Introduce Yourself-- And Play Two Truths and a Lie...
CGS
Posts: 5
Welcome back, to those returning, and welcome aboard to those joining in for the first time. Whether you've been around forever, or are just getting started, here is a chance to say hello to the community and tell us some things about yourself.
For some added enigma, and a challenge-- after a general introduction, play Two Truths and a Lie: Make three amazing and perhaps unbelievable statements about yourself. Two are real and one is made up. Others can try to guess if they want, and it is up to you whether or not you ever reveal which was the lie. (This is optional, of course, if you want to keep it simple and just introduce yourself, that is great, too.)

- My middle name is Sly and I'm a lifelong fan of Stallone
- I once shared a cigarette with the bassist of the Jeff Healy Band
- In '85 I graduated from Fort Meade High School
- I write and occasionally draw comics. Thugs, Dedlock and the forthcoming Travis, the Undying!
- I am not a huge pervert.
- A comic anthology I worked on is up for consideration for nomination for an Eisner this year, and I'll be really insufferable if it gets nominated. God help you all if it wins.
-I drink excessively
-I was sent here by my parents aboard a rocket in time to escape the destruction of my homeworld. You're yellow sun makes me horny.
-I work for a very big publishing company in New York
-I am the Green Lantern of sector 2814
-I love being a father.
- I like good books and bad movies.
- I celebrate William Shatner's birthday every year, personalized cake and everything.
- I am a master of self-control.
- I've been listening off and on for years but started listening regularly after the 2011 Supershow
- I fancy myself to be a qualified and talented creative writer (one of the only things I'll brag about)
- I've lost 30lbs and counting since Christmas and am looking forward to another 30lbs lost to reach my goal ideal body weight of 200lbs. My mothers Christmas present to me was to take me shopping for a new suit (head to toe, shoes and all) and it already doesn't fit anymore. I say this only to say that I'm more confident in my life than I ever have been and life isn't looking quite so dim anymore. So I'm in a state of world perception flux right now.
- Also I've grown to consider this forum a part of my family and while I'm sad to see the old one go, I'm happy we have yet another place for our family disfunction.
WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! -Chad

Two truths and a lie:

Okay, those are all truths. I don't lie terribly well. Please forgive me :)
-I am the second cousin to Derek Jeter's aunt

Two truths and a lie:
