Complaint Department discussion

I'm going to turn my turn over to Marcie

Damn! And I thought everyone acted in a school play :-))

Damn, I thought everybody was a virgin until they got married. Isn't that why we've pushing for gay marriage so hard?

Well thank ya, kit!

1. I go horseback riding at least twice a month.
2. Born and raised in California and I don't know how to swim.
3. I have donated 16+ inches of my hair to Locks of love all 4 times. And I'm currently growing it out for my 5th donation.

3) Sounds too good to be true, so it must be true!
2) Is surely impossible, I mean… Baywatch?
1) I know all Californian-borns ride bareback ;-)

I'll go with 2) as the untruth.

I agree with Roger, but just so more base is covered, I'd pick 1

Number two could be true if you lived in St. Nacho's. So I pick #2.

@ roger: hmmm. i'm just a little curious. so when you say, "I know all Californian-borns ride bareback." pray tell. inquiring minds... ;-P

3) i've always had long hair. so i decided to grow it out even longer and cut it as short as i ever have to donate as much as possible. so this is true.

2) sadly this is true as well. i do not know how to swim :(

1) i have gone horseback riding. but it's more like twice a year.

pres, thank you for the title drop. i checked it out and added it. :)

kit, it's your turn again!

Sweet!

1. I'm going to be running a business this summer
2. I've been to Italy
3. I've been to Paris

i shall pick numero uno

Is 3 Paris, France or Paris, Texas?

I'm picking 2) on the grounds that if you say Paris as a place in France, you're likely, surely, to pick a town/city in Italy?

It's Paris,France. I'm a little confused about your choice for two, simply because you said that if I went to Paris, France, surely I'd go to Italy...wouldn't that mean the best answer to pick is 1?

Now I'm confused… (bin a tough day :-))

Awww, have a hug?

And umm just pick one I guess?

*hug-hug* ’kay then… 1)

number two is the lie, but since you originally picked that I'm turning my next turn to you.

Oh gosh… I'll put my thinking cap on and get back shortly… !

1) My school said I would not pass a single "O" Level exam at 15 and I passed 9

2) I learned to swim at 8 when my father hurled me in the deep end of the swimming pool

3) Cold milk gave me asthma as a child.

I pick 2

On vacation in Bali some years ago I watched an Italian dad throw his baby in the deep end. The baby couldn't yet walk, but it swam like a fish. The screams were of delight as the poor thing flew through the air to go ker-splash into the water.

2) is the lie. My dad would never have been so cruel. He taught me to swim very patiently. So that makes it your go again Absinthe!

woot woot!
1. I was a valedictorian in high school
2. I'm not allergic to anything
3. I've taken steroids before

I choose #1.

:(

kit, i say #2

Marcie's right :D

and for clarification I was prescribed the steroids when I had pneumonia so bad it almost killed me

Looks like us ladies are playing tag team :) got to get it with it boys ;-)

1) combining all my aunts and uncles (from both parents) I have a total of 17.

2) while using the restroom I sat there for several minutes trying to unwrap/take off (what seem like a whole roll) scotch tape from the toilet paper.

3) I spent the first half of both pregnancies throwing up.

#3 you can't continuously throw up 24 hours a day or even 12 hours a day for one day and certainly not for months, so you physically could not have spent half of a pregnancy throwing up and still be alive after the first day.

It may have felt to you like it was half of your pregnancy, but that is most certainly a huge exaggeration.

i choose number 1

1) i do have that many relatives. thank god the majority are over in Mexico. just kidding...maybe :)

2) i was lmao! not only did my daughter tape around the toilet paper (over & over), since my fridge is the side-by-side doors she taped the very top and bottom of the handles together. i'm actually very proud of her *sniff* i think my job as a parent is done :)

3) i only threw-up when prego w/my daughter. it wasn't an every day thing, but a couple times a month.

looks like it's your turn, brother!

1. I have a hexagonal table with wood inlay for playing chess/checkers made by an ancestor who was a cabinet maker.

2. My favorite piece of music is Shostakovich First Symphony.

3. I'm very messy with clothes thrown all over the place.

three

i'll go with 2

Waiting on Roger who will no doubt be dropping in any moment between now and someday. By the way Roger Kean's final book in the Empire Series Harry's Great Trek was just put on Amazon in book and Kindle versions and on Smashwords for all other formats for e-readers and iPads.

Difficult one, but I'm going with 2) as a lie…

And Harry's trek has been mine for almost two years, phew…

1. is the lie. The table is octagonal not hexagonal.

2. I have a wide variety of tastes in music of many cultures but my favorite pieces of music are Dimitri Shostakovich's symphonies numbers 1, 5 and 10 respectively. I am also a huge fan of his magnificent 24 Preludes and Fugues Opus 87 as played by Tatiana Nikolayeva.

3. I don't fit the gay stereotype of a neat freak. I'm a slob. (Either that or perhaps they are strewn about as they are frequently in M/M romance stories leading from the front doorway to the bedroom but that happens only in books right?)

@Roger: Would you please take my turn for me while I pick up some of these clothes that are scattered about.

Octagonal not hexagonal, blimey O'Reilly, what's a few sides between friends? :-)

1) In the later 1970s I had red and green-dyed punk hair

2) In the later 1970s I taught Sudanese students

3) In the later 1970s I almost died of combined hepatitis & glandular fever

@Roger: You knew about the table. I had to make you get it wrong. But I gave you my turn to make up for it. Doesn't that count for something?

Number 1 is not only lying through your teeth (odd phrase) it's funny!

number 2

@ Preston: Teehee. I think you know me too well. It was dayglo blue and orange, and I had a razorblade nose piercing as well.

Okay 1) was a lie.

Sorry Absinthe, I taught Sudanese students one afternoon a week television film editing the the British Council on Russell Square for a couple of years. That was still in the era when film was used and cut up and taped together on film editing tables and at a time when video tape editing was useless.

3) is the truth, it was touch and go for a week though blissfully I didn't know just how close.

I give my turn to Kit.

Thanks Preston :)

1. I'm an only child
2. I went to a fundamentalist christian school until I was 13
3. I'm a christian

2.

3.

Oh wait I change my answer to three because you previously said you were not a Christian, I think.

Isn't that cheating? :-)

No, you win if 3 is the right one because you chose it first.

Ah…

yeah Roger wins

My trouble is I don't have a "poker face" which makes me a really bad liar.

1) Famous Polish film director Andrzej Wajda once patted me on the back.

2) Famous British James Bond film director Guy Hamilton (The Colditz Story, 1955) once patted me on the back.

3) Famous British film director Lindsay Anderson (If, 1968) once patted me on the back.

number 1
