I only have a 5% chance of nailing this, but I'm going to call 15 as a wild guess, and mostly because I want all the other ones to be true.
Nope, my mother and I wandered into a World Cup game in Pontiac because it was playing across the street from my Grandma's house, and there was no security. I didn't actually look at the game or anything.
And years later, in Korea.... mothers of my students used to buy me tickets to things at the same time they COINCIDENTALLY bought their children tickets to the same thing, so that I would babysit
Well, I'm not sure that's exactly a fair exchange, but it's yet another cool little thing to write about!
How have you managed to pack so much fascinating stuff into one life without turning eighty?
You move to a new country every year, you see some crap.
I really hope that #8 is a filthy lie...but that doesn't seem like one you'd come up with...but maybe...hopefully.
Unfortunately, no. A coworker tried to do something inappropriate during a work-night out, a group of us had a little intervention, and that night....
But since it was in Korea, and people don't talk about unpleasant things, the official story was that he suddenly, at 4am, decided to clean his windows and fell.
Just for the record, I didn't mean I wanted 8 to be true... I was forgetting that one when I typed that.
Don't lie. You are an awful person who hopes for the senseless deaths of Korean schoolteachers. Now we all know the truth.
and I thought I was hiding it well!
Guess it's time to burn my house down and leave town.
Again.
As much as I want to say number one, i'm gonna say 14.
#14 is true. My family had some AWESOME vacations.
I was thinkin you lied about it being in Colorado. I do not judge the merits of your vacations.
How about 17?
...any lies will be outright dirty, filthy lies. No tricks in wording.
17 is true... back when I helped run the Oakland County Parks puppet wagon.
One of the shows I did, everyone was totally bored, until one line in the script about raisin cakes, when one dude's interest was piqued. He spent the rest of the show screaming "RAISIN CAAAAAAAAAKES!!!" and others joined him.

Oh, and #1 is also true. I played Tiresias, and had Odysseus, his wife and one of the suitors as guests. I don't remember if Oedipus and his kin were in that episode too, or if that was meant to be episode 2. The episode featured an animated intro sequence featuring a flythrough of Hades made with 3d Game Creation Studio, which was essentially a Doom level editor.
I convinced the school district to pay for all the plastic swords and togas necessary, as we were supposed to get paid to have the show run on an educational network. But they refused to pay for the episode, because the suitor, Tyronicus, use incorrect grammar. ("Woman, I done toooooold you!")
Also because it sucked.
I'll guess #20...
also, the fact that 19 of these are true makes me wonder what kind of life you lead...
20 is true! My Uncle Jimmy used to live in Clinton Valley mental hospital, but you had to be 16 to go inside for visiting hours.
...I live an AWESOME life. If you haven't seen the others, there are 5 more of these games in my Journal archives.
oh, i saw them... but i decided to guess now... what about the hit and run one? that one actually sounds very true... and if i got into an awesome car accident, i would jmp out all giddy from the coolness of it (how it wouldve looked.)
#13 is true. Best part was when the cops showed up, and I was all "Yeah it was a red car, and-" the cop goes "Ugh. That's DAVE." Apparently that was a regular thing around there, and dave lived right around the corner. Afterward, talking to someone higher up at the station, they said they had NO IDEA who might have hit my car, and had no leads.
Turns out Dave was a cop's son or something.
10 would probably be not true, but no one ever knows with you haha
#10 sure is true.
Blood. EVERYWHERE.
I'll guess 12 for a dirty filthy lie.
#12 is true. When I was volunteering in Thailand, the man who ran one of the volunteer organizations I was working with had said some things that pissed off a lot of people. There was a vote to decide if he was allowed to stay. In the end, it was decided that either he had to leave, or his organization had to leave.
#4 is true. I drove like half a day to get there, expecting it to be all Indiana Jones in there. But there were no snakes, at least not on display. Just statues of snakes, which the people worshipped.
I'm going to pick 11 and 19...mostly for the stories because I'm pretty sure they're true :P
No fair cheating! You can only pick one. (because one of those is the correct answer)
oh shit! I'm so close...I have a 50/50 chance...uhhhh 19?
#19 is true.... on a previous list, I mentioned being there when Nicolas Cage put his hands in the cement at Mann's Chinese Theater. Well, clips from said event were in Nic Cage's Biography.
This is why I don't gamble.
I'd have to say 19 too, because 11 is totally believable for Ryan. If there are pictures of those murals, I'd certainly be interested in seeing some :)
(yeah, I could say 11 so I can be declared the winner, but it would sort of be cheating, and I totally suspect 19's false)
The winner was declared a while ago, old chum. Both explanations are contained in the comments.
...and this is why I shouldn't leave LJ pages un-reloaded for a very long time. Really, I'm surprised 11 was the lie. I figured you could even include graffiti in that statement, although Ryan doesn't seem like a vandal to me. Bathroom stalls, maybe.
I'm gonna say 19, because that's a bit toooo mundane to be on this list of awesome. Also, too believable.
#19 is true.... see above.
Consarnit!
Well, taking your advice and reading the above I'm going to deduce that 11 is the woven web of lies?
That's right, #11 is the lie. Only mural I ever painted, as far as I remember, was in Thailand. I don't even remember what it looked like, maybe I'll go back sometime and see if it's still there.
Hurrah! I win at everything forever!
did you meet any dirty-blonde tall lanky white guy named Luke Cormican at Spumco or Disney? He's one of my old roomies.. he was neato.
Nope, mostly hung out with Steve Worth at Spumco.
On #16, how did you get featured in such an art show? I know you'll lie about your age to get into mental hospitals, but I doubt you'd pose as a housewife. Perhaps the housewife stuff wasn't the only subject of the exhibition?
The Korean housewives made me. It's totally cool to have a foreigner in your exhibition, even if he doesn't fit the theme.
Back in animation school, he came to visit and give a talk. Hung out a bit, afterward, the head of the department took him out to dinner, and whenever that happened, I always tagged along.
No exciting stories, I'm afraid.
Oohhh man, how did the priest react to #3?
i want to hear about 5 (: and six, hahaha |
