...Hanging From a Telephone Wire?

Unlike previous participants, my lie will not be lame, as in, "When i was six, i broke four bones in my right hand," and then "no, i only broke three bones in my left hand - ha ha!" Or, i didn't actually 'swim' in the Arctic Ocean, i only dipped my toes in, or i only have a one-inch screw in my wrist, not a two-inch screw. However, that doesn't mean it won't be easy to guess the lie.
  1. I fell asleep while with a date to an Alannis Morissette concert in the Delta Center.
  2. I'm a Ute fan.
  3. One of my photographs won second place in a Harmon's photo contest.
  4. I once came face-to-face with a cougar while mountain biking.
  5. I nearly drowned in a flash flood.
  6. I almost hooked up with a Jehovah's Witness after my mission.
  7. I won first place in my first half marathon.

There you go. I had to change some because we played the same sort of game during our family reunion and my sisters would probably remember my previous statements.

Joey and I guess that your lie is you didn't take first place in your first half marathon!

Hey Alan-you bloglooker you, thanks for all the comments. We definatly will look into a Clavinova. I had heard of them, but was skeptical. Nice to know someone who has one likes it. We are having fun trapsing through UT. I guess the Ute fan- don't you love the Zoobies? See you at the BBQ. Remind us to ask you about Swan Valley!

Bill guesses first place in the half marathon-- you can tell us who is right soon.

I say #6--you didn't have any time between when you got home and when you started sucking face with Jen.

Nobody's got it yet...

So does "nearly drowning" indicate pulled under for a few seconds or floating down a river for a mile? Either way I say that is your lie.

Alan J said...

Nearly drowning is being pulled under - and it's not the lie either.

Ok... so now I'm torn between #1 and #2... I know you went to an Alanis Morisette concert... but I don't remember you mentioning having fallen asleep. But you always put out a scarecrow last Fall with 1/2 red and 1/2 blue... so I really think you are somewhat of a Ute fan... so I'll go with #1... you didn't really fall asleep at the concert?

I think that your lie is about coming face to face with a cougar. They can be pretty aggressive and aren't prone to run away from people.

Super Daysh said...

So it must be the photo one. Did you really get firs place or never really entered the contest?

The Andersens said...

i didn't know that you ever even posted this one!!!
i compeltely skipped over all your answers that were at the top...because I wanted to be guessing on a clean slate....
topher guesses...
ok...so Topher guesses the half marathon one.
and I guess the Harmons picture contest. I think you probably won 1st place?
