My Firepants are on Fire
In the interest of adding another award to my shelf, I am participating in The Hobbler’s recent challenge to be the Best Liar. The best thing about this award is that there are no rules. So, I am going to make my own. Because I like to be in control.
Like The Hobbler, I will tell you 6 things, three of which are true and three of which are lies.
Unlike The Hobbler, I am not going to put the award on my shelf unless I’ve fooled everyone who guesses. (Well, technically, The Hobbler does not have a shelf – so I guess she couldn’t do that anyway.) Your job is to, of course, find the truths. If you guess correctly, you’ve got yourself a prized “I Wonderbutt, Do You?” award. If no one guesses correctly, I get to add another knick knack to my shelf.
So, here you go:
- I once played Ebenezer Scrooge in the musical, “Scrooged.”
- I voted for George W. the first time, but not the second.
- I was voted Most Intelligent in my Senior class.
- I moonlighted as Shot Girl in a country western bar my first couple of years of teaching.
- My favorite movie as a teenager was Dirty Dancing. I watched it approximately 113 3/4 times.
- I have never watched Animal House.
Alrighty then. The gauntlet has been thrown, and the challenge issued. I am looking forward to sticking that Best Liar award on my shelf. If you should defeat me, however, I will accept being a loser with grace – though I might send Wonderbutt to drool on you. I am suffering from Diet Coke withdrawal right now, so I’m a bit unpredictable.
By the way, feel free to take on the Best Liar challenge on your own blog. I am hoping you will so I will have more information with which to stalk you be more informed about my fellow bloggers 😉

Dirty dancing, Most intelligent & scrooged are my guesses for the lies. dirty dancing b/c you actually watched it far more than 113 3/4 times, most intelligent not b/c I don’t think you would have been voted that way but rather b/c people don’t really do that viting thing anymore but it sounds cool & scrooged b/c that was a movie w Bill Murray, the musical was A Christmas Carol. I realize I didn’t have to put my rationals, and they may be way off, but that’s how I came to my conclusions. Therefore, voted for GW once but not twice, moonlighted as a shot girl & never seen Animal House are the truths.
Hmm. Interesting rationale. As my first commenter, I see that you are aiming for a second Wonderbutt trophy. All will be revealed soon!
Ok, I’m voting 1, 4, & 5 are true; but since there are no rules, if those happen to be wrong, then you have to actually do those things (as much as possible now) so that I am still right. I guess that would be a rule though…well, it was worth a shot.
Nice try, though!
I vote 2, 3 and 5 are true. I did this too and it was fun! 😀
I liked yours! Very clever!
I vote for 3,4,5….if 4 and 5 are true that would make 3 an even better hoot!
There are definitely some anomalies in there, I will grant you that.
Sunday morning and you want me to think?? You’re nuts, lady.
I am nuts – but not for that reason!
I fail at guessing things, so they’re all lies.
You’re dissin’ yourself for being a bad guesser, now?!!!! You need a pick-me-up, girl!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AWARD! 🙂
As for picking out the lies from the truths.. hmmm… I think all you told us is the truth! *big smile* 🙂
I’m off to polish our Wonderbutt Award and thinking on how to make it two! 🙂
Your friends,
The Collies and Chuck 🙂
Thanks! You still have a chance! Until I reveal the answers, anyone can get the award if they are right – even if there are multiple correct readers.
2, 5, 6. Numbers 2 and 3 are mutually exclusive. 🙂
So, are 2, 5, and 6 the lies or the truths?
Watch her…she’s a good guesser.
Truths.
I’m going with 2, 5, and 6 are true now…
5, 8 and 22.9 are obviously false.
2, 3.14 and 1/3 are true.
2, 3, and 6 are true.
Lies: 2, 4, 6.
I say the lies are 2, 4, and 6, too.
Hmmm……lies: 1 2 6, the only one I’m hoping is a lie is number 2. I have no love for The Dubya.
I’m not very good at this type of thing. I have sniffed them all and 3, 4 and 6 don’t smell right 🙂
