You are so good at outrageous lies!
These all sound very convincing except #4 (the cops would probably have handed you a lollipop instead of pulling their guns) and #5 (because animals in clothes are so dang cute).
Patti has admitted to a certain sustained unease around clothed animals and animal-like characters...hence the famous Disneyland wig-out of 1968...leading us all to speculate as to what Grey Ops she might've been engaging in in Florida, the state that can't govern straight, against what Orlando attraction. You'll note the careful syntax of that entry.
Welcome back to Day-Twah, Patti, where it's...warm?
All true.
#3, #5, and #6 are TRUE.
And, Evan, you might never have been at Virginia Beach, the most New Yor1k City-'tude-stereotypical of "resort" cities. At age 11, in the mid '70s, I was almost run down by speeding Funsters on the main drag a pretty amazing (to me) dozen times in one week's visit; at one of those incidents, I was yelled at by one of VB's finest for crossing with the lights in my favor, what the hell was I thinking? If Robert Arthur had thought of doing a Three Doomed Sould series of YA Gold Medals, it would've been set in the VB I knew, at least. (But I had to wait till college for cops to actually pull weaponry on me...at a traffic stop...on campus...on a Sunday...in Summer...because I had made a California stop on the way to my radio show. Virginia again, where the in the '80s sent all the most callow state po' to work out their stupid on the state U campuses. Did I mention that VA is only a step/cut above FL politically?)
Todd-you have a colorful story for every state. Evan-I took on the mantle of middleclass only in middle age. Richard is almost right.
My guess would be that #7 is the only false one and only false because it was a different city?
Man, I'm interested in hearing the answers to the first four. If any are true, then we need a full blog post!
I'm up: http://yasleuth.blogspot.com/
Not as good as yours, but what the hell :-)
Thank you for thinking of me, but the few horrible truths I have experienced are not my stories to tell so ...
I can't wait to hear the real stories behind these.

I'm guessing #1 is true - who hasn't dated Liza?
Nicely done, Patti.
Unless someone else volunteers, The Women of Mystery may take a pass.

You are an excellent liar. I'm doing this too!
Patti,
Kathy Ryan has taken up the gauntlet over at Women of Mystery.
Terrie
Hi Patti,
I was going to let you know that I've taken up your challenge, but Terrie so nicely told you first! I even have a theme to my truth/lies; it's a Celebrity Edtion...
Here's the link:

These are some pretty interesting tales, especially the brushes with fame. How could the Ford story not be true? And I can't help it -- I *want* to believe the Liza story.
