3. I am allergic to nothing.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a cotton allergy doesn't exist.  If a person had a type 1 allergic reaction to cotton, they would pretty much have to live in a bubble to avoid any cotton.  And if they didn't, they would either die or become desensitized pretty quickly, either way eliminating the allergy.

Back in grade school, if you brought in cupcakes for your birthday, you had to bring some non-chocolate ones because supposedly at least one girl I can remember was allergic to chocolate.  Complete bullshit, I'm sure.  What a shame her parents just lied to her like that, 'you're not allowed to eat chocolate.'  They were total overbearing douchebags.  Fuck those crap people.

I dunno if that was a thing anywhere else, where you brought treats to school on your birthday?  I wonder if that flies anymore since the post-9/11 anthrax scare.  Man, that was my favorite time, the post-9/11 anthrax scare.  I saw this dirty cardboard box outside a closed-down Key Food covered with white powder and I knew, "we doin' this."  Shame though, it's kind of less funny in retrospect.

I don't think terror alert levels existed at that point.  Good thing: they would have had to invent a new color to accurately gauge that terror threat.

my friend is allergic to chocolate. She won't die or anything, she just gets all bloated and stuff. It's really unfortunate.

I assumed the cotton allergy thing was made up but then I googled it and found out it existed so it just semed crazy enough to be true.

1) In the 1970s, my father made (and subsequently lost) a fortune trafficking heroin throughout the Midwest.

2) I have never been in love.

3) I have never ranked better than 4th in a pie eating contest.

Hmmm...I think #3 is the lie.  I bet you've won a pie eating contest.

I'd like to see a contest eating pecan pies.  I bet it would take hours.

I think #1 is the lie. Reverse-reverse psychology. It's too unbelievable to be true, so we'll naturally assume that it is.

The lie is you. You are the lie. You stare at mirrors only to witness death in action and have never eaten a pie.

I'm gonna go with number 3 because they don't keep track of who came in fourth place in a pie eating contest.  The know who the winner is and maybe second place, but that's as far as they keep track.

With a sweeping, obvious and totally true statement, littlefallsmets wins the round. My heart is so full of love that I sometimes think it'll explode.

On the other hand, dad was a wild child (fortune earned) and ultimately a convicted felon (fortune lost). And though Paul is correct in his assessment of the vagaries of rankings in pie eating contests, I can tell you with certainty that I finished nearly last (out of something like ten participants) in the one such contest I ever entered based simply on the amount of pie left in front of me. It was a speed test and I underestimated the importance of water to break down each bite for faster swallowing. If I ever enter another one, I'm going to make sure that it's based on the amount of pie eaten rather than how fast a pie is eaten. I think I could kick some serious ass in a quantity battle.

Anyway, let's revive this thread. I love this game and it's the first time I've ever had the opportunity to play it in this format.
