Hello.

If you are unfamiliar, two truths and a lie is a common icebreaker type game. Participants state two true things about themselves and one lie in random order. Others in the group try to sniff out the lie.

In the POG version, people will post two truths and a lie in this thread. I'll leave it up for a few days, depending on participation. PM me the lie.

I will close this thread for new posts and then compile everything. Players can vote on what they think the lie is for each person. One point for every lie you correctly sniff out / lockbox. Your own will be in there, so I guess everyone gets a free point.

Discussion is allowed in this thread for leveling / lol purposes.

It's pretty much going to be a dumb guessing game, but hopefully, it's a bit of fun along the way.

I'll post my own next to get the ball rolling.

I call this "minor celebrities in minor places." No need for a theme, though.

1. I saw Ted Nugent in a gas station in Chamberlain, South Dakota.
2. I saw Lionel Richie in the airport in Reno, Nevada.
3. I saw Kato Kaelin in a bar in Castle Rock, Colorado.

1. I opened 72 bottles of beer in a row on my 18th birthday with my teeth
2. I won a "Handsome Man" competition on stage in a bar in Tenerife when I was 23
3. I lost my left testicle in a freak tenting accident in Toronto when I was 19

Do we post our guesses itt or by PM to you?

1. I have seen Eminem live in Scotland.
2. I have a fear of level crossings.
3. I hit a century and took 8 wickets in my very first cricket match when I was 14.

lol I must be pretty uninteresting, took me ages to think of 2 true things

The idea is to wait until we have 10-20 after a few days, then guess all at once in a single PM. I'll compile them.

1. I have chatted, in person, with Lanny McDonald.
2. I have chatted, in person, with Prince Charles.
3. I have chatted, in person, with John Conway.

Can I google these names?

I should think so, otherwise people can go obscure to reduce it to a pure guess.

Lanny: former pro hockey player - Canadian
Charles: come on, dude
Conway: famous mathematician

Can anyone post one?

Yep

I think research is ok, short of digging through old posts.

1. I have seen Taylor Swift live in concert.
2. I have seen New Kids on the Block live in concert.
3. I have seen Aerosmith live in concert.

Next round, especially for those of us of a certain age, we can play "which surgical procedure?"

Concert route seems easy enough...

1. I have seen Jennifer Lopez live in concert.
2. I have seen Vanilla Ice live in concert.
3. I have seen Paul McCartney live in concert.

Don't forget to PM me your lie.

How many sixes?

None, few fours though!

What is it about level crossings that you fear?

How long was your chat with Charles?

Crossing them and getting hit by a train, what if the lever is faulty!? Every time I have to walk/drive over one I always hold my breath and freeze up until i'm over it

1. The Northern-most community I have been in is Resolute Bay (74.70N 94.83W)
2. I have never shot under par for 18 holes in golf .
3. I played rugby for my High School and University teams.

1. I have won a poker tournament.

2. I have been skydiving.

3. I have 21 first cousins.

I'm unsure if we're supposed to drill people on their truths like the TV show Would I Lie To You or not

Fine with me
