Suzie Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 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. Quote
Vort Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 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. Quote
Suzie Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 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. Quote
Suzie Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 The next poster can write three things so I don't write again. lol Quote
Palerider Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 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 Jungle3. I use to sell drugs Quote

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 . Quote
Suzie Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 I was going to say number 3 but I thought it was a trick. lol Quote

Palerider Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 Hmmm...the lie is number 1. No...it's actually true Quote
Suzie Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 No...it's actually trueShow off. Which one is the lie? :) Quote
Palerider Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 Show off. Which one is the lie? :)The last one Quote
Suzie Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 The last oneI thought you would say number 3 is true because you are a pharmacist or something like that. Quote
Palerider Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 I thought you would say number 3 is true because you are a pharmacist or something like that. No...not a pharmacist.....I had to make something up.....Lol!!!! :D Quote

SpiritDragon Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 1. I'm a convert to the church2. I can lift over twice my body weight3. I ate dinner with Dieter F. Uchtdorf Quote
pam Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 #1 is the lie1. 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. Quote
SpiritDragon Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 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. Quote

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. Quote
SpiritDragon Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) 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 impressiveIn 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.comIf 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 Edited January 29, 2014 by SpiritDragon Quote
Guest Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 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! Quote
SpiritDragon Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 #1 is the lie1. 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.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. Quote
slamjet Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 1) I was jumped by 10 guys... and won.2) I crochet a blanket3) I drove from Torrance to Horton Plaza and back in 4 hours (no HOV). Quote
prisonchaplain Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 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. Quote
mirkwood Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 Slamjet #3 is the lie.1. I have killed and eaten rattlesnakes.2. I like to snow ski.3. I only sleep 4 hours at a time. Quote
