Myth: Bryan used to wear sweatpants and loafers to high school.

Myth: On a family trip to Yellowstone, Bryan got lost in the woods.
Fact: Not true. Bryan was out exploring and lost track of time.

Fact: Okay, this one is true. But it is not as bad as it sounds.
Myth: Bryan is an excellent basketball player.
Fact: Bryan has only a decent game, with a good outside jumper and dangerous penetration ability. He plays fairly good defense, but has almost never been known to grab a rebound. He has been known to shoot too much.
Myth: Bryan used to be a young Republican.
Fact: He was on their mailing list but never did, in fact, join.

Myth: Bryan once bought a Yanni CD and a Metallica CD at the same time.

Fact: Bryan actually has quite rugged, masculine interests: backpacking, fishing, sports, and so forth.

and you gave that metallica cd to me. i still have it.
I have to dispute the facts on myth #1. I went to the same high school and I KNOW you wore grey sweat pants, brown loafers, and a green sweatshirt with a white stripe. I can picture it clear as day. Sorry Bryan... we'll never quit on this one :-)
Myth #1 is in fact true. You can't deny it. You may repress the memory of sweatpants and loafers but it doesn't change the past.
More info on said tatoo!
Loved this post, thanks for clearing some things up for us. . . except I fear we are still unclear on the sweats & loafers issue.
I'm glad you described your basketball talents in the present tense, although I think you better start using the past tense to describe your ability to ball if you don't start playing more often.
Green sweatshirt, grey sweatpants, white socks, brown loafers. These are the facts, nothing but the facts.
