The Road to SteemFest - Three Truths, One Lie

Was this part of last years’ run up to SteemFest? No matter if it was, as nobody actually challenged me to prove some of this ‘truths’ that I may or may not have made up.

Were they tall tales or not? Perhaps this time I will be challenged. It’s all about breaking the ice right?

So let’s get to the facts.

FACT #1: I have finger missing from my right hand. I haven’t been cavorting with gangsters who cut it off with pincers due to a drug deal gone bad…., no this was from birth so I never missed it.

Fortunately I am left handed so it never impeded with my writing, not that anyone writes anymore in today’s world of technology.

’Not my hand or fingers. Ask me at SteemFest and I will show you’

I got a lot of stick about it at school. Kids tend to tease, talk and more than once I was cornered and ordered to show my hand to ‘the mob

FACT #2: I can imitate the squawking quacking sound of Donald Duck surprisingly well, not the voice but the noise.

I am willing to demonstrate but be aware that EVERYONE will probably stare if I do, so don’t expect me to do it in a crowded area!

Donald is a noisy animal and dogs have been known to back away on hearing it for the first time which can be amusing.

...’Yeah, it’s that interesting’…

My dog just gives me a bored stare these days occasionally accompanied by a large yawn. He’s heard it many times.

FACT #3: I’m sure I mentioned this one last year, but as nobody challenged me to prove it here I go again.

I don’t practice Yoga, yet I can still perform the Full Lotus without any difficulty. OK, let me rephrase that.. I used to be able to perform it without thinking but as I’m getting older my legs are a little stiffer.

But I can still do it. The internet tells me that some Yoga masters have tried for years and failed.

What’s the big deal I say?

FACT #4: I have got strange gangly arms that I can send behind my back when it itches. To put it another way, I can scratch any part of my back.

Backscratchers need not apply, I don’t need them.

For the longest time I figured everyone could do this. This is not the case and @bingbabe constantly asks me to scratch hers. I do get all the good jobs.

So there you have it. THREE of these lies.. er facts are true and one is a downright lie.

When you go to SteemFest then you can find the truth, if you are interested enough to do so.

Very interesting. It is cool that they are doing this to help people interact with each other and things like that. I don't know as though I would even want to guess which one is the lie. They all sound pretty interesting.

By the time we get there, everyone may have forgotten about all these things. Hopefully not, as it could be used as an icebreaker.

Lotus position. That's a lie, after reading your stiff legged urbex antics :0D

Ooo, I can see I'm going to have to do a follow up while in Bangkok about this post. I hope some other's can do the same. Otherwise I'll have to include this Lotus position boast again next year!

Lol, it can be your thing! :0)

I hope some seek you out at the steemfest and get the answers, The Steem Inquiring Minds tabloid may be interested in the left handed boy missing a finger on his right hand being able to scratch anywhere on his back. I am sure the first question will be can you use both hands or only one to scratch your back. !BEER

Everybody tends to forget all this stuff once there. Last time it happened the same way. We will see!

If I was there I would likely forget also.



Hey @slobberchops, here is a little bit of BEER for you. Enjoy it!

I guess it's the first one that goes as a lie :-)

You think I have all my fingers? Now that would be nice, I could type faster (that's if I didn't type with 2 fingers).

This one will be easy to show you, ask me in Bangkok!

Ahaaaa sure. The 3 and 4 are kind of connected so 2 of them cannot be a lie. Point 2 os easy for anyone to make a sound so that left me with the 1st one. So let's get the lie revealed in BKK 😁

Full lotus. I used to be able to do it standing on my head as a child! Not now. And I don't think you can. But I'm not going to Bangkok sadly, so I won't find out... *sniff

I will do another post that will reveal all with proof, but not until I'm there!

Looking forward to that!

Hello, @slobberchops!
How are you?
I think 3-rd is lie🤔

Another one who think I can't do an almost impossible yoga position mastered by few. It may be my tall tale but I'm not telling... yet!

I have not seen you alive, but for some reason it seems to me.
Sorry for the wrong question, but you are a man, yes?😁
It seems to me that men are less prone to stretching

Sorry for the wrong question, but you are a man, yes?😁

I was the last time I checked!
