My house has a low-flow toilet
My boat was wired entirely with single-core BX cable at one point...
We added another outlet in my garage today for a chest freezer.

I used to live in a house built in 1955
It had a GE electric meter
My current house is not hooked up to grid power; I run off a generator and battery/inverter system

B is a lie because you live off grid thus don't have a meter. :P (unless you have one just in case they ever decide to sting some powerlines over your way lol)

The light in front of my house, the electrical meter on my house, and both of the circuit panels in my house along with all the circuit breakers and the light in my backyard are all General Electric.
My dad got a preowned 2011 Chevy Silverado recently, retiring the 1999 Ford F-150 that was more problems than it was worth.
I bought a 400W HPS ballast to stick in my M-400A2 to make it 400W HPS again.

Actually it was a lie since the house built in '55 WAS on the grid...but it had a Westinghouse electric meter with the flip-clock style digits!
Not sure about yours..maybe #3?

I know someone whose shop is lit with tons of old rapid start lights and they also have lots of insulators!
I heat my house with wood
My neighbor's truck has a roll bar

Yep #3 is a lie. The M-400A2s have been sitting dormant in the shed since i cleaned them out and will stay in there until spring I guess... I wanted to get the ballasts out of them and sand down the cores and paint them (not globbing it over the whole ballast like i did with the OV-10). I want to paint the capacitor cases too since they're all rusty. I'll use black since that's what i have and it'll look good, though silver would look better.

Most of my lamps are Sylvania lamps, counting HID, fluorescent, and incandescent.
I don't have any indoor-application HID fixtures.
Most of my street lights are over 175W.

oops. #2 and #3 were lies. :-[ #3 was supposed to say "175W or over". I have six Holophane highbays so i do have some indoor-use HIDs though they're in the shed ballast-less.

#2 for you?

1. I got my flu shot today
2. It's 11:07PM at my house right now
3. I'm going to sleep now...

#1 for you? I honestly don't care about watching sports lol. I like going to hockey games though once in a while. Other than that watching people run around with balls doesn't really entertain me at all...

1. I have a girlfriend.
2. I like to listen to heavy metal but i don't listen to it around my parents or other family members.
3. My lightest cobrahead (with the lens taken out of the equation, as some are glass and others are plastic) is my OVC.
