Ok...ok but just for fun. This is a very simple game. You post 3 crazy (or not so crazy) things about yourself and the next poster has to figure out which one is the lie. ;) I'll start:

1. I chased a thief once.

2. Went to a strict Catholic Elementary School.

3. I compete in swimming professionally as a hobby.

You have never even set foot in a Catholic Elementary School, Suzie!

1. I own a microwave forge.

2. I was visited by aliens in college (and I don't mean illegal aliens).

3. I accidentally fell almost 200 feet off a cliff and walked away without a scratch.

I did. I went to a private Catholic Elementary school, and yes I drove the nuns crazy. lol Fun times. The lie was number 3, I don't know how to swim!

I am really tempted to say number 2 but I am sure you are up to something sooo I will say it's number 1.

D'oh. Professional swimmer sounded perfectly reasonable.

1. I own a microwave forge. True, sort of. Microwave foundry would be more precise, and I haven't quite gotten the silicon carbide amount correct to, you know, melt any metal. But it's there, so I do own it.

2. True. They were perfectly legal aliens, stopping at BYU to visit friends and attend the temple.

3. 200 feet? Off a cliff? And survive without a scratch? Don't be absurd! That was my brother, not me. 35 years later, my son decided to give it a try, but he broke his femur -- which, as you know, is

1. I have seen the Queen of England two times in my life.

2. Use to hop trains and ride them a mile down the tracks to a place called Hobo Jungle

3. I use to sell drugs

Hmmm...the lie is number 1. :mellow:

#1 is the lie

1. I studied history at San Diego State.

2. I had dinner with Bob Hope once.

3. I have done an arrested landing and a catapult launch off of a Navy carrier.

A good guess Pam, and arguably correct. I was raised in the church, but I have always considered myself a convert at the age of 17.

The "lie" is that I can lift (over) twice my bodyweight... I have only ever matched twice my bodyweight but I have yet to surpass it.

I presume you mean bench? Good grief!

How much do you weigh (if you don't mind me asking)?

I put up 280 the other day (I'm around 180). I thought that was pretty good. 360 is a long ways off though.

You flatter me Church. My best bench press was 225 at 150 lbs. I can deadlift 300 lbs pounds for reps, but haven't ventured past the 300 pound mark. My estimated one repetition max is around 350 pounds based on calculations, I just haven't ever lifted over 300 yet. My goal is to be lifting 400 at 160 this year. Sadly my lifting really isn't that impressive at this time, but I enjoy doing it... and have impeccable form;) In my defense I do all my lifting raw so there are no lifting straps or belts to artificially enhance my strength.

Benching 280 lbs at 180 lbs is quite impressive

In fact I became curious about averages on account of this post and found the following article intersting:

Can You Lift as Much as the Average Man? - Yahoo Voices - voices.yahoo.com

If the average man weighs 165 I have hope of weighing as much as the average man even though I'm a shorty. (5'6") I now know that although my strength feats aren't impressive in the strength community I am well above average... assuming a yahoo article is credible, which is as much a stretch as many a theory put forth in these forums

1. I ate crickets that my Seminary teacher cooked for a New Testament lesson.

2. I have been a hairdresser for one of The Lovely Lennon Sisters (made famous on Lawrence Welk).

3. I once lost 35 pounds in about 4 days, and lived!

It seems to me that #1 is by far the biggest stretch:D Doesn't everyone play on navy carriers as part of Junior High Phys Ed these days? My guess is you had dinner with Bob Hope, but not THE Bob Hope, just a name doppleganger.

I bet it's #3...

You quite possibly did a stint as a prison chaplin in Japan;)

Actually--that was the lie. I spent nearly 7 years in Korea, 4 months in Hong Kong, and 3 months in the Philippines--only 3 days in Japan, and no jail time.
