Two Truths and a Lie

[ThatNickGuy]

I'm sure many have heard of or played this game. Let's see how Halforums plays it.

For those unfamiliar with it, here's how it's played: you state three things about yourself. Two them are true, the other is a lie. Everyone else tries to guess which one is the lie. The lie shouldn't be blatantly obvious or silly, to make it a challenge for those guessing. Once someone guesses correctly or enough time has passed (your call), you admit to the lie and go into a little more detail about the truths that people thought were lies. Ready? I'll start.

1) I once posed nude for a photographer friend.
2) I was on a game show, once.
3) I've trained at a pro-wrestling school.

 

[Frank]

One True Three it is.

YOU WERE NEVER ON A GAME SHOW NICK!

 

[ThatNickGuy]

*buzzer* Wrong-o, my friend!

 

[Terrik]

1. I've eaten fried spider at Beijing's Wangfujing street

2. I am actually allergic to cats, despite my predilection for rescuing kittehs

3. I once convinced a young woman in a small village that my brother was a Chinese person with a skin condition[DOUBLEPOST=1353225731][/DOUBLEPOST]

*buzzer* Wrong-o, my friend!

1 is...is...it just has to be true. I don't think you trained at a pro-wrestling school, despite your ability to lift cars.

 

[David]

1. Statement 3 is false.

2. Cake is delicious.

3. Statement 1 is true.

But nah, seriously this time:

1. I lost my virginity in Germany while barely able to speak the local language.

2. I'm a proud Brony

3. A girl once proposed to me over the deliciousness of a batch of peanut butter cookies I made

 

[Frank]

1. I once had to chase a mentally ill man into a home made labyrinth of traps on his loony bin psycho farm.

2. I once had a man almost shoot me in the back, only the warning of his girlfriend saved my life.

3. I once watched one of my watch mates sink his patrol car into a swamp up to the cherries on top.

I'm going to say 1 is false.

 

[Frank]

I wish to God it was, but it isn't. That happened.

 

[HCGLNS]

1. I was once arrested for stealing a diesel locomotive.

2. I survived a bear attack.

3. I was involved in a 3 car collision.

[ThatNickGuy]

#1 was indeed a lie. I've never posed nude.

#2: Again in Toronto, I was on a very small budget show called "Man Up" (I still have the t-shirt I wore for it). Sadly, because I didn't have cable or the specific channel it was on (MenTV), I've never even seen the show, specifically the episode I was on. I didn't win anything because I lost every single event and only managed to answer one question right in the lightning round. I did, however, get a shot taken where they were taking shots of the champs (wearing their Man Up titles).

Spoiler

(Goddamn I miss being in that kind of good shape.)

I've never seen the show or the episode I was on, save for a trailer (which I can't even find now).

#3: While I was living in Toronto, I went to Rob Fuego's Squared Circle Training (I'd send a link, but the site's currently down). I was there for about six months before coming to the realization that I had a fear of being physically lifted up. That's a long story. I keep thinking about writing several blog entries about my time in wrestling school.

EDIT: OOH, correction on some video clip proof! Here's a retrospective look back at season 1. I'm just starting to watch it, so I'll re-edit this with some more particulars, but my "moments" will likely be the fish-eating contest, the drunk tank (watch Nick get dunked!), and admitting that, when asked if I ever put sunscreen on a guy, I jokingly said, "Well...there was this...one time in Vegas..." before the host cut me off.

EDIT 2: 1:10 to see Nick in a dunk tank holding a martini glass!
EDIT 3: 16:45 for the sunscreen bit. Wow, I stumbled my lines.

[bhamv3]

Oooh, I wanna play!

1. I have had sex with a woman at least once.

2. I have kissed multiple men. Some of them with tongue.

3. I have no porn collection whatsoever.

 

[HCGLNS]

#1 is the lie

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Guesses:

Terrik, I'll guess #2, as the other two seem totally plausible where you live.
David, since I don't read or follow the MLP thread, I'm guessing #2.
Frank, I'm thinking #3. Don't you live in Alberta, where swamp lands aren't exactly a thing?
HCGLNS, #3? You work enough on the highways and roads and such that I could see a bear attack happening.
bhamv3 I'm going with #2.

 

[Terrik]

#1 is actually the lie. I've seen fried spider, but I've never touched it. That was too much even for me. Silk worm, seahorse, scorpion, cicada, fine. But spider? Hell no.

#2 I am actually allergic to cats. I get watery, itchy eyes, a stuffy nose and sneeze like crazy around them. When I rescued Haley, and later, the 5 kittens in Shanghai, I was on constant allergy medication and I was fairly miserable. I had to be extra vigilant to wash my hands and make sure no cat hair was anywhere to make having them around somewhat livable.

#3 When my brother came a couple years ago, I took him up to Changbai Mountain in the Northeast (sits right on the border of China/N. Korea). In a small town near the mountain called Bai He, we went to this tiny little restaurant. There was a young woman there serving our table. She had asked where we were all from. My Chinese friend had the idea to tell her that my brother was Chinese and had white skin (not to mention lighter hair and green eyes) because of a skin condition. The poor girl, who likely had never seen a foreigner, let alone been outside her village, bought the story before I felt bad and told her in Chinese that he was my brother and we were both from the US. She laughed, said my brother was cute and asked for his phone number. Lawl.

 

[Zappit]

1. I won a journalism award in high school for my cartoons.
2. I won an award for an anti-smoking poster in elementary school and got to shake the governor's hand.
3. One of the few good paintings I did in college contains (by accident) a fair amount of my blood.

 

[Frank]

#2 is the lie

Correct!

1. We had a crazy living in the nearby Metis colony in northern Alberta who had documented mental illness problems. Well, he beat the shit out of his wife, almost to the point of killing her so we had to go out there and get him. He had set up an insane getaway maze in the forest behind his house filled with weird pitfalls covered in twigs and shit. It was....not fun and very surreal.

2. I told a story very similar to this on here, except for in the story I told it was where I was almost stabbed, not shot.

3. Nick, northern Alberta is entirely swamp, like all swamp and yeah, nothing will be funnier to me than the day the new guy hit a patch of ice and slid right into a half frozen swamp. Driving up to where he was to see him sitting on the roof of his patrol car sunk all the way up his lights, pouting. Hee-fucking-larious.

 

[Yoshimickster]

1. I once met famed Philly broadcaster Harry Kalas.

2. When I was kid my head was rammed into my friend's wall where there is still a spackle mark to this day.

3. I've went to the San Diego Comic con.

 

[CrimsonSoul]

1. I have an NFA FN-FAL
2. I have a fetish for pregnant women
3. In the past I enjoyed skydiving

3. If you're in the Philly area, you might not have traveled out that far.

 

[Yoshimickster]

CORRECT! Actually I met Harry Kalas in San Diego, I just didn't go to the comic con since it was a baseball trip. Dear lord was I lucky to meet him when I could, his voice sounded even more like the voice of god up close than on TV or radio.

 

[Espy]

Yoshimickster
I'm guessing #3.
EDIT: NINJA'D by Zappit!


Now for my turn:
1. I helped cook and eat a wild monkey in the Amazon.
2. My wife and I once destroyed a metal bed frame during marital relations.
3. Despite what my avatar implies I have never smoked a cigarette in my life.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Espy, though I feel like I'll be wrong, #1 sounds just too crazy to be true.

 

[Espy]

Does it?

 

[Anonymous]

Does it?

If it is number one, you checked it first right? Cos that is where AIDS came from. Some dude at a monkey once and BAM! AIDS. A lotta people say someone fucked the monkey, but there have been groups of people who eat monkey brains. I hear its a delicacy.

If you're sexing a metal bed frame into oblivion and traveling the Amazon, then you don't have the health of a smoker.

Number 3.

 

[Yoshimickster]

1. I've haven't eaten fast food from a major chain in years.

2. I battle with depression on occasion.

3. I stole from Wal-Mart once.

 

[Wahad]

1. I once ate bull balls, because they were the meat in a can of stew I bought in France.
2. I've set foot in exactly 12 countries other than my native one.
3. When out for a beer with my then-girlfriend's dad, we both got hit on by a drunk lady who opened the conversation with ''I have breast cancer."

 

[Espy]

Number 3.

And again this man nails it.

2. You travel, but not that extensively.

 

[bhamv3]

bhamv3 I'm going with #2.

Nope, actually. I have, in fact, kissed three men in my life, two of them involved tongue contact, though both tongue contacts were accidental.

 

[Wahad]

2. You travel, but not that extensively.

Correct! It's actually been 10, if you count ''setting foot'' as ''touching ground in airport in Kuala Lumpur before switching planes on the way to Australia." If that doesn't count, then just nine.

Edit; for the record, said nine countries are Belgium, Germany, France, Denmark, England, Spain, Italy, Australia, USA.

 

[filmfanatic]

1. My first kiss was a french kiss with a lesbian model.
2. I had a chance meeting with Daniel Radcliffe while spending Christmas in New York.
3. I have Asperger Syndrome.

 

[Yoshimickster]

1. My first kiss was a french kiss with a lesbian model.

This one! Is it this one? I bet its this one.

 

[Zappit]

1. My first kiss was a french kiss with a lesbian model.

3. I have Asperger Syndrome.

Tough one. I'm putting my perfect record on the line here.

2. I don't know you well enough to tell if you have Aspergers, but there are so many different levels to it that I wouldn't be surprised. The kiss sounds like one of those strange, awkward incidents in one's youth, possibly involving alcohol.
