Liar Liar Pants on Fire
I had so much fun with last month’s game of “can you pick out the lie?” that I thought I’d try it again. Listed below are 4 things about me, one of which is a lie. Can you guess which it is? Take your best shot. I’ll post the winner in an upcoming entry.
1. I’ve ridden on an elephant.
2. I’ve hiked on the Appalachian Trail.
3. I went to Woodstock.
4. I’ve been on TV.

The WHOLE trail?? I could believe you hiked part of it – but the whole thing?
Michele sent me this time.

Oh, the lie has got to be about being at Woodstock. You don’t look like you were around in the 60’s;)

It must be Woodstock. The elephant thing is so left field that it must be true.

I agree that riding an elephant is too obviously strange, so it must be true. And I am guessing you’ve hiked at least part of the Appalacian Trail. And most everyone has been on TV at least once in their life.
So I’m going with Woodstock as the lie. You don’t seem old enough.

I think you may be to young to have been at Woodstock… so that is my pick 🙂

I’m finally part of the majority! I vote for Woodstock too. The elephant just seems too obvious, unless you’re going for some reverse psycholoy.

You don’t look old enough to have been at Woodstock…

I am going to say being on TV and only because it sounds like the most likely thing you would have done. You could have been a child at woodstock.. there were plenty of them everywhere.

I was going to say Woodstock, since you can’t be old enough to have gone by yourself… but that’s everyone else’s guess, and if you haven’t hiked at least part of the AT, as close as you live to it, you’re crazy, and I don’t know how you could have avoided being on TV, which leaves riding an elephant (which I supposed doesn’t have anything to do with the Republican party).

I was thinking Woodstock, too. We have a book written by a woman who set out to hike the entire AT (I’ll remember the title/author eventually). Marvelous chronicle.

I’ll say you haven’t ridden on an elephant 😉

I will say that you were shown on TV riding an elephant up the Ap trail…so my guess is that you were not at Woodstock.

I don’t know when you lied, but I found a place where you definitely told the truth. I was reading your insightful and revealing comment on Aldon Hynes blog where you listed your motives for blogging. I’m in a graduate level blogging class and hace included your comment in my latest blog, which will be read by a number of my classmates, and intend to analyze it in a paper I”m writing. If you have moer to add, please E-Mail me or send a blog comment.

I could see you doing all of those. That’s a toughie. Elephant or Woodstock look plausible but it’s a shot in the dark.

This is such a guess Coleen..(AND A GREAT GAME, TOO! I’ll have to try this one at some point..)
But..back to my guess…My first thought was Woodstock is the lie….but, you could have been at Woodstock, so, I’m going to say You NEVER rode on an Elephant….Am I wrong??? LOL!
November 27th, 2005 9:17 pm
You did not go to Woodstock. Looking forward to the answer . . .
November 27th, 2005 11:52 pm
OK, when do we get to find out the truth???

I too have ridden an elephant and appeared on TV but never hiked the trail. As to Woodstock? Me too … but then, almost doesn’t count. Dang!
