Lance Berkman is an all-star for the Houston Astros. And that is not the lie.

 

[t-funk]

OMG! I'm 5'7 and I have that problem! I'm sooo down to help start the clothing line! 😀

I tell ya', the idea's a winner! Every 5'7" girls gets excited when you talk about it.

 

[myofibroblast]

HAHA This is a cool game!!!!! Guess mine!!!

1. I have been fascinated with death from a very young age

2. I have been playing the banjo for 9+ years

3. I am married to my high school sweetheart (I know I stole this but I like it!)

HAHA You're almost right T-funk. I do wanna go into forensic path and I have been playing the banjo for 9+ years. But I WILL marry my high school sweetheart, it will just be about a year and a half! 🙂 Gay, I know but I wanted to be part of the fun!

 

[EEL08]

1. I have several friends in the NBA
2. I regularly average over 20 mph on the bike in triathlons of varying distances
3. I once kissed Lance Berkman's girlfriend

I'm guessing #1 is the lie but I also have no idea who Lance Berkman is.

 

[TexasTriathlete]

Here's some more on me...

1. I am eating sushi right now
2. Pomegranite is the most disgusting fruit known to man
3. I hate sex

3. I hate sex

Seriously? It has to be #3. By the way, did you kiss this guy's girlfriend while they were still together?

 

[TexasTriathlete]

#1 is also not the lie. 3 of my former athletes, as well as one other friend of mine who I did not work with while doing strength and conditioning at UT, are now in the NBA.

I am 20+ on the bike on short courses only

I was gonna' say, I thought 20 mph was pretty common place but I guess for only short distances. Remind me to think next time.

You don't strike me as the sushi type (being from Texas and all) . . . I call BS on #1. 😉

 

[EEL08]

Yeah that's why I thought that one was true too although I also thought that TT probably knew some people who play in the NBA. Why do I keep picking wrong?! I going with my gut instinct on the next one.

Cool! The banjo rocks. Seriously! I've played the guitar for about 15 yrs but only so I can accompany myself singing. I can't do anything fancy. I love bluegrass. 👍

Okay here's mine:

1. I lived in Hawaii for one month.

2. I was the 7th and 8th grade spelling bee champion at my school.

3. I went skydiving once.

 

[RySerr21]

1. i was hustled for 100 dollars outside of a las vegas casino hours after winning 200 at the craps table

2. i've been stung by a sting ray. most painful experience of my life.

3. i won 20 bucks by eating a 2 inch long piece of chalk

I'm going to call BS on 3. I'm terrified of just the thought of skydiving so that's why I picked it. Not a real good reason. I bet you were a spelling champion the way you were schooling that guy today.

I'm picking 2 as the lie. Nobody would think of eating chalk unless they really did it.
There's all sorts of hustlers out there in Vegas so why not.

I have a feeling I will get this one wrong too. I'm going to say #3 is the lie. If not, yuck!!

Aww man! I'm not very good at this game. You're right. I actually used to really want to go but as I've gotten older I'm much more scared about things than I used to be. I have a friend who went though and loved it. I should have waited to correct that other poster after I posted this. 😛 Hopefully they didn't think I was jerk because I wasn't trying to be but weary does not equal wary.

I have a feeling the OP hasn't even come back to the thread yet and he/she needed to know. 😀

congrats! you got it right. t-funk unfortunately was incorrect, i have been stung by a stingray and it was the most painful thing i have ever experienced. when i hopped off my surfboard i happened to land on it and it just whipped my ankle. my whole body froze in pain, i couldnt paddle in... someoen had to come carry me to the sand so the lifeguards could take me to the tower..... it was swollen for like 2 weeks straight. awwwwful.



and the only reason i thought of chalk is b/c i'm in a room in the library with a chalk board. haha

 

[t-funk]

OK, here's mine,

1) I re-enacted parts of the Oregon and Mormon trails when I was a teenager.

2) I am left handed.

3) I have a horse which I stable.

Woo hoo!! Finally!!

 

[TexasTriathlete]

I don't know if Lance Berkman and his girlfriend were still together when I kissed her or not. She was a senior in high school, and he was a freshman at Rice U. I always leave that part out.

I would eat sushi for every meal if I could afford to.

And ~20mph is on the fast end of things. Elites are usually 25+, but I am not a very talented triathlete. I am over 6'4" and about 230# (usually race at about 220). There aren't many who are bigger than me, and as the races get longer, I really start to wear out. But I still love it.

 

[RySerr21]

anybody have any good trivia questions or fun facts? that might be fun.

t funk you are right handed

Hmmm I'm having a hard time deciding which one it is. I actually try to reason through it. 😳 I'll go with #3.

You got it. I used to have a horse when I was a kid and hopefully I will again one day.

Woo hoo I'm on a roll!! 😀 For some reason you look like you would be left-handed. Great reasoning right? I wasn't sure about #1 but I remembered you were on your own early so I thought that could be true.

 

[vickfan1]

Texas- i know who Lance Berkman is. but who are your friends in the NBA? just curious. thats pretty cool.

What classic toy got four write-in votes in the 1985 Boise, Idaho mayoral election?

 

[t-funk]

Mr Potato Head?

 

[EEL08]

Mr Potato Head?

Score 1 point for t-funk! I thought you would get it especially because of the close relationship you and Mr Potato Head have.

 

[EEL08]

Who was the youngest chipmunk: Alvin, Simon, or Theodore?

 

[TexasTriathlete]

Texas- i know who Lance Berkman is. but who are your friends in the NBA? just curious. thats pretty cool.

I worked in strength and conditioning for men's basketball at UT in the 2002-03 season, and on that team, we had TJ Ford (Toronto Raptors), Royal Ivey (Milwaukee Bucks), and James Thomas (d-league, last I heard, but has had several stints in the league).

I also know Maurice Evans, who plays for the Magic. I actually probably know him better than the three I worked with.

 

[t-funk]

Who was the youngest chipmunk: Alvin, Simon, or Theodore?

That one's hard, Theodore?

 

[RySerr21]

Who was the youngest chipmunk: Alvin, Simon, or Theodore?

theodore! he still has baby fat! haha.

 

[t-funk]

theodore! he still has baby fat! haha.

That was my reasoning too.

 

[RySerr21]

what is the largest south american country by area?

 

[EEL08]

Dang you guys are good! I thought it was Alvin but apparently not.

Okay I'm guessing you guys will know this one:

What film gave Martin Short the encouraging lines: "Sew, old woman, sew! Like the wind"?

 

[TexasTriathlete]

Brazil

Three Amigos

 

[t-funk]

Brazil, man, I need to go to bed. I have a quiz in Biochem tomorrow. 🙁

 

[EEL08]

[EEL08]

Three Amigos was a great movie, wasn't it? 🙂

 

[t-funk]

Three Amigos was a great movie, wasn't it? 🙂

I haven't seen that movie in awhile which reminds me of one of the best movies of all time, The Jerk! 👍

 

[TexasTriathlete]

I would not want to think that someone would tell me that I have a plethora, when that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora.

 

[EEL08]

Is that the one with Steve Martin where he keeps saying "and that's all I need"?

 

[EEL08]

I would not want to think that someone would tell me that I have a plethora, when that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora.

I think it's time to rent that movie again.

Who picked Mr. T as his tag-team partner in the first Wrestlemania, irking serious wrestling fans?

 

[TexasTriathlete]

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is the best Steve Martin movie. And one of the best movies ever.
