Tell a blatant lie

[arthurfakaya]

Hi, I couldn't find a similar thread on AC, and I've seen this to be quite popular elsewhere, so thought I'd give it a go. Please let me know if there's a better place for it. It can be a good way to get things off your chest. It should have some connection with AS.

So I'll start with: There's nothing I like more than attending a party and having lots of people I don't know invade my personal space; where I'm expected to engage in small talk, shake the hands of - and kiss the cheeks of - total strangers, while music is played at a volume that requires everyone to shout to be heard. I certainly don't need to be lubricated with alcohol to cope with that. I'll be the life of the party dancing on tables and singing karaoke. Try and stop me giving impromptu, long-winded speeches peppered with witty and bawdy jokes if it's called for.

The blatant lie: I am not the current and rightful heir to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. That is, I am not the Holy Roman Emperor.
There are two blatant falsehoods here. What are the two propositions whose statements are false. Hint: The first and second sentences may be regarded as equivalent, so if they both are false, it follows that this constitutes one blatant falsehood. What is the other? It is simple, obvious, and, some would say, superfluous.

I'm not a drunk. An alcoholic. I'm not dependant on alcohol or the soothing effects it provides.

Life is wonderful, people make me so happy. I could not live without lots of people; they bring out the best in me.

I want to go to multiple basketball games so I can hear the buzzers go off at the most unexpected times. I want to keep having fire drills in school every month, because I handle them so well, and nobody laughs at the reactions I don't have!

I live in Palmer Woods, Detroit, Michigan, and in my 'hood is the boyhood home of Mitt Romney.
