We're playing a game at PlanetThoughtful and thought it may be fun here as well. If you'd rather, play at PT, then head on over. You'd have to become a member but the community is fantastic. and Murray is an excellent person (take in mind that he is on sabbatical at the moment).
Okay....for the game which I'm not stealing from anyone in particular because this is something I've played since I was a teenager, the directions are simple.
Directions: You have to post three things about you. Two have to be true and one has to be false. The others have to guess which is false. That's it. You decide what you want to post. The fun thing about this is that you can throw those unbelievable truths in there that noone would ever think are true. Just depends how you want to stump us. After a couple of guesses are made, you can reveal the correct answer and if you want you can go into more detail about the truths.
Feel free to start your own in your blog. This is one of the greatest icebreakers. I'd love a trackback, just to see whose in.
Here's mine....
1) I played with a zydeco band once.
2) When I was first learning to dive, I dove into a shallow pool and scraped my forehead really bad on the bottom leaving a nasty scab for the rest of the summer.
3) After weeks of phone conversation to get to know this man, we met in a public parking lot where he proceeded to masturbate in my car.
Ok, I read these over about ten times and still can't decide which is fake. I'll go with number 3. I love zydeco music!

I'm going to go with number 2 on this one. It must be my lucky number or something, because I did this over at Alicia's site as well.

I'm going with #1. Why? Because I have no idea what a zydeco band is, and I always go with the thing I don't know. I'm wrong, of course, but I've made my pick.

My first instinct is to say that #3 is the false one, but then I second guess myself and think "it's always the wildest ones that end up true." I can so see you playing with a zydeco band too...
eenie, meenie, mynie....#2
(watch it really be #3 that is false...)
