Thread: Tell me five things about yourself, four of them are true...

I got this "idea" from another Vikings board that has a similar thread.
It's become a fascinating thread to learn things about the posters that you never knew:

Let’s play a game…

In the movie Breach, Chris Cooper, a double-agent asks his new assistant: Tell me five things about yourself, four of them true. He believes a good FBI agent can pick truth from falsehood. Of course, your job is to guess which thing isn't true.
So here we go. I’ll start it off:

1. I won a state title in high school for public speaking.
2. I drove my twin turbo Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 in excess of 150 MPH on Interstate 71 in Kentucky.
3. As a 42 year old married man, a third party (female) set me up on a date with a single 20 year old coworker that ended in the sack 18 hrs later.
4. I survived a head-on crash on an interstate highway at 55 MPH in a Ford Escort.
5. I was a candidate for the Air Force Academy, making it to the final cut before being eliminated.

Okay I'll play along..

1. As a 6'3" sophmore, I was named all conference as a linebacker.
2. I have yet to step foot into two states, Maine and Alaska.. and Alaska is next on the list.
3. I currently have two children, a boy that is 8 and a girl that is 5.
4. I attended and completed a 3 credit course at the Harvard Business School in 3 weeks.. intense studying and company paid.
5. I am a Viking fan undercover, shhh don't tell Marr.

1)I haven't seen either ocean and would love too.

2)My dog is the coolest animal on the planet a New Foundland thats 8.
3) I attended The Job Corp instead of High School on the grounds that public education's a joke
4) I had 3 underage Drinking tickets before I hit 21.
5) I once got into a fist fight with a teacher when did attend High School.

Are we supposed to guess?
Here are my answers:

purplepat: #3
pack93z: #2
MML: #1

I really don't know any of you so just grasping at straws.

pack93z: Guessing #5, though I suppose it's possible to be a fan of both teams.

MML: Guessing #3...You may have been in Job Corps, and public education can be a joke, but I'm guessing that your reason for enrolling in Job Corps wasn't "on the grounds that public education's a joke"...if you got in a fist fight with your teacher, I'd guess you were steered toward Job Corps as an alternative to a juvenile facility (or worse).
