How about we play a little forum game to get to know each other a little better? I'll start. Below are 3 statements about me. Two are true, and one is false (not in that order)...Try and guess which is the false one, and upload your own 3:

1. I love military themed FPS games.
2. I hate retro games.
3. I have a wife and one child called Elijah.

Dunno...

My questions:

1. I have 3 dachsunds named Ditto, Ditto the Sequel, and Dribble.

2. I'm a programmer with Two Guys Software.

3. I'm a writer who has been published many times before.

4. I live in Central Florida.

5. My last job as a programmer was with a DoD contractor named Mnemonics Inc.

Only 2 are true...

well, no2, for Jas, is wrong.
probably due to the fact that you made a retro game (elevator something or something.

as for GUMP, I'd guess that no2 and no4 are true.

well.. 3 of mine...

1. I am over 6'2
2. I have a dog named Roadkill
3. I play the electric Bass

one is wrong

benny, I'd say no2 is wrong. I'd probably guess, hmm, something random, that you're, oh, say, 19. ordainded at around, hmm.. 17 or 18...

and, I am 6'3 in height, so, you'd be wrong.

Gump: except maybe the dogs names...come on, that's almost as bad as me naming my two dogs Mr.Darcy and Mr.Bingly..(of Jane Austen fame)...hang on, I really did name em that

Archangel: I reckon the height?
Benny, no-one could live in a town called Horsebranch

Klumsy: I'm pretty sure you were a Taipan in your last life, not a cobra, so that's wrong for sure. hmmm, why'd you use km/h if you live in Yankeeland?

Klumsy,I'd guess no1(I'd go with Jas and say Taipan), no2(the avatar is to throw us off!) and no5(random guess)

Jas, as I said to Benny, I am 6 foot 3, so, no1 is right, not wrong. lol

The false statement are actually 3 and 6. Hymns bore me and I can't reach the high pitches to sing them, and soap operas!? WHATS THE POINT!?
Rest are true tho.

This might be a touchy subject, and maybe I could be wrong, but did you recently break up with a girlfriend?

Your right i did, but we worked things out. She got saved a few months back as well, and is really on fire for God.

Anyways 2 of the above are correct. One is false, but which one?
