Where's the fib?

Jul. 10th, 2010 at 1:28 PM

My apologies, everyone. It's been a crazy week and I'm way behind on everything.

I had a lot of fun playing Where's the fib? last month. As you may recall, I invited volunteers to offer up four facts and a fib about themselves, then held a poll to see if folks could spot guess which were which. Judging from some of the facts I saw, it's fair to say that you guys have led some crazy lives!

Congratulations to Mary Daley (aka

maryjdal) whose four facts and a fib were voted the most interesting. She wins a copy of my ebook Fur-Face or a Quake ebook of her choice.

Now it's time to seperate the fibs from the fiction. If you were one of those who gave me poll questions, please post a comment revealing which of your five 'facts' actually wasn't. When I've got everyone's fibs, I'll figure out who also won the free copy of Fur-Face (or a Quake ebook of their choice if he/she's already got that one).

As for my own 'Four facts and a fib,' here's what I said:

I've had my nose broken six times. FACT

I knew the individual letters, but I couldn’t recite the alphabet until I was eleven years old. FACT

At the age of 16, I worked as a disc jockey in a pub/strip club. FACT

I can trace my family name back to 1066, when one of my ancestors, Henry de Guibe, was given lands in England by William the Conqueror. FIB

I met Senior Management at a wedding I was filming. FACT

Nearly half of those who voted saw through my bare-faced lie. In fact, it's Senior Management who can trace her family name back to this event.

I'm looking forward to seeing if I managed to spot any of my friends' fibs. This really was loads of fun. We'll definitely do it again sometime.
