I know what you guys are thinking, but in the place I come from in India, it is not considered incest and a very accepted tradition if a girl marries her maternal uncle, but it is incest if you marry your father's brother. The logic is derived from the belief that a girl assumes her husband's family lineage after marriage. In other parts of the country, it is treated as incest. No medical/scientific logic really, but that's how it is. In other words, #4 is true Actually, that option didn't seem as otlandish as someone, who has spent a bit of time here, never being on a roller coaster. Is that the lie?

Bicycles are common, but I never owned one for some reason. I remember having a tricycle as a toddler #2 is true, I competed with a bunch of kids, more untalented than me, when I was perhaps 9 or 10 years of age This was a competition at school. #5 is the lie, as you guessed rightly, in the detail. I wear them for short-sight (myopia), the most common reason I think.

1. I have a house in VA 2. I have a Grandaughter named Abby 3. I was adopted when I was 2 months old 4. I go deer hunting with the Col. 5. I've met several BB Members I know you are from VA and will guess you may have property there. I think 3,4, & 5 are true, so I'm going with #2. I Have never heard you mention a grandaughter. TIS

Guess mine
1. I was in the Guiness Book of Records 2. I have kissed a pig (no not my wife) 3. My wiener got the job done in 11 seconds 4. I once hitch hiked from St. Louis to Kansas City 5. I still hold the record for most career technical fouls on my high school basketball team. I'm guessing you were in the Gunness Book with a group for something. You kissed a pig to raise money for a fund raiser. I'm sure 11 seconds was enough time. If you rode the boxcar, hitchhiking would seem more than plausible. I'm picking #5 because I don't know that high schools maintain records for technical fouls, and you seem more of a football guy to me? Nice try my friend and good reasoning on the hitchhiking based on my love of trains and all things hobo. However, my lie is #5 -- I still hold the record for technical fouls at my high school -- cant sat that I am proud but hey -- I am in the books. I am only about 6'3" and I was a power forward. I went to a small private high school in St. louis so we did not have mnay tall guys on the BB team. Though my opponanants may have towered over me, I could box them out and not afraid to mixup o th boards. I used to hold rebounding records as well, hower, like all records (except apparently my technical foul record), it was a mattter of time before it was eliminated from the books.

Ok, I am kind of confused here on who's turn it is!! Thanks Mig, You don't go hunting???? I thought for sure that was true. Part, Although I can't imagine why you'd go (since that's your opposite side) ;), but I'll guess you were at an Obama event. TIS

I'm confused. How is this the lie? 5. I still hold the record for most career technical fouls on my high school basketball team. However, my lie is #5 -- I still hold the record for technical fouls at my high school -- cant sat that I am proud but hey -- I am in the books.

Sorry gang -- I f'd my reply up. I was in the midle of a project and needed a break and my dyslexia must have got the better of me -- that's my excuse and I am sticking with it OK the lie is #2 NOT #5. I meant to say Good reasoning Kly (with my riding the rails) BUT I have never hitched hike before (though I would like to try someday). #5 is the truth -- I still hold that great regrettable record at my high school Sorry for the confusion gang!

OK - let's try this again from a political perspective
1. I gave a speach to the joint session of the Missouri State Legislature in the Chamber at the Missouri Stage Capital.
2. I was given a police escort by the Misouri Hiway Patrol to make a presentation to the Governor of Missouri.
3. I have attended two of presidential candidate Barak Obama speaches and strangley shocked at the response.
4. I attended a fundraiser for a congressional candidate and had to fight off the flirtatious advances from his wife.
5. I was a candidate for State Representative fro my district in the state of Missouri. OK Here goes and I am going to have my assistant look at this before I post so that it is correct THE FIRST TIME! 1. Truth -- I spoke at the State Capital to a joint session (State Senators and Representatives) when I was 17 (speaking about the Boy Scouts of America) 2. Truth -- When I was 17 I was the official youth spokesperson for the Boy Scouts in St. Louis. each year, they did a "Report to the Governor" program. It was pretty cool -- a state highway patrol officer picked me up at my house and then escorted me to Jeffereson City, the State Capital to the Governors office to make the report and then the Governors Mansion for lunch. 3. Truth -- I was at the VFW Convention last year when it was in KC last year and Obama spoke. As you can imagine with this crowd he was heckled and booed. I also went last month when he spoke at the Truman Presidential Museum and Library. The auditorium holds about 1,000 people and there were about 200 empty seats so it was quiet as a mouse in there. Like most events if you have 1,000 seats you typically give out 1500-2500 tickets to insure a full and packed house (ever try going to a movie sneak preview and have to arrive 3 hours early to stand in line!) They distributed 2500 tickets but still only 800 showed up. I would have been pissed if I was the campaign advance team as that made more coverage (locally) than his speach he was giving. 4. Truth -- sadly but true. I have to attend fundraisers for both parties (have to get all parties on my side). Representative X's wife made some comments that were rather suggestive and I hope she was innocently flirting. She did have a bit too much to drink 5. The Lie -- Never have ran for elective office
