Nope, I was a bit tricksy on this one. I don't have a favorite NBA team, because it's one of the few sports I don't watch. I've been a big Liverpool fan even suffering through the dreadful Hodgson days. But I adore Klopp.

Lie Guess: 2. Because cars not starting right away are a fairly normal occurrence (at least mine anyway :lol: ). So, the fact you say this was the first time ever, seems like the lie.

I have read...
1. A Song of Ice and Fire and A Dance with Dragons
2. The entire Dexter series
3. The entire Harry Potter series

You got it. I have read 2 of the books in the series and have intended to read all of them for quite some time, but haven't done so yet.

Lie guess: 3, because 1 and 2 relate to me last weekend as well, and garbage is picked up on Monday for me. :shrug:

1. I drink on average 6 cups of coffee a day
2. At least one cup of coffee is from Starbucks
3. I believe Tim Horton's has the perfect cup of coffee

That's a good guess, I lived in rural Louisiana so I suppose it's a sort of half-lie :mwahaha:

Lie Guess: I'm gonna go with the unconventional answer and say 3, monotonous jobs aren't all that bad

1. I have moved more than 20 times in my life and lived in 6 states
2. I have a script for an audio drama adaptation of "The Wendigo"
3. I am an actual bear

It would be pretty impressive for a bear to be typing so well. As someone who has moved probably close to 20 times (I haven't tried counting) and lived in three countries the first one doesn't seem that unlikely and based on your penchant for audio dramas the second one seems likely.

1. I like sugar in my coffee
2. I like milk in my tea
3. I like butter on my toast

Correct! I hate Starbucks, don't even know that last time I had coffee from them. Sadly the Tim Horton's closest to me closed, and I don't go out of my way to get to the next one, but if I'm heading in that general direction, I always make time to stop at TH. :smile:

Lie guess: 2. Because I expect everyone to have similar tastes to my own. :lol: I don't prefer it, but I can drink coffee without sugar, and always have butter on toast. I've never put milk in tea.

Currently...
1. My water pipes are frozen
2. My fridge is making an annoying buzzing sound for about 5 seconds every hour
3. The fan to my furnace is broken

I am, as it turns out, a bear (grizzly if you'd like to know), so you are sadly wrong, I have an idea for script for "The Wendigo" in my head with a few bits and pieces written out but nothing more

Lie Guess: 2, because it's the time of year when all the shire hits the fan with pipes and furnaces (hopefully they can get fixed soon)

I have seen the following in concert...
1. Opeth

Well seeing as I am as about as knowlegable as Jon Snow on this particular subject this is a wild lie guess that 1 is the lie.


My turn I guess...

1 I have cleared snow 8 times since the start of February
2 I have been playing ranked Overwatch with my newest friends for a few weeks now
3 I got begged to run a Starfinder game.

It is that time of year, but fortunately my pipes were not frozen. It hasn't been too cold compared to most winters, just tons and tons of snow. My furnace fan was fixed and my fridge still makes a random loud buzzing (just not as often :googly: )

Lie guess: 2. Because 1 is something that could happen to me as well, and curry seems to be a popular food choice in the UK.

1. I get up at 3:30 am to get to work at 4:45 am
2. 30 hours straight is the longest I've stayed up.

lie guess: 2. Because yawns are contagious, even just reading about someone being yawny has me yawning right now. And I'm going to say you're quite sad by currently being yawny. So, the lie is #2.

@Vanlanthiriel You're suppose to put up your own lies and truths! But alas that is incorrect. Mostly because at that time most days that it did snow it snowed for multiple days so I only cleared the snow once per storm lol

Lie guess 1 I feel like it's too mainstream for you.

1. I have already started my seeds for my garden
2. I've had to set up a grow light for my strawberry guava tree that I'm growing in my house.
3. I am trying to bring in 5 rose bushes to plant this year to recreate my memorial garden

I find it is a little early to start seeds indoors (mine always get leggy when I plant too early). I have read that you can grow the guava under a light. When you say bring in, I assume you mean ordering? All sounds factual, but I will go with 1. It is -9 C in Swan River today. I hope your seedlings have a warm spot if I am wrong about the lie. :smile:

Lie guess: 1

1- I was up a 4:45 a.m. today.
2. I cleaned my snake's vivarium today.
3. I made spaghetti sauce today.

Frost: Sorry, I had no packages at that day. Urbex videos are documentations of old abandoned houses, parks, palaces or industrial complexes by young people, who film to create a lasting memory of some sorts. Most of the time it is about properties that are buldozed and redeveloped. They come across items I know, but they don't and hang an idea about it what it possible could be. Gives me an insight how young people (born after 2000) perceive the world around them and that is different than mine.

Lie guess: Nr 3

1. eh.. It is still very sunny outside due a high pressure front.
2. I am :confused: feeling so today.

1. I like koalas
2. I made an ambient playlist inspired by Laird Barron

It was actually (2) since we bought new bookshelves when we bought our house but it's taken me two years to get around to organizing it.

Lie Guess: (1) the other two just seem far too realistic for you :lol:

#2 is 99% likely to be true I still have one but it's avi cord failed a few days ago waiting to get a new one, 1 and 3 though? Damn.

I'm gonna go with #3 is the lie I couldn't do that to my old text books those are hella expensive.

Lie Guess: #2, (3) sounds specific enough to be an allergy so I'm between (1) and (2), it seems odd to me to be allergic to specifically salmon and not say other finned fish like tuna so I'll pick that as the lie.

1. I'm using a large ML textbook to prop up my computer monitor
2. I got said ML text book free because I TA'd the class (regardless of whether (1) is true)

@Romeran interestingly enough #3 is the lie. I get brutally ill with the other two - I don't stop breathing or anything like that but if you want to see me ill for a minimum of 3 days clinging to the porcelain god.

Big fat guess of a lie #2 mostly because dried fruit skins as a collection seems a bit odd compared to the other two.

1. The road near me is down to 1 lane for both directions thanks to the snow and wind.
2. I got a watercolour/mixed media commission today.
3. I still have 10 boxes to unpack from moving.

Sorry if it makes you cringe, but you are correct. College texts depreciate in value more than cars do in my opinion. Most of the profs were upfront and honest, but some of them had it "mandatory" to buy the textbook and we only used it 20% of the time. :rage: But they make good weights and drink coasters. :lol:

Lie guess: I'm saying the lie is #2, because roads being reduced lanes to bad weather is pretty common (if you live in those areas) and I still have boxes to unpack from my move 2 years ago.

@Boromir88 I only have 6 boxes left not ten. lol I did get a watercolour/mixed media commission that day for $100...

As for textbooks maybe it's what I took that I still think most of mine are useful... I mostly have books on drafting and drawing and costume construction as a theatre film major (I also have astronomy and Cosmology text books because I am a giant nerd and enjoy my space science)

Lie guess 3. Mostly cause short of making the text a lot bigger it's better for your eyes to still use your glasses screen or paper from what I understand.

1. I am going to be getting my piano restrung (missing wires) and tuned soon.
2. I legally cannot take on an apprentice due to municipal bylaws.
3. If I want therapeutic massages I need to book a year in advance.

Lie Guess: hmm..#2, because I feel like I vaguely recall you having a famous author with the same birthday as you. Or I could just be making that up.
Not a bad guess! While I'm not sure if any famous author's share my birthday, indeed one of the first writers to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Bram Stoker Awards died the very same day I was born. It was fate, apparently, that I dive into the world of genre fiction.

Lie Guess: Oh man, I feel like I should at least have a guess from the conversations we've had but I have no clue. French feels possible, and as a stat man, Arabic seems like (given the Arabic connection to math and such). I'm going out on a limb and saying.... 3

1. Dracula is better than Frankenstein
2. Wuthering Heights is better than Northanger Abbey
3. The Case of Dorian Grey is better than the Phantom of the Opera

Correct! I learned French when I lived in Canada and I studied Arabic because it was my wife's (girlfriend at the time) major in college.

Lie Guess: 3. I've made both (1) and (2) and although making pasta/noodles can be tricky it's a pretty common thing. I've eaten tamales but never made one. So completely projecting my own experiences on to you that's my guess.


1. I have an uncanny memory for song lyrics
2. I have an uncanny memory for people's names
3. I have an uncanny memory for useless trivia

Nope. The bubblegum challenge is the easiest one...just try to fit an entire pack of gum in your mouth and chew it all at once. I'm not a crazy enough person to attempt the cinnamon challenge. :googly:

Lie guess: 2 because that could go for me. I can't remember names for shire, but I do remember song lyrics (but not the band/artists!) and other useless things.

1. I have a Bachelors in Social Studied education that I'm not using.
2. I took a wine tasting class in university
3. I can speak French fluently.

Not a bad guess! Incorrect, but your logic was sound. I live in La Frontera so knowing how to make tamales, even for someone as white as myself, is fairly standard. Now, I've only done it once and they weren't very good, but I can say I did it once. I was gifted a pasta maker when I started college but it never actually got any use. I know how make real tortillas but they're incredibly labor intensive and I'm nothing if not a lazy balrog.

Lie Guess: 3, I'm willing to bet you can speak French on some level but "fluency" is nebulous and subjective enough an adjective here to throw things off

1. I studied anthropology at college
2. Sabermetrics fascinate me
3. .FLAC is an overrated audio file type

Nope! I do have a collection of bottled dried fruit skins. I lost my film container with my last baby teeth a long time ago.

Lie Guess: 1

1. I had pizza for supper.
2. I have a shower curtain with a lazy sloth on it.
3. I have three finely finished cedar stumps in my living room.
