Two truths and a lie used to be big with my friends. You say three "facts" about you or things you've done or seen. People try to pick one out as a lie, and then it's their turn to do the same thing. For example:

1. I've been crocodile wrestling.
2. I once flunked a vocabulary test because I forgot to put my name on the top.
3. I crashed a dune buggy when I was twelve and despite totaling the dune buggy, the worst I ended up with was a badly scraped up elbow.

Anyone up and around for a game?

A fair point!

What, you're not even gonna tell me if I got it right or not? Stingy. Okay, fine.

1. I've never broken a bone
2. I'm completely ambidextrous
3. I'm an organ donor

[whatsupcroc]

It was a good guess, but I did say that was just an example!

Okay, so my usual strategy is pick what I think's least fun so I'll say... 1!

[got_it_memorized]

Only an example? And here I was thinking I'd have to call you next time I had to tussle with a two-meter reptile.

I guess organ donation might be slightly more entertaining than broken bones. You're correct, by the way: I broke my arm once when I was fourteen.

So I believe that makes it your turn. Should I come up with an 'example' for my next one, just so we're square?

[whatsupcroc]

Oh, you can, as long as that reptile isn't me!

Wow, so you are an organ donor already! What organ?

My turn,and you're welcome to! It's whatever you feel like doing.

1. I claimed to be injured in a skiing accident once upon a time.
2. I have had ostrich meat before and it wasn't all that bad! It didn't taste like chicken, either.
3. I've been to outer space!

[got_it_memorized]

Oh, you know, that just means that in the event of my death I'm willing to have my corpse be ravaged for parts so someone else might be able to use what I don't need anymore. It's not like a human could survive if anything really vital were removed, after all.

Reptiles, though, I can't say. I never met a reptile that could type before, I must admit; I'm impressed. I suppose in that case I'll go with 3, since while Crocs In Space sounds like a cool film I don't think it'd do too well in practical application.

By the way were you being facetious or are you actually a reptilian luchador or something?

1. I burned off both my eyebrows once
2. I never saw the ocean until I moved away from home
3. I've been shot before

[whatsupcroc]

Kidneys. You can live with one, and family members with the same blood type will often donate to another family member if they're suffering kidney failure. Most the other organs you're right about! It's awkward to live without two of those, or all the singular ones!

You're right! I've never been to space before, though I wouldn't mind. And I wasn't being facetious! I've spent a good few hours as a crocodile from time to time.

2 sounds like the most true to me though if 3 is true I'm glad you got through it okay! 1 I can buy easily.

1. One day I'll climb Mount Everest.
2. I've had personal experience with giant aliens who look like walking salad dicers but are the sweetest people you could ever meet.
3. I wish we had yogurt in a tube here because that stuff is pretty boss when you want a snack at like 4am!

[got_it_memorized]

You know I'm told there's good munny in kidneys.

And wow, seriously? I don't think I've ever been a crocodile before. I was a merman once, but that wasn't my best day, really. And whaddaya mean you can buy 1 easily? Rude, you don't even know me!

You're right, though; 3 is the lie. I'm way too fast for that.

Gut instinct tells me to say 2 if only for sheer oddness, but I feel like that's thrown in there as a control variable because it's so obviously the odd one out. And since yogurt in a tube does indeed sound pretty boss, that leaves me to ponder the truthfulness of 1. Where's Mount Everest?

[whatsupcroc]

Munny is some kind of money I'm betting. And of course there is! Black market body parts, oh my.

Okay I bite, how and why were you a merman for a while?

I believe in people's ability to have almost anything happen when not intending for it to happen at all. Burnt eyebrows totally fall into that category!

One it is! Mount Everest is in Nepal.

sorry for the wait!

[got_it_memorized]

Oh, yeah it's the currency I'm used to. Ironic that it sounds the same. [Oh if you only knew the sort of black market he deals in, Colette...]

The merman thing? It was business trip.

Haven't been to anyplace called Nepal before. Climbed a mountain once or twice, but I don't know if they had names. I'm curious about these salad-dicer aliens, though, that sounds like quite an experience.

never a need for an apology!

[whatsupcroc]

Come on, merman for business? What sort of business are you involved with!

They really are, and they're the sweetest people if they're in their own control. Big tree eaters and groomers, and they can jump like you wouldn't believe!

( And cause injury like one wouldn't wish to imagine when used as tools of war by the Yeerks. )

[got_it_memorized]

Ah ah ah~ I never give away my secret identity on a first date.

Tree eaters? Like whole entire trees? I guess that's one way of getting your daily serving of vegetables.

Oh, it was my turn, wasn't it? Hm. Sports edition!

1. I'm really good at skateboarding
2. I'm an excellent swimmer
3. I'm a champion at frisbee

[whatsupcroc]

Guessing 2! Only due to the fact I mostly see only a handful down at the pool.

But yeah, like they eat parts of whole trees. They're smart about it! They take care of the forests while living off them too.

Gee, here I thought we had something special! Now I'm going to linger in total sadness and ignorance this will be such a terrible day!

[got_it_memorized]

Bzzt, nope! It's actually 1; nearly broke my neck on one of those dumb things. I'm a pretty good swimmer for a guy who never even saw the ocean til fairly recently. It's a bit chilly to hit the pool around here though, don't you think?

And don't get too upset; I mean, we haven't even really been introduced yet! No self-respecting secret agent would share his secret THAT easily; you obviously need to watch more heist movies.

That said, nice to meet you, I'm Axel. Got it memorized?
