I'm a terrible liar and pretty bad at spotting lies too!  I was playing this sort of game with somebody a while ago and failed miserably. 

Anyway, I would say that this is possibly an unusual choice for a lie, because you've picked something which is quite specific and also quite plausible (and I think I actually like the idea of the salad vegetables being separate ).  For me, it's probably not the sort of thing I would think to say, unless I actually did it!   On the other hand, I'm thrown because I don't know if it's possible to scoop cream out of coffee, unless it's Irish coffee or whipped cream. 

I'm going to go for .... True!

Almost forgot ...

I used to play the clarinet in my school orchestra.  True or false?

Mine was false. I wish I could play the clarinet!  Although I did play in the school orchestra.

Hello Kitty pillow: my instinct tells me, "true"!  Because ... why not?  But then I think ... every night?  What if you go away somewhere?  What if the pillow is being washed and dried? And I can't answer "true" to everything!   So I'm going to say  ... False!

As I don't know you, it's rather guessing, right?
I'm a pretty good liar, at least people tell me this. But I hate lying, so I don't do it very often and only when circumstances request it (e.g. denying that a secret birthday party is being plannend :D )

I eat my food seperately too, so I'm pretty sure that's true. Sounds plausible.
Hello kitty pillow... could be true, and that would be cool, because I don't believe in "act your age"... it's boring. Also people like to share silly secrets with the world, so I'd guess that more people would tell the truth in this thread than create a lie. But as far as instincts go, I don't think your Hello Kitty pillow is true (sorry if it is!^^)
Picked up by a cop - yeah, why not. But I say no, because I don't know any cops who would do that ;)

I don't know what (not) to lie about myself. I like drowning paperbacks in the bath.

I don't, cos it's book abuse. Ha.

Oh, that's an interesting one.  Because if they were named Sherlock, then people wouldn't be likely to describe them as named after the brothers.  So it would have to be Mycroft.   Although it could be "Holmes", I suppose, but then I'd think they (I don't like to assume it's a man) were named after Sherlock rather than named after one of the brothers.  Or a middle name (do they have middle names?). 

Babies do get named after literary characters.   If you were a big Sherlock Holmes fan and wanted to choose a male name for your child, I could see Sherlock as being too obvious.   John is too common, which leaves you with Mycroft. 

Children get given worse names than Mycroft, so I'm going to go with "true". 

And I just noticed yours, Besleybean.  I'm going to say "true" because it's a common thing to happen.   It could even be a neighbour who is a cop giving you a lift. 

OK, I'm just answering that everything's true.  You're all making me realise how gullible I am .

Well, mine is true and Liberty is correct that it's Mycroft. He has a sister named Shirley and is convinced his parents got that from Sherlock although they denied it till their dying day. Anyway, he's the loveliest, sweetest, and most generous human being on the planet and just Mycroft. It's no weirder than having friends named John.

I shouldn't want books to be drowned ... but I'm a bath reader, and worry about getting the slightest bit of wet on books, so I loved the idea of wilfully drowning them!  It sounds even better now you describe it. 

It's so nice that you met a helpful cop, Besleybean.  I've also been picked up by helpful cops when I was hitchhiking! 

I wish I knew your real life Mycroft, Mary .

I will not mention the fact that you are talking about drowning books.

True or False? I have posters of Moriarty quotes all over my walls.
