Two Truths and a Lie

[Adstar]

Ok. Let me see..

1) I have climbed to the top of the Sydney Habour Bridge..

2) I am 56 years old and i have only ever owned one car a Mazda 626..

3) I was a miner for Opal at lighting ridge Australia..

 

[TabinRivCA]

Yes, they were before I was saved.

#1 actually happened.

I've only been to two Yankees games in my entire life, and I attended that particular game with 3 friends of mine.

I don't know if you've ever had the experience where you just feel as if someone is staring at you, but I had that experience that day.

My friends and I were all sitting on the third base side of Yankees stadium; one level up from the visiting team's dugout, and across the field from the Yankees dugout. I had this strong feeling that someone was staring at me, and when I looked across the field and into the Yankees dugout, it definitely looked like Billy Martin, the Yankees manager at that time, was staring directly at me. I mentioned it to my 3 friends, and they said that it appeared that way, too.

Well, I decided to see if it really was true or not, and I waved across the field at Billy Martin, and he immediately waved back at me...during the Yankees game. Apparently, he was staring at me, and God only knows why.

Anyhow, 2 choices remain...

BTW, any other member can guess at these too.
Ok then #3 false, hopefully you started a marathon in a guerilla suit.

I'm guessing #2 even though it's hard to believe.
These are easier at church when you know the person somewhat, lol.

Sorry, but #3 is true.

Back in 1979 (the year that I graduated high school), two former classmates of mine and I attended a New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills game at Shea Stadium (it's no longer there) in Flushing, NY.

During the 4th quarter of the game, we decided to run across the field and to then climb over the outfield wall (the NY Mets used to play there as well) to exit/escape.

Well, I was the fastest of the three of us, so I was leading the pack. The next thing that I knew, I was lying on the ground and holding my head that was spinning.

What happened?

Well, one of my former classmates who had set the high school record earlier that year for the most quarterback sacks by a defensive end in school history decided to add another tackle to his resume. He tackled me from behind, and I fell to the ground and hit my head pretty hard on the field (the game was in November, and the field was pretty hard because it was cold out that day). As I began to come back to my senses (I was almost knocked unconscious), I looked in front of me and saw my two former classmates beginning to climb over the outfield wall. As I looked behind me, I saw a bunch of Police Officers racing towards me to arrest me.

I took off running again, and I barely cleared the outfield wall before they grabbed me.

Did you really think that a bear would be caught in a gorilla suit?

Come on.

Everybody knows that bears rule and gorillas drool.

Anyhow, now that I'm saved, I really don't pay sports of any kind any mind.

I really wanted to give two truths pertaining to God since I've been saved, but I've had so many unusual (although they have parallels in scripture) things happen to me that I didn't think anyone would even believe me.

Share two interesting things (anything will be accepted, lol) about yourself and one lie. The other players will then have to guess if statement #1, #2, or #3 is the lie.
I'll start,

1 I inherited $200,000 in 2006 from my father's estate
2 My first car was a 1959 Jaguar 5 speed, gun metal grey
3 I dated an actor who was on General Hospital (a soap opera)

Wow Tabin, if one of these is true, I'm impressed!

These are mine...

1. I pay all of my taxes.

2. When I was 18, I stupidly succumbed to peer pressure and was an accomplice in a small liquor store robbery.

3. I got into the 3D animation / visual effects industry with almost no formal education in the field.

Too bad. Liked the gorilla suit story.

I'll say 2 because I don't think a lot of people walk across bridges in NYC.

Au contraire. We New Yawkas do tons of walking. Brooklyn Bridge in particular is often filled with walkers, joggers, bikers, etc. What we are not known for is owning cars (and yet with 8+ million people, the city's still filled with cars). I've traversed the Brooklyn Bridge once, if not twice. I've walked from midtown to the WTC and back as far as 23rd Street.

Happy birthday.

Thank you beary much

Ok. I haven't been to NYC in 40 years.

My guess is No 3..

Normally I'd always recommend a visit to my home city. It will be an experience. But, since 'woke' leadership has taken over, I recommend people stay away.

My guess is No 3..

Ahahahahaahahaha!!! Muahahahaahahahaahahaha!!!

Nope.

I thought that you might get a kick out of the Jets game story since you seem to be "Mr. Jets fan" yourself.

In my youth, I spent a lot of time at Shea Stadium. I went to a lot of Mets games there, and several Jets games as well with my father.

My parents separated when I was twelve years old, and for many years I was the only child (I was number 8 out of 9) who stayed in contact with my father. When they separated, he actually moved into an apartment in Flushing, NY (I grew up in New Jersey), so we spent a lot of time around that area when I visited him. It used to be so cold sometimes at the Jets games in the winter, especially in that Shea Stadium could be a bit of a wind tunnel at times, that sometimes my dad and I would have to leave the games at halftime in order to keep from freezing to death.

Anyhow, like I said, now that I'm a Christian, I really don't have any desire for sports which are basically rooted and grounded in such things as pride, violence, and even greed.

 

[Live4Him3]

Thank you beary much

You're welcome, and I hope that it was a good one.

In case you're wondering how I knew, someone mentioned it on another thread.

I'm definitely not a stalking bear.

I'm too busy for that in that I need to regularly hide behind trees while dodging bullets...lol.

I love sports myself. Good healthy competition. Boys being boys. Sin is everywhere, can even be found in the church.

Anyway, went to a Jets game back in the late 80s I believe. FREEEEZZZING. Could not feel my toes. That the Jets were getting Godzilla'd by another team was just too much to sit through that for.

 

[Gojira]

Ahahahahaahahaha!!! Muahahahaahahahaahahaha!!!

Nope.

You have one maw guess... and then it's ... liquidation time! MAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!

This is harder than I thought, so I'm going with #1 being false. Did I break my losing streak here yet, lol?

OK then how about #1 being false. I usually get these right at church in our groups because I know the people somewhat. But this is still interesting.
