Ok here's my three.

1/ Help drill for oil in the Libyan desert (pre-Mommar Khadaffi).

Unless you were a kid, it is impossible.

Even more, when we called Bengazi and Tripoli (true) in 1971, they told me "We do not know any Max working in the desert".

 

it ended up in my/our possession after a classmate of my ex girlfriend stole it from the library.

Egads! Not the university library at Arkham where it has (ostensibly) reposed under lock-and-key for over two centuries?! --- Dear old Al Wilmarth must be rollin' in his grave!

TTFN
HPL -- Um... HP

Perhaps Max is, how shall I say it... 'Up in years'?

That would also apply to 1 & 3 as Qaddafi assumed power the same year as Woodstock.

...Qaddafi...?
Max.

Did you spell that correctly?

Attn: @Aleph(0) and @Jazz2C -- Owing to your 'insidership' - please consider yourselves disqualified!

I'll accept that for solving your post but now that's moot anyway. Here's mine:

1> I'm stone cold sober.
2> I've had six beers.
3> I've had ten fingers of J&B and it's all HP's fault!

 

3> I've had ten fingers of J&B and it's all HP's fault!

Horizontal or vertical?

 

Horizontal or vertical?

I'm can't rightly say! The booze corroded the gimbals of my implanted gyro

 

3> I've had ten fingers of J&B and it's all HP's fault!

--Emphasis Added--

You're a 'true-blue' credit to your generation, @Jazz2C ! --- A 'victim' of everyone and everything save your own poor judgment, decisions, etc!

Well ya see - that's why required equipment includes three (redundant) VGs! -- And puleeze! Enough with the sad face! -- Nobody but nobody frowns following "ten fingers" of (even cheap) Scotch! Um... Prior to the following morning, that is! -- But then, perhaps, you begin with breakfast?

Re: your submission -- Clearly - #1 is the falsehood!!!

I also attended one meeting of the Masons. When I saw what they were about, I never went back.

I guess I said that wrong. I went to meet the Masons and found out what their goal was. I never jumped through hoops required to attend an official meeting. I just took one look and refused to engage.

 

I'd be a little surprised if #12 took an active part in this, since I know that he's a very private person

I will share my personality, my intellect, my experience, and my philosophy, but I won't share certain things about my real life. My first rule for the Internet is like a line in a movie: "Always be able to leave everything behind in 30 seconds."
If the Internet vanished today, nothing in my real life would change except the ability to gather certain information quickly.
The Internet is an incredible asset, but it can survive without knowing my real name or address.
I have told so many tales on this site that there is not much left unknown that I would be willing to share.
Trying to fool people that already know everything I am willing to tell is not a simple task.

This challenge requires 2 new facts and a falsehood.
I have seen this Thread for about 3 days and have not thought of 2 new facts I am willing to publish.

What is the equivalent spelling to names across languages, just the phonetically equal, No?
Max.

 

OK for my three.

2 is true, soloed in a Piper Cherokee.

3 True, but as @Hypatia's Protege pointed out, a statement as well as being true can also be deceptive.
I grew up 3 miles from Woodstock, the original Oxford one! (home of the palace of Duke of Marlborough).
From the age of 5 to 14 my summer holidays were spent in Woodstock Playing with local chums, where we would get into Tom Sawer type of activities.

1 is False! I did not drill for oil in the Libyan desert, although I was there serving at Her Imperial Majesties pleasure and actually stayed for a year in the compound that later
Qaddafi's would use as his HQ in Tripoli which later the US would bomb in an effort to rid the world of him.
I was also there at the time for this discovery south of Benghazi:

That was my point, phonetically, a G and a K sound different to me. I would have thought it would be easy for reporters and governments to determine which sound is made by native speakers, yet, somehow, government report writers, government press secretaries and the general press corps of the western world cannot even agree on whether it is a G or K sound.

I intended for it to be funny - a bit first made in the 1970s on Saturday night live - but I cannot control what other people view as funny.
