2 truths and a lie

1: I hold a U.S. Patent (for an type of ice cube tray).

2: I wrote John Boy and Billy Big Show Playhouse skit.

3: Producers asked me to appear on Jerry Springer.

 

2 is a lie.

 

Your choices (at least 1.): UWOP

Anyhoo:

1. I was face to face with John Ashcroft and McGruff
2. I was face to face with John Ashcroft handing candy to kids.
3. I was face to face with John Ashcroft giving a guest lecture.

 

in which case, what was it you asked Barkley?

To reveal my fib

1, is true, sadly, old yearbook injury
3, is true, was a christmas gift from my sister who lived in WI at the time
2 is the lie, though I do have a friend with auto connections (who became somewhat internet infamous in Shelby circles when he totaled a '14 with 59 miles on it)

 

Nope.
That one's true.

 

Ah, what the hell.

1. I played -- and beat -- Dr. J at pinball

2. A drunk Doug Flutie called my house at 2 a.m.

3. I met Paul Newman -- and he initiated the contact and conversation

 

If 2 is true, we need the story with it.

 

So, Charles, you're kind of an outspoken guy... what do you think ...

"No. No. Why outspoken? I am not outspoken. Why do I have to be outspoken......." He went on. I sat there. He finished. I asked him again (the actual question eludes me). He answered. Because, you know, he's kind of an outspoken guy with a lot of opinions. I smiled and thanked him. He winked at me.


Edit: It was an asinine phrase. I was young.

 

I ask this having no idea whatsoever how old you are, so forgive me if I'm insulting you: Did that happen at the 1991 All-Star Game in Charlotte?

I have this vague recollection of Charles being set off by a question from a hot, young, blonde female reporter during the press scrum the day before the game (you know, when each player has a table in a hotel ballroom and they turn the media loose). And I want to say he ended his rant by flirting with the woman who asked him the question.

That wasn't you, was it?

 

No. It wasn't a basketball event.

 

OK, just wondering.

If it had been I was definitely going to say pics or GTFO.
