(If you wanted to play this round of "Four Truths and a Lie," read my previous post before continuing this one.)
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you with the answers, but we abruptly entered the busy season at work, which usually means I spend less time with computers while outside of work. But never fear, I've got plans to keep this site updated throughout September. Big plans. With horns.
I figured that including two dance stories would help shake up the results a bit, and I was right. And sadly for Jon, NCS, Seventeen Syllables, Cate, X, Jasmine, and Cadiz12, both dance stories are true. Sadly for me, because X's comment was otherwise exactly right, this means I can no longer call myself a self-respecting man.
Everybody believed #4 (about the pregnant matron of honor), which is good, because that's true. Syar was the only strong doubter on #5 (the cuff link story), but she seems to have overestimated just how coll or how cool I am. That one's true also.
This leaves #2 as the false story. Jonathan, Lia, and Dem picked that much correctly. But we can't have three winners, can we? No! Jonathan was least correct, because I absolutely did practice it while mowing my lawn. Dem was closer, because I wouldn't say I was "tremendously" nervous. This means that Lia is the winner and newly crowned "omarphillips.net Four Truths and a Lie Champion of the week of August 13, 2007!" I can only imagine how much pride you must feel right now, Lia. No way was I forgetting to do the toast! Of course I practiced that part! And how dare the rest of you for believing that I make mistakes! Thanks for playing and all, but seriously, how dare you!

(I wrote this entire post before Becky left her guess in a comment on the previous post. She would have won, had she not talked herself out of it and guessed something silly instead. I mean, obviously I'm not saying that the notion of me staring at my gorgeous wife is silly, obviously. Seriously, that's obviously not what I meant. But you originally guessed the right story, and with accuracy that can only be described as "spooky," your explanation for why you picked #2 was exactly right. That lie came to me because I remember reading about it on cadiz12's site. And I was nervous, and I did decide to wing it. Everything you said was correct, right up until you decided to change your mind and say incorrect stuff.)

I still stand by my dancing stories rule. It's what got me through college, so I'm not about to abandon it now.
Rhonda said:
I should have cheated and looked at the answer before I posted my guess. I can't believe you did the Chicken Noodle dance. The horror.
Rhonda said:
Oh...I almost forgot.
Rhonda said:

both dance stories are true.
There has been little outrage at that statement. I hope to change that. Perhaps a video will shed some light on the gravitas of that statement.

I'm ok with being the strongest doubter of #5. I'm still doubting you, #5. I'm staring at you with the most intense of doubts and I'm never letting up. Here's looking at you, punk.
Syar said:
That punk comment was directed to the #5 story, not you Omar.
Just in case you thought it was to you.
It wasn't.
Syar said:
I am totally #5 on the cool points list!! How awesome! Synchronicity!
I'm still doubting you cufflinks story. I mean, geez, could you BE any more doubtable?
Jonathan said:
Just felt like padding - Pad
Cate said:
Yeah, Phillips - I think you need to provide some video proof of these "two dancing stories". Cuz I still don't believe it.
Rhonda said:
Pad :)
