I guess #2!

#3

Kimba's got it right! I used to work in a jewelry/craft store in Pike Place Market in the early 90s in Seattle, and occasionally you'd bump into folks from the grunge scene there. Chris Cornell came into the store and I did sell him a pair of earrings, but one of my hipper colleagues had to tell me who it was because I didn't recognize him. Also in Pike Place, I was running off to get some lunch and almost crashed into this really really really tall guy coming out of a store, and I looked up and it was Krist Novoselic (who I did recognize). Never ran into Eddie Vedder, sadly.



I do indeed, but I haven't always worked in a bookshop. (That was kind of a trick question 'cause I figured someone might remember the bookstore connection.)

Okay.

1. A cute little bunny gave me a bloody nose
2. A cute little mouse jumped into my dad's mouth
3. A cute little squirrel bit my sister's toe

#2 is giving me nightmares. Please tell me suicidal mice are a lie!

My ex was eating a bag of Oreos once and touched a mouse that had taken up residence in it. The mouse bolted past his hand and off his lap. It turned him off Oreos for about a month. Blergh - I am still horrified by it.

Oh, that does sound awful.

How to avoid a mouse jumping in your mouth: Do not take your daughter's pet mouse, hold it by your mouth, saying over and over "I'm going to eat it!" in order to tease her. It might jump into your mouth. You might have to pull it out by the tail. It will survive. Not a lie.

Oh no! Then #3 is a lie? Can I guess again?

Sure, why not! #3 is the lie! At least as far as I know, no turtle has even bitten my sister on any appendage.

ETA: Oops, I meant squirrel. I was also flirting with turtle as a possible lie.

1. I once made a bagel sandwich for William Baldwin.
2. I am related to Trotsky and Stephen Foster.
3. My mother used to live on the same block in NY where Christina Aguilera grew up.

Well then I guess I'll go with #1!

I'm embarrassed to say the number of times I've checked to see whether this thread had been updated.

Are you embarrassed because the number of times is so high...or because you've kept track of what the number is? ;-)

Precisely, cq.

I like this thread too much to let it sit around for another day. Apologies for breaking the rules. (Hope you're up to exciting things Little My!)

1. My family lives on 3 continents; scheduling even Skype time together is a terrible joke because of all the time zones involved.
2. My dad's side of the family has lots of military types, poets and professors - including the dude who wrote the Polish national anthem.
3. My mom's side of the family has lots of businessmen, priests and mayors - including the dude who was excommunicated from the Church for watering down the wine used at Sunday mass.

I'm gonna guess #3.

I know #1 is true, unless you also have some family in Australia or Africa that makes it 4 continents :)

So I'll go with #2, and that it was another anthem :)

Lepelaar wins!

#1 is true. I've heard we have cousins on every continent, but I've never met them.

#2 is also true. If you go to the dude's museum, you can find my name on his family tree.

#3 is full of lies - and a funny story! In high school we had to write family history projects, so I googled my mom's mom's family........and found a story about an Irish priest with a name super common for her family (and super uncommon outside of it) who was excommunicated for watering down the Church's wine. HA!

I knew 1 was true so then it was a crepes shoot between 2 and 3.

See, I wasn't planning on guessing again on this thread because now I have to think of something. :P

Ok...

1) I once got a hairline fracture in my elbow by tripping over nothing.
2) I once broke my collarbone skiing into a tree.
3) I once dislocated my shoulder at rowing class by slipping on the dock before even getting in the boat.

3. I can't imagine how slipping --> shoulder dislocation.

Nope, that one's true. :)

There's a wooden incline between the concrete walkway next to the boathouse, and the floating wooden dock. The incline is joined to the sidewalk with a metal joint. As I was taking the oars out of the boathouse, I slipped on the wooden incline, which was icy, and fell sideways so that my shoulder landed awkwardly on the metal joint and popped right out of the socket.

#2! Because #1 is too weird to not be true, unless its another bodypart.

I think #1 is the lie!

Tofulish got it!

I've never been on skis in my life, and considering that I've injured myself tripping over nothing on a flat surface, it's probably for the best.
