[L107ANGEL]

yes two truths and then a lie. We guess which one is the lie.

 

[FSUMARCHIEF]

Okay. Here's my two truths and a lie...

1) I was the lead singer in a rock band.

2) I met O.J. Simpson - pre-murder and have a picture with him with the famous pair of gloves.

3) I have broken through a wall with my back.

Blessings!

[pumba]

me first.......I think you were in a rock band.......and I think that if the wall was made of particle board....hm you could go thru that........so I am guessing that you did not meet OJ ......with or without the gloves

When am I supposed to give the answer? After several folks have guessed?

Blessings!

[TwinkieMama]

Yes Mark. Five(ish) guesses then you spill the beans.

Hmm... I think you were in a rock band. And I think you met OJ... I don't know about the gloves.... now the wall thing... it could happen... or maybe it didn't????


I will go with #2 as the big fat lie!


Thanks for the song YAK! Lil' Twinkerbell does a great impression of Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when he quotes that song.

 

[Kay7979]

Hello. I pick # 3 as the lie. Just to be different. And because I think maybe you tried this, but in the contest between the wall and your back, the wall may have won.

For no particular reason, this came to mind tonight --- off to bed now

My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I always liked that song. Story songs are cool. They're way better than most of the songs today that repeat the same few lines of drivel over and over and over and over and . . . .

...it won't be the same here without you , nabbyg.

don't worry about the weather..there's always lots of fun things

[L107ANGEL]

I'm going with 2 as well.

 

[drebert]

#3 is a lie swooper-dude!

 

[UtahMama]

Okay. Here's my two truths and a lie...

1) I was the lead singer in a rock band.

2) I met O.J. Simpson - pre-murder and have a picture with him with the famous pair of gloves.

3) I have broken through a wall with my back.

Hmmmm, I'll say #2 , he was NOT wearing the glove. I'll play the technicality card.

My second choice would be #1. You were the drummer.

My 3rd choice would be #3- It was your fist or head or foot. Ouch.

I know you SO well, Mark!

Okay - I was going to let it drag out for a bit longer, but now I have to share...

#1 - I was indeed the lead singer of a rock band in High school. Our name was "Z-rocks" We were a cover band and practiced in the warehouse of our drummer's dad who owned a printing place. Since we were a cover band, and there were always Xerox boxes around, we named ourselves Z-Rocks. We were pretty good too!

#3 - I did indeed break through a wall with my back - at church no less. I was wrestling around with a firend in the church office, again in high school, and fell backwards. As I got up out of the wall, we realized we had done something very bad...

#2 - As UM said, is a lie - at least it's a half lie. I did indeed meet OJ Simpson and have a picture with him before the murder. I was in the band at FSU and we played Notre Dame my senior year in South Bend. He was calling hte game from the sidelines for NBC. I asked him for a picture and he told me he was about to go on the air. I figured that he was just blowing me off. He did come back a few minutes later and tell me he could take that picture now. However, in the picture you can not see the famous gloves.

So UTAHMAMA WINS on figuring out my technicality!

Blessings!

I missed Mark's game. I would have said #2 as well.

Just waiting to put one to bed and one to come home from a baseball clinic and go to bed. I have odds and ends to pack. Like shoes, and stuff that will go in the suitcase instead of the carry on.

I will be happy tomorrow when we tell them. Poor Nicholas didn't understand why he had to do extra work. He still has one math sheet to do. All he knows is that he was the only one to get this work. We made it this far with the secret I am not going to tell him now.

Twinkie are you finished packing yet?

I think it is going to be a late night....

 

[L107ANGEL]

NAB!!!! you must be soooo excited!!!!

I am Angel .

And it is so cold here I can't wait to get out of this deep freeze. The kids couldn't even go out for recess today because of the cold. That doesn't happen often.

I will be going though lists in my head tonight and probably won't sleep.
