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?

Hold it! Is it really the lie or not?

[whatsupcroc]

Or not!

[acemedium]

So which one is the lie, then?

[whatsupcroc]

I'll tell you a secret! None of those were lies.

[acemedium]

[You cheated!!]

So they're all true?!

[whatsupcroc]

( Confirmed Cheater Collette! )

I did say it was an example!

[acemedium]

I underestimated you, Secret Agent Collette! I didn't know you had such a capacity for sneakiness!

[whatsupcroc]

It's the truth being the agent, all that hidden sneakiness! Can you ever forgive me?

[acemedium]

Maybe!

But only if we sneak together instead of you just being sneaky to me!

[whatsupcroc]

I think I can work that into my next sneaky plan.

( She smiles for her own sake as she sends this in return. )

[acemedium]

You'd better! Secret agents don't hold out on each other, you know!

... So what's with the game? Are you bored?

[whatsupcroc]

Couldn't sleep, so figured I'd see if the network would work as a distraction.

( And boy oh boy if it hasn't just! She's torn between deciding if this is one of her sillier ideas, to deciding if it's inadvertently one of the best. )

Why're you up?

[acemedium]

Looks like there are a lot of night owls hooting back at you!

I always get up really early.

[whatsupcroc]

This isn't early, this is crazy!

( Even if she laughs as she says that. )

Yeah, some regular night birds and morning owls today.

[acemedium]

Well, you know what they say! The early cat catches the bird!

Maybe there's some kind of anti-sleep bug going around!

[whatsupcroc]

I'm not sure that's the right saying...

Hahah, do you think there's any cure for this disease?

[acemedium]

Sure it is!

Um... maybe a punch to the head? Or a good bedtime story?
