This may sound odd but I find it more likely you were chased by a rhino than in the final audition round for The Apprentice (and I don't even watch that program.) I'm going with #2 as the lie.

I replayed that "clothespin" video four times and I still can not tell what is happening there. It means holding the palm of your hand out and forcing someone to do a face-plant in it? That doesn't sound right.

You should ask Mr. SoCal. You clothesline someone with your arm held out straight (usually around their neck area). Usually the other guy "sells" it and it that particular video, Rikishi made it really look brutal by flipping in the air like that.

Should I explain "Spiderman Origin"?
I'm learning a lot about you in this thread, IHO. Namely that I am a little bit afraid of you.

Yes... be afraid... be very afraid. :P

the lie was number 1...i suck at music

on a whim, i went to the san diego audition call for apprentice and somehow caught some producer's eye so got invited to the next round.  well a few rounds later, it was down the final 50 from about 15000 applicants nationwide and 18 of them would make the show.  i didnt get to meet trump but he did pick the final 18 so in a way i got the "you're fired" line from him :)

1. I'm allergic to strawberries.
2. I hate rollercoasters.
3. I can't parallel park.

This is tough. I've never heard of anyone being allergic to strawberries but you also seem too fun-spirited to not like rollercoasters. I'm going with: #1 is the lie.

You are right!

I'm the biggest wimp when it comes to rides...hence my hatred of rollercoasters. I won't willingly go on any ride that goes downhill at a high rate of speed. Not even Pirates of the Caribbean, or the Log Ride at Knott's. Thank you for saying I'm fun-spirited, though. :) But I'm not too much fun at amusement parks.

Can you elaborate on this one, then?:
"2) I tried out for American Idol, made it to the second round but didn't show up to rehearsals so I was cut."

Does Round 2 = getting the ticket to Hollywood? Why didn't you show up to rehearsals?! What kind of comments did you get from the judges? What kind of music do you sing? Do you have a Youtube video of yourself singing? Let's hear it!  :)

That ticket to Hollywood stuff is really like the 3rd to 4th round.  They have "scouts" come around and pretty much weed the crowd down the first few days of auditioning.  My buddy and I were pulled aside by a few scouts and were told to come in for another rehearsal/audition in front of some other scouts to see if we could perform in front of the "real judges". 

I didn't show up because I had school and work obligations... I knew I wasn't going to win anyways.. I look and sound like William Hung... they  probably just wanted me there for the comedy portion of America Idol  :P

Round 2 really means getting another chance to perform in front of other scouts to see if you qualify to perform infront of the Idol Judges.  Don't think the judges are going to listen to a gazillion people in a few days  :P
 
Yeah... from what people have told me... the first few rounds of auditions are mayhem. Lots of quality singers get overlooked because they don't have the "vibe" while many of the "weird enough for TV" make it through. You can tell by Hollywood week they are weeding people out not just by performance but by type of personality, look and I hate to say it... but even ethnicity (like how Heejun made it to the top X this season is beyond me... he is funny though).

I'm going to have to get Homer to sing a few bars of "She Bangs" before I make my William Hung comparison.
 
You don't think Heejun has a good voice? Reeeeally?? I lurve the tone of his voice!! Jimmy commented that he sees a big Asian influence in music becoming a trend in this country (one Heejun could fill?) and I think he's absolutely right. Heejun is so smooth, funny, and cute. It was terrible to see him go. I definitely think he should have outlasted Skylar. I don't really like "little Reba" however I think all of the contenders left are superior to the finalists in the last few seasons. It's really hard to choose. Joshua & Deandre are my most favorites. I'll go with Joshua as the winner. That guy is going to be around a long time. Mantasia!
