And for Jessica I'm going to guess number 1 is the lie. I've NEVER heard you ever mention running.

2) I've never broken a bone

A few more facts about myself:
1). Jay-Z could release an all blank album and I'd still listen to it.
2). Quentin Tarantino could relase an all blank movie and I'd still watch it .
3). Jack Daniels could release an all empty bottle and I'd still drink it.
That's where I'm at tonight.

@Stratton - 1 is your lie. Why is so many of us being from Kentucky such a shock? You know we know how to read, no matter what they like to say on sitcoms.
@Averydoll - I'd say 1 is your lie, and 2 is somehow true only as a result of some convoluted logic that doesn't involve a court order that specifically addressed your internet usage.
@Bek - I'm guessing 2 is your lie.
@Renee - I'm guessing 1 is a lie.
@Strange - You can edit the rules in the first post.
@Utah - I think 1 is your lie.
@Matt - B is your lie.
@Mess_Jess - I think three is your lie.
@Sean of the Dead - I don't think you are related to Eddie Vedder.

Rules question - Are we supposed to tell people as they guess or wait 24 hours so those who want to can try?

Guess it's better than the alternative. Overthinking, that is.
In rules terms, though, if someone guesses your lie, you have to admit it as soon as you can. You only wait 24 hours if no one guesses. Once 24 hours passes, if no one has guessed, then you get 30 points. If, at that time, your lie still isn't guessed, I think you should just keep quiet and enjoy your 30 points, while your lie is still up for being guessed until it's guessed.
Yes, I'm making up the points system as I go, and will likely lose track of who has what score, but we're having fun, right?
Oh, and the harvesting of body parts is not something I will lose track of. Better stock up on Betadyne if you don't want to get sepsis.

I've actually looked back at the OP, and the 'Edit' button that is typically at the bottom right of every self-post in a thread doesn't appear for me on this, so I'm not sure how to alter the rules listed in the OP.
Frankly, the points system/when to guess is less a priority than the avenue this 'game' provides for getting to know more about each other without all the pesky late night window peeking and restraining orders.
If you people are really jazzed about points and shit, I suppose I can actually keep a ledger and really put some effort into determining who has what score at any given time - but if I'm gonna do that for you, I want some motherfucking ears and fingers when people break the rules that require the harvesting of said appendages.
Ears are a bit chewy, but make great necklace ornaments when dried out. Fingers are mainly just good for flavoring soup stock.

Ah, ok, cool. Thanks, Dwayne, I didn't even think to look elsewhere. I just figured that original posts were prevented from editing so that people couldn't change whatever it is that others then respond to.
Now comes the question of whether or not I should bother to change the OP, and really take this seriously enough to keep track of scores, or just let it continue to be a game in principle only.

The thing is, I don't want it to finish. I want it to carry on ad infinitum.
So, as such, your points are meaningless, in that they will never be in a place where they can be stacked up against others to see who wins because all tallies will be forever in a state of flux.

I'm a vegetarian, no bacon here!
Strange Photon
from Fort Wayne, IN is reading Laurie Anderson lyricsApril 3, 2013 - 6:58am
Ok, I did go back and reread the entire thread to tally scores.
As of my writing of this post, the scores are as follows:
Mess_Jess - 20 (10 for guessing Moon's, and 10 for guessing Sean's)
Beka - 10 (10 for guessing Avery's)
Dwayne - 10 (10 for guessing Sound's. Moon would've gotten it, but he listed two guesses at once.)
Moon - 10 (just now got his 10 for guessing Jess's)
If you think you deserved points, chances are you guessed someone's lie after it was already guessed. The 10 points for guessing correctly only applies for the FIRST person to guess correctly. After that, even if you didn't know someone had already guessed, you're SOL.
If no one has guessed your lie after 24 hours are up, please indicate that fact here so I can award you 30 points - but don't tell us which one is the lie as people can still be the first to guess it and earn the 10 points.

I haven't sent anything out for publication in nearly 7 years and I plan on changing that this year. I have a 5-year-old son who teaches me the meaning of pain by leaving legos everywhere.
2 truths and a lie:
1. I was kicked out of the Sistine Chapel by a Swiss guard for slapping someone and saying "fuck" (it echoes in there).
2. I have six cats, all named after serial killers
3. I'm married to a man who is 6' 6" and cleans up blood for a living.

And I wasn't insinuating all of my fellow Kentucky brethren were inbred illiterates. I'm well aware some of us lean toward the condescendingly-pretentious-grammar-Nazi side of the matter. So, no offense. If we were all from North Dakota, it would also be surprising.
