Truths and sweet little lies

[julep]

Tell three truths and one lie about yourself.  If you want, identify the lie in a spoiler.  Or let people guess.  

1. I'm a middle child.  
2. I've traveled to five countries besides the US, where I live.  
3.  When I was a kid, one of my baby-sitters was a bank robber.    
4.  I hate mayonnaise.

You love mayonnaise

1. I've visited/lived on three continents.
2. I've broken a wrist falling off a horse that got spooked by an elephant.
3. I translate crappy romance/erotica books for a living.
4. I've only been with one man that was older than me.

[no one]

I'll go with number 1. 3 seems a little to far fetched.

1) I have several tattoos.
2) US Marine
3) I'm 6'1
4) I was the executive chef at a resort for 5 years.

[brewerb]

1. I'm old
2. I'm cranky
3. I'm tired
4. Jesus loves me.

Wrong!  I truly hate mayonnaise.

I am an eldest child.

Imma guess #4 on yours.

[Szuchow]

1. I was member of knights brotherhood.
2. I was a top student.
3. I - allegedly - came from long line of nobility.
4. I'm quite the ladies man.

I think it’s #1.

It's 4 actually. I was member of knights brotherhood. Not for long admitedely.

1. I'm old
2. I'm cranky
3. I'm tired
4. Jesus loves me.

You're actually a cranky, tired twenty-something living in your parents basement .. and Jesus loves you more than you do him.

1. I hate mayonaise
2. I hate roses
3. I hate Trump
4. I hate thinking up stuff I hate.

4. I'm quite the ladies man.

I think it’s #1.

It's 4 actually. I was member of knights brotherhood. Not for long admitedely.

I wonder if any of us hanging out online would describe ourselves as a "ladies man", though sometimes I play one in my imagination.

[Marozz]

1. I have a bachelor’s degree in fine arts. 
2. I am fluent in Dutch
3. I worked as a cleaner in a brothel
4. I am teetotal

Not a big fan of mayonnaise either (though there is a factory in my hometown that makes some nice, milk-based, ones with interesting flavours). Though I rather like Russian salad, or Olivier salad, or whatever it is called in English.



Nope, 4 is the god's honest truth. And it's not like I have a thing for younger men either. It's just... like I said the other day, I'm shaping up as a rather good cougar... especially for someone on the asexuality spectrum  

1. I was member of knights brotherhood.
2. I was a top student.
3. I -  allegedly -  came from long line of nobility.
4. I'm quite the ladies man.

Am gonna call lie on 4. For no other reason than it sounds like self-irony, not because it's impossible.

You could at least try

[julep]

1. I'm old
2. I'm cranky
3. I'm tired
4. Jesus loves me.

Actually ..

#2  I like roses fine, especially climbers, shrubs and ramblers.  In general I don't like hybrid teas in a landscape but I make a couple exceptions.  For example, this one - Hot Cocoa, especially since it plays so well with the 'Guardian' phormium behind it.

[Vera]

Oh, and I got a concussion and about half an hour of amnesia falling off a horse that got spooked by an elephant. Always smother the lie in a sauce of truths.

I think #3 is a lie and you're really just 5'11".

[julep]

1. I'm old
2. I'm cranky
3. I'm tired
4. Jesus loves me.

I hope it's #4, because I would hate to think that Jesus was cheating on me.

I wouldn't have guessed that because in my experience with this game, the more outlandish the more likely it is to be true.

[brewerb]

1. I'm old
2. I'm cranky
3. I'm tired
4. Jesus loves me.

We've talked about you. What he said was unsettling.

[c172]

1. I have cerebral palsy
2. I am not a Democrat
3. I do not drive a car
4. I cannot see getting married or having kids.

The rat bastard! He said he'd die for me...

Let's see: I know #1 is true; number three is nice and sensible.  

So I think the lie is #2 or #4.  You could be an independent rather than in one of the parties.  I'm going to bet the lie is #4 (and I hope you do both of those things if you want to and meet the right person.  Kids are a pain in the neck but they are also an interesting variation to throw into your existence.)  

Probably wrong...I think I have been wrong about every lie so far in this thread except for Marozz's.

I hear he says that to everyone.

My thought exactly.  But so I'm going with #2.

[Joods]

1. I've met Ned Beatty who played Otis in the 1978 version of Superman.
2. I've met John Gotti in Baltimore.
3. I've met Ted Nugent in Michigan.
4. I've met Brett Michaels in Pennsylvania.
