wrong box. try again.

sperose - where do you get your E from?
posted by Hellbient 13 March | 13:30
Order! Panties!
posted by box 13 March | 13:31
Hey box...I guess spelling it wrong is a bit of a tip off, no?
posted by richat 13 March | 13:33
sperose, I also thought you meant E as in Ecstasy! I wondered how it helped with that question.

Lemme try again:
1) In the last two years, we have spent about 13K on our house to make improvements that appear largely invisible.
2) Despite my good nature, I seem to be a cop magnet and never get away with ANYTHING.
3) I've had a rare autoimmune disorder, often mentioned on House.

Order! Panties!

I think that judges would be more effective at silencing unruly courtrooms by shouting this.
posted by middleclasstool 13 March | 13:37
1// I have never seen the movie Titanic.
2// This is the longest I've ever gone without giving myself a pedicure.

I bet Specklet's never been fishing. Damn, you're good box.

It's also never sarcoidosis either
posted by richat 13 March | 14:05
box - Nope!

deborah - Jail!
posted by rhapsodie 13 March | 14:05
I think Specklet's been fishing, but not to jail. Ditto for you, deborah.

box: wrong!
posted by gaspode 13 March | 14:26
Hmm. I've got another guess, gaspode, but I should probably quit before I do any more monopolizing. Okay, one more:

jtron, you're probably stoned right now. 1.
posted by box 13 March | 14:29
richat and box are on fi-yah!
posted by Specklet 13 March | 14:43
I want to make a Venn diagram to express which Metachat members have gone fishing, gone to jail and gone to Disneyland.

1) I dated my Victorian Lit professor
2 I was born in Alaska
3) My great grandfather was an Asian shipping magnate before he lost it all and died of snakebite on an island.
posted by sweetkid 13 March | 14:58
sweetkid wasn't born in Alaska I bet.

(everyone's dated their VicLit prof!)
posted by richat 13 March | 15:07
I'm thinking snakebite. Too many details.
posted by box 13 March | 15:10
Yeah I wondered about that too. Of course, two part statements like that will be disallowed if one part is true, but the other isn't. We've got to follow some rules here people!
posted by richat 13 March | 15:14
-My family owns the house that The Godfather was filmed in in Italy (the house where Appolonia gets blown up in the car).

-I worked for a while at the Playboy Club in NYC (it's not there anymore) - the same one where Gloria Steinem worked in the 60s.

-I saved someone's life once by doing the Heimlich maneuver on them.
posted by iconomy 13 March | 15:29
I wasn't born in Alaska.
posted by sweetkid 13 March | 15:33
Oddly, perhaps, I'm guessing that iconomy hasn't saved anyone with the heimlich.
posted by richat 13 March | 15:34
Actually I did - it was my mom ;)
posted by iconomy 13 March | 15:35
1. I grew up in a house that Shirley Temple had for a beach cottage, at one point.

2. Woody Allen once picked up the MetroCard I dropped and handed it back to me as I ran to catch a bus on 5th Ave.

3. Charles Bukowski had his girlfriend kick me out of a house in which I was renting a room.
posted by danf 13 March | 15:36
Dammit. Given that there are only 2 other guesses, I'll wait and see if box wants a shot. But YEAH! I got sweetkid's!

Oh, and nice job saving your mom!
posted by richat 13 March | 15:37
I never dated a lead singer from Black Flag. But I did meet Henry Rollins last week.

But the others are true.
posted by carabiner 13 March | 15:40
1. I had surgery as a kid because I had been stuffing lint up my nose for several weeks.

1. I need a week in one of those detox/healthful spa/retreats where they wake you up at six and you hike then meditate with monks before your yougurt and endive, then spa stuff, repeat.

2. I can't afford that.

3. I am the Queen of Naboo.
posted by rainbaby 13 March | 17:28
box: You are incorrect!

1. I lived in a house once owned by the son of a President (of the USA), and the father of a President.

1. I got hit on by a former singer of Black Flag back in 1985.

2. In Grade 8 I scored in the highest possible percentile for reading/comprehension, and yet still managed to get no higher than a C in any subject.

3. I was once, in a small boat, knocked off my feet by a jumping salmon.

I knew that one was true - my guess is her family doesn't own that house.

1. I once turned down an invitation for a threesome
2. I have eleven toenails, but only ten toes
3. I once got taken home from a bar by a beautiful redhead.

(in no order)
posted by dg 13 March | 19:07
Yep, never been to jail. I've gone fishing quite a bit since I met the mister (mostly trout). Lived in SoCal whilst growing up and went to DisneyLAND quite a bit, but I've never been to FLA.

gaspode - never been over the Queensboro Bridge
Trisha - never been to me
iconomy - didn't work in the Playboy Club
danf - Woody never did that
brina - didn't stuff lint
redvixen - was born with 10 fingers
jokeefe - not hit on by Black Flag member
dg - totally did the threesome
posted by deborah 13 March | 19:39
1. I often buy off-brand cigarettes when there's two for one deals
2. I am wearing black boxer briefs
3. I enjoy Stuckey's pecan logs often.
posted by jonmc 13 March | 19:57
Hah! Wrong guess, deborah.

*hides in shame*
posted by dg 13 March | 20:15
DanF, I guess the Charles Bukowski story. I know so many people who've had a Woody Allen run in.
posted by sweetkid 13 March | 20:47
Yeah, but I still think Woody.

Some more two-truths-and-a-lies:

Two DVDs that I own and one I don't:
Get A Life
Storyville: The Naked Dance
Best of Zagreb Film: Be Careful What You Wish For

Two card games I know how to play and one I don't:
Cribbage
Pinochle
Whist

Two things I ate today and one I didn't:
Garlic bagel
Crab bisque
Tangelo

The Woody Allen story was the lie. . .
posted by danf 13 March | 22:36
dg is right - my family doesn't own that house. We did own a villa in Italy but my aunts convinced my father to sell it before I ever had a chance to visit it. It's a hotel now.
posted by iconomy 13 March | 23:04
I guess it would take Woody too long to pick up a Metrocard...
posted by sweetkid 14 March | 13:57
wrong, deborah :)
posted by brina 14 March | 17:30
If anyone is still interested, that beautiful redhead that took someone home from a bar one night has never met me in person.

*sigh*
posted by dg 16 March | 06:20
so... does this mean you have 11 toenails?

I didn't do this one, so here goes:

1. I once turned down an invitation for a threesome
2. I have eleven toes, but only ten toenails
3. I once got taken home from a bar by a beautiful redhead.

sorry, dg, I guess I made off with the redhead before you showed up. :(

or... you can try these:

1. I've won a Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizenship Award
2. I've won Betty Crocker Homemaker Award
3. I've won a Mensa U.S. Young Achiever Award
