ENLIGHTENMENT



I took this photo at a filbert farm (that would be hazel nuts to some of you) we hiked around a couple of weeks back.  Doesn't it look like there is some enlightenment waiting at the end down there?



I don’t do memes very often.  Mostly because some bloggers don’t enjoy doing them.  But this one was fun… and you don’t have to take it up if you don’t want to… but if  you want to, have at it!

The object is for me to tell you ten statements that may or may not be lies or truth.  You get to decide which is a lie or not.  You may respond to this anyway you wish… as individual shots or all inclusive.  One or none.

1)      I had Randy pee in my composter.


2)      When I was in third grade I went to see the Grand Canyon… my biggest thrill there was getting a Schwan’s ice cream bar from the snack shack.


3)      As a young child, I shook JFK’s hand.  As a young teenager, I shook his brother Robert’s hand.  Both died shortly after shaking my hand… and for a long time I wondered if they would have lived if I had not shaken their hands.


4)      I used to boil my silverware to be sure it was clean.


5)      Sean Connery is one of my favorite actors… but I have NEVER seen a James Bond movie.


6)      I was spanked only twice by my parents… both times it was for painting our basset hound pink.


7)      I was a dirt connoisseur… and could tell which part of our yard I was in by tasting the dirt.  My brother enjoyed showing this talent off to his friends by leading me around in a blindfold and testing me.


8)      I can juggle four objects at a time.


9)      I like to start my Sunday morning with a coffee laced with whiskey and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream… then do devotions in a more relaxed state.


10)  I have NEVER broken a bone in my body.  ( A severed toe does not count… that bone was cut, not broken.)

Okay... what do you think?

  2. hee hee! Well, it is awfully tempting to just think they are all true, but here are my guesses...
    False: 1, 4, 5, 6, 9
    True: 2, 3, 7, 8, 10

    Yep, that's pretty much what he looked like, only drippy.

  4. laura b-- This one is so much fun! I love a good lie as much as I love a good story... providing of course that the lie is for entertainment and not able to hurt anyone. ;-)

  5. I'm just going to take a wild stab and assume you didn't pee in Randy's composter. I like to play it safe. Hee hee.

  6. Churlita-- Hahahaha! I can't get my ass up that high! Randy has the proper equipment for the task... but did he do it for me?

  7. All-- Oops! I think I gave one away. Well, crap.

  8. I think you gave the basset-hound one away too!

  9. dmarks-- That's the one I thought I gave away. Ha! I got to laughing and it did me in.

  10. C4C-- Oh you know me sooooooo weellll!!!! You almost got it right. But I'm not saying which ones. hee hee

  11. "I got to laughing and it did me in. "

    Laughing hasn't even commented yet, and she did you in. Amazing.

    I had thought you had given away the Randy one (which I had first misread about being about someone peeing on a computer), but I read it now, and see that it is not given away yet.

  12. What? What? What? How am I supposed to know this stuff?

  13. Heh, heh... glad you took this one up. Why not? I'd think they're mostly true. I could imagine pee helping the composting process, but i'm not sure. I wonder about the silverware and the juggling - I'd guess no but i suppose they're possible. #9 probably not also, but it sounds like a good idea ;-)

    Painting the dog is too weird to be false, even without the tip. I hear it goes easier to pick them up by the ears, LBJ style, and spray 'em, though.

  14. 9 is true for sure. the rest could go either way.

  15. This stuff is all good. I'm digging the many variations on this meme being done by so many folks. It is truly one of the more fun memes.

    I'll guess that 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, and 10 are true. Hell, I guess they all could be. And, a severed toe? Have I heard that story before? Yowtchie!

  16. 1,2,5,6,9,10

    The picture is cool. We saw something like that today, but it was crepe myrtle.

  17. I have JFK's chair in my living room. True or false? Ooops. sorry. I really need to make a guess on these:

    Let me see

  18. I don't know what to think but the one about the basset hound made me chuckle out loud. I honestly think all of them are true but I am sure you embellished a couple to throw off your loyal readers.

  19. Cube-- Its okay. I'm just having fun lying guilt free.

  20. Cricket-- Ha! Next time I paint a basset I will do it that way!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Cricket-- You are pretty darned amazing as a lie detector!

  23. Suldog-- You may have heard that one...I'll locate it for you. ;-)

  24. laughing--Thank you. Were the crepe myrtle blooming? That would be pretty.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Mr.Shife-- I knew you would get a kick out of the basset tale. Ha!
    Is there anything better than a corny pun?
