Eight Random Facts I'll Bet You Didn't Know
Yeah, I got tagged by that Dumb Meme 8 Random Facts. But the person who tagged me is a brand new friend, J G-W and I like him a lot, so I'll do it. But let's try to make it a little bit interesting...
1. Jimmy Carter described himself as a Born Again Christian, notably in the first Playboy magazine interview of a U.S. Presidential candidate. Bored in Vernal is also a Born Again Christian. (she has never appeared in Playboy)
2. Synchronized Swimming was added to the Olympic Games in 1984. Some of the girls on the Olympic team attended the same competitions I did when I was a synchronized swimmer in 1970-1977.
3. I love the program "MathMovesU" which is being promoted by Apolo Ohno to help kids enjoy mathematics. Why? I majored in math in college.
4. I have something in common with Billy Graham's son, Franklin. My father was also a Protestant minister.
5. Like Bill Clinton, I tried marijuana, but I didn't inhale.
6. I got a D in keyboarding at BYU. I don't know any other celebrities who have accomplished this feat.
7. I had seats at Cougar Stadium on the 50 yard line in 1984--the year the BYU football team won the National Championship. I also know and can sing every word of "Rise and Shout."
8. Six of the above facts are true. One is false. I betcha can't guess which one it is!!!

BiV,
Ah, this one is easy. Statement # 1 is false. Everybody know you were in Playboy.
I think you inhaled
JGW tagged me too, so I was curious to see what all your boredom was about. (You have a great blog, not boring at all.) Now, on to the tough stuff; my guess is you probably never did the weed. What about cigars?
This is genius! I love the illustrations!
I was going to guess you didn't get a D in keyboarding. Is there really a class in keyboarding at BYU?
I think its quite possible you didn't inhale. I, on the other hand did inhale, but have since repented of it.
I think it was keyboarding. Or synchronized swimming. Or BAC, because everybody knows you are a Mormon. Or maybe it WAS the inhaling thing.
Hey! Some of you are cheating. You can only choose ONE!! Keep guessing, everyone, and I will give the answer in a couple of days.
lol, Mark iv. Nope, I wasn't in Playboy. And that is the last hint I'm giving.
I don't think your father was a protestant minister. You wrote on his polygamy earlier, and I don't think polygamy would be accepted from a minister.
If I am wrong, can you explain how that one worked (like did his congregation know, care, etc.). I can't wait to see which one isn't tru.
#8 isn't true because the 7 are all true. Also you're not a betting woman ;)
So much for my little ALT 130 accent ague there...
Ahhhh, Number 8 is true. There is indeed a false statement in numbers 1-7. Tea, perhaps you just didn't see it because you are so exhausted from your wild vacation. I'm giving you a second chance to guess!!
I really mean it this time, no more hints!
So that's how you do the accent on your name!
I played along:

I'm guessing that #1 is false! So either you're not 'born again' or you've appeared in Playboy :)
LOL! Thanx BiV, I needed a smile today. My vote is for the monkey: I think you're a pretty good typer (you blog, you comment on blogs), so either you didn't get a D or there is no such class.
