This was inspired by the PeripateticPolarBear. Five of the following are true and five are false. Any guesses?
1. I ride a 6’3 thruster (3-fin surfboard) and have a fluorescent green wetsuit.
2. In high school, I lettered in badminton.
3. I have always wanted to go back to Japan to visit relatives.
4. An evangelical campus group once wanted to perform a “spiritual” circumcision on me.
5. I was class valedictorian in high school and college.
6. In seminary, I was part of a group that did a Veggie Tales skit on the Exodus for a class project.
7. I was the second-string quarterback on my varsity football team, and I caught a TD (as a WR) in our team’s championship game.
8. My doctor found out that I was severely near-sighted when he took me to a Southern California Sun (World Football League) game.
9. In the late 80’s, Madonna’s touring manager approached me, asking me to play with her band as a keyboardist.
10. My younger twin sisters and I all have the same birthday.
One tries, with little success, to keep from thinking of the "Gilderoy Lockhart" quiz in Harry Potter #2...
Let's see...I'll guess that 1, 3, 4, 6, and 10 are the true ones, with 8 and 6 as my last two eliminated.

For that matter, how is it that my previous comment was posted at midnight tonight?

Correct response: "Ah, is he, is he?"

Although I favor a later response to the same line, "And this is his sofa, is it?" (When the paisley Chesterfield sofa appears in the midst of the cricket game)
