Two Truths, One Lie.
The first one is a lie, Cat. As far as this Bregus person goes...I honestly have no idea where that came from.

Haha! Correct - I was banned from the brownies on my first day for being a disruptive influence!!
Dolly - wise - She was a lovely lady, she'd lost her microphone down the front of a very tight corset with not enough time to go back to the wardrobe department so it was my job to retrieve it. She didn't seem to mind, I wasn't particularly keen - much to the amusement of all the guys I was working with, I don't think I can post the comments they were making over my headset at the time!
Wow, that's a cool story! I guess it's my turn.1. I've been shot at in anger.
2. I once dated a world-famous singer.
3. My current band has signed a record contract.
What kind of maniac would want to fire a gun at you, Ryan?! That's messed up!
Psssh, I almost chose 3, you wouldn't be here if your band has signed a contract.
My turn!I have autographed memorabilia from…
1. Buckcherry
2. Eric Christian Olsen
3. Thom Hartmann
Haha, it's a messed up world, Garrison. I'd miss you all too much if I left, Leslie.
Number 1?
Nicky, I’m shocked, simply shocked! Please supply more details.
I want to know who the famous singer is that Ryan dated.
Garrison, No. 2?
Me too, I want to know who the singer is.
Me too, I want to know who the singer is.
I’m not familiar with any of the people Garrison named. They must have achieved celebrity status after the 1980’s.
A gentleman never kisses and tells. Sorry, that kills the whole story I guess ;)
Leslie's right: the lie was number two. I have a Buckcherry poster with autographs from the members and a Thom Hartmann book called "Walking Your Blues Away" where he personally signed the inside cover for me. Following Eric Christian Olsen on Twitter didn't bear any fruit, because I couldn't get him to reply to any of my Tweets. So no autographs there.
Me too, Kit-Kat! Me too! He's awesome as Deeks! :)

It's not as interesting as it sounds compressed into one sentence actually it's a little sad!
My friends were in the brownies so I persuaded my mum to take me. It was held early evening after school when we would have usually been out playing. It was a beautiful sunny, summers evening and the old fossil that ran it suggested we stay inside and do flower arranging. I was usually quite a polite child so although I can't remember the exact wording of the exchange I imagine I put my hand up and asked something along the lines of 'couldn't we play outside instead?' where upon my mother was called to come and collect me and told I wasn't the sort of girl they would except in the brownies as I was a disruptive influence!!
As I was only seven I couldn't really explain to my Mum what had happened and so I never went again. Looking back now I wonder why my Mum didn't make more of a fuss about it - I don't know if she was embarrassed or just thought maybe if it was run like that we'd be better off not going. Now as an adult myself I wonder if something else was going on that as a child I wouldn't have picked up on - like my be the other adults there had also suggested that flower arranging might not be the best activity that evening and I was just the unfortunate scape goat!!
So anyway, no badges for me!
Right we need a new set of clues!How about...
1) I once spent the morning surrounded by half naked firemen.
2) I was once made to spend the week with a knotted rope around my wrist.
3) I once spent a month with a group of naked gardeners.
Garrison wrote: "Leslie already got it, Nicky. It's two."Hi Yeah, sorry I deleted it - my computer sometimes seems to take a few minutes to catch up for some reason and I start replying and then the new post appears - it keeps catching me out!
Garrison wrote: "Me too, Kit-Kat! Me too! He's awesome as Deeks! :)"Indeed! Can't wait 'til the next episode. I NEED MORE DENSI. Haha.
Nicky, I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that the first one is a lie. Kit-Kat, I also need more Densi. They're my favorite couple on TV! ^_^
Number 3? (As interesting as it sounds...)
Lol, okay, I'll go for No. 3 :)
I'll bite; I think number 3 is the lie.Garrison; they're one of my favorites too. So much chemistry. I hope it really happens, though it'll be interesting to see how their working relationship will be affected by it.
OWEN GRANGER: The beginning of the end?HENRIETTA LANGE: The end of the beginning.
What do you think they mean by that, Kat?
I've no idea, and it's killing me! I think Granger thinks that this is going to end in disaster, but Hetty seems to think that it might blossom. What do you think they meant?
Hi, yep you're all correct - number 3 is the lie. I met the 'naked gardeners' a few times but only for a few minutes! The were very nice folks, very knowledgeable about gardening if you manage not to get distracted!
I was thinking the same thing, Kat. I just wasn't sure at first because it was an ambiguous way to end that episode. Then again, ambiguity is an artist's best friend.
I'm just glad today's finally Tuesday! Haha.
I think NCIS is taking the week off this time. When I watched the episodes last week, they didn't say "Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode." like they normally do. You know what that means. :(
Now it’s time to get a little dark here.1. I’ve been suspended from middle school for fighting other students.
2. I’ve been in high school detention for being frequently late to class.
3. I’ve been suspended from college for threatening my geology teacher.
Hmm... I'd say Number 3 is the lie.
Ding, ding, ding! Nicky got it! The second one was the lie!
I knew number 3 couldn't be a lie, I had a geology teacher once. It was a summer class, and she was so demanding I lasted just until the break then walked (well ran like my pants were on fire really)to the register's office to withdraw from the class. Had I stayed any longer I would've done more than threaten though.
That's partly why I call it "Ge-y'all-ogy" instead of geology. It's not much of a parody, but it works for me.
Hi Garrison,I don't know why but you didn't strike me as a late for class kind of guy!
I like this thread too and I was waiting for a new set of cues but none have appeared so...how about these
1) I have a jar of Consecrated Marmalade in my cupboard.
2) I have shared a bed with a Nun.
3) I met Jesus for a coffee and he arrived on a bike.
I’m guessing the second one is the lie. Priests will consecrate just about anything, and there are a lot of people named Jesus.
Okay, if number two is true, will you tell us the story? :)~ Tell us all the stories, Nicky~ :)
Hi Guys!M's right really, she wasn't a Nun any more as she'd been excommunicated by the Pope!
I bought the marmalade at a roadside cafe recently and it made us smile that the label said 'Blessed by Father David' - we wondered if it was just that particular jar he'd blessed or whether he had a habit of blessing all preserves.
the other stories were when I was filming in Oberammergau ( they have a Passion Play there)We didn't get back to the Hotel till very late and there was a mix up with the rooms - one of us had to share with the presenter (a lovely lady who had been in a convent for her whole life until being excommunicated at age 57 for publishing an article someone was offended by)anyway as the only girl on the crew again I had to share with her!
We interviewed 'Jesus' in the coffee shop and the weird thing in the village there is that they are all have biblical beards etc so he arrived in costume on his bike!
Right, come on then - whose turn is it now before I run out of anecdotes?!

What a story. You should write short stories. :)~

Nicky, you make films! I’m in awe. I think that’s the coolest thing anyone could ever do.
I once caught a flower bouquet at a wedding.
I got married.
