Complaint Department discussion

2.

Actually, 2) is the truth. The damned thing lived under a mangrove bush for a few weeks and made launching the speedboat into Five Cowrie Creek (Lagos) a misery. Eventually, some boys (Nigerian sand haulers) trapped it and turned it into a feast.

For a week? For a week? "2) A crocodile lived at the bottom of the garden…" Lived certainly is a gross exaggeration. A croc visited your garden, not lived there. I was a guest. Lousy way to treat a guest though—eating him.

I call on the moderator to moderate this because it's one lie, one truth and one deceptive half-truth.

1. I went to Harvard.
2. I lived in San Francisco.
3. I ate polenta.

Answer: 3 is the lie.
1 and 2 are true just likeRoger's alligator:
I went to Harvard to look around the bookstore.
I lived in a hotel in San Francisco overnight.


The moderator rules Preston is out of order and Roger is very brave for living with an alligator.

We are still playing Roger's turn in Message 102.

you guys iz silly ;)

yo digo que es el #3. number #3

hoo uz? zilly? naw!

So Marcie you tink Rog dint win cookie contest at age sexteen. Hmm.

I dunno culd be dat stripper book. he is an exhibitionist cuz he allus wears da shortie pants.

I'm going with three

@ pres: Jess joo

Si. Me no stinks señor Rog winny a cookie contez ah sexteen. He wuz tu beezy estrippin da shorty pantz. Cookie no phun. Estrippin si phun.

OK okay… I sit before my computer wearing those shortie pants.

1) is true. My second unpublished novel was titled The Day I Stripped Off in Leicester Square
2) Amazingly, this is also true. That croc was a damned nuisance. Okay, it was only a couple of feet long, but half of that was teeth.
3) Is the lie, because I do love cooking, but I never won anything for it, not even praise (sob, sob).

I think that makes it Marcie's turn…?

Oh rats! I knew that too. You told me about that title The Day I Stripped Off in Leicester Square. I just forgot.

Okay sis lie to us.

Go, Marcie…!

ok. here goes.

oh, btw, roger, if you cook for me i'll shower you w/praises- [well, unless you serve a green salad. not a salad kind of a girl. unless it has potato or macaroni infront of it ;)] and i'll even wash the dishes after.

1) i put ketchup in my tacos.
2) i've gotten in a fist fight.
3) i once put thumbtacks/push pins on my dads chair w/the intention of him sitting on them.

#1 is the lie.

If you're snarky enough to put thumbtacks of a chair for someone to sit on them, I'm sure you're the same person to get in a fist fight :-))

I have to go with Preston… 1) is a downright dirty lie (I hope).

I'm guessing since you both answered correctly I confess my lie (if not I'm sorry). But yes, you are both correct.

1) Is the lie. Tamales is the only Mexican food I put ketchup on :)
2) I did get in a fist fight during high school.
3) I did put push pins on my dad's chair when I was younger. in the hopes that he would jump really high like in the cartoons. Sadly I inform that that didn't happen :/ there was just a couple of bad words that flew out if his mouth :)

Being that Preston was the first one to answer correctly it will be his turn.

(I remembered the universal horror at hearing about ketchup on tamales ;-))

heehee yeah, that kinda threw everyone into a "what the-" that I couldn't help but throwing back in there again. Besides you know what they say: don't knock it till you try it. ;-)

lol (never even tried a tamale, whatever it is…)

Roger, están para chuparse los dedos! Mexicanism. Just go w/it :)
*waggling eyebrows* if you cook for me I'll cook for you ;-) it's my 1am and I'm on my phone. But next time I'm on the comp I'll try to see if I can find a pic for ya to go w/my description. Good night, Rog- or I mean morning :) enjoy the rest of your day.

<- waves, bye bye, Marcie ->

1. I have all of Roger Kean's novel in paperback or ebook form except the driving instruction book.
2. There were four 75 to 100 foot pine trees in my back yard but two of them fell down.
3. There are two M/M Romance novels dedicated to my dog.

#2 is the lie.

number three

number three :-)

*Huff! [Roger goes off in a high dudgeon, whatever one of those is, perhaps it's an autocorrect for dungeon, the sort of place people are put who do not have ALL my novels].

Go on, Absinthe, tells us a lie :-))

Kit?

Oops I accidentally deleted my answer so this is out of order coming after Roger cursed me with a dudgeon.

Number One is the lie. I don't have Winning His Spurs. Sorry Roger. I do have all your novels with gay main characters. I even have most of your non-fiction including Forgotten power: Byzantium: Bulwark of Christianity.

I turn over my turn to Absinthe.

Aww Preston, that's very sweet of you!

1. I have moved over 10 times in my life
2. I am majoring in biomed
3. One of my favorite books is The Lies of Locke Lamora

3. is true or else her five star rating of the book is fake.
2. From her reading the number of books on death makes it quite plain she is planning a career in Mortuary Science.
1. Is the lie!!!

am i supposed to confirm or deny this right now?

Well I'm going to, sorry Preston number one is not the lie.

I say #3

Sorry Marcie, number three is also not the lie.

1. I have moved 11 times in my life
2. is the lie. I'm a psychology and computer engineering major
3. The Lies of Locke Lamora is absolutely incredible and I'm both ecstatic but also cringing at the idea of them making it a movie (also I don't want to share it with all those not book lovers out there. Eww)

so who goes next?

Absinthe wrote: "...so who goes next?"

Kit goes again.

Alright

1.when I first got my kitten he had pneumonia
2. I can taste words
3. I am heterosexual

Statistically speaking 3) has more often been the lie…? SO 3)

From the books she reads I believe Kit is a gay man (e.g., Kirith Kirin) so I choose #3 also.

What I am not a gay man, I'm a pansexual female, but lol yes three is the lie, that makes it Roger's turn

Well I'm a gay man then. I knew it was one of us.

Roger has had a boyfriend since the 1970's so I'm suspicious he might possibly be gay too. Conceivably his boyfriend, Zack, could peradventure be a gay man also.

Since Roger is sleeping I'll do his 2 truths and 1 lie.

1. Roger's was born in Nigeria to English parents.
2. Roger published a magazine called Fear featuring horror.
3. Roger was raided for publishing pornography.

Now that's an interesting one… modesty forbids me to answer.

i say #1

Marcie is right! #1 is the lie. Roger was born in Solihull, Birmingham, UK

Note the pornography thing was under old laws and mores and wouldn't be deemed pornographic today. But back in the bad old days, just having gay images was enough to bring the law down on you.

It's Marcie's turn :-)

gracias, pres! ok....

1) once fell through the ceiling, but luckyly on my way down i somehow manage to grab ahold of the beam.
2) dropped out of high school 1/2 through my senior year. but went to adult school and got my ged.
3) i end up in the cardiology department at least twice a year.

number two is the lie

#1

1) kids being kids :) My cousin and I ended up climbing onto the roof and got in through a crawl space kind of a thing and next thing you know I was dangling from a beam while he rushed to call my uncle.
3) I do end up at the Cardiology Department at least twice a year when I take my daughter to see her Cardiologist. (Did I just pull a Roger w/this one? ;-) )
2) I did not drop out of high school.

# 2 was the lie. Señorita Kit, it is your turn. :)

:D yay! Sorry for my late reply

1. I've acted in two plays
2. I was once so sick I almost died
3. I lost my virginity when I was 14

3.

If 3) is true, do you know where you lost it and was it handed in to the Lost Property Office?

I think 2) has happened to everyone at some point in time, and I've acted in more than 2 school plays, so…

well, it does leave 3) as the lie, doesn't it.

Actually two is the lie
