Complaint Department discussion

3 is the lie, take it Marcie!

My daughter had one of her BFF's sleepover during the weekend. They...

1) had a snail race.

2) caught lizards.

3) climbed trees.

I'm just going to make a guess that #2 is the lie. No particular reason.

3, obviously :)

I heard them screaming on the side of the house. So I went to look to see what the commotion was. They had snail lined up on the floor and screaming their encouragements. I lmao! But not so much when they walked in with lizards in one of my Tupperware containers :/

Daing Rog, you iz on a roll. Go for it, dude!

I'm in such an honest mood today I don't think I can lie… but I'll try.

1) Tomorrow I must drive to Hereford

2) Tomorrow I must drive the Shrewsbury

3) Tomorrow I will have a McDonald's "Big Tasty" for lunch

Well done, Rick! You guessed right.

I'm not going to Hereford. I'm going to Shrewsbury (Oliver driving) with my mother who is having a CT scan, which she wanted at Hereford cos it's much nearer, but her doctor in his wisdom sent her to Shrewsbury. That means we'll be having lunch at Shrewsbury's Meole Brace mall, at the McDonald's there.

Incidentally, Shrewsbury Town Football Club has its new stadium just behind the complex, having moved there from their long-standing stadium at the Gay Meadow.

When I was a toddler:

1) I pushed my own stroller everywhere, I couldn't sit in the thing I had to keep moving.

2) I used to carry a box of Fruit Loops with me everywhere I went.

3) I had stuffed Tiger, named Hadji, that went with me everywhere I did.

Well, it has, by deduction, to be #3 (though I have a horrible feeling that could be a truth :)

Roger you're right, except it's not "a truth." As a toddler I did carry around a box of Fruit Loops everywhere I went and I hated sitting still in my stroller so I was always climbing out of it and pushing it around. I even got so ornery about it I pushed it out of a store (astonishingly employing the assistance of some man who helped me open the door) and down the street before my mother realized I was not by her side. Luckily she caught up with me somewhere down the block. I don't remember any of this, but I've heard the story of the Fruit Loops and the story of the stroller so many times over the year I fell like I do recall them both. ;)
Alas I had no stuffed Tiger named Hadji. Maybe I need to go get one to sit beside my stuffed monkey, Abu. ;)

It's your turn Roger. Lie to us. ;)

A lie, a lie… my kingdom for a lie…

In my time I have played on stage…

1) Portia (Merchant of Venice)

2) Julius Caesar (Julius Caesar)

3) The White Rabbit (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)

Uncanny, Rick, you are correct that I never played Julius Caesar (I was Brutus), But I was a wonderful Portia and a cute White Rabbit…

Shakespeare... Hmmm

1) I've long had the notion of adapting Shakespeare's plays and setting them in the US wild west during the late 19th century.

2) I've always wanted to continue the process of translating Shakespeare's plays into Klingon like The Klingon Hamlet.

3) I've always thought it would be fun to adapt Shakespeare's plays and set them on Mars in the distant future after the planet has been colonized.

What an adorable white rabbit you made. ;)

Lol, I agree :DD

So, I'll go with #2

3 is it bad that when you say white rabbit the first thing that comes to mind is that yaoi Sensitive P?

O.o
I'd forgotten all about that rabbit. Now I've got to dig out that DVD. Hrm, where are those Japanimation DVDs?

You got it. That's the lie. I don't known Klingon well enough to even attempt a translation. ;)

Okay, so I'll continue with the theme...

1. I played some kind of a vegetable in kindergarten.
2. I wanted to play Juliet but they chose someone shorter.
3. I didn't want to play Athena but was forced to do it.

I did play some kind of a vegetable in kindergarten, don't remember what exactly, and I'm sure it was green, but generally I hated playing and never voluntarily participated in it. I was chosen to play Athena because of my tomboy look. And only because of that. No one asked if I wanted to do it or not. I had a minor role but I hated every second on the stage. And then I was extremely pissed when I saw Immortals and there was this little blonde playing Athena :/

Your turn Absinthe ;)

That was such an offensive movie. It was as racist a film as 300 (Snyder, 2007) was homophobic (which was compounded by the fact that it was simultaneously enormously homo-erotic). Just count this as my complaint for the day. ;)

1. My hair has always been shoulder length or shorter
2. I once had hair down to my knees
3. I once dyed my hair black

damn, Rick was faster... ;)

but you're right-er (lol)

Absinthe wrote: "but you're right-er (lol)"

Drat! I KNEW I should have picked #1 :(

But... but that would mean you had hair to your knees... Damn, I need a pic to believe it! ;D

While driving:
1. I try to obey the speed limits
2. I often drive faster than it's allowed
3. I usually drive below the limits

All three could be, and probably are, true.

I'll go with #2

#1 the operative word here is "try", which implies failure… and means Rick is right :-)

3

Well, gentlemen, you're both unfortunately wrong and the lady is right 'cause #3 is a lie.
I try to obey the speed limits but usually drive faster, and I hardly ever drive below the limits.

Your turn Marcie :)

Well… booh to that! :)

10 days have passed and Kit is too busy eating toasted pastry so she forfeits this turn. Yummy. Better to eat treats than to play games so lucky Kit :)

I hereby declare that it's Roger's turn because there's no Thanksgiving in England so he might have nothing to do tomorrow without the task of having to catch a turkey then go stuff it.

Ummm, shouldn't this be in the other, find the truth, topic?

I can't lie on Thanksgiving Day
But when Mod commands, I obey.

1) My favorite ice cream flavor is pistachio

2) My second favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla

3) My third favorite ice cream flavor is fish ’n’ chips

#3 sounds as appealing as the experiment in the 80s of broccoli ice cream. While I like ice cream & broccoli the mixture makes me think of chocolate & peanut butter which is another combination everyone seems to like that I can't stand.
