Two Truths & One Lie: Guess My Ancestor!

[arildno]

WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK I WAS KICKED OUT OF THE BOY SCOUTS?

I WAS A VERY GOOD BOY ONCE!

 

[honestrosewater]

Damn, I suck at lying. OK, you got me. I also wear khaki shorts.

No, you just forgot to dispose of the evidence.

 

[hypnagogue]

I'm surpised. I thought you would want to be ever-ready for that spontaneous game of basketball.

I can't play basketball in my regular sneakers. I have a history of bad ankle sprains so I have to wear high tops, so I have a separate pair that I only wear for basketball. I once sprained one of my ankles so badly that I almost required surgery on it and was on crutches for months, literally. I still wear an ankle brace on that one whenever I play in addition to the high tops.

Damnation! Ratbags! Scallawaggery!

OK. It's hypnagogue. She knew right where his picture was.

 

[hypnagogue]

No, she just knew where the member photo index was. Only a badboy who's been kicked out of boy scouts could push her buttons like that.

 

[honestrosewater]

MIH guessed who it was, BTW. It's not really a big deal. I only said that I was becoming rather smitten but trying to resist.

 

[hypnagogue]

aw shucks.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Only a badboy who's been kicked out of boy scouts could push her buttons like that.

Oh, I forgot about his attractive juvnile deliquency.

Now that perky little Barbie doll is maniacally PMing her vast network of friends. Tomorrow everyone will be gossiping.

 

[arildno]

I was NOT kicked out of the boy scouts, I was a good boy!
My mum took me out to see operas and ballets when I was 12-13; I loved it, and have never seen the point of going on a live rock concert.
I left the scouts when I was 17 and subsequently got f***** instead.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I used to make my own wine.

I used to bake my own bread.

I used to make my own car repair tools.

 

[gurkhawarhorse]

# 3 indeed

 

[arildno]

I used to bake my own bread.

I think you prefer others to do this for you.

 

[hypnagogue]

I used to make my own wine.

psst... I guess I shouldn't link to it, but if you sniff around you can find a funny article (somewhere) about making wine with moldy bread and socks.

I used to make my own car repair tools.

This is indeed dubious, but its dubiety is too out of proportion with the other choices. Therefore, I'll guess that you never made your own wine.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I have never made my own wine. I haven't drunk in like 25 years anyway.

I machined a "pickle fork" for separating ball joints at the machine shop where I worked cause I was too cheap to buy one, and later made a steering wheel puller for a guy I know.

 

[cefarix]

OK, so number 3 was false. I made it a bit obvious didn't I?

Try this instead:
1. I have four sisters.
2. I have had seizures.
3. I have twenty-four cousins.

Pick the false one, and win a prize!

 

[arildno]

I think 1. is false.

 

[arildno]

Youve been mentioning penises (penii?) quite a bit now.. what's the deal?

The plural is penes, damn it!
Two different threads and STILL not the correct plural:
Penes, penes, the correct form is:
PENES!
It isn't that hard, is it?

 

[honestrosewater]

It isn't that hard, is it?

Ahem.

I'm going with

3. I have twenty-four cousins.

just to be different.

 

[gurkhawarhorse]

well try this then
#my grandfather had 5 wives
#he had 52 children in total
#both above are false, its not my grandfather but my father!

 

[gurkhawarhorse]

2 minutes of ignorance!
its not that hard, try it.

 

[arildno]

well try this then
#my grandfather had 5 wives
#he had 52 children in total
#both above are false, its not my grandfather but my father!

Since two of the statements must be true, the last statement must be the false one.

 

[gurkhawarhorse]

what if all r true?

 

[honestrosewater]

Oh, the boy scout beat me to it.

 

[cefarix]

number 3 is false, because if it were true, then either one or two would also be true, but 3 being true would say that one and two are false, so it would be a contradiction
the only way to resolve the paradox is to say number 3 is the false one and numbers 1 and 2 are correct

edit: arr u beat me to it too

 

[honestrosewater]

what if all r true?

Then you have a very strange family.

 

[gurkhawarhorse]

ok i admit i am the plural of penis. its my grandad.

 

[arildno]

ok i admit i am the plural of penis. its my grandad.

No person can be the plural of penis, gurkh.
You may, of course, brag about your racing steed or your cucumber warhorse if you like. But do not try to oust the penes from this world, just because you want to become a plural.

 

[El Hombre Invisible]

1. The middle finger of my right hand is bent towards the right (if the hand is viewed palm-down from above) due to exerting too much force on it playing guitar with a plectrum for 15 years (on and off, not non-stop).
2. My left knee is one and a half inches higher than my right knee.
3. I have only one interesting thing I can say about myself.

 

[arildno]

Since neither 1 or 2 are interesting things about yourself, I can't deduce anything from 3...

 

[honestrosewater]

My favorite plant (widest sense) is the willow.

I still have my appendix.

I once wrote a story about a man named 'Lady'.

 

[arildno]

My favorite plant (widest sense) is the willow.

Nope, your favourite plant (widest sense) is a sturdy, knobby oak.

 

[honestrosewater]

2. My left knee is one and a half inches higher than my right knee.

lie......

 

[honestrosewater]

The willow is my favorite, and I am appendixless.

Where did everyone go? If you guys leave, I'll have no excuse not to get my work done.
