kimba, I think #2 is the lie.

Nopers. That cookie monster cake was basically the coolest thing an 8 year old could possibly win. Your name gets entered at the grocery store where they give you a free cookie at the bakery section and they have a drawing once a month for an awesome cake.

I hope #1 is true, so I'll say 3 is the lie.

Yep, aelle! I never won Egyptian cotton sheets, I had to pay for them. I got a good discount at least. I won a free trip to Spain my senior year of high school. There were two kids from each state. It was based on community service and a scrapbook of an imaginary trip to Spain.

Your turn!

1. I have stigmata on my foot from putting a big nail through it
2. I have never dated another French person
3. I used to really like foie gras

I think

That one is true! I had a one night stand with one French guy, but all the people I dated were of a different nationality (chronologically, Portuguese guy met in France, Russian guy met in the US, Iranian guy met in Malaysia and Dutch guy met in Japan).

I want to keep guessing but that kinda ruins the game. Someone else go!

#1 seems to specific to be a lie and I think I remember you posting about stigmata and being all like "Ew gross how cool"

So I'm saying #3 is a lie. Even though I freaking loved foie gras.

Correct! I have eaten foie gras, but I found it gross / uninteresting. On top of not eating cheese and not knowing anything about wine, it's almost a handicap; French people (and particularly French expats) link their identity so strongly to food, and I don't care for any of it.

The nail accident happened during middle school gym! They took us running in some park by the highway that was regularly vandalized, and I stepped on a board with a huge nail sticking out.

OUCH!!!!

#1 I slept on a beach that was covered with poisonous frogs
#2 I spearfished my own lobster
#3 I have gone diving with sharks

I think #2 is not true. I don't have the coordination skills to do that.

I think #3 is the lie.

I'm guessing 1, because it seems like the one you'd be least likely to have survived to tell about.

I like hearing everyone's processes of elimination.

#2 is the lie!

The poison frogs were on this amazing beach in Panama, that ended up being developed, probably devastating the poison frogs. They were gorgeous - bright red with black spots and about the size of a dime - they covered everything in the morning, and we had to basically not get up from our spot during the night until it got dry and they disappeared back into the jungle. They were selling for $100 a piece to Japanese collectors at the time. I loved Panama so much.

And I've gone diving with sharks a few times - lemon sharks in Kenya and free diving to see nurse sharks in the Pearl Islands in Honduras. A friend of mine was in Kenya and ended up under a huge great white that she didn't see because it was right over her. Everyone else in their dive party pissed themselves.

I'd never spearfish lobster. Even pregan when I ate them. I went diving in Jamaica once and we saw this beautiful cave full of lobster. Then we came back a few days and there was nothing left. Our dive masters in Jamaica were the worst. They treated the reef like a buffet - they'd break coral and take up conches for soup. I complained but it wasn't taken seriously.

aelle go again! <3 You totally busted me!

I don't know! I thought we were making it up as we went along. :)

Yeah, I'm really sorry. That question was totally invasive.

Oh, no worries, I'm not easily offended. That "truth" was probably TMI now that I think about it, but oh well.

Yay!

1. I worked on the Fukushima nuclear plant refurbishing
2. I contributed to the European space program
3. I did research on plasma engines for satellites at Stanford.

Hmmm, I think #3 is the lie because I don't think you've lived in California.

I'm going to guess #2 because that was Wally :)

Tofulish is right again, the lie is #2 (although I'd love to!)
