Better Know The Suque: 3 True, 1 False

  • OK, so here's the game. You list 4 statements about you're fascinating, interesting life. Make 3 statements that are true, and 1 that is false. People can then guess about which one of yours is false and also make statements of their own, and on and on. In the end, we learn about our awesome selves and do some serious #nothumblebragging. I'll start.

    Had beers with Jon Bon Jovi
    Been to the Oval Office
    Been scolded by a Naismith HOFer
    My direct paternal ancestor fought a battle against my wife's direct paternal ancestor in 1298

    I am guessing the Bon Jovi one is false since he looks like he is more of a wine cooler guy.

  • Paul didn't drink with JBJ.

    1. My deep dark family secret is that Dean Martin may be my grandfather
    2. My girlfriend's father is ranked as one of the all time NFL draft busts
    3. My uncle was tortured and stabbed over 60 times by Brazilian mobsters because he was skimming money that he was laundering through his big 4 accounting firm, in which he was head of South American operations for.
    4. My great uncle was banned from horse racing in the state of ny for being a bootlegger and fixing horse racing for new york gangsters

    Nope, I did not. I knew Jon and the fellas when I was a kid. My uncle was their stage manager during the 7800 Fahrenheit, Slippery When Wet and New Jersey tours in the 80s. Wish I was about 5 years older and that statement would have been true and much more I imagine!

    Dean Martin did not screw your grandmother.

  • Cuse's uncle was not stabbed 60 times. Everyone knows Brazilians only use guns, bats or soccer cleats.

    1. I cried the first time I saw Father of the Bride
    2. I cursed twice during a live radio interview and wasn't allowed back after commercial break.
    3. I went 15 minutes into a lunch with Harrison Ford before I realized he was Harrison Ford.
    4. I fainted in a human sexuality class and landed in Joe Smith's lap.

    Correct, he was not tortured or stabbed, nor did he launder money for Brazilian mobsters, but he was murdered, although the Brazillian authorities called it a 'heart attack.'

    I'm saying Baba did not have lunch with Harrison Ford.

    CuseTerp

  • I'm also gonna run with the Harrison Ford story being bullshit. Everyone should recognize that pretty bastard.

    1.) I was in "The Dark Knight Rises".
    2.) As a teen, I set a cop car on fire with gasoline, subsequently causing it to explode and cause almost $100,000 in damages.
    3.) My father successfully landed two emergency plan landings.
    4.) Lee Corso once ran away from me in a dead sprint.

    HEY you suck

  • Paul - ancestor battle
    Cuse - too late
    Baba - Baba has never cried
    Hey you - Corso

    7erps

  • Paul, Falkirk? That's pretty cool.

    Mine:
    1) In the bowels of FedEx, Deion Sanders heard me say I was glad he left the cowboys because his foot was done.
    2) I have state governors on both sides of my family within the past 3 generations.
    3) I have waited on Biz Markie and Sugar Ray Leonard.
    4) I got into a physical altercation with Sergey Brin.

  • The Harrison Ford story is true. Late 90s. He was sitting by himself in the "cafeteria" of a large production facility outside of DC. He was doing post production on a movie shot there (Air Force One?). I was there editing a TV spot, and sat down across from him. We made some small talk, sports and stuff. I actually asked him what he did for a living. He said "I'm an actor." I said, "cool, what kind of stuff." He half smiled...I imagine he thought I was fucking with him. I'll never forget what he said, "I played a smuggler in a sci-fi trilogy...also an archeologist named Indiana Jones. Action/adventure kind of thing." I basically went pale. Didn't even recognize him. I think he saw it in my reaction and knew I wasn't being a dick. I basically said, "holy shit I didn't even recognize you." We talked for about another half hour before he was swept up. Awesome guy.

    I've never done a live radio interview in my life.

    Hey you - cop car explosion
    Toogs - the waiter one
    7erps - you cried during all four.

    Trick submission: All true?

    My Corso story was true. Happened in an Atlanta hotel lobby a few years ago. I was pretty drunk but was certain it was him. Yelled his name, and he inexplicably ran away into another room that was closed to the public.

    My father never landed any planes... not even sure he's ever BEEN on a plane.

    Yup, and they actually both led significant forces against each other in various battles at Roxborough and Berwick Castles. I told her that our marriage is basically the end of a 700 year old blood feud.

    That's hilarious.

    And no, I waited on them. Separately, which is not apparent by my shoddy phrasing.

  • Toogs didn't get into it with Sergey Brin, he's an internet tough guy, not a real life one.

    i'm guessing 4 is untrue.

    1. my junior year of hs, i threw a 7-inning no-hitter (and lost 1-0)
    2. i once touched roger staubach's ass
    3. my parents are getting divorced because we discovered that my father was living a double life under an assumed name with another family in another state
    4. i own an island

    Phatboy if you had any balls I'd meet you at the AFA Boxing gym and have Coach Weichers put some gloves on us.

    god I hope it's 3.

    Sergey one is true. A hockey fight, no blood spilled, but enough to qualify.
