For this week's Friday fun thread, I challenge everyone to post three things about themselves -- two that are true, one that is a lie.
I'll get us started in the answers section and see if you can guess what I'm lying about.

1. I was once an extra on the U.S. version of The Office.
2. I've been cage-diving with great white sharks.
3. I was valedictorian of my high school class.
I don't think you've been in The Office
A people based one for me
1. I went to university with one of Atlassian's Leadership Team
2. I used to make tea for Sandi Shaw
3. I got a lift from Richard Hammond (Top Gear) while I was working for the BBC
Sharks?
Hoping #3 is not a lie
Guess which one is B.S:
I am guessing you never made tea for Sandie Shaw because you didn't mention any details.
If #1 is true, I am dying to know who?
I am guessing #1 is the lie
I'm really torn on this. I feel like #3 is too mundane to be a lie and #2 is too weird to be a lie. So I guess I'll go with #1? Tricky!
3 is something that feels like it could be true, but you've altered a detail to turn it into a lie. Like you did work for an oil company in CA, but it was BP-Amaco, rather than Shell.
(I admit, I used that trick in one of my three)
I am guessing, you've never been cage-diving with sharks.
Hmm, there is such a thing as a helicopter wedding (btw, do they throw the bridal bouquet out of the helicopter to see, who's next? :-) ), but did you do that? Weird, but true, I think.
I've got a feeling that you are interested more in in art, than in oil, don't know why, so I vote for #3.
Here are mine:
I say #3!
I think #2 is the lie
I vote for #2. Because you've been many times :-)
Hi, y'all! I'm brand-new to the Atlassian team (Day #5 woop woop!). So hopefully, my truths are still shrouded in at least a little bit of mystery. Here goes:
1. I've authored three, 200+ paged Harry Potter FanFiction novels
2. My grandparents are professional Bridge players which is why my parents named me Bridget
3. I don't have a spleen
omg #2 is hilarious and I hope it's true. But I'm going to guess it's the lie.
Wait no, I'm guessing the lie is #1. NEW GUESS.
I think, it is #2, just a feeling
btw, welcome @Bridget and a big hello from Germany 😀
Thanks, Thomas! I've heard so many good things about you already, A big hallo from San Francisco
#1 is the lie! (Although it's more of a fib...I wrote a TON of FF but never any novels!) @Monique vdB I'll bring ya a prize on Monday.
1. My mom's cousin is Stephen King's executive assistant
2. My mom's cousin is Dan Brown's executive assistant
3. My first "real" job after college was selling lumber
I'll play.
#1. (Sticking with @Stephanie Grice's stephen king theme....) My grandmother lives down the road from Stephen King's home in Maine.
#2. I am an absolute adrenaline junkie - sky diving, roller coasters, swimming with sharks, you name it, I'm there.
#3. I play the pipe organ. yeah, like this. Yeah, for FUN.
#3 seems just real enough to be... real.
It's clearly either 1 or 2, because they're both 'writer/celeb' related.... unless your mom's cousin is a slacker who moves from writer/celeb to writer/celeb. I'm going with #2.
I will be shocked if #2 is true!
I also think #2
if not, you should enter the shark cage together with Monique or come to South Germany where you can find Europe's biggest theme park with great roller coasters. I'll take a ride with you 😀
But maybe she's working for the publisher that is publishing books of both, King and Brown.
I vote for #3.
you're both wrong.
I do indeed play the organ... and it put me through college.
And.... I freakin' love roller coasters. Zip lines. Shark swimming. Bungee jumping. Meetings with @Monique vdB. Anything that gets adrenaline going.
(and my grandmother doesn't live near Stephen King... but my ex's does!)
@Thomas Schlegel I was hoping someone would fall for that!! Mwahaha!
The lie is #2... no Dan Brown contacts that I know of!
Late to the game, but here we go:
1. I won a beautiful baby contest when I was six months old.
2. I had perfect attendance in high school.
3. In 2001, I met Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez from *NSYNC.
Late is fine, these threads are evergreen! (Hmm, maybe I should consider not naming them after a specific day of the week...)
Guessing the lie is #2.
The lie is totally #3. Of course she'd have perfect attendance. And beautiful baby? I mean, c'mon. (i'm not dumb... i'm not debating that one.)
@pb wins. 😄
Monique said late is fine, so here I go! Which one is the lie?:
1. I built my own robot during my years in University.2. I first moved abroad when I turned 22.3. I suffer from Aichmophobia (fear of needles or pointed objects).
Late comment is also fine I guess!
I'd go with #2, even if #3 seems pretty "liable" as well haha
Hi @miikhy! Number 1 and 2 are true! The lie is the number 3, I'm not afraid of needles or pointed objects I learned a new word that day!!
What are your two truths and one lie?
One for the 2018 Advent calendar...
Two truths and a lie...
Think you know?
I'm going to guess 1 is the lie because it was really an all-night diner.
(Also my grandfather was a carpenter and was missing about a finger and a half himself.)
Well, you told us already in another thread that you‘re building wooden kayaks, so I think #3 is right. On that thread, you posted a photo of a left hand holding a wooden pencil - if this is your hand, #2 is wrong, the hand is complete.
So I think, 2 is the lie.
We have a detective over here!
I missed this the first time around thanks to @Thomas Schlegel advent calendar I found my way here...
@Jack Brickey I think #2 is the lie. (Since you are now an undead skeleton, you clearly only survived two of them.)
well I love the logic but that one is true enough (two cars, one motorcycle)
Thanks @Monique vdB , I think I have played this earlier. Here are my entries for this game.
1. I am allergic to some seafoods.
2. I love reading Sci-Fi books and watching Sci-Fi Series and Movies.
3. I think I am germophobic.
