Terrible Lie(s)

Ok. I've seen Chris at Rude Cactus do this in the past. It looked like fun, so I'm giving it a shot. And how else am I going to get to thirty posts by the end of November?

Below are seven items. At least one of these items is a true fact about me. At least one of the items is a lie. Your job is to tell which are the truth(s) and which are the lie(s). The first five people to correctly identify the truth(s) from the lie(s) win a mix CD and a super rare, Limited Edition Cynical Dad lapel pin (perfect for your daughter's Cabbage Patch Doll).

Here we go:

  1. I once won a Kurt Cobain look-alike contest without any prep work whatsoever.
  2. I was once contacted by Amnesty International, who thought I was a death row inmate.
  3. I was once an award-winning livestock judge.
  4. I have written an eco-friendly children's book about a walrus that I'm currently shopping around to different publishers.
  5. My very first job was cleaning out rat cages for a laboratory.
  6. I once wrote a fake Canterbury Tale that became required reading at several high schools and colleges.
  7. I own a first edition copy of The Catcher In The Rye.
Leave a comment and tell me which of the above are true and which are false. One entry per person. Void where prohibited. Blah, blah, blah.

I'll announce the winners on Sunday. Good luck!
