He said he wanted to see if the kids were going to vote for promises or parties. I got two votes.

- every christmas we held a high tea for the old folks of the community. We'd all dress like waiters and bring them cups of tea and cake and corned beef sandwiches and every year there was an entertainment put on for them. One year the entertainment was me, on stage in a lemon coloured ball gown singing abba songs for them with my guitar teacher playing piano.

- as a diversely multicultural school we had a great many of celebrations relating to a number of religions. For Diwali one year we went to the symphony hall and put on a candle dance that the girls had been learning for weeks instead of doing p.e. with little candle boats we had made and decorated ourselves(mine was blue and gold). The school bought gold sari's for us all to wear when we went.

No mock elections for tre.
No ordained minister-ship for Steve.

Last night

I got 2 hours of sleep
I had a dream that LlamaSteve was in Cyprus with me and my grandmother cooking eggplant
I watched both Taxi Driver and The Deer Hunter

You all fell into my trap. The badminton one isn't true (although I did play scotland players). I'm an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church (www.ulc.net) - available for weddings, naming ceremonies and funerals. (well, maybe not funerals)

kathryn, the eggplant one can't be true, it's an aubergine ;)
Tre - although the lemon dress/abba one sounds like a nightmare dream, I'm going for the candle dance. Schools can't afford sari's.

K, you had 1 hour of sleep. At least that's what you said in the other thread.
Tre, there's something fishy in your mock elections story.

Yeah, two hours is a lie! Ho you tripped yourself up there young lady!

Mock elections is true (two fucking votes! there's actually video footage of me doing it as well), yellow ballgown also painfully true.

Didn't do a dance in the symphony hall, we sang a song in the gold sari's donated to us by the parent of one of the kids who owned a sari shop. The candle dance was for eid and we did that at school in multicoloured wraps and the boys did bahngra (sp?) dancing. T'were ace.

I like this game, here's another.

1. We have a lemon tree, lime tree and chilli plant on our kitchen window sill.
2. Our gardener comes once a month (except in winter) to trim the beech and privet hedge around our garden.
3. We don't have mains gas, so have an external tank in the garden which gets filled up occasionally.

Kuma Party is an Oz character, and there's nothing pornographic about him. Ludmilla Cake is actually a Discworld character. So Tre was right.

Carl, you didn't knock anyone over!

OK More potential untruths...

I have photographs on my photoboard depicting....

- as a child my obsession with zombies was enough for me to insist on dressing as one for the holiday halloween fancy dress competition at Pontins. I went as a zombie with 'blood' splattered gown and greeny blue facepaint, my brother michael went as a mummy wrapped up in bandages dad got from work and my brother daniel went as a ghostbuster, resplendant with a pack made out of a spraypainted and gutted vacuum cleaner. We all won a competition and got shiny pontins winner badges.

- I broke my left wrist when a mean girl pushed me over a skipping rope at school. The school didn't believe there was anything wrong so it was some hours before I got taken to hospital. The regular plaster technician, one Willie Brown, who had known me when I was a baby because he worked with my dad, lifted me up and took me to the plaster room. He let the trainee do the plaster which was so bad my dad took me that weekend to his hospital, cut it off and replaced it himself.

- For my 11th Birthday we went to drayton manor themepark. After spending most of the morning wandering around and going on the log flume and the pirate ship I spied this ride called the corkscrew which was all upside down and twisty. I wanted to go on it but no one would come on it with me, my mother said she had to stay with the boys, my father said he would have a heart attack if he went on that (scared of heights, couldn't even cope with the pirate ship), so I went on my own. So enthralled with the upside down action I went on the ride a further five times that afternoon much to the amusement of my parents and the jealousy of my younger and too short brothers.


[edit] I need to start keeping my potential lies shorter!
