This sounds like fun! 

1. I played rugby for over 20 years, having first learned in Australia.

2. I once tripped both Yoko Ono and a fully-gowned and hooded KKK member (not on the same day) as a child. 

3. I'm missing the tip of one finger on my right hand. 

danieleandwayne

JimBobCooter, I'm guessing that your collarbone has only been broken once, not twice, so that is the lie and the other two are truths?

Davie813

Hmmm...

1. I can ride a mechanical bull

2. I've never eaten a banana

3. When I was a child, my mother accidentally ran the dryer after my beloved cat had crawled inside (she lived, but lost part of an ear)

Davie813

@JimBobCooter, I'll be different and guess that the varsity volleyball is the lie?

@danieleandwayne, I'm guessing (no good reason) that the fingertip story is untrue?

PrivateOne

This is fun, @JimBobCooter!

1.  I love to go fishing!

2.  I have a cousin that works in TV in Hollywood (and I secretly want her job).

3.  I am adopted and spent the first 3 weeks of my life in a foster home prior to being placed.

danieleandwayne - I guess you are lying about missing the tip of your finger

@Davie813 - hmm lying about the banana?

I met Richard Simmons at a doll convention.

I have worked as a dishwasher in Antarctica.

I met George Clooney while visiting Lake Como in Italy.

@Davie813: I think that you have eaten a banana.

@PrivateOne: I think that you don't like fishing.

@danieleandwayne: I think that you don't play rugby.

Yes, I've eaten bananas.  I once had a student (I was a TA in grad school) who really hadn't, though.

@PrivateOne, I agree--I don't think you like fishing (funny if you're really some sort of angling champion!)

@URMySunshine77, I too am dubious about the Antartica thing.  If we're right, you meet a lot of celebrities!

thirtyninetoforty

I love games!!

1.  I ride a motorcycle.
2.  I'm a gun enthusiast and have my CCW
3.  I have 16 hermit crabs.

thirtyninetoforty

@PrivateOne...I'm going with #2 the cousin on TV as the lie
@URMySunshine77...I'm going with Richard Simmons as the lie
@danieleandwayne...I'm going with missing the tip of your finger as the lie

kindershlitz

Cute!
1. I have an Emmy
2. I hate watermelon
3. DH beat Tiger Woods at golf
@danieleandwayne‌ I don't think you play rugby
@privateone I don't think you like fishing also why not?
@URMySunshine77‌ I don't think you met Clooney please share the Richard Simmons story if that's true! Is he that energetic in person? @davie813 can you ride a mechanical bull?
@thirtyninetoforty I'm not sure about the hermit crabs

Sherby613

This is great!

1. DH found a family of squirrels in our attic

2. A man offered to trade livestock to marry me 

3. I can my husbands diesel truck

@danieleandwayne =Tto be different, I'll say no rugby

@ PrivateOne =  I'll go with the fishing

@ URMySunshine77 =. I don't know about washing dishes in Antartica...

@ thirtyninetoforty = I'm going to say no to 16 hermit crabs

@kindershlitz = I'll say no Emmy

URMySunshine77

@thirtyninetoforty: I'm also skeptical about 16 hermit crabs! 

@kindershlitz: I think you like watermelon.

I met Richard Simmons while temping at a doll convention. He was a jewel. I wish that I could have talked with him for a long time, but there were a lot of fans.

I was a dishwasher at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. DH and I worked in the kitchen on a contract supporting researchers for the National Science Foundation. It was an amazing experience and one I hope to repeat once we are both retired.

Oh my goodness! I'm so tired I can't focus on guessing everyone's lie! I will start by contributing mine:

1) I am fluent in three languages

2) I stabbed my own foot with a pitchfork

3) I have never owned a vehicle with a trunk

kindershlitz

Know someone who used to work at the Academy so I have an Emmy. DH was paired with Tiger in his late teens and beat him first round but was lost the following day by him

I did indeed play rugby for over 20 years. And I learned in Australia when I was twelve, while visiting my relatives there. I have since played for Hartford, CT and Portland, ME as well as a traveling, invite-only club that tours the country and Canada and is made up of international players from Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Argentina, Australia, the USA, and more. Some of my teammates were also on their countries' national teams. 

But I am not missing the tip of my finger. Almost, though-- I got it stuck in milking machine when I a kid and working on a dairy farm. The farmer managed to turn the machine off before my finger got sucked in. 

gabbagal

ok, @danieleandwayne, now I need to know how and why you tripped Yoko Ono

danieleandwayne

LOL Because she broke up the Beatles! 

Seriously, I was like 7 or 8 and until my brother turned me on to the Beatles, I only listened to classical music. So when he told me that she broke up the Beatles, I was PISSED! She lived around the corner from my great aunt and she was walking down the street with a John Lennon look-alike (he was already dead by then) and I stuck out my foot and tripped her. 

My dad made me apologize. 

He did NOT make me apologize when I tripped the KKK member. 

thirtyninetoforty

@MelissaMiso...I'm going with #2 you stabbed your foot with a pitchfork as the lie

@kindershlitz & @URMySunshine77...I do indeed have 16 hermit crabs!  So, 50/50 chance on the other two

@danieleandwayne: I was actually going to ask you if you tripped her because she broke up the Beatles. I didn't think that it would be the case!

So much fun to read. I'm too lazy to think up my own. Just wanted to say hi.

MelissaMiso

@thirtyninetoforty Nope! I was in second grade and my older brother and I were in my grandparent's backyard playing farmer with their compost pile. My brother jabbed the pitchfork into the ground so it would stand up on its own. "Wow! That was so neat! Let me try!"  Whomp!!! Right into my foot. I hobbled back to the house with my mary jane shoes and kneehighs turning red screaming my head off. Got a tetanus shot that day to top it off. Not included in my list, but also true, my brother almost accidentally cut my finger off with loping sheers when I was thirteen. Apparently, he and I should have never included garden tools in our activities (he still feels bad for that one).

PrivateOne

Most of you are right, the fact that "I love to fish" is just a plain old lie. 

This was fun, we should do this on a regular basis.    After I posted, I thought of so many other good things I should have written   Loved learning so many interesting facts about you ladies.

@danieleandwayne - I'm from that area of CT

C_Girlie

1) My cousin was an assistant coach on the U.S men Olympic basketball team 2012

2) a few years ago Britney Spears came to my job

3) I graduated college in 5 years, instead of 4 years
