FINALLY…Secret 30…I am a Big…Fat…Liar…

A Big...Fat...Liar..shame on you Spuddles

Oh yes, it’s true…I am a Big Fat Liar! Let the facts speak for themselves:

1. This is secret 30. No it isn’t, I miscounted, this is actually secret 31 and I purposely didn’t renumber the secrets to keep you all in suspenders. Lie 1.

2. I took the above photo myself. No, I didn’t. Peer closer (ignore wrinkles, sunspots, nasil hair etc). MrSpud can clearly be seen snapping me, reflected in my shades. He’s little, but get a magnifying glass and you’ll spot him, on tippytoes probably. Lie 2.

3. I told you 30 secrets. 31 if we include today’s bonus revelation. But, oh my, one of them was a Big…Fat..Lie. [pauses to allow collective deep breath]. I’m afraid so, I played with you and told fibs. And I don’t mean little white lies either. It’s a big, fat, black, hairy lie with boils on it. Lie 3.

So, to atone for my sin, given that I am Catholic and thus guilt is my watchword, I am giving away a prize to the first person to comment who can correctly guess which of my 30 Secrets in 30 Days was entirely untrue. Don’t be shy to have a go, I will post the prize anywhere in the world…and it’s (a) worth having and (b) will be personalised for you. I’m not telling what it is because I’m annoying like that. Don’t worry, it’s not my dressing up box. Or MrSpud.

A quick visual reminder of the 30 secrets…I feel stripped bare of my soul and will awake tomorrow feeling renewed and cleansed. But mostly just bloody grateful that it’s finished! Thanks for listening, thanks for the comments, thanks for all the laughs…now, get guessing. Which one was the Big Fat Lie? ONE GUESS PER PERSON! x

Please let it be the moped one… say you had a Harley Davidson.
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 8:53 pm Said:

Guess 1, Lumpy (xxxxx mhwa) is sadly incorrect. I would LOVE to have had a Harley. Alas, Speedy is a truth not a Big Fat Lie.

Guess 2? Bring it on.
Redbedhead, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:00 pm Said:

I think it is the one about not being able to spell Digby’s middle name. I just can’t believe that about you!
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:02 pm Said:

Ah Redbedhead (hello!! xxx), alas I wish that were a lie..it’s not….sigh.
Isayx3, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:04 pm Said:

I’m guessing Secret 19 is totally true…because you referenced it somewhere else (unless that was a lie too!…brilliant!)
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:08 pm Said:

Oooh Isayx3…not playing by the rules! you don’t get to guess which are true? Just which one is a Big Fat Lie…naughty, to the back of the class with you with your superior photography and processing skills….;-)
Isayx3, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:19 pm Said:

woops..apparently I can’t read.

Ok..then scratcht that..my anwser is secret 28..because who does shot put in school.

I was going to go with 27..because i dont know i believe the deaf girl part..but I can believe the rest of it.
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:21 pm Said:

Hmmm, STILL cheating! One guess only. I’m going with your first answer, which is incorrect. Alas, the pathetic shot put was true. Sob. I’m still traumatised….
Redhead, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:29 pm Said:

Number 24. Definitely.
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:33 pm Said:

Ah Redbedhead, one guess each! Sorry will edit to reflect, although very interesting selection….x
Redhead, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:37 pm Said:

hello – but I am not Redbedhead! I am Redhead – different person, honest!
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:40 pm Said:

WAHHHH! Look at all you redheadreadheadbeds etc!! SORRY! Ah, Redhead…my new blog read of course. Apologes….x Alas, you are incorrect however. That is a truth and not a Big Fat Lie….PS pls write more on your blog, I neeeeeed it!
Redhead, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:47 pm Said:

Ahhh, easy mistake I also thought it was me at first glance, commenting in my sleep or something! I was also sure I’d guessed your lie. Never mind… will be waiting to see which one it is.
(PS. Have new shiny posts up…)
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:50 pm Said:

Redhead…yes I just saw and commented. I LOVE your blog. It’s a shame about your detective skills of course…x
Lizzie, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:53 pm Said:

ooh I’ve loved your secrets, Spud. So sad it’s the end- hope you will still be blogging as much.
My guess for the lie is that Mr Spud gave you saucepans. Can’t remember the number though.
Eliza Claire, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:54 pm Said:

My guess is that it’s number 19 – because I hate the thought of you not enjoying new films!
Eliza Claire, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:55 pm Said:

Aah scrub that, have seen that someone else said that one. OK. I’m going for exam cheat then…
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:55 pm Said:

ooooh Lizzie Looooo….did you not pay attention the Purple Place? Were you not HANGING on my every word? Alas the saucepans are a truth, not a Big Fat Lie…

MrSpud still in the Grudge Book for EVER. x
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:56 pm Said:

Eliza Claire…nope not the new films nor the exam cheat….hmmmmmm
Vix, on July 5th, 2009 at 9:58 pm Said:

The Nun one… I so can’t picture that being real!
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:00 pm Said:

Ah Vix…I can see why you chose that one…but that’s completely true!!! Funny, but true…
Tummy Monster, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:02 pm Said:

I reckon it’s the glasses one – I bet you love wearing your glasses, and probably have half a dozen pairs to choose from.
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:06 pm Said:

Ah Tummy Monster (kiss kiss HELLO!!) incorrect. Not the glasses, I have one pair and I hate them…grrr….x
Heather, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:07 pm Said:

Number 25! I can’t see you throwing many wobblers! You look so innocent!
Daisy011078, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:10 pm Said:

I’m going for number 17 – the grudge book secret.
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:15 pm Said:

aha, nope Heather not the wobblers…I am guilty of those…alas and alack.

Daisy, no way! The Grudge Book is a reality!

Keep guessing guys x
Eliza Claire, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:16 pm Said:

Of course it could all be one big lie and you’re really a lorry driver called Mike.
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:18 pm Said:

Eliza Claire..an interesting theory…you may think that, but I couldn’t possibly comment…
Spot, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:21 pm Said:

Hmmm, a toss up between the faker aussie trip one or the swishy blonde hair one.

I’ll go with the blonde hair?
Kristina, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:45 pm Said:

now this is very very clever! I have now gone through your secrets and am guessing #6, the missing tooth fairy is a lie. although it’s hard to tell, because you don’t show your teeth in many of the photos, which could indicate the opposite – that you do have some of your milk teeth left. huh. still going with it though.
spudballoo, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:48 pm Said:

Ah kristina! Clever thinking…but wrong…check out the photo of me smiling on this post, baby teeth lurking behind my incisors..

http://www.spudballoo.com/?s=glasses

Alas you are wrong…
Spot, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:52 pm Said:

Is my post showing? I can’t see it?
Kristina, on July 5th, 2009 at 10:55 pm Said:

oh no! I’m so curious I won’t be able to sleep Btw: I also got my husband on the internet, but for free… excellent deal, I think
aspidistra, on July 5th, 2009 at 11:09 pm Said:

Ok, I’m going with 18 – the sealegs. I’m still struggling to believe the pair of you bought a boat…
aspidistra, on July 5th, 2009 at 11:19 pm Said:

…unless of course you were lying about getting seasick. Either way the whole thing smells fishy…
Bryony, on July 5th, 2009 at 11:51 pm Said:

Ok I think it might be secret 27, the faker one! I really don’t know how anyone could keep that up and not let the guard down for that amount of time!
kristine, on July 6th, 2009 at 3:23 am Said:

wow. how cool are you? I love this blog. I’d write more but i cant, I have to go and continue reading…
Jules, on July 6th, 2009 at 5:20 am Said:

Well, being a true brunette myself it is quite obvious that you would indeed never REALLY want to be blond…. seriously! You are far to beautiful as a brunette. (does flattery help?)
Deb Daley, on July 6th, 2009 at 6:10 am Said:

I’m thinking that you can indeed dance! You look like a dancer, perhaps modern, maybe African tribal drum dancing? I will miss the secrets and your hilarious photos and writings, but am certain your next project will be equally entertaining.
Red, on July 6th, 2009 at 8:02 am Said:

I have loved reading your secrets, Spud! (Used to be a HPADer myself, am not a stalker. Well, not much.) I am sad they are now over.

I think 18 is a BFL- the sea legs one.
spudballoo, on July 6th, 2009 at 8:23 am Said:

AHA we have a WINNER! Actually we have two winners…Spot and Jules. Spot guessed first but her post was sitting waiting to be approved before it was loaded to the site.

Well done ladies. I’ve never even vaguely wanted to be blonde. I ordered the wig for another secret, I planned on dressing up as a character from a film for the ‘I only like to watch films I’ve seen before’ secret. But it didn’t arrive in time, so I ‘improvised’ (ie. lied my pants off).

Can you two email me your name and address (please include the name you like to be known as if you have a shortening/nickname) and I will mail you your prize!

Thanks everyone for playing along. The rest of those secrets were completely TRUE! xx
Spot, on July 6th, 2009 at 10:12 am Said:

Whaaah, excellent. How funny! I never win anything.
Steph, on July 6th, 2009 at 11:02 am Said:

Damnit I was too late to the game….though I’d have guessed wrong lol
B, on July 6th, 2009 at 11:03 am Said:

Oh! I was too late for this!!! I don’t think I’d got it right though!
I’m going to miss this secrets series…
Amanda, on July 6th, 2009 at 2:56 pm Said:

You are too funny! I would have guessed the moped story, but alas, would have been wrong! How fun!
aspidistra, on July 6th, 2009 at 7:25 pm Said:

Ah, the blonde one was on my list – good for you. As a brunette, I’ve never had any desire to have blonde hair either.

I’m secretly quite pleased that the boat one is true – you really are quite mad!
Relyn, on July 6th, 2009 at 8:30 pm Said:

OK. I had better not be too late for this because I am certain that I must be the most dedicated of all guessers. I went back and read every single post. I say your are lying about your feet, but since you assure us that you are not, I am going to go with blond. You don’t want to be a blond, you are just kooky enough to have fun with it. You love those brown curls way too much to be a swishy blond. Yes?

Now I am going back to read the comments. I didn’t want to be a cheater and read them first – just in case.
Relyn, on July 6th, 2009 at 8:34 pm Said:

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m too late!

But. I am smart. Hee. Hee.

This was great fun.

What’s up next??
spudballoo, on July 6th, 2009 at 8:34 pm Said:

Oh Relyn…I’m awarding you a special prize as you have commented on just about EVERY post on my blog today. Kudos to Relyn!!!! And, you were RIGHT!!!!!

Love from your Soul Sister x
Relyn, on July 6th, 2009 at 9:46 pm Said:

Yippie, Soul Sister. I do so love a good prezzie! Thank you, thank you!!
Jules, on July 6th, 2009 at 9:53 pm Said:

yippy for me…..
julochka, on July 6th, 2009 at 10:34 pm Said:

i was gonna guess the 5 hours of fake typing. because that would just be a dumb thing to do in first class! and because i kinda liked you as a blonde…sniff, sniff…
Taj, on July 6th, 2009 at 11:39 pm Said:

I figured it was the blonde one. You are too much of a renegade to be a blonde! I am LOVING your blog! Tell me more! Tell me lies or give me the awful truth, but just. keep. writing!
Ali, on July 7th, 2009 at 3:04 pm Said:

Where the hell have I been?????????????????
Aswirly, on July 9th, 2009 at 3:42 am Said:

What??? You never wanted to be blonde??? Oh I was sooo gonna guess the baby teeth one. LOL. So what will you do with poor swishy now?
