Question:
You post three things about yourself. Two are true, one is not. The next person to post tries to guess which statement was untrue, and posts two truths and a lie of his/her own.
1) I have been within arms-length of Prince, and my hands could probably span his waist.
2) I've given 98 IVs as a medic and been in two boat fires as a firefighter.
3) I have an insane fear of people touching my stomach.

Answer:
Great thread
I'll guess number 2.
Mine...
1. My dad is a published author
2. I was almost blown overboard on a cruise ship
3. My guilty pleasure is watching Jerry Springer

Answer:
I guess 1!

1. I am a very skilled guitar player, piano player, and novice violin player.
2. The only thing I want in life is a good wife, a son, and a daughter.
3. I look down on most people at my work place because they are idiots.

3. My guilty pleasure is watching Jerry Springer Right you are! I got to see Prince at the Pepsi Center in Denver, and I got to head backstage on a technicality. He had the huuuuge stadium hair, and the guy is seriously tiny and thin.
I've done fewer than 30 IVs in my day, as I only got certified to perform them in November 2006. I am a volunteer firefighter/EMT-II in rural AK, so it's not like I get to go on multiple calls a day. Also, I have never been *IN* a boat fire. I've sat watch for a burned-out ship until the fire marshall could get out here to perform an arson investigation, but I've never been on call while a boat fire has occurred.
Hmmm... you're little, so I believe that you could have been blown overboard during that Alaska cruise. Your father is a man of the cloth, so he's probably had books published. I'm going to guess that Jerry Springer is the lie. I can't stand watching those shows, they make me horribly embarrassed.

I don't really know you well enough...so I'm going to guess #3 is the lie for you, Thrax.

I don't really know you well enough...so I'm going to guess #3 is the lie for you, Thrax. #1 for CJ. Yes, you are correct, #3 is the lie on mine.

Correct! I used to love watching Springer 'cause it was so messed up. I mean, who would be stupid enough to accept an invitation from a "loved one" to go on that show??? Now, I just can't stomach that crap anymore. Oh, my #1 option is kind of a half-truth. A book was just published that was written by a family friend, and my dad wrote a chapter for it. He's really excited about it, though .

Answer:
I've started at least 10,000 IV's in my time, and burnt two houses to the ground.
I've spent the night in jail with a Ninja sword murderer.
I've hybridized a diamond dusted, ruffled, near white daylily that sells for $150.00.

I bet that you have started at least 10K IVs because you are an MD, right? It's the burning houses to the ground that I wonder about on #1....
And number two just sounds too surreal...I bet it's true!
Number three... the daylilies sound gorgeous. I am willing to wager that #3 is the lie for Shycat.
Here are a few more for me...
1. I had a nervous breakdown in college.
2. My twin sister and I are trying to get dual citizenship in Italy.
3. I can speak American Sign Language fluently.

Answer:
This was a tough one, Shycat!
I know your parents own a day lily farm, but have YOU actually hybridized one..Hmm.
No, sorry, but I think that is a lie!
1. Me and my grandfather once appeared on Swedish Television at the very same day, but in two different programs.
2. I once deliberately let a person die, instead of calling a doctor.
3. I have a photo of Leonard Cohen, where he has written "To Eva, with love"
on the backside.

Answer:
You both right! No daylily breeding for me. My father does all that.
When I was young, our farm had an old, old, old house right behind our actual house. It was two rooms, and filled with an immense amount of equally old junk, immensely dusty and dirty. I played in there sometimes, and managed to set down a candle on drips of wax (playing old times--no electricity) which I promptly left for some cat or just gravity to knock over. The place caught fire, and also burned down the nearby dog house. Boy, was my father mad. On the other hand, my mother was kinda grateful because then it was removed from her backyard.
I once kicked the keys out of a man's hands as he tried to enter the passenger side of his car. It was a terrible scene, crazy, and me and his pregnant girlfriend had already yelled for someone to call 911. To this day, I'm sure he was going for a weapon.
But he never hit us, and I kicked him, and he pressed charges of assault.
The cops were sweet, and tried to let me sit by the station dispatcher but she said no. So, I spent the night in the holding cell with prostitutes mostly, and one girl who was on BIGTIME drugs and had dressed up like a Ninja with her boyfriend to rob her grandmother with swords. They stabbed her seven times. They eventually were distressed by the amount of "this is not a game" blood and called an ambulance. They left, without the money, before the ambulance arrived.
The poor old woman went to ICU and was able to tell the story. I don't really know if she died eventually or got well.
The prostitutes were also very nice. It was not too awfully far from the scene in Bridget Jones, especially since I had no appetite for my supper tray. I told them what I'd done, and they were my pals. YEAH! KICK THE SOB!!! They were all for it. One stripper was sad and crying because she was afraid her child would find out, and afraid her mother would yell at her and her child would hear.
All in all, the most educational single experience of my life.

Goodness, musse. As strange as it must be, I bet you don't have a photo of Leonard Cohan--I bet you wish you had one, though. #3 is a lie.
