1. Thank the person who gave this to you.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.

Ahh… but are these 6 lies and 1 truth, or the opposite? Let the games begin!

2. I was once seen rappelling from the top of an amusement park ride
3. My other half is called Captain Freakin’ America
4. I have raced with ducks
5. I once fished for ‘skivvies’ with pirates
6. I own the grade-school edition of the Necronomicon
7. I rode an inflatable alligator inside of a hotel elevator
Now to pick victims awardees. Hmm…let’s see. Who might be good liars?
Techtiggers' Soapbox 
Those are some nice, outrageous statements – but I can’t decide if they’re truths or lies! Although, if #2 is true then I bow down to you. I could also see you doing #7… heh heh
I’m going to say that they are all truths except for #1. See my wild opinion of you?
Those are really good!! I just love reading though everyone’s lies! I can see why we all chose fiction writing so we get to lie all the time.
I could see a few of these as true, I love to think of your other half as Captain Freakin’ America, who have them that name? if that is true
I think fishing for skivvies with pirates would be great fun & I love the visuals of their reactions everytime they get a “hot one”
But, I think I will go for the kippered herring snacks as true, too.
Ohh, either pirates or the inflammable alligator… Can’t imagine you doing anything mundane anymore. Not after Nox and Grimm, ehh. ;D
It’s got to be the inflatable alligator – what a vivid image that is!
Congratulations on your award!
Time for some answers behind the lie (and the truth!)
1: I, like Garfield, enjoy kippered herring snacks – TRUE
Love sardines, kippered herring, sushi… I am just careful not to breath on anyone after I eat them 🙂
2. I was once seen rappelling from the top of an amusement park ride – TRUE
I have the dubious honor of taking the last ride on the monorail at the Philadelphia Zoo – it broke down, caught on fire, and the Fire Department couldn’t get a hook&ladder through to us. So they suited us up in rappelling gear and got us off it 🙂
3. My other half is called Captain Freakin’ America
4th of July block party with the neighbors. Houses wreathed in smoke from fireworks. Scott has on a WWII army helmet, a Captain America shirt, 3d glasses and a scotch in hand, while fireing a signalling cannon as the finale. Then the fire marshall arrived – the look on his face was priceless! Scott has been Captain Freakin’ America ever since 🙂
4. I have raced with ducks – TRUE
Vacationing on Vancouver Island, took a zodiac tour & raced across the water, flanked by ducks.
5. I once fished for ’skivvies’ with pirates – TRUE
Renaissance Festival – knew the pirate crew. They were tossing out cards attached to strings that said, “If you can read this, HAND US YOUR SKIVVIES!” The funny part was, when someone in a skirt or kilt said they weren’t wearing any, the pirates would yell, PROVE IT! 😀
6. I own the grade-school edition of the Necronomicon – TRUE
The Toy Vault made a stuffed Necronomicon, complete with a hand-puppet shoggoth and a squeaky toy to simulate the horns of Mad Azathoth.
7. I rode an inflatable alligator inside of a hotel elevator – FALSE
High school trip to Florida, a hurricane kept us off the beach. So my freind, determined to get some surfing in, bought an iflatable alligator pool raft and rode it up and down the hotel elevators. I just stood by and laughed 😉
Haha! Fantastic that almost all your lies were actually truths! Wait, if you’re such a good liar, how can I trust you? eh? eh? lol ;D
