The Syndicate

1. Make three statements. Two should be true and one should be false. Do not demarcate which is which.
2. The poster after you will guess which statement is false and then post their own three statements.
3. After that person has posted, you can tell them if they were correct. Other players can post their own three statements in the interim.
4. For obvious reasons, don't double post (except to clarify).
5. Keep a running tally of your correct guesses at the bottom of your posts. First to 100 wins!


I'll go first

I. I've never ridden a horse, but I've ridden a camel and an elephant.
2. I met David Bowie at 8 Seconds at an after-party for Sting in Gainesville.
3. I was once deposed in a malpractice case against my firm for 8 hours.

1. False
2. True
3. True

1. I have never played XBOX 360.
2. I have never broken a bone.
3. I have never been on an airplane.

Actually #3 is the one that is false. I'm scared of horses, so I've never been on one.

Is #1 false?

1. My favorite flowers are orchids.
2. My favorite cake is lemon.
3. My favorite scent is patchouli.

You are correct.

I say #2 is a lie.

1. I have met Ric Flair.
2. I have met Doug Gray.
3. I have met Billy Dee Williams.

Sorry, you are incorrect. #3 was false. I do not like smelling like a hippie; I tend to like clean-smelling scents like citrus or green tea.

I am going to guess #2?

1. I have worked at a radio station.
2. I have worked at a detective agency.
3. I have worked a newspaper.

Mongoose: 1 pt

No, I've met Ric Flair and The Marshall Tucker Band. Never met Lando.

I'm going to say #3 is false.

1. I don't like roller coasters.
2. I don't like chewing tobacco.
3. I don't like rattlesnake meat.

I'm going to say #1 is false.

1. I've met Ellen DeGeneres
2. I've owned cats and dogs
3. I love riding horses.

You are correct.

I think #2 is false.

1. I have worked in accounting.
2. I have worked in plumbing.
3. I have worked in concessions.

Actually #2 is false, I worked at both a radio station and at the Gainesville Sun while in college. I was actually on the cinema beat while at the paper, for their college section.

Is #1 false, Epi?

Mongoose: 1



1. I'm allergic to cinnamon
2. I'm allergic to mint
3. I'm allergic to strawberries

I have never worked in plumbing, so no.

#3 has to be the lie.

1. I love steak more than hamburger
2. I love shrimp more than scallops.
3. I love chicken more than turkey.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be:

1. An FBI agent
2. A comic book store owner
3. An artist

Which is the lie?

I'll say 3 is the lie.

Is #2 your lie?

Ways I have pranked someone:

1. Hidden in a cardboard box in the firm's conference room and then burst out and yelled "Surprise!" when the paralegal walked in.
2. Took all of the blue objects out of someone's office.
3. Printed up fake party invites from another attorney and put them in the fax machine so it looked like he had faxed us a foam & cage dancer cocktail party invite by accident.

No, #3 was my tall tail.

I must go for meow though.

#3 was my lie, I'm allergic to horses

1. I've owned a Honda Accord

Gonna say #3.

Mine was #2, never owned a Corolla.

I'm going to say yours DP is #1

More:
1. I'm scared of heights.
2. I'm scared of needles.

Mine was #2. I love heights actually.

I'm guessing #3 for you. :o

1. I hate AC/DC passionately.
2. I hate Bob Dylan passionately.
3. I hate Pantera passionately.

Here's mine, cause Epi didn't have a guess.

1. Hidden in a cardboard box in the firm's conference room and then burst out and yelled "Surprise!" when the paralegal walked in.
2. Took all of the blue objects out of someone's office.
3. Printed up fake party invites from another attorney and put them in the fax machine so it looked like he had faxed us a foam & cage dancer cocktail party invite by accident.

DP - Is yours #3?

Yup!

I'm gonna say #3.

1. I've eaten ostrich.
2. I've eaten escargot.
3. I've eaten frog.

DisgruntledPorcupine wrote:Yup!

Mine was actually #2.

1. I prefer soft serve to hand scooped ice cream
2. I prefer vanilla to chocolate.
3. I prefer waffle cones to cake cones.

Mongoose:2

No guess? D:

Oh! #3?

Yes Dp you were right, mine was #3.

This looks like fun!

I'll guess #1 for Mongoose, really not sure though, it's a toughie.

As for myself, I'll nominate these:
1. I've never had surgery.
2. I've never consumed an alcoholic beverage.
3. I've never been to a wedding.

Mine was #3. I am weirdo who likes vanilla over chocolate. And I prefer softserve to hard stuff.

MP - #1?


1. I'm been trapped in an elevator in a La Quinta in Tallahassee, where we were staying to watch a Gators v. Seminoles matchup
2. I've spilled champagne on the control board in master control room at WUFT-FM
3. I procured my pet cat when he crawled into my car when I was at a gas station, and I found him when I pulled in at home because he was meowing.

Mongoose wrote:Oh! #3?

Not gonna do one right now since I'm having trouble thinking.

So I decided to be a weirdo and make two of them actually false; want to re-guess?

I suppose I should have said that at first, but I wanted to see which one someone would single out first. I promise I'll play the right way hereon after.

As to yours... #3. Maybe?

Lol, I know the answer!

1. I have watched a cow be slaughtered in my front yard.
2. My namesake is from Finland (or Finalnd if you are Vomps).
3. I once played a male role in a play in high school.

Also, both 1 & 2 on MP's list were lies.

What?!?!! How dare you?? You're not allowed to answer any of my questions! :P

I won't answer yours either since I already know the answer.

But here's another one for SOMEONE OTHER THAN DAISY and I am playing by the rules this time:
1. I have been registered for internet forums for over half of my life.
2. I hate soft drinks.
3. I am allergic to mold.

Am I allowed to answer two?

Daisy: #3?

MP: #2?

1. I have worked on a brewery bottling line
2. I have interned for Martha Stewart
3. I have worked as an extra in the movie Lincoln

I don't see why not, personally!

Nope! Mine was #3. I am allergic to ragweed, but I don't have any other allergies that I know of. I can't stand soft drinks, pretty much the only time I ever will drink them is when I'm sick (when everything else tastes terrible) or if there's hardly any other option.

As to yours... how about #1?

Nope, it was #3, although many around this area were extras in Lincoln since it was filmed nearby.

Mongoose, we are never going to reach 100 in this game, because we keep getting them wrong!

Daisy, what was yours?

1. I have never eaten ham
2. Mushrooms are one of my favorite foods
3. Coffee makes me crazy and I can't drink it

I am guessing #3 was the lie.

1. I hate soda
2. I have blue eyes
3. I have a green thumb

#2 I think lol maybe #3 - I choose #2

I have eaten grub worms
I have eaten escargot
I have eaten raw onions like an apple

Yup, I have green eyes with a hazel cast.

I am gonna guess 2, I can totally see you eating grubs & onions like an apple.

1~I have eaten Escargot
2~ I have broken 15 bones in my body
3~ I have never gotten a ticket

I say #1 is the lie.

1. I am getting teal and gray diamonds in my new room.
2. I won't use my old grill because I'm afraid it will collapse and catch the deck on fire.
3. My first priority with regard to renovations is replacing the counter tops because they stain easily.

#3 is your lie, Epi.

1. I once had a job improving film scripts.
2. I once had a job stocking IKEA in the middle of the night.
3. I once had a job writing incidental music for a children's show.

But our counter tops do stain easily!

It is my lie though. I don't give a shite about counter tops (yet).

#2 is your lie.

1. I have covered "Sultans of Swing" at a fair full of vets.
2. I have covered "Comfortably Numb" at a church full of old people.
3. I have covered "From the Beginning" at an elementary school full of kids.

I agree #2 is llamas lie.

Yours is #1. You're in the other two places often. I don't know where you found a 'fair' of vets.

1. I've played a professional music gig, but I didn't cash the cheque
2. I worked four hours in hospitality, and decided it didn't agree with me
3. I've been to every continent except Antarctica, which I have no desire to go to

You're both wrong! #3 was my lie.

thellama73 wrote:You're both wrong! #3 was my lie.

Boring. That sounds like a much more fun thing to do.

thellama73 wrote:You're both wrong! #3 was my lie.

Oh I get it. You actually wrote "Occidental" music for a children's show.

Ah ha!

If only you'd consult a map, you would see I live right next door to the USA's largest military base, Fort Bragg. The Fort Bragg Fair was where I played my first show, as a guest with a friend's band. I played and sang "Sultans of Swing."

I did play "Comfortably Numb" in a church full of old people, and they were predictably appalled (I sounded good though, so fuck those old people).

I have never played "From the Beginning" in a school (or anywhere else outside of my home).

Your lie is #1. Every musician wants to get paid.

Haha nope. I was young and embarrassed that I'd get paid for it. I've never been to South America, though.
