Liar Liar Pants on Fire
Julia tagged me for two truths and a lie.
Today is the anniversary of Katrina and it just so happens that G and I will be traveling to New Orleans in a couple of weeks, so my truths and lie are all about vacations we've taken.
1) Once upon a time, we were invited to spend July 4th weekend in London, England. The trip included flying there and back on the Concorde (DUDE I saw SPACE!) and seeing The Three Tenors at Wembley Stadium. We had crappy seats at Wembley (although they ended up being good when it started to pour half way through the show and we were under the tin roof) and the sound was totally off so the Tenors sang and we heard it a week later. On the way back to the hotel from the Stadium, we were sort of car jacked. A man walked up to the car and opened the back door (I was in the middle between G and a woman who worked for British Airways) and the man tried to take her purse. I screamed at G to get out of the car get out of the car but he couldn't figure out how to open the door. Meanwhile the woman sitting next to me was totally fighting with the would be robber and managed to save her purse at the expense of her Rolex. Her husband, who was sitting in the front seat with the driver, ran after the theif. G ran after the husband. I stood in the middle of the road in a foreign country screaming, "Come back. Come back." Jolly good fun but at least the trip was free.
2) G won an all expense paid trip to Maui, first class - super deluxe suite at the Four Seasons - by winning a tennis tournament for travel managers. I woke up the morning of our flight with a killer sore throat and ended up being sick pretty much the whole trip. Which was fine with me because hallucinating in paradise is kind of fun. The first two days I barely got out of bed, watching the birds chirp along the lanai trailing rainbows behind their feathered asses. The room, if you could call it that, had two separate entrances, two bathrooms, two kitchens and a wrap around balcony bigger than my apartment. When I finally ventured out of the hotel I ran into David Spade at the restaurant near the pool. It was all I could do to keep my breakfast down. Hula-va good time but at least the trip was free.
3) One of the first trips G and I ever took was to the Balearic Islands in Spain. We hit Mallorca and then Ibiza - land of house music - and had a fabulous European vacation. That was until I decided to go topless and ended up with a hideous ITCHFEST all across my chest. The hostel we were staying in had no air conditioning and I was in agony, begging to cut the vacation short. We were in the pharmacy trying to find something to help with my rash when an older woman in the store heard us asking the pharmacist for help. She started talking to us and took pity - you see - she said, her son-in-law was the manager of a hotel not far from where we were staying and she said she was sure he could get us a wonderful air-conditioned room. He did. It was the phenomenol Hotel Hacienda where every room overlooks the sea and the shrimp they serve at brunch are as big as dolphins. We stayed there for the rest of our trip - two nights. Best rash I ever had; at least the room was free.
Let's make this a contest. Everyone who leaves the right answer in the comments gets a spot in the proverbial hat to win a skein of Mountain Colors Barefoot in Wild Rasberry and some other stuff to be named later. One entry per person please. I'll close comments on Wednesday.
And I'm tagging some new to me blogs for this meme: Rar Made This and Through the Loops and of course, anyone else who wants to knock their socks off.
A very special, very high energy guest(s) is coming to visit, so blogging might be sporadic for a little bit. And as soon as she leaves, my sister and the kids come, so please don't expect great things on the blog this week. Have a good one!

2. Definitely 2. Or maybe 3. No, its 2. I think. Maybe.
Posted by: bunchkin at August 28, 2006 02:40 AM
No 1. I think.....
Posted by: Spinningfishwife at August 28, 2006 02:45 AM
I think 3 is the lie.
Posted by: nikki at August 28, 2006 03:31 AM
I'm going with #1 as the lie.
Posted by: Carole at August 28, 2006 05:59 AM
hummm I say number 2 is the lie
Posted by: Kelly at August 28, 2006 06:04 AM
hmmm, no idea. number 3.
Posted by: kris at August 28, 2006 06:11 AM
I'm guessing story number 2 is the lie. (But you're good at it!)
Posted by: Annie at August 28, 2006 06:18 AM
I'm guessing no. 1. All good stories, though!
Posted by: lauragayle at August 28, 2006 06:30 AM
Hi there, I'm a bit new to your blog but I've been enjoying it since I found it last week. I think #2 is the lie.
Posted by: Stephanie at August 28, 2006 06:58 AM
I think it's # 1.
Posted by: Kelly at August 28, 2006 07:18 AM
#2 is not true
Posted by: Rebekkah at August 28, 2006 07:35 AM
I'm going to guess number 3. Number one sounds like something that could only happen in London. I think if number 2 was a fantasy in paradise you'd have seen someone more attractive than David Spade. I'm going with number 3.
Posted by: Karen at August 28, 2006 07:45 AM
I think it's #2. But I'm certainly not sure about that. =)
Posted by: mote at August 28, 2006 07:51 AM
Well....
free and really nice travl almost never go together, so I'm having doubts about portions of all of them
but I'm goin' for 3 as the lie
Posted by: Helen at August 28, 2006 08:08 AM
They were all fun stories to read, but I'm going to guess #3 is the lie.
Posted by: May at August 28, 2006 08:16 AM
You sure do spin a good yarn! (har har) But I think I'll go with... number 2--the 2 kitchens sounds fishy
Posted by: Anne at August 28, 2006 08:18 AM
i'm going for number 1 as the lie. =]
Posted by: amy at August 28, 2006 08:20 AM
3. And you need a *good* vacation for a change!
Posted by: anne at August 28, 2006 08:21 AM
I think #3 is the lie.
Thanks for tagging me Cara. Now off to think up my truths and my lie.
Posted by: Kirsten at August 28, 2006 08:21 AM
hey, wait! I think you tricked us! (might have something to do with a comment you left on another blog?)
Posted by: anne at August 28, 2006 08:23 AM
I think #1 is a lie.
This is a very cool idea.
Posted by: Sarah at August 28, 2006 08:24 AM
I think the Maui trip is the lie. Not as much detail as the others
Posted by: linda at August 28, 2006 08:28 AM
Oooh, you're good. I'm going to say #2, but this is not an easy call. I'm going to spend all day second-guessing myself now! :)
Posted by: Thorny at August 28, 2006 08:30 AM
I'm guessing #1
Posted by: Diane at August 28, 2006 08:31 AM
I say #2 is the lie.
Have fun with Jenny and with your sis + kids!!
Posted by: Lolly at August 28, 2006 08:33 AM
Maybe I'm a big nerd (maybe?) but I think its the Katrina landfall date that's the lie, its only August 28th today. Who cares if the vacation stories are true, they're all good!
Posted by: gale (she shoots sheep shots) at August 28, 2006 08:50 AM
Tough call... But I'll say #2 is the lie.
Posted by: Savida at August 28, 2006 08:56 AM
Number 2!
Posted by: Jennifer at August 28, 2006 09:02 AM
Oh...they're all so good! I'm going for #1.
Posted by: Christine at August 28, 2006 09:10 AM
I have to say #2 - hotel room that big? especially for a trip that was won - yeah, #2
Posted by: Karen at August 28, 2006 09:11 AM
I say #1 is a lie,
Posted by: Jenny at August 28, 2006 09:16 AM
I've been lurking for a while. I can't remember if I've ever commented or not, but your knee socks are fab!
Being an opera singer, I can easily believe that the sound at a three tenors concert would be off. (never mind that Pavarotti should have retired years ago.)
Those free trips you win are never as good as they sound. That room just seems a bit too good to be true, so I think #2 is the lie.
I used to live in Spain. I can see how one would pick up a stray rash out there on the beach. (Although the topless part through me for a minute, but maybe only because I would never do it.)
Posted by: Tammany at August 28, 2006 09:18 AM
Maybe that's your story and you're sticking to it, but I say #1 is the lie.
Posted by: Sharon at August 28, 2006 09:24 AM
Number two. I think that's the tall tale.
Posted by: Jennifer at August 28, 2006 09:27 AM
C'mon Number 3! Don't know why, but that's what I'm pulling for! :)
Posted by: Sarah at August 28, 2006 09:27 AM
how fun!! i'm guessing #3. but only the lie about the free room....you got it at a discount.
Posted by: crankygrrrrrl at August 28, 2006 09:28 AM
I'm going to guess #2!
Posted by: Kat at August 28, 2006 09:28 AM
I LOVE this game I think #2 is the lie, as # is so far fetched it has to be true...right?
Posted by: carla at August 28, 2006 09:37 AM
Number two, ABSOLUTELY. No doubt about it.
[often wrong, but never in doubt . . .]
I read somewhere that Two Lies and a Truth is a way to get your kid to tell you in more detail about his day at school. Everybody in the car driving home tells two lies and a truth.
Of course, this does give your child excellent experience in learning how to lie convincingly.
Posted by: Ann at August 28, 2006 09:41 AM
I'm going with No. 2 on this one.
Posted by: Rise at August 28, 2006 09:44 AM
I'm voting #2. C'mon good karma, Wild Raspberry is my absolute FAVORITE color scheme!
Posted by: Kit at August 28, 2006 09:54 AM
I think #3 is th one.
Posted by: Judy Foldi at August 28, 2006 09:57 AM
Hmmmm, this is tricky...
I'll guess #3 is the lie.
Posted by: Carrie at August 28, 2006 10:01 AM
It's a close call but I'm going with #3. No special reason - they all sound off the wall.
Posted by: hillary at August 28, 2006 10:04 AM
Tough one. I'm going to guess number 2 is a lie.
Posted by: Rachel at August 28, 2006 10:06 AM
I would say #1's the lie, but the two places I've witnessed a purch-snatching are London and Philadelphia, so it's not completely unlikely. Although I'm not sure I buy the part about a robber opening the car door--especially in London, where cab drivers will run over pedestrians before they'll stop. So I'm back to saying #1.
Posted by: Martha at August 28, 2006 10:06 AM
Oops, I meant purse-snatching.
Posted by: Martha at August 28, 2006 10:07 AM
All very exciting stories, but I'll have to go with #2
Posted by: Allegra at August 28, 2006 10:07 AM
I'm guessing number 2 is the lie. Very interesting stories!
Posted by: Maryann at August 28, 2006 10:11 AM
I think #1 is the lie ...
Posted by: Danielle at August 28, 2006 10:17 AM
I vote numero uno!
Posted by: Vickery at August 28, 2006 10:30 AM
I'm guessing 2 and 3 are true and 1 is the lie.
Posted by: Leah at August 28, 2006 10:31 AM
I suck at this, but I'll say #1 is the lie, but you've been to some pretty awesome places & I have a bad memory, so this is a tough one. Speaking of Katrina & visitors, her cousin Ernesto is now planning to visit us. Nice way to spend a birthday huh? Have fun! I will miss my morning read at your place.
Posted by: Carol at August 28, 2006 10:33 AM
I think #2 is the lie, but whichever it is, you sure have more exciting vacations than I do!
Posted by: Vanessa at August 28, 2006 10:33 AM
I figure #3 is the lie, although with your fantastic story telling abilities, it is difficult to say!! Fun though:)
Posted by: Susanne at August 28, 2006 10:38 AM
I say #2 is the lie. Great stories all!
Posted by: sarai at August 28, 2006 10:38 AM
I'm so not guessing because they're all perfect. How can I choose which one you made up?
Posted by: Cordelia at August 28, 2006 10:39 AM
I think number 1 is the lie.
Posted by: Kat at August 28, 2006 10:40 AM
I think #3 is the lie, unless, of course, they are ALL lies!
Posted by: Debbie at August 28, 2006 10:43 AM
I have been lured out of lurking by the tempting prize. My vote is for #2. But all are great stories.
m
Posted by: missy at August 28, 2006 10:44 AM
I'd say #2. Its all good when its free isn't it?
Posted by: Siew at August 28, 2006 10:57 AM
I'll take a stab and say that # 3 is the lie. How cool to fly on the Concorde!
Posted by: victoria at August 28, 2006 10:58 AM
You're really good! I have no idea. I'll guess #3 is the lie.
Posted by: Carolyn at August 28, 2006 10:59 AM
They say truth is stranger than fiction, and #1 is very strange indeed, so I'm going to guess that it's true. Similarly #3 (a free room from a total stranger, just like that? Unlikely enough to be totally true.) So I'll go with #2 as the lie.
Posted by: Beth S. at August 28, 2006 11:05 AM
Number 2 sounds kind of normal, so I think this is the lie...............good one, though!
Posted by: christine at August 28, 2006 11:06 AM
I'm voting for number 2, but I do have to say that you've proven your fiction writing skills here.
Posted by: Jenna at August 28, 2006 11:08 AM
I think it is number three.
Posted by: Nichole R. at August 28, 2006 11:14 AM
I think it's number 2.
Posted by: Betsy M at August 28, 2006 11:19 AM
Number 1?
Posted by: Tina at August 28, 2006 11:24 AM
i think number 2 is the lie!
this makes me want to go on vacation! :D
Posted by: tammy at August 28, 2006 11:33 AM
I'm voting for number 3.
Posted by: Emily at August 28, 2006 11:38 AM
well, july 4th trip to britain? uhh... they lost that war. so I am saying that #1 is the lie. Good yarns all of them though.
Posted by: Dorothy at August 28, 2006 11:42 AM
3 as the lie.
Posted by: Tania at August 28, 2006 11:44 AM
I'm guessing No. 1 is the lie, because it sounds too believable. ;o)
Posted by: elizabeth at August 28, 2006 11:47 AM
Hmm . . . they're all such good stories! I think my guess is #2. Number one seems to have so much detail--who would think all that up?--and number three seems to have the smack of reality (again . . . although a free hotel room? Hmmm). Two, being the simplest story, is therefore my pick. But I'm fully prepared to be wrong! (grin)
Posted by: --Deb at August 28, 2006 11:54 AM
I'm going to go with #2 as the lie...I think....
Posted by: Imbrium at August 28, 2006 11:57 AM
I think number 2 is a big fat lie.
Posted by: anne at August 28, 2006 12:00 PM
I'll buy a vowel, Vanna. OOps, wrong game. How 'bout door, er lie, number 2.
Posted by: kathy in juneau at August 28, 2006 12:03 PM
You are awfully good at this; they all sound detailed enough to be true, wacky enough to be false (you should work for and/or go on wait, wait, don't tell me). I pick 1.
Posted by: Lucia at August 28, 2006 12:13 PM
I think #2 is a lie. Although all of them sound a bit far-fetched. If two of them are true -that's amazing.
Posted by: Sue at August 28, 2006 12:46 PM
#3 is the lie
Posted by: Vicki at August 28, 2006 12:52 PM
I'm guessing #2, although I'd like to believe they're all true and only portions or stetching it.
Posted by: Scribbles & Bits at August 28, 2006 12:54 PM
I've been visiting your blog for a few weeks... LOVE the changing photos at the top, and your interesting life through knitting! I say #1 is the lie. It's the only one that starts with 'once upon a time'.
Posted by: Sydney at August 28, 2006 12:58 PM
I'm guessing #1 is a lie because I somehow can't see you at a concert of "The Three Tenors." If I'm wrong, then I need to get to know you better.
Posted by: spider at August 28, 2006 01:04 PM
#1 is the lie, that is my final answer.
Posted by: Pamela Malpartida at August 28, 2006 01:16 PM
#1 is the lie, that is my final answer.
Posted by: Pamela Malpartida at August 28, 2006 01:16 PM
I think number 3 is the lie. I can't imagine you in Ibiza.
Posted by: Elise at August 28, 2006 01:17 PM
London's the lie. But all the travel stories are high-larious!
Posted by: E to the M at August 28, 2006 01:18 PM
I think that #2 is the lie.
Posted by: Melissa at August 28, 2006 01:19 PM
I think they are ALL truths. Although there was a bit many free trips in there, but I'm going with all true. Have a nice time with your guest.
Posted by: wavybrains at August 28, 2006 01:24 PM
I think #2 is a lie. I think. Yeah.
Posted by: susan at August 28, 2006 01:31 PM
All the stories are very good, but I'm going with # 3 as the lie.
Posted by: Regina at August 28, 2006 01:41 PM
I'm guessing number two as the lie. You're a good story teller though.
Posted by: Dorothy B at August 28, 2006 01:42 PM
Number 2 is the lie, I think! All great yarns, though!
Posted by: Lori at August 28, 2006 01:43 PM
I'm going to guess that #2 is bogus...
Posted by: Dawn at August 28, 2006 01:50 PM
I'm going to go with 3 being the lie.
So hard to pick!
Posted by: elizabeth at August 28, 2006 01:59 PM
The three of them are such well woven tales, I am going to go with no. 2.
Posted by: Isela at August 28, 2006 02:01 PM
My guess is #3. They're all pretty convincing, though.
Posted by: PBnJ at August 28, 2006 02:03 PM
My guess is #3, but they are all good stories.
Posted by: Brenda at August 28, 2006 02:09 PM
I'll go with #2 as the lie. All 3 are quite entertaining!
Posted by: Claire at August 28, 2006 02:15 PM
My answer is that # 1 is the lie. I won't tell you why until after the guessing is closed though!
Posted by: sgeddes at August 28, 2006 02:17 PM
Gotta go with #3 as the lie...but I'm not sure why I think so.
Posted by: pj at August 28, 2006 02:18 PM
So your experiment worked - having a contest for free yarn IS the perfect way to get lurkers to come out of hiding. (giggle)
I guess #3 is the lie, partially because a sunburned chest is a horrible fate and I hope it didn't actually happen to you.
Posted by: Wendy M. at August 28, 2006 02:32 PM
#2 is the lie. I think. Not that I don't think G is good at tennis.
Posted by: jeannette at August 28, 2006 02:35 PM
I think #1's the lie -- I'm too jealous if it's true!
Posted by: Laura Y. at August 28, 2006 02:36 PM
Wow! All three sound unbelievable, but I am going with 2 as the lie.
Posted by: Mindy at August 28, 2006 02:53 PM
I'm thinking #2 is the lie, but they all sound like wild times!
Posted by: Rachel at August 28, 2006 02:59 PM
I'm thinking #2 is the lie, but they all sound like wild times!
Posted by: Rachel at August 28, 2006 02:59 PM
No way you saw David Spade. Definitely #2.
Posted by: kmkatt at August 28, 2006 02:59 PM
Love the way you did this, Cara. You should get tagged more often- I'm seeing to it! I'm going with #2. There was just something different about the writing on that one... Dude, you get a lot of comments!
Posted by: JulieFrick at August 28, 2006 03:02 PM
Wow... You're good; I have no idea which one's made up so I'll have to make a total guess and say #3.
Posted by: Su at August 28, 2006 03:06 PM
I say number 2 is the lie. I have no reason, just sounds the least covincing.
Posted by: sarah at August 28, 2006 03:21 PM
i think the first is the lie...why would anyone travel to the country we are celebrating independence from on our independence day? then again, maybe that is why this is really a trick question...hmmmmmm, still i choose that one!
Posted by: kaetlyn at August 28, 2006 03:26 PM
I'm going with #2 as the lie??
Posted by: Pat at August 28, 2006 03:38 PM
Hrmm... You make this too hard! I'm guessing number 1.
Posted by: Natalia at August 28, 2006 03:43 PM
Wow, hard to pick but I'm guessing #1!
Posted by: Jane J at August 28, 2006 03:57 PM
Could it be #2?
Posted by: gwynne at August 28, 2006 04:04 PM
I'm guessing #3. Let me know when your book is published 'cause you told two very true and intrigueing stories AND made up a 3rd. Bravo!!!
Posted by: Robin at August 28, 2006 04:15 PM
Oooooh fun! I think Number 2 is the lie. 2 kitchens just sounds wrong!
Posted by: Gem at August 28, 2006 04:19 PM
#3. ... yeah, number 3. :)
Posted by: Lyssa at August 28, 2006 04:23 PM
Cara, look what you started! I think 3 is the fictional story. All very funny though...or at least after the fact.
Posted by: Nancy Hart at August 28, 2006 04:32 PM
I'm gonna go with story, um vacation #1. Sadly I never believe a story that starts with 'Once upon a time..."!!!!!
Posted by: Gina D. at August 28, 2006 04:34 PM
Those are great stories! I was thoroughly entertained. My complete wild ass guess is that #1 is the lie.
Posted by: Evelyn at August 28, 2006 04:44 PM
I think #2 is the lie.
Posted by: Kim at August 28, 2006 05:04 PM
I think #1 is the lie... but that means the other two are TRUE, which seems pretty unbelievable, too!
Posted by: Anne at August 28, 2006 05:27 PM
Good tales, all, but I'm guessing that #2 is the lie.
Posted by: Angela at August 28, 2006 05:32 PM
I'm thinking #1 is the lie. You're a darn good liar!
Posted by: Deepa at August 28, 2006 05:41 PM
Definitely #1 is a lie. And if not, I'm jealous as all hell! Even though a weekend in England is not near enough. Hell I need a weekend just to get over jetlag
Posted by: La at August 28, 2006 05:42 PM
Good writers make the best liars. You're good!
I close my eyes, circle my hand, and pick. . . . . number TWO! (I mean, c'mon, David SPADE????)
Posted by: inky at August 28, 2006 05:45 PM
Three!! I'm only guessing! you are a fantastic liar. ;-)
Posted by: margaux at August 28, 2006 06:23 PM
Nice job! Regardless of which one is true the other 2 must have made for some very interesting trips...! I guess #2.
Posted by: Erin at August 28, 2006 06:30 PM
I guess that #3 is a lie. Great choices though!
Posted by: Jenn at August 28, 2006 07:34 PM
Tall tale at No. Two, I'll guess.
Posted by: jpknits at August 28, 2006 07:36 PM
Fun adventures, every one, but I'm saying #1 is the fib.
Posted by: Beth at August 28, 2006 07:38 PM
I have to say #1. :)
Posted by: Stacie at August 28, 2006 07:47 PM
The idea of your making Contact with space creatures before Jodie Foster gets the chance--and in a Concorde--is oddly reassuring. It's kind of too good to be true.
Posted by: Cristina at August 28, 2006 07:54 PM
i'm going with #2
Posted by: jody at August 28, 2006 08:06 PM
I think no. 1 is the lie because that seems to be the story with the most detail.
Posted by: Marilyn Amick at August 28, 2006 08:31 PM
heh, I will go with 1
Posted by: Rachel at August 28, 2006 08:50 PM
#3 is the lie. :)
Posted by: Samantha at August 28, 2006 09:05 PM
I guess #1.
Told you I'd be back!
Posted by: Juliet at August 28, 2006 09:10 PM
I'm totally voting for story #1
Posted by: Sea Anemone at August 28, 2006 09:15 PM
I think # 3 is the lie. :)
Posted by: Irina at August 28, 2006 09:15 PM
I would guess Number 3. Number 2 is believable ... almost. It's that second kitchen that gives me pause. I've seen suites in that hotel but never one w/ 2 kitchens. So I'm just waffling here between Number 3 and Number 2. Okay, Sally, make up your damned mind. Eeny meeny, miny mo. Number 2. It's number 2.

Great stories! Love your blog too. I say #2 is the lie.
Posted by: Cindy at August 28, 2006 09:35 PM
All of the stories are really good. I keep changing my guess... I'm going to go with #3.
Posted by: LIz at August 28, 2006 09:38 PM
3. You don't seem like the topless type. Not that you wouldn't look fabulous, you just don't seem like you would. Won't I be embarassed if I'm wrong.
Posted by: jenifleur at August 28, 2006 10:04 PM
They all seem too good/awful to be true but I choose #3 as the lie!
Posted by: Patti at August 28, 2006 10:06 PM
Gotta be #1 for the lie
Posted by: Fran at August 28, 2006 10:11 PM
Well, technically the lie is before #1. The anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is Tuesday, August 29th. If that's not it, I have no idea.
Posted by: Jocelyn at August 28, 2006 10:20 PM
#1 is a lie for my vote
Posted by: nat at August 28, 2006 10:38 PM
Creo que numero uno es la mentira. Yes, #1 is the lie!
Posted by: Karen B. at August 28, 2006 10:45 PM
I'm going to guess #3 is the lie.
Posted by: Beth at August 28, 2006 11:00 PM
de-lurkers get 2 chances, right?
#3 is the lie.
luvya!
Posted by: Tola at August 28, 2006 11:02 PM
Jeepers creepers, look at all these peepers!
I guess #2. Or #1. Or #3.
No, #2. That's my final answer.
Posted by: Vicki at August 28, 2006 11:02 PM
I just can't decide which one is the lie, so I went on with the tool you used for your Chance Log Cabin: the random number generator!!! Seeing the wonderful results you got with it for the said log cabin, I can't but trust it, and it tells me your lie is #2.
Posted by: Josiane at August 28, 2006 11:03 PM
I think #1 is a lie.
Posted by: Sandy at August 28, 2006 11:29 PM
I think #3 is a lie, but it sounds like a place I'd definately WANT to stay.
Posted by: Perri at August 28, 2006 11:29 PM
Number 2!
But great yarns all, true or not. You certainly have had some travel experiences to write home about!
Posted by: not an artist at August 28, 2006 11:57 PM
I say #3 is the lie.
Posted by: Angelia at August 29, 2006 12:56 AM
I vote for #3 as the lie.
And you are a VERY GOOD liar. Amazing....
Posted by: Knitting Painter Woman at August 29, 2006 12:57 AM
#1, unless that "once upon a time" is a way to throw the old English Teachers off.
Posted by: Mary at August 29, 2006 12:57 AM
Hilarious! I think #3 is the lie. Who knows!
Posted by: Becky at August 29, 2006 02:29 AM
I think that #1 is the lie, but the way you told them made them all seem believable.
Posted by: Kristina at August 29, 2006 07:15 AM
#2 is the lie.
Posted by: Lori at August 29, 2006 07:31 AM
I'm going to guess that #2 is the lie.
Posted by: Kara at August 29, 2006 08:04 AM
I'm going with #3.
Posted by: liz at August 29, 2006 08:51 AM
My guess is #3 for the lie, although your stories were good for all three!
Posted by: Diana at August 29, 2006 09:02 AM
number 3! i pick number 3!
although all your stories kinda sound like lies! you are sooooo good
Posted by: adrienne at August 29, 2006 09:51 AM
You're lying about Maui. Liar liar liar. I think you made up the line "feathery asses". Even if you hate seagulls (excusable), you can't dismiss colorful tropical birds so blithely. So there you have it. Liar.
Posted by: Katherine at August 29, 2006 12:17 PM
I'm guessing # 3 is the lie.
Posted by: Patti at August 29, 2006 12:38 PM
By the way, I posted a TTAAL if you feel like playing along on mine!
Posted by: Scribbles & Bits at August 29, 2006 12:58 PM
#1 thought it sounds very convincing.
Posted by: Kathy at August 29, 2006 01:09 PM
I think #3 is the lie but it's so hard to decide. You must be a very good liar!! ;)
Posted by: Leah at August 29, 2006 01:25 PM
I'm guessing #1... but all three were entertaining stories!
Posted by: meghan at August 29, 2006 01:35 PM
I think #1 is the lie
Posted by: emily at August 29, 2006 02:08 PM
Nothing like a contest to bring out lurkers! I guess #1.
Posted by: Kim at August 29, 2006 02:31 PM
I think the least outrageous is the lie, #2. You strike me as one of those people Things Happen To.
Posted by: Sylvia at August 29, 2006 03:08 PM
#2 is the lie.... but i loved them all!
Posted by: jen at August 29, 2006 03:30 PM
#1 is the lie.
Posted by: Laurie at August 29, 2006 03:52 PM
#2 is the lie.
Posted by: Michele in Maine at August 29, 2006 04:27 PM
I vote on number 3 as the lie.
Posted by: Joan K at August 29, 2006 04:51 PM
Hmmm, tough choice, but I'm going with #3 - just a hunch.
Posted by: Sue at August 29, 2006 05:05 PM
I haven't a clue. You lie like a master. No really, I meant that as a compliment. By the way, you totally made me snort tea out my nose. Thanks.
Posted by: Stephanie at August 29, 2006 05:07 PM
Number 3.
Posted by: Teresa C at August 29, 2006 05:08 PM
I think that #2 is the lie.
Posted by: Shelly at August 29, 2006 05:53 PM
I am going for number 2 because for number 1, I've been to London many times and that would be the way things would happen (when you are in a car) and the Three Tenors were playing at Wembley over a 4th holiday when the Concord was flying (but you could have Googled that). For number 3, bizare things like this happen . . . but being remembering you saw David Spade in Hawaii - too good by far.
Posted by: Ava at August 29, 2006 07:45 PM
1 and 3, though crazy, are true. 2 is the lie.
Posted by: Mary de B at August 29, 2006 08:20 PM
One, thank you.
Posted by: Diane E. at August 29, 2006 08:29 PM
I vote number two as the lie
you write so well and tell such a good tale I had a hard time selecting!!
Posted by: Stephanie at August 29, 2006 08:46 PM
For no particular reason, I'm voting for #2 as the lie.
Posted by: hyperfine at August 29, 2006 08:58 PM
I'm going with #3 but I'm really torn with #2.
Posted by: Jenn at August 29, 2006 09:02 PM
I'm guessing 2 is the lie. Crime and itching just seem like real vacation things.
Posted by: Susan at August 29, 2006 09:08 PM
I think #2 is a lie. I love this game . . . ;o)
Posted by: Annalea at August 29, 2006 09:33 PM
ooo goodness, they all sound so 'remembered'. i'm guessing #2 is untruth. then that would mean that you really did go topless!?!
Posted by: rebecca at August 29, 2006 10:37 PM
I *think* #3 is the lie. Please let me be right, I really want the wool!
Posted by: Val at August 30, 2006 02:10 AM
I'm going with number 1.
Posted by: Lizzy B at August 30, 2006 09:40 AM
I'm going with #2!
Posted by: Patty at August 30, 2006 10:23 AM
I think that number three is true.
Posted by: Elysium at August 30, 2006 01:24 PM
I think #3 is the lie.
Posted by: Reagan Costen at August 30, 2006 02:28 PM
I think truth 1 & 3, lie #2.
And if I'm wrong, we need to play some balderdash together.
