And here I was thinking Island Scout would NEVER listen to a cheesy muzak station on her good speakers!

My three, dysfunctional family edition:

*My great grandfather killed his lover and then himself in a double suicide pact.

*My sister was arrested for drunk and disorderly after mooning Yankees fan at the old Yankees stadium (she's a Red Sox fan).

*My biological father was the subject of an international manhunt.

No, that one was true, sadly. It was in the 20s just before the stock market crash and a very real, very tragic trend. I found newspaper articles documenting 3 other double suicide pacts in the Schenectady area when I was researching my great grandfather's case.

My lie was that my sister was arrested for drunk and disorderly after mooning Yankees fans in Yankees stadium.
She did actually do that but wasn't arrested, just thrown out of the park.

Raw souerkraut false?

Nope. I can't get enough of the stuff. Guess again.

Is that the lie?

I like family dysfunctional ones. I got a million of em.. And it’s better than using my own dysfunctional ones. That’s using the old discretionary noggin.

My cousin robbed a bank with a toy gun.

My grandfather committed suicide by jumping off a bridge less than a year after my grandmother died.

My brother married a convicted murderer.

I hesitate to say it but grandpa and the bridge?

If true, I am sorry.

No, it is true. But don't be sorry, it's a fun fluff thread. I guess suicide isn't all that fluffy but it was a long time ago and he was so lost without my grandmother. And he was a drunk. In my experience drunks never get over anything. Fifty years later they are still talking about something like it was yesterday. Unless they get sober of course.

Try again?

I was crowned Watermelon Eating Queen by Miss New Jersey when I was under 10.

There was only one guy in my mom's entire college by the time she graduated.

I was captain of my high school field hockey team when I was 15.

Nope! It is true Willie Smith was crowned king and I was queen because we ate our watermelon faster than anyone else.

They all sound terrible. Glad you lived to tell the story in all cases!. My guess is #2.

Me too. Big deal. We're great at a million other things, right? Here's my contribution:

1. I've given mouth-to-mouth to a dog.

2. I've dropped my pants in public because they were on fire.

3. I've never had a cavity.

I'm guessing that #1 is a lie.

Sorry to disappoint you. #1 is true. Don't worry. I brushed afterward.
