Writing Mania discussion

How to play:
First a person tells a story - preferably something that's interesting, funny, or unbeleivable. The next person has to decide whether it is true or Balderdash! Then they tell a little anecdote of their own.

I'll go first.

When I was eleven my entire grade T.P.ed the principle's car. Not only did we not get in trouble, the rest of the staff encoraged us!

I think it's true.

{Now do I tell a story?}

Yes, it's true, it was an old tradition at my primary school.

And yes. Althhough I guess it doesn't matter if you don't.

Once, when we were playing a ball game in third grade, we accidentally hit a light and it fell onto a desk.

Uhhh... True?

(cracking up) Nice, Ducky. I think that's true because I vaguely remember that. If it's false, I will be thoroughly embarrassed.

At camp, we tied the camp nurse to a tree, poured purple mud and pink face paint on him, then prettied up his golf cart and made him ride it all over camp. (Ducky is not allowed to answer this one.)

Balderdash. Surely. That could not have happened.

Okay, my turn? When I was growing up, until I was like, 12, I was under the impression that I had a fourth brother named Peter. My parents and siblings wove this incredibly complex and believable story about Peter...But every time we needed to be cautioned, my parents would bring him up:

At the department store: "Don't get lost! You know, Peter ran off in a store just like this when he was little and we never found him!"

Crossing a street: "Hold my hand and be careful! Peter got smashed by a garbage truck while crossing the street once!"

XD Poor you! Poor Peter. XD

Balderdash?

BTW, mine was false. We hit a ceiling panel, not a light. {close, Kyra.}

True?

I was once eating one of those chocolate covered icecreams in a dark room. I came accross something crunchy. I assumed it was a bit of hunnycomb or something from another vat, so I sucked all the chocolate off it. When I pulled it out of my mouth and switched on the light, I found the remains of a cockroach.

Yup, it was true!

Balderdash? {Why would you be eating it in the dark?!}

(sigh) I forgot. Now, I'm gonna go hide in the corner. If you need me, that's where I'll be. XD

Yeah, Balderdash. It did happen to my dad though. I've wondered about the dark room thing myself.

Ewwww! That's awful! And yeah, I wonder why, too....

Oh my CHEESE! I would've DIED. D:

Me too.

He said the awful thing was that it didn't taste all that bad. It took him a long time to trust streets hearts agian though!

I was up at my grandmother's for Thanksgiving last year, when my cousin accidentally tripped over my OTHER cousin's toy truck and broke her TV.

Balderdash, I say! XD

I absolutely despise cheese.

Balderdash.

I cut my finger with scissors.

True? I've done that several times. Stupid scissors. XD

I love my health teacher to the ends of the earth.

True!

My husband said, "Can a butter knife cut you?" And I said, "No, not really." Then, two seconds later, I hear, "Ow!" from the kitchen. My husband was mad at me because he licked the butter knife and managed to cut his tongue. Um, duh! ;)

...True?

I currently play forward on my soccer team.

True? I don't actually know what you play.

I had the best soccer try-out of my life on Wednesday?

Narp!!! Not true! MEL DOES NOT LIKE HER HEALTH TEACHER!! D:

Mmm... False? From my experience, try-outs and such are not usually fun. But that's just me...

In an extremely long and intricate was down the family tree, I am somehow related to Albert Einstein.

Eh... true.

And, Ducky. HA!!! No, I do not play forward anymore. I started out as forward, but after a series of missed goals and being run over by defense, I was placed on midfield. And goalie. I like goalie; you get to drop-kick stuff. XD

Oh, yeah!!! Um... I can draw anime, but not realistic figures.

Anime is awesome. I'm just starting to get into it... *squeals* Vampire Knight... :)))))

And narp, I am not related to Einstein. XD

Aw, dang it!!! XD

And... is my anime-drawing balderdash or not balderdash?

Not balderdash. ;)

I woke up at 5:00 in the morning to read and internet-surf.

Not balderdash.

And, HAH!!! Nope. BOTH my anime and realistic figures are terrible!!!

I never leave the house without a tin of Altoid mints.

Hmm... Balderdash?
{Ya know, I played a version of this game before, but it was called "INCONCEIVABLE!!!" It was very amusing. XD}

One time my cat accidentally attacked me and gave me a scar up my calf.

Actually, true. It was fairly amazing, if I do say so myself, and I do.

@Mel: Inconceivable! XD

I am a direct descendant of President Adams.

It's so fun to say! XD

Balderdash?

I fell asleep in social studies last week and mumbled "Zero" in my quiet slumber.

Not balderdash. XD

I am the queen of tetris!!!

Balderdash - I hold the thrown! You can be prime minister.

Oh, not even prime minister. I suck at Tetris. XD

Do you want to post, or should I?

When I was little, I went to the zoo. I got lost within five minutes of arrival, and one of the keeper people found me. They took me around in their little cart thing trying to find my mum, and (to stop me crying) let me pat a peacock. The peacock bit is all I remember :)

True.

In the fifth grade, the voice of Tito from Rocket Power and two other people came to my school and taught my class and another fifth grade class on the safety of the bike.

I vote true!

I am a (very!!!) distant relative to Taylor Swift.

correct. I vote balderdash.

when I was 14 I saw a three days grace concert and I almost got to party with them during the after party.

Actually, total balderdash!

And I reckon that's true. Surely a tall story wouldn't include the word 'almost'.

My toenail is falling off. I didn't hit it or anything, it just decided to jump ship.

And I vote balderdash to the Taylor swift one too. Not for any good reason... just going along with the group really.

yep its true.

I met one of the pirate from PoC Cruse of the Black Pearl.

Yeah, the Taylor Swift one was kinda obvious. Total balderdash. XD

And, that's... true?

I used to love roller coasters, up until exactly two weeks ago, when my friend made me go on a roller coaster at Great America which I threw up on. Now, I can't even imagine enjoying a roller coaster ride.

I don't know about Taliah's toenail conundrum... balderdash??

(Or true... maybe...)
