Time will tell, I suppose.

sorry gang been cleaning out the arse.

1) Don't Stop Believing by Journey is in fact my number one favorite song.

2)Feeling Good by Nina Simone is in fact my number two favorite song.

3) Is the lie. In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry is actually my number four favorite song while it is Rolling In the Deep by Adele and Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's in a solid tie for my number three favorite song.

Roger, under the circumstances your hopes were wrong, please don't hate me, just remember I'm only 22 and I actually listen to that music and it is on my list. However, you were right it as the lie.

Absinthe, you were right as well so you two can fight for it. haha

I bow to Absinthe, take it away Kit, your lies are so much more interesting than mine :)

Jacob, I won't hate you because I admire anyone with true favorites. I'm hopelessly muddled in what I like. Some idiot on a spam phone call I was stupid enough not instantly end because it was a "questionnaire" (hah!) concluded by asking what is my favorite color. I told her "I'm an artist so I don't have a favorite color." She said that's not possible, everyone has a favorite color. I put the phone down.

@ Preston/moderator: Should I have posted this under the main Complaint section?

lol thanks Roger...hmm I am a slytherin for a reason I suppose

1. I bought books today
2. I picked up books from the library today
3. I went out to eat today

I'm gonna say that you didn't buy books today, so #1 is the lie.

@Roger re #853 - doesn't favorite color change with moods like a mood ring? I mean, my favorite color is purple, except when it's black or TARDIS blue or green or...

Rick, you're right, I didn't buy books, but I did have a nice haul from the library!

@roger: i hear ya. well, i'm not an artist...but i don't have a favorite color either.

It's Rick's Turn !

Sooooooooo, find the lie is it?

1) I once met River Phoenix, actor & musician, in a bookstore.

2) I once met Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, in a restaurant (no it wasn't a KFC).

3) I once met Clyde Tombaugh, discoverer of Pluto (it's not a planet), in a planetarium.

3)… and if Pluto's not a planet, what's it doing in a planetarium I'd like to know. Besides, wasn't Walt Disney the discoverer of Pluto?

1) Because Ohio is close enough to Kentucky to make 2) plausible.

2

Well, that's a vote for each. Sorry Roger, I did meet Clyde Tombaugh in the BGSU Planetarium. Nice guy. He also discovered other stuff as well, but Pluto is his, pardon the pun, biggest claim to fame.

Sorry Absinthe, I did meet the Colonel when I was about 4 or 5 in some restaurant in Florida (not Kentucky). I have only a fuzzy memory of it. I told him that I liked his chicken, or something equally as silly.

Averin wins! Alas, I never meet River Phoenix. I thought about adding that it was in Gainsville, Florida but that seemed to be going a little too far with it.

My music collection includes:

1) Diana Ross's Swept Away

2) The Scissor Sisters' Ta-Dah

3) Malcolm McClaren & the Bootzilla Orchestra's Waltz Darling

1.

2

3.

Kit is correct. While I purchased both 1 and 3 for the same reason (the appearance of the world's greatest guitarist, Jeff Beck, only Waltz Darling remains enduring enjoyment. Plus it has a sound bite from https://youtu.be/2EncFXHS20c, one of the creates documentaries, ever.

1. Bedrooms & Hallways is my favorite feel good movie
2. Coffee is my favorite feel good drink
3. The Notebook is my favorite feel good book

#3 has got to be a bold faced lie. I might have to unfriend you if it isn't.

(just kidding, I would never unfriend someone for something like that, but I might just have to ridicule you lovingly)

numero uno

Roger, (view spoiler)[I understand entirely. I chose Turquoise as my favorite colour for the fact being I am colour blind, but as an artist I have no true favorite colour. Each has it's own uniqueness and it's own special quality that makes it perfect to its own self. How can anyone love a single colour more than another when so many hold so many different meanings that makes it is impossible how one can love a single colour. A Person can show with a single shade of deep/true red and mean rage, frustration, anger, desire, passion, love, hate and the list love just one of something when so many make you feel different emotions. Colours are the mainstream of our emotional grasps. Again coming forma guy who is colour blind I find you people with a single favorite to be bland...jk everyone has an opinion haha. (hide spoiler)]

Oh I vote two

@ Jacob (view spoiler)[Thank you, I guess great minds think alike! (hide spoiler)]

3)

Rick you are the winner, I hate The Notebook its all blech

1. Everyone watch this movie right the fuck now, its amazing and besides hugo weaving is in it and this one attractive irish guy

2. Duh, I love coffee. I buy so much coffee starbucks is like, so I heard you like coffee, let me get you some free coffee to go with your coffee

Roger, They do! ^_^

Winner? Winner! Where's my chicken dinner?

I just finished watching one of favorite horror films again, one I haven't watched I quite some time. So I'm thinking scarey movies. So, my favorite horror movie is Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), it's also in my top five favorite movies of all time (notice I said favorite not best or greatest). In the coveted number 1 spot for my favorites is Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).

So rounding out these top five are: Whole New Thing (Buchbinder, 2005); Time After Time (Meyer, 1979) and Brokeback Mountain (Lee, 2005). Except I'm lying about one of these 3 films. Can you guess which one?

number one

2

3 I personally liked the movie, but it felt tiresome in my opinion it would have been more moving with more happening in it. The overall conflict was good, but by far it was one of my top least favorite movies of all time. As it was not half as compelling as it could have been.

Sorry Marcie Whole New Thing (Buchbinder, 2005) is a wonderful low-budget Canadian film that rips the tears out of face every time I watch it. (view spoiler)[It's about a home-schooled 13-year-old who has written his own novel but has problems with his maths, so he's sent to public school to 'catch up' with his peers. Of course, hi-jinks ensue as he gets bullied because he just doesn't quite fit in. Then he gets a huge crush on his English teacher, who seems available because he's separated from his lover. And more hi-jinks ensue. It all ok in the because ... Well... Every kid is a whole new thing. (hide spoiler)]

Sorry Absinthe, Time After Time (Meyer, 1979) Is my all time favorite movie about time travel. (view spoiler)[It's about Herbert George Wells, journalist, author and scientist, who actually builds a working time machine, but is afraid to use it. That is u til a friend of his, who turns out to be Jack the Ripper, uses it to travel nearly a century into the future, 1978. Now H. G. Wells has to track down Jack the Ripper in what he thinks will be utopia (hide spoiler)].
The lie is then: Brokeback Mountain (Lee, 2005). I agree with a lot of what Jacob said. I do really like this movie, but it has a weird kind of texture that puts me off just a bit. Part of it is intentional, the emotional turmoil of the characters is very genuine, but that kind of revultion and self-loathing doesn't belong in a romance. But it is completely true to the time period and the culture of those parts of the US. In a way it's like watching the TV show Freaks and Geeks, it's well made and completely true to the period, but when you have lived through it, it's not so entertaining to watch it for enjoyment.

So Jacob wins! Brokeback Mountain is a wonderful movie, just a little painful, a little too real, at times for me watch.

daing it! and i did pick #3, but i changed it. *pouting*

Don't pout. Watch Psycho (Hitchcock, 1960). This is the other movie that is in my top five favorite movies of all time. I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about Norman Bates and Anthony Perkins was PERFECT in the role. While I love Gus Van Sant's movies, his remake of Psycho was terribly flawed with the casting ot Vince Vaughn in the role. On the other hand, Freddie Highmore is doing a wonderful job reinventing the role (while seemingly channeling Anthony Perkins) in the TV show Bates Motel (and don't even get me started on Vera Farminga! I never expected Norma Bates to be such a compelling, interesting and frightening character).

rick, i don't think that movie would cheer me up. it would more than likely scare the *beep* out of me... ok. in one condition: only if you are there sitting next to me on the couch...and have kettle popcorn

Sure, but you can have the kettle popcorn (too sweet for me), I want regular popcorn with a hint of butter and just pinch of salt.
One of my criteria for 'favorite' status is that it's a movie I can sit down and watch anytime. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Alien, Time After Time, Whole New Thing and Psycho are easy for me pick out. But there are others that only just miss out of this list (in no particular order):

Strangers on a Train (1951)
North by Northwest (1959)
The 39 Steps (1935)

And probably others I'm forgetting to mention. Have fun with the list of Rickommendations ;)

1) My fav. coffee creamer is Hazelnut.
2) When I tan outside I lighten my hair using lemon slices.
3) My fav. movie growing up was Warriors of Virtue.

2 its lime slices

Kit, lime slices would make it lemon-lime slices. Good idea!

I choose # 1

Preston you are correct!!! My fav is in fact Hazelnut mixed with French Vanilla & Caramel Swirl.

Kit, I know you as Absinthe, hope it doesn't offend you I say Kit, if so tell me to switch it back. I do use lemon juice. It can work with limes as well given that both hold citric acid which can be activated as a natural lightener for hair in sunlight. No more than two hours and a lot of patience. Lemon and Apple Cider also work. Using apple cider however it is wise to only slightly dilute it with water. It takes me about three to four weeks to get any real results given I have very thick hair and very strong colour follicles. Also, different results occur for different people some have had better luck with a ix of lemon, lime, and honey or just lemon and honey which is also good in tea if you have a sore throat. I use the limes msotly to clean my teeth. It may eat at tooth enamel but I have yet to find any other toothpaste apart form my own creation that won't hurt my sensitive teeth...this includes toothpaste made specifically for that.

Warrior's of Virtue was indeed my fav movie growing up. I would go to the video store and rent it every time my family went to get movies.

I couldn't stand the mess so I cleaned out my:

1. Garage
2. Attic
3. Basement

garage

@rick: that's right your sweet tooth shrank. well, as far as shrinkage goes that's not a bad one to lose *wink* i mean, there could be worst things, right? ;-P but lucky for you i also like hot and spicy. you have a very eclectic taste in movies, huh? a little bit of everything. that's good. but i must admit. i've only seen of few of those. don't get many opportunities to watch tv. it i do it's mainly sports highlights or a sporting event.


attic

basement i suppose

1) ;-)

Alas all the options are taken, I've been shit out. Still I would have voted for #1 but #3 would have been my 2nd choice.

I mean who cleans out an attic? I've never even been up in my attic. The house was built in the 1890s during the oil boom in the Great Black Swamp, so who knows what's up there. Nothing of mine, fo sure.

Wait! I'll bet Preston cleaned out his attic! Shocking!

As Roger knows from seeing photos the garage was completely cleared out and a new cement floor was poured. Only those few things I really use were placed back in the garage while I had it painted and a new roof put on.

Jacob had #1 so it's Jason's turn! WHOOOPS TYPO Jacob Wins !

Hey, Jacob won in the last round in both games: Find the Truth & Find the Lie. Way to go Jacob!
