Two Truths and a Lie

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Comment Diversions | Comments (183)



2207094409_38daec5ed3.jpg

I’m not sure exactly how this is going to work as a comment diversion, but I dig the idea in theory, though I suspect it’ll all turn into a huge clusterfuck. But, it’s a clusterfuck I’m excited about reading. Jerce suggested a game of two truths and a lie. You know how it works: Someone make three statements about yourself, two of which are true and one that is a lie, and the others are to guess which is the lie.

There’s no way this works beyond five or six comments, but let’s give it a shot all the same. And let’s start with Jerce’s three statements:

1) I once followed an abusive lover to Tasmania and got a job working for lawyers there.

2) My baby brother wants gender-reassignment surgery for his birthday.

3) My first husband left me for a priest.

So, somebody take a guess and then offer your own three statements. Let’s see if this works.

Comments

I'm sorta thinking it's #3 because what man in his right mind would leave Jerce?

1. I sang on Oprah

2. I have had my ass pinched by Strom Thurmond

3. I was a ball girl for the Cinci Reds in high school

Posted by: funtime42 at May 11, 2009 9:08 PM

Jerce's second one sounds far fetched, funtime's is probably #3.

As for me:

1) I've never seen The Princess Bride.

2) I got a ticket for freaking jaywalking.

3) My uncle was an extra in The Dark Knight.

Posted by: George at May 11, 2009 9:12 PM

I'm waffling between 2 and 3 but I'm gonna go with… 3.

1. I've been mistaken for a native in every European country I've visited.

2. I nearly died from Chicken pox.

3. I'm watching Vicky Christina Barcelona at this very moment.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at May 11, 2009 9:12 PM

Number 1 is Jerce's lie.

Number 1 is Genny's lie.

I can't think of my own stuff fast enough, so I'm going to watch the rest.

Posted by: Cindy at May 11, 2009 9:18 PM

1.) I was in a bit on Jay Leno.

2.) I had to have my appendix removed on my 19th birthday.

3) I'm a virgin.

Lies:
Jerce #3
George #2
Genny #1
Funtime42 #2

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 9:25 PM

1. A pig walked out of the elevator at my work today. For the record, I work in a hospital...for humans.

2. When I was a wee one I got stitches right between the eyes and ripped them out.

3. I once ate my weight in Godfather's Pizza.

Posted by: Kiko at May 11, 2009 9:26 PM

Genny's lie is #3.
George's lie is #1.
funtime's lie is #1.
My three----

1. I ate eight Marlboro Reds to get a better grade in a college class.
2. I got drunk when I was 18 and had a make-out session with my dad's much younger girlfriend.
3. I slept on a urine-soaked seat during a cross-country train trip (the urine was not mine).

Guess away.

Posted by: Jim Doggie at May 11, 2009 9:29 PM

Aw, I love this game, which is bad for me because now I'm forced to play it.

Kayanne: 2
Kiko: 2

1. I have a strong sexual fetish for mutes. It's been there since I was a little girl, but only recently did I realize that the mushy twisty feeling was, you know, what it was.

2. I haven't had my natural hair color since I was 10, and since my roots are starting to grey, I guess I never will again. I've cried about this before and probably will again.

3. On a whim, I emailed a prominent strip club in Montreal asking if they had an opening for a dancer. They do. I'm strongly considerin applying.

Posted by: Ling at May 11, 2009 9:30 PM

Kayanne #1

1. My mother was a nun for over 15 years.

2. I've raised 3 boa constrictors.

3. I have an allergy to sunlight.

Posted by: Kate at May 11, 2009 9:30 PM

Jerce, I say #2. Funtime, #2. George, #1. Genny, #2. Kayanne, #3. Kiko, #3. Jim Doggie, #1. Ling, #1. Kate, #3.

Here are mine:

1. I lost my right eye when I was a kid, and now I have a prosthetic.

2. I can turn my feet backwards and walk that way.

3. I used to stick ice cubes up my ass to pleasure myself.

Posted by: Lucas at May 11, 2009 9:31 PM

funtime #1
george #1
genny #3
kayanne #2
Kiko # 3

1) i just ran into david cross and amber tamblyn having dinner

2) i dont have a tv to try and focus on law school

3) i slashed my hand open while smashing a guitar when i was performing in a punk band

Posted by: matt at May 11, 2009 9:32 PM

Hmmm.. I'm guessing #2 for Jim Doggie.

Here are mine:

1. While working at Walt Disney World, I met Miley Cyrus.

2. I have had sex in public places such as the library at Penn State University.

3. My first kiss was on my 16th birthday.

Posted by: Melissa at May 11, 2009 9:32 PM

Kayanne -- #1
Kiko -- #3
Ling -- #2
Kate -- #3
Lucas -- #2
matt -- #1
Melissa -- #3

When do we round it off and have people reveal their lies?

Posted by: Jim Doggie at May 11, 2009 9:37 PM

Kiko #3
Jim Doggie #1
Ling #1
Kate #3
Lucas #1
Matt #2
Melissa #1

And like Jim Doggie, I wanna know when we reveal.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 9:39 PM

I'd say Matt's is number 3

As for me ...

1. I spent 37 hours watching Star Trek TOS episodes online, nonstop before the film came out.

2. I invited my ex-boyfriend over to watch movies and he slept over in my room.

3. There is not one square inch of my walls that aren't covered in movie posters or clippings from newspapers and magazines.

Posted by: Kelli at May 11, 2009 9:40 PM

Also, Jerce I hate you for thinking of something so deliciously addictive. I have to be at the DMV tomorrow morning and should not be up all night.

(But really, thanks, great idea!)

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 9:41 PM

Jerce -- #1
Kelli -- #2

I'll start, then. My lie was #2.

Posted by: Jim Doggie at May 11, 2009 9:43 PM

1 - I voted for Obama
2 - I think this was a great idea
3 - I've never been married

Posted by: John W at May 11, 2009 9:44 PM

Jim Doggie you know, I thought number 2 was true because I've heard a couple stories from folks that were similar to that one. You know you have to explain your truths right?

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 9:46 PM

1. Although I am an atheist now, in 10th grade I was considering entering the priesthood.

2. I once accidentally split my brother's head open.

3. I was technically dead for 3 minutes once, after a whitewater rafting accident.

Posted by: Nate at May 11, 2009 9:47 PM

My lie was #1. I've passed as a local in Sweden, Belgium, France, England, Ireland, and the Czech Republic but not in Spain or Italy. My coloring's far too pale for me to pass as a mediterranean, apparently.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at May 11, 2009 9:47 PM

We need answers people!

Posted by: Cindy at May 11, 2009 9:48 PM

Whee, I got Genny's right.

Posted by: Cindy at May 11, 2009 9:49 PM

John W #2

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 9:49 PM

Oooh, fun game. I'll play.

1. I've gotten backstage at a Third Eye Blind concert (surprisingly not that fun to party with a washed up 90's band)
2. I can knit
3. I have successfully used tears to get out of being arrested for larceny

funtime: 3
George: 1
Genny: 1

Melissa-1
Kelli-1

Posted by: Kate at May 11, 2009 9:50 PM

There's just too damned many to hazard a guess about all of these, but I'd say Jerce's lie is #1 because the other two seem too bizarre to be lies.

1) I have a scar on my ass from an unfortunate incident in the bathtub with my girlfriend.

2) I was born with spiky blond hair and blue eyes.

3) I've been asked to work as a stripper twice in my life. Once by a woman and once by a man.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at May 11, 2009 9:50 PM

Fair 'nuff, Kayanne.

#3 -- Just as it sounds. I didn't realize that "Do Not Use" sign was there for a really good reason until the train pulled into Sacramento and my head had been on it for 7 hours.
#1 -- For an acting class, I needed to come up with a physically difficult, but not impossible, activity. I threw up after cigarette #7, and swallowed cigarette #8 before my teacher stopped me and told me that I could die.

As for more guesses, #3 for John W. and #2 for Nate.

Posted by: Jim Doggie at May 11, 2009 9:51 PM

Oh, according to Kayanne I have to explain my truths not my lies. Ok.

I had chicken pox when I was 4 and contracted a simultaneous staph infection. Our pediatrician told my mom not to bring me in because I was contagious and so I didn't get treatment for about a week or two. My throat nearly swelled shut. Anyway, today I have maybe two or three small scars on my face to mark the experience.

And I am right now watching Vicky Christina Barcelona. So far I am not terribly impressed.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at May 11, 2009 9:51 PM

Nate #3
Battgirl #1

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 9:51 PM

1. I worked on a Uwe Boll film.

2. I've been a vegetarian for several years but have recently started secretly eating meat.

3. I have been on a blind date that lasted for almost 24 hours.

LIES

George #1
Genny #2
Kayanne #3
Kiko #3
Jim #2
Ling #2

Posted by: Lauren at May 11, 2009 9:53 PM

Lauren, I call #1. Nobody works for Uwe Boll and survives.

Posted by: Lucas at May 11, 2009 9:55 PM

My lie was #2.

Yes, when I was little, I did get aroused when I watched people with laryngitis on tv or in movies... although I had no idea I was aroused and thought I was simply a freak. Yes, I'm such a lazy twit that I'm considering entering the adult industry for school money instead of working my ass off at a real job this summer. And... yes, I'm a bit of a sexual deviant.

Posted by: Ling at May 11, 2009 9:56 PM

I should be working on a presentation right now. So much for that. For Tracer Bullet, I'm guessing 2 because I so want to hear the story behind 1.

Posted by: Nate at May 11, 2009 9:57 PM

My reveal:

1. There was a pig getting off my work elevator today. At first I thought it was a dog and then it started snorting.

2. I did rip out my own stitches. I was a sick child.

3. Okay, I didn't eat my weight in Godfather's Pizza and Michael Jackson didn't come to my house...BUT his sister did!

Posted by: Kiko at May 11, 2009 9:59 PM

#3 is the lie

#1 was an amazing experience that let me tell my ex AND his mother to fuck off because they didn't ruin my life

#2 Strom Thurmond was a complete scumbag and was probably hitting on the undertaker's assistant 3 days after he was dead

#3 my biggest dream up until a couple years ago. I don't watch that much baseball any more...

Posted by: funtime42 at May 11, 2009 10:00 PM

1. I've been paid for sex.

2. I can do your hair better than you.

3. I've been adopted twice.

Posted by: admin at May 11, 2009 10:00 PM

My Elementary School years were an interesting time.

1) I shattered my wrists and broke my right elbow playing Hide and Seek

2) I cried over a Game of Monopoly in front of my entire class

3) I punched a girl for calling my mother a whore

Posted by: RonnyK at May 11, 2009 10:01 PM

Lauren #1, you wouldn't show your face if it was true

1. I got hit by a car when I was 17. It dislocated my rib and it reset itself concave so I have what looks like a dent right beneath my left manboob

2. I have a 14 inch scar down the side of my left leg from a nerve exploration surgery

3. Despite being chronically injured I've never broken a bone

Posted by: Braski at May 11, 2009 10:01 PM

More guesses:
Nate - 2
battgirl - 3
Tracer - 1
Lauren - 1

My lie was #3:
#1 - One of the perks of working in the Magic Kingdom was meeting celebs that passed thru. Miley was there to shoot an ep of her show. She does indeed sound like a 40 year old chain-smoker in real life. And she had heels on that made her super tall.
#2 - That was a goal my fiance wanted to achieve before he graduated from PSU. I helped.

Posted by: Melissa at May 11, 2009 10:02 PM

Tracer Bullet #2
Lauren #1

For me:
1.) True. I was on the Jay Leno show over the summer in a bit that required me to toss wieners. Mr. Leno also talked about me needing a sports bra, which I didn't know, until my friends (and mom) on the east coast told me after it aired.
2.) False. I have my appendix and my tonsils, meaning there's no story.
3.) True. I still have my V-card, which also, means there's a lack of story.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:02 PM

Wow, I've picked out three lies so far. I feel all squishy and warm.

Posted by: Jim Doggie at May 11, 2009 10:03 PM

Kayanne caught me. I almost went (the guitarist was absolutely hammered and letting pretty much anything with a rack back to party with the band) but I chickened out.

My great- grandmother taught me how to knit when I was 14.

And I got lucky with a nice cop. .

Kayanne has to fess up and explain her truths. I'm sticking with #2 for the lie.

Posted by: battgirl at May 11, 2009 10:03 PM

I lied about #1. I still have both my eyes.

So yeah, as a teenager, I had this weird habit of putting ice cubes up my ass. I managed to get about eight at once. Yes, I'm talented.

And I can turn my feet backwards (pointed out). The tradeoff is that I can't really point my feet inward at all, and I walk on the sides of my feet and tend to trip a lot if I'm not wearing really wide shoes.

Posted by: Lucas at May 11, 2009 10:04 PM

Kayanne, how the hell can you be a virgin? I'm guessing you're in your 20s since you referenced your 19th birthday (even if the appendix bit was a lie), and they don't let ugly people on TV, so it can't be that. I think you're full of more lies.

RonnyK #3
Braski #3

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:09 PM

1. I gave up a child for adoption when I was 18.

2. I can't swim.

3. I have auditioned to be a dominatrix and been involved in several client sessions.

Posted by: Cindy at May 11, 2009 10:09 PM

Lucas I'm 21, I'm not ugly and I'm a virgin.

Posted by: babara at May 11, 2009 10:10 PM

2) I've Stolen from Charity

3) I've have commited multiple Home Invasions

Posted by: RonnyK at May 11, 2009 10:11 PM

barbara you said your lie, now give us your two truths.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:11 PM

Damn you Kayanne correct, even as a kid you were told to never hit a girl

Posted by: RonnyK at May 11, 2009 10:12 PM

Cind - #2.

Posted by: admin at May 11, 2009 10:14 PM

For the win!

I knew that if you were pissed that a girl called your momma a whore, your momma probably raised you well enough not to raise a hand to a lady (no matter how much of a dumb bitch she exposed herself to be). If you had said boy... well I would have had to amend my answer.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:14 PM

Sorry, *Cindy.

admin's been drankin'

Posted by: admin at May 11, 2009 10:14 PM

I'll say #2 for RonnieK just because I want to know how anyone could get so badly injured playing Hide 'n' Seek.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at May 11, 2009 10:15 PM

Cindy #1

Just because I firmly believe Pajiba has it's share of dominatrixes.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:15 PM

Damn. I should refresh more often. But I still want to hear the rest of that story.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at May 11, 2009 10:16 PM

I was hiding in a tree, My Sister who was in at the time snuck up on me and scared the bejesus out of me. It was Tag Hide and Seek so I bailed out of the tree onto the road before she could tag me but my foot got caught and I fell face first onto the pavement. My wrists broke my fall...

Shattered both of them and fractured my right elbow.

Yeah shut up, Hiding in a Tree is Genius

Posted by: RonnyK at May 11, 2009 10:18 PM

Kayanne, I think I just found that Tonight Show clip on Hulu. Looked like fun. And how were the hot dogs?

Posted by: Jim Doggie at May 11, 2009 10:18 PM

You really found it on Hulu...? I had to dig it up in the Summer archives of Jay Leno's website because they had taken it down from Hulu. It was fun, but my voice gets all tight and squeaky when I'm nervous. The hot dogs were delicious.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:22 PM

I gotta get back to work so here's the reveal:
1. True. I went to Catholic High School and was considering the priesthood for a couple years, but by the end of senior year, I realized that now matter how much I wanted to believe in god, I just didn't.
2. True. When we were younger, my brother and I were into carpentry as a sort of hobby. One evening we were working out in the garage and my hand saw got stuck in a piece of wood. He stupidly leaned in for a closer look while I was still trying to pull the saw free. It slipped and caught him across the forehead. Head wounds bleed a lot.
3. False. I have been whitewater rafting exactly once and it was a wonderful experience. Never, to my knowledge, have I ever been dead, unless you count the ~14 billion years before I was born.

Posted by: Nate at May 11, 2009 10:23 PM

Also, ouch RonnyK. And for your second set #2.

And I wanna know why Lucas is convinced I can't be a virgin. Shesh.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:24 PM

Take it as a compliment, Kayanne. We men assume that the only 21-year-old virgins are either ugly, socially inept or religious freaks. We think entirely with our genitals.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at May 11, 2009 10:27 PM

1. True. My mother was a nun. So was one of her sisters. They both quit. My dad is an athiest.

2. False. I stick to warm blooded pets, only.

3. True. Nicknamed a sun sneeze, it is a photo allergic reaction whenever I'm in sunlight...cloudy day doesn't matter. It effects a lot of us. It's just more fun to say I'm allergic to sunlight.

Posted by: Kate at May 11, 2009 10:28 PM

Posted by: gp at May 11, 2009 10:29 PM

gp, what makes you think that we're liars?

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:31 PM

Oh, shit. Your googling skills are ridiculous. And OHMYGOD it's a bow, not my boobs!

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:32 PM

Not sure who I am supposed to guess at so here's my three anyway.
1) I once shoved a condom covered hotdog up a passed out dude's ass, leaving the condom in there, making him think he was raped. He ended up becoming a born again Christian.
2) I once severed my own finger and it took me and a few co-workers over 20 minutes to get the fucking thing out of pipe if fell into.
3) I puked in the Sistine Chapel. Luckily I had a bag handy but I did get sick underneath one of the greatest works of art in human history. Never stare at that fucking thing while really....REALLY...hung over.

Posted by: diablo at May 11, 2009 10:33 PM

Yikes, can we take that link down? Seriously. I don't want my Pajiba stalker(s) to run away screaming.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:33 PM

Hey, something bouncing in shirt area in the course of running...besides, it's Leno. He'd go for the easy joke.

Posted by: Jim Doggie at May 11, 2009 10:34 PM

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:36 PM

Oh wow - someone successfully played the virginity gambit! Congrats, Kayanne! You win. And also: cherish it.

1. I can sing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in German.

2. I've met five Oscar nominees and one Nobel prize-winner.

3. I nearly killed two of my grandparents on separate occasions before the age of 14.

Posted by: Caspar at May 11, 2009 10:36 PM

Certainly, K. I don't think they'd run away screaming, but as you wish. Now, if some kind soul knows how I can take comments down or edit previous comments, we'll get right on it.

Posted by: Jim Doggie at May 11, 2009 10:37 PM

Caspar-#2.

Posted by: admin at May 11, 2009 10:38 PM

Nope. Sorry, y'all are wrong. I worked on TWO of them. Gotta pay the bills. Please don't ban me. I worked for 2 days on District 9, that balances it out, right?

#2 was my lie. #3 was alotta fun, though the length of the date didn't correlate with the length of the relationship: we broke it off after a month. Still, it was a rad first date.

I'm 3 for 3 on the guess count. I need George & Jerce to pony up so I can get my total.

Posted by: Lauren at May 11, 2009 10:38 PM

Don't worry Kayanne, at least your Canadian stalkers can't even see the damn thing.

Posted by: Lauren at May 11, 2009 10:42 PM

...besides, it's Leno. He'd go for the easy joke.

Weirdly enough, that's exactly what I said to my mom as I spoke to her on the phone about it. She was a little grossed out, but not enough to not laugh at me.

Caspar why thanks, I think I will! And #1 for my guess.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 11, 2009 10:43 PM

Posted by: Jim Doggie at May 11, 2009 10:48 PM

i had sex with an angel of god.
i got a lapdance from a black stripper.
and have a PH.D

Posted by: utahdynamo at May 11, 2009 10:54 PM

1) True. Without getting into the sticky details (a gentlemen should never kiss and tell) I stood up too fast in the bathtub and hit my butt on the faucet. I've got a small scar at the base of my tailbone.

2) True. Despite my current status as Mandingo Sex God, I was born looking not unlike Calvin (Who know how appropriate that would wind up being?) My father called me Woodstock. The bastard.

3) False. I've been asked to strip once by a woman while I was in college, but though I've been propositioned by men on several occasions, I've never been asked to strip. Considering that everyone who guessed assumed this was true, I'm afraid I might disappoint during PajiBacon East.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at May 11, 2009 10:55 PM

Well Played Kayanne,

3 fingers, my skull, and all but 1 of my toes crackle in a sort of bizarro applause for your lie detection

Posted by: Braski at May 11, 2009 10:55 PM

alright, my reveal:

1) i just ran into david cross and amber tamblyn having dinner
true, they were eating at gemma on the corner of bowery and third (i walk by that restaurant everyday on my way home from school looking for celebrities and finally, with 3 days left, i was rewarded)

2) i dont have a tv to try and focus on law school
false, true of a friend of mine, but not only do i have tv, ive had it on all evening

3) i slashed my hand open while smashing a guitar when i was performing in a punk band
true, i was in a punk band. i was the drummer. i was dressed up like a banana the whole time (probably should have added that fact too). during our finale i picked up a guitar, strummed it a few times like we were all going to play and then smashed the shit out of it and a chunk of wood sliced open my hand. no scar unfortunately, but that would have been badass

Posted by: matt at May 11, 2009 11:18 PM

kayanne, i didn't read far enough. anyway the way WE played it was 2 lies and a truth. that can get ugly real fast.
but anyway, damn this thread and it's confusingness making me back-up and re-read posts every damn post.

why don't i have more of a life? :)

Posted by: gp at May 11, 2009 11:28 PM

I can't keep up with all these lies and truths and who's revealed already and who's guessed what and so forth and so on.

1. I was once saved from an arrest on drug charges because the cops searched my friend before me and the clown car of condoms he ended up pulling out of his pockets completely distracted them.

2. I owe my curvaceous physique to my Italian grandmother and her infectious love of all things rich and carby.

3. I lost my virginity in an open barn in the middle of a frigid-ass winter, on hay bales, at the age of fifteen.

I guess #2 for EVERYONE. That way I'm bound to be at least a little right...

1) When I was a kid, I once designed a "flame thrower" out of a super soaker, kerosene, and aluminum foil and convinced to of the boys in my neighborhood to test it for me

2) I am a badass roller derby player

3) I can play the guitar with my toes

Okay, only Jerce and George haven't ponied up yet -- so I'm just gonna weigh in on theirs: Jerce #1 (Tasmania is way the fuck away) and George #2 (murder might not get you a ticket in Las Cruces).

My turn:

1) I bought beer at a convenience store when I was nine.

2) I lost my virginity when I was nineteen.

3) My ex-wife blew a lawyer for acid at Burning Man.

Much to my shame, 1) is true. We thought it was really funny at the time, but it messed the guy up a lot and now he goes to college campuses to scream at students about Jesus.
2)false. It wasn't my finger that I cut off. Sorry Matt. But he did get it back...most of it...it was kind of smooshed by a valve.
3)true I did vomit into a bag in the Sistine Chapel. I was coming off a bad bender of cheap wine and rich Italian food. The morning of the tour, I awoke with my head in the biday, bidai...the toilet thingie that shoots into your ass.
Side note, are public toilet seats a fucking underground currency or something in Italy? My god I don't think I saw a public toilet with the seat still attached the entire time I was there. You know, we Americans have a lot of faults, but fucking christ we at least provide proper facilities.

Okay, here are my 3 things...

#1 I've been paid for sex.

3. I was once part of an acoustic duo known as the Superfluous U's.

You're wrong about mine. You presume that her trip started before the blowjob -- in fact, the order was reversed. At least, that's what she wrote in her journal. I wasn't there, but her boyfriend was more than happy to corroborate.

I don't believe that you've been paid for sex...you're just too sensitive.

So our night of passion and pleasure meant NOTHING to you? NOTHING? Or did the 10th orgasm cause amnesia?

Seriously, congratulations on holding out. You're mighty pretty but it's probably that Hurricanes fan thing that turns the guys off.

I have no problem believing you, because , daughter is 23 and curvy and pretty but she's had like one date in her life because 1) she's happy with herself and happy being with herself and 2) she's focussed on her education and music and doesn't need the dating drama and 3) she doesn't suffer fools gladly, and 4) in the arts all the good ones really are taken or gay.

Jeez, I'm a terrible liar in person, so the Internet was invented for people like me. And most bizarre truths about myself I've already revealed here at one time or another, so my fans and followers will nail this, but here goes anyway:

1. I won $185,000 on "Jeopardy!"

2. In college I set fire to my dorm.

3. Dennis Miller made fun of the sweater I was wearing at a comedy club.

Posted by: Che Grovera at May 12, 2009 1:15 AM

But gp, Lars isn't gay! He's just a typical southern frat boy. We weren't dating and aren't dating, I think he's still abroad in Singapore and I think he's still dating his girlfriend. But I have no idea. He is a tall cutie, though, isn't he?

So our night of passion and pleasure meant NOTHING to you? NOTHING? Or did the 10th orgasm cause amnesia?
I was gonna make a totally inappropriate "but Sister said it only counts if it goes in the 'lady-hole'" joke, but I'm too much of a lady for that. Plus, even though I didn't go to Catholic school, even I'm smart enough not to piss off a nun enough to get a whoopin'.

But seriously, though, buc your daughter and I need to go have, like, brunch together or something. I feel like she and I would be besties.

And shut your face. GO CANES!

So I'm a lousy liar on the 'Nets too. *sigh*

1. Lie. It was $18,500.

2. Never got caught.

3. Dennis went to the same college I did, at the same time. We didn't know each other but we had some friends in common, guys I played air hockey with, also I kinda knew his brother Jimmy. Dennis showed up one day and commented on the game going on, had people on the floor. Couple years later he was on the way up and had a gig at a club in Pittsburgh. I had to cut in front of the stage to get to the restroom, and I had on a sweater with a zipper down the front. He said something about did I get that at Proving Ground, which was a kind of geek chic store in a suburban mall (South Hills Village, for anyone who knows/cares).

And to explain all the dogs, we raise them for Leader Dogs for the Blind, so we get a puppy for a year then have to give them up *sniff* quite emotional, actually.
And I think you should all know that the acoustic band I was in was called The Rebound Kings. The Superfluous U's was just my idea for a Brit-Pop group.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at May 12, 2009 1:33 AM

The Truth About Me

#1 is TRUE. I have been paid, literally -- cash money -- for sex. Long ago and far away, back when I was a drunk, over 12 years ago, though I won't tell you where. (If you get to know me, or troll my blog long enough, it's pretty easy to suss out the timeline, but who gives a shit, really -- unless you discover you were one of the men who PAID for it -- da da da DUM!) For 4 months, I was a quite highly paid escort. So there. Funny; there was a time in my life when that was a source of deep shame. Now? Who gives a shit.

#3 is TRUE. I had a large featured role in a film shot in Spain; they recruited me as part of a group of little blonde girls at a private school I attended while my family lived there. We were all supposed to have a few lines, but I was a natural performer and none of the other girls could speak, so I got all their lines. Alas, after my part was all done shooting, the hack of a director, watching his dailies, realised he was directing a bunch of shit and decided to convert what he had into a soft-core porn feature. And so my large featured role became a fleeting shot of me in the background of a really, really bad piece of shit soft-core porn film, whose title I will not share with you even if you find me and waterboard me 283 times.

#2 is FALSE. It was a poodle.

A female poodle.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at May 12, 2009 2:13 AM

Ugh, Rhyme you would like the Red Wings. You probably like the Yankees, too. Communist Band Wagon Fan.

And Che, my love for Hockey goes deeper than the Canes. I had some family members who played (they're from Maryland, you see) and I was fascinated by it. The technique, the speed, the intensity... Then I went to the RBC center and caught my first Canes game and the rest was history. I don't just like 'em cause they're locals and I've been to Brind'amour's house (a friend was house sitting), I like hockey because it's amazing and I like the Canes cause they're wonderful and fantastic and they're so cool. And ohmygod when they won the Stanley Cup I almost cried. Don't hate me for what I love, respect me for the passion I have for it.

Posted by: admin at May 12, 2009 3:18 AM

Ooooheeee secrets about me ehhhh hmmmmm

1)I underwent plastic surgery before I turned 17, rhinoplastly, to straighten a severe bump that I gained after several, several years of running face first into things like walls and the floor. Before the surgery I had to see a psychiatrist who said I would pose a danger to myself without the operation as I was bleakly depressed from being bullied at school over it.

2)I used to appear as a child star singer and dancer on UK kids shows under the stage name DeeDee Heart, wearing a little red,velvet tunic over white t-shirts and tights, decorated with little hearts. I'd sing old musical numbers and tap, with the idea I could bring capture the 'Shirley Temple' magic. My career ended when my manager was caught with an underage (15 year old) girl and my parents panicked.

3)I have a pathological fear of being eaten by a lion near my house, despite being nearly an hour from any zoo. The fear manifests most strongly when I have to carry meat for any long distance, say if I've walked to the shop for groceries. I am convinced that the Lion will smell meat even through sealed packets, and come and devour me. The lion, in the interim, lives in the surprisingly thick forest surrounding my home.


Mine aren't so great, it's probably quite obvious which are the true ones and which is the lie, but it would be interesting to see what people think

1. I may have had two operations on my testicles and now one hangs in a much different way to the other. Needless to say this was the most action Ive had in a long time and may now contribute to my intimacy issues.
2. I was once the only guy in the school choir in a misguided attempt to meet girls and convince them i was not just a ginger kid with glasses.
3. Though never having learnt to drive I have caused two car crashes while Ive been behind the wheel also in misguided attempts to woo women.

Also in misguided attempts to woo women:
- pretending I smoke. (its cool you look like a dragon.)
- dancefloor handstands and kip-ups. (its cool you look like MC Hammer.)
- rock paper scissors on the dancefloor. (Surprisingy good ice breaker)
- telling a girl she has the eyes of hitler. (if she laughs you're onto a winner)
- the paedophile dance from brass eye. (this is where CCTV shows a paedophile clapping in front and behind his back at high speed as a way to signal to another paedophile that there is a child unattended)

While I am very familiar with The Vortex, you would have to be naked or have a supersoaker for a pisser to get it all over you and your husband, let alone the hundreds of people in line. I say #2.
And judging from your comments on this site, I fully believe you could tough out a broken tailbone until getting cleaned up and prettified.

1. I wrote a personal ad for my mom on craigslist and she's been with the same woman for over five years (she came out when I was in high school.)

2. When I worked as a nanny I had a weekly playgroup with Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams and Matilda.

3. My boyfriend is 20 years older than I am.

Oh, Kballs, you saw right through my lie. I was hoping there were few familiar with the Vortex.

1. I did break my tailbone playing soccer. I ran into a male team mate and flew about 4 feet in the air. I landed on my butt and had pain shoot through my whole body. I got up and played the rest of the first half and all of the second. I went home and went to bed. I woke up unable to get out of bed. I rolled out and walked to the living room. I laughed and told my aunt I needed to go to the hospital because I thought my butt was broken. I did shower first and then went to the hospital. When the doctor brought in the x-ray of my broken coccyx, my aunt began laughing hysterically and asked for a copy to frame and hang in the living room.

2. Peeing on the Vortex is a lie. I am so bad at lying.

3. I have terrible panic attacks triggered by driving, standing in a store, thinking too much, etc. I take medicine for it now and go to therapy to work through it all. I have been prescribed a dog. Ha!

Melody,
You got it, although 3. is a half-truth. I've only stepped in dog shit barefoot once. It got between my toes. I just dry heaved again.
1. I went to four different colleges over a 10 year span before earning my bachelor's. That time was split by the Navy, leading to . . .
2. I went on a Navy group sightseeing trip *somewhere* in Japan where my buddy got really drunk and yelled horribly inappropriate things, all day. I started to join in, thought better of it, and worked on getting him to settle down, all day. When I returned to my ship, the captain found out and fucking lost it. I could not leave the ship for a month. Living on a Cruiser for 30 days when you're in port is a nightmare.

the car driving was my lie. i can kinda drive but have no spatial awareness and havent passed my test but have still managed to drive into my dads stationary car while hoovering a car and also i somehow managed to spin out/crash at a race day stock car racing.

i hate driving just want self-powered flight.

HAH. I was right about admin.

I love being right.

And Che, you still have not copped to it, but I'm betting I was right about you and your virginity, too.

Posted by: Maryscott O'Connor at May 12, 2009 12:47 PM

Well, this is probably a dead thread, and I was late to the party, so here is my explanation:

1. True. This is where I learned that most teenaged girls, and indeed, most girls in general do not appreciate being embarrassed by a 6' singing chicken. I believe the song I wrote went: "I'm a chicken, here's some flowers. Chicken-Chicken, Flowers-Flowers, yay logar!"

2. True. Got drunk with a couple friends and decided to get it over with since my chicken costume ploy hadn't worked for me the year before. I don't know why she wanted round two, but I have one big guess.

3. False. It was a post-operative procedure. God, that was a long drive to San Fran.

I deserve to pony up, my lie was number 1. I don't live in Las Cruses Che, I live in Los Alamos.

LOS ALAMOS, the atomic city, and the cops are fucking fascists here. Everywhere else in my state, there are problems with criminals, but in a closed community made up of mostly well off white people, the police are fucking insane. I actually feel sorry for them, they really don't have much to do.

I would have answered earlier, but I've been sleeping a lot because of a cold.

Don't know if anyone cares, but:
1) I had sex in my high school home ec room and on the stage of our high school auditorium;

TRUE We used the home ec room as a dressing room for plays, so rehearsals were AWESOME!

2) I have driven cross-country, alone, both north to south and east to west, in an AMC Gremlin;

FALSE I did drive to western Missouri in a Gremlin and it has scarred me for years.

3) Florence Henderson once looked at me like I was a serial killer.

TRUE I used to work at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and she is there for every 500. I got introduced to both her and Ruth Buzzi the same morning. Ruth Buzzi--friendly, funny and really nice. Mrs. Brady--not so much. I was beneath her, obviously, and she looked at me like I was going to eat her dog.

Kayanne, I just find it surprising that anyone would willingly remain a virgin past age 18. Are you really religious or something?

Posted by: Lucas at May 12, 2009 4:09 PM

1) I pooped yesterday.

2) I pooped this morning.

3) I am pooping right now.

The most entertaining diversion to date! My life is boring in comparison!

Posted by: amylou at May 12, 2009 5:15 PM

1. True. My mom came out as a lesbian when I was in high school and I wanted her to start dating, so I put an ad titled "Get To Know My Mom" on craigslist. She's been with the same woman ever since :-D

2. True. Hated being a nanny to rich brats aside from the money, but I had a weekly "babyfingers" class with Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams. It was basically a sign language class to use for toddlers before they spoke, so they could pantomime "milk", "hungry", "more", etc. They were great rolling-on-the-floor with the babies parents and I was surprised at how petite Michelle was. Everyone was nervous at first but they smiled and complimented everyone on the babies. Miss you Heath.

3. False. Although I like my men like I like my coffee (dark!) my boyfriend is not that much older than I am. I'm 28, he's a hot 43 yr old Puerto Rican.

Skitz, they're lies, ALL LIES!

Posted by: admin at May 13, 2009 12:36 AM

Hey Che, I want a response. I ponied up because of you.

Posted by: George at May 13, 2009 1:24 AM

I'm such a lurker on Pajiba, but I just have to reply to the comment left by Lucas. Really man? "willfully" staying a virgin? Please don't assume that us 18+ virgins are locked into a chastity belt of religiosity. Instead, consider that we might actually take sex seriously and haven't met a guy we want to get that intimate with yet. Whenever I end up talking to guys about sex, they seem so surprised that a hot jew with big boobs is still a virgin at 19. and that pretty well explains why I still am. So much pressure is put on high school and college-age girls to have sexual experience before they're mature enough to handle it, just because it's the thing to do. So now most of my friends who have had sex did it for all the wrong reasons. They don't care about the guy, refuse to accept they're being used because they're horny and don't know how to masturbate. And they're not exactly proud of their random hookups either. For my friends who are in loving relationships and have had sex with their boyfriends, good for them. I hope to meet a guy I care about that I can have fantastic sex with, you know, soon. But why lose my virginity in a situation I'm going to regret? That doesn't sound very Pajibalicious to me.

I'm amazed this thread is still going more than 24 hours after its finished- this should become a perma-thread. I guess I'll throw my three on there and see if anyone can get them.

1) I write short stories. Two of them have been published in anthologies, and one of these received glowing reviews from Stephen King, Douglas Preston, and Lincoln Child.

2) One night while vacationing with my family at Niagara Falls I disappeared for four hours with a random young Canadian woman and hooked up with her on the picnic tables in the middle of the campground where we were staying.

3) I have seen The Dark Knight, Iron Man, and Batman Begins a combined 14 times in theatres.

Ryan, I'll say #2, because if #1 and #3 are true then you're adorable. Though #2 is hot, if not splintery-sounding.

..guess it's my turn.
1) I insulted the bassist of the Decemberists with a well-intended email my friend and I sent him.
2) I met BJ Novak after he did standup, determined not to call him Ryan, and introduced myself by saying "Oh my gosh Ryan you are one of my favorite comedy writers!"
3) I missed my senior year of high school almost entirely due to illness that has persisted into college, making me miss about half of my freshman year.

looks druish,

I can't even concentrate on trying to discern the lie. I'm still mulling "big boobs."

Are they virgins too?
