One of These Things is Not Like the Other
A Meme about me, first seen at The Chrysalis Stage: All of the below statements are true, except for one. You're job is to tell me in a comment which ones you have in common with me and which one you think I didn't do.
1. I have had a job as a night watchman
2. I have lived in a bus
3. I have jumped naked through a hole in an ice covered pond.
4. I have vitiligo
5. I've rode in a helicopter over the Grand Canyon.
6. I met Jessica Lange.
7. I've made herbal medicine with moonshine.
8. I have scars around each ankle from third degree burns.
9. I've modeled on a runway.
10. I have won a blueberry pie eating contest.
Note: I'll reveal the lie in my next post. Let me know if you do this meme so I can come over and play. Update: Answers are HERE.
Comments
I don't have anything in common completely - though I did ride in a helicopter over Kauai into the nooks and crannies of the Na Pali coast.
I don't think you met Jessica Lange - but I hope the correct answer is that you don't have vitiligo - that seems troublesome.

I have done #9...but that is all. I am guessing that you did not do #10 and I am pretty sure you DID do #1.

I've not done any...and I'm guessing that you didn't do #5. Everything else I either know you did or really believe you did :)

I think that #5 is the one you haven't done, and I haven't done (or have) ANY of these.

Like Emily, I haven't done any of these either. But I think you didn't do #3.

I'm saying #3 close but have not done exactly those .. I'm going to do this on my blog sometime..sk

Hmm. I have ridden in a small airplane over the Roanoke Valley - does that match the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon? Probably not. I've also made herbal medicine and I've tasted moonshine but I've not combined the two (but I have made herbal medicine with bourbon).
I am not sure which is untrue. I will guess #4 just because I hope it is not true.

I am glad you played too. I am fascinated by the choices people put on their lists.
They are all interesting and we have none of them in common. I had to look up vitiligo.
I'm going to pick #3 as the false one just because it makes me cold just thinking about it.
Silly Saturday #7 - Charm or Chores?

Ooooh, a test!!
Geez, I have no idea. I'm just going to take a shot in the dark and guess that #5 is the false one. Because I like the number 5 :o)

I'd say you didn't do number 10...I haven't done any of these things either but I'm putting some of them on my list!
Posted by: Leslie | November 21, 2009 9:50 AM
What a great list! I'm afraid I haven't done a single one of these myself, though I certainly wouldn't care to do #3. I'll guess #4 for the same reason Country Dew did.

I don't remember you saying you have vitilgo, I think you have vertigo like me. Not vitilgo so that is my answer though I can't see you winning a pie eating contest because you eat like a bird! I've done runway modeling in my late teens/early twenties and I have third degree burns on my arm/shoulder/back. I can see you meeting Lange since she lives in the state.

The only one I can comment on is vitiligo -- one of my daughters had one spot of it where a mole had been. I think you weren't buck naked when you went through the ice (#3), or else you FELL through the ice and didn't actually JUMP into a hole.

I'm here today via Tanya's and this is indeed an intriguing post.
My initial guess would have been number 10 as the hoax, but as I think further I wonder if its number 3, more from a "don't jump into holes in ice" perspective.
I can't recollect doing any of the items in your list. Bravo.

Why is there a 5 in the picture?????? xo

I don't know. I think the sign came from one sign came from a one of Josh's shows where he did some performance art. I took it a few years ago, and so can't remember clearly.
