A knight, a knave...

Because it's Monday afternoon:

Ask me three things you are curious about, and I'll give you one true answer, one complete lie and one misleading answer.

What is your middle name?
Do you enjoy your job?
Have you ever slept with someone on a first date?

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

1. Algernon.
2. Yes, most of the time.
3. Invariably.

I am smug at the completeness of my lie -- it's more so than most people could manage under the cicumstances :)

[geekette8.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Do you want me to try to guess which is which?

[ewx.livejournal.com]

I guess: 1. Lie, 2. True, 3. Misleading.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Don't feel obliged, but it would entertain me, yes :) I would just have said, but that feels contrary to the spirit of the meme :)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Wait, nevermind. Yes, rjk is correct.

1. I have no middle name, as anyone who has played penultima with me (and hence identified each player by their initials) knows.

2. Yes, most of the time. It has no especial interest beyond being reasonably interesting programming, but I pretty much enjoy that, enjoy the fringe benefits, and while occasionally get frustrated feel satisfied and enjoying when it's going well.

3. I haven't slept with very many people, but each relationship has generally started pretty precipitously.

1) What's your favourite song?
2) What's your favourite song?
3) What's your favourite song?

(I'm curious to see what happens)

! - you have no middle name as known by all of us who knew your crsid back when you had one.

[geekette8.livejournal.com]

I've just read the other comments now, but I was going to say what RJK said anyway (honest!). That was certainly the easiest way to interpret the answers, I thought, and I was guessing indeed that you had no middle name.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Indeed, more so, but I don't know if rjk would remember, and geekette certainly wouldn't :)

how did you spend the afternoon?
how did I spend the afternoon?
which was more fun?

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

1. It's embarrassing, actually it's something I've liked since I was very young, and I won't say.
2. It's embarrassing, actually, I rarely listen to any music at all, and so it's hard to name one.
3. Beethoven is a mammal.

Cheating ;)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

What? Why? I tried really hard, and I think they're true, false, and misleading in some order -- what should I have said?

[calamarain.livejournal.com]

I was joking :P

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I should have used a smily in my response, it sounds a bit defensive. But I assumed you meant *something* by cheating, and really couldn't see why. Was I supposed to just give three titles? :)

[calamarain.livejournal.com]

Nah, just that despite asking the question three times, I didn't get an answer to it. If 1) is true, then fine... but meh

I'm just being random, prolly.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

I see, sorry, that does make sense.

#1 is false. Do you want to guess?

[calamarain.livejournal.com]

I would then say that 2 is true, since 3 is also true, but misleading.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

I don't know.
I don't know.
