Truth is stranger than fiction!
I’d call it stealing if I hadn’t received permission, but would’ve done it regardless because it’s brilliant and ridiculous fun! In honor of Aussa over at Hacker, Ninja, Hooker, Spy, I bring you my own truth/lie post:
Five of the following facts about me are the truth. One is NOT. Can you guess which one is the lie? (Friends of mine who read my blog….no cheating!)
1. I once won $1,000 with a scratch off lottery ticket.
2. I’ve been sky diving.
Like this. But with screaming and vomit
3. I was expelled from High School my Senior year.
I was probably headed here
4. I graduated college Cum Laude.
Turns out I DO have a brain!
5. I had my first cigarette at the age of eight.
got a light?
6. I once had my tongue pierced
cuz I always make awesome decisions
That’s it, folks! Can you guess the fib? Do you have any truths that are stranger than fiction? Can’t wait to hear your guesses!

I reckon the lie is that you won money…but am intrigued to find out which one it is.

Ok. Let’s do this who wants to be a millionaire style. I’m pretty sure you started smoking at 8 because you’re sort of a trend setter, and those 8 year old girls needed something new. You’re pretty smart, so I can believe you graduated with honors. I can see you with a tongue ring because you lived through Kurt cobain and grunge. As far as getting expelled, I sort os believe that one, which is both intriguing and shocking coming from you. So that leaves money and assisted suicide. Can I get a lifeline?
I’m going with sky diving. Do I win $1000 if I’m right?

It has to be the skydiving. The rest just fits into a compelling lifeline too saucy to not be true. Although I suppose there could be saucy skydivers.

I love the name Eli. This has nothing to do with your comment. I’m just telling you. My real name is Elizabeth and I always thought it would be cool to go by Eli. ANYway, back to the subject at hand, ELI, I have your guess down as skydiving since it doesn’t fit into my compelling, saucy lifeline. 😉 You’ll know the truth soon. Stay tuned!!

haha! I love your line of logic. You’re a smart lady. Perhaps. Perhaps not today so much. Time will tell, my friend…..

I think it’s the cigarette one! At least, I hope it is….
#1: You seem like someone who would have this happen to you… like you just live a life of statistical oddities, so I find it believable.
#2: Not hard to believe, because you’re kind of a bad ass.
#3: Also not hard to believe because the bad ass part of you likely has some hell-raiser mixed in.
#4: And yet, you are smart. And also must prove everyone wrong who thought you would end up a pole dancer.
#5: The Lie! I hope…
#6: See statements above about general badassery/hell-raiser-ness.
Alright, now when’s the big reveal?!

Oh this is great! I used to play a game just like this with the kids when I was teaching high school on the first day of school so they could get to know each other better. We called it “Two Truths and a lie” – with three statements in total. I reckon the first one is the lie and all the other ones are true!
