    False. Just two or three times, though, and that was enough.

    TNP absolutely loves caviar.

    False. It's good.

    TNP likes eating at old school steakhouses.

    True! Not every day, mind you, but several times a year would suit me just fine.

    TNP knows at least six vegetarians.

    Hmmm...probably not...have known a fair number of lapsed ones over the years.

    TNP knows someone who keeps Kosher.

    I guess technically I know a few, but they're kind of from a long time ago. Not anyone I can think of at the moment whom I know personally.

    TNP has well-ingrained opinions about the various sects of Judaism.

    Not particularly. I just want everyone to live together in peace and harmony.

    TNP likes this arrangement of Strauss's Blue Danube:

    You really don't want to know what I think of that arrangement. Also, Bubba is a sexist because he insists on controlling the sustain pedal. No, I just hate everything about that. De gustibus, whatever. Also, the visual photo montage is the worst kind of treacle I have ever seen.

    eta i wasn't suggesting criticism, just the ideas that orthodox are whatever, hasidim are whatever, reform are whatever

    TNP knows some good musicians who should really try to try to be good. eta I'm not convinced Anderson and Roe are good musicians. in fact, I'm convinced they're the opposite -- I'm talking about real artists

    Anderson and Roe are *at best* barely competent technicians.

    I would be happy if either of them performed with sensitivity any....ANY....piece of music.

    ETA they are the worst kind of scum. I hate their "arrangements," their showmanship, their "technique," their taste, and anything else about them. I would have a hard time giving them a hand out of a subway station should they need it. It makes me sick.

    TNP likes to take his or her shoes and socks off when he or she gets home.

    Weather permitting, definitely. I'm barefoot around the house most of the summer, f'rinstance.

    TNP owns more than 10 pairs of shoes.

    Hells yeah. I'm not happy about any of it.

    TNP wouldn't mind living on a private island for a few years (NOT a euphemism for a state hospital ward, but like a Marlon Brando-type island).

    That certainly has its appeal - but there's too much I like to do in the big city for me to want to give it up for that long.

    TNP has lived for more than five years of his or her life in a big city.

    Yep. if there isn't a corner store less than a mile away to go buy a quick roll of toilet paper or a beer or whatever, AFAIC, it's not living at all

    TNP really dislikes the "miserable sickness" of automobile culture. I think that quote was from Orson Welles in reference to his picture *The Magnificent Ambersons* - well, it was pretty near to what he said anyway.

    Yes. Hope it is corrected in the future.

    Having grown up on a farm, not as much as all that.

    TNP really likes cupcakes, and wishes the cupcake mania of a few years ago had lasted longer.

    No. Absolutely not. At MOST I can tolerate little girls who have some kind of weird fetish for cupcakes. No. I find sweets of any kind disgusting, and I think less of any man under sixty (or so) who craves them.

    TNP thinks he or she is a pretty macho guy (girl, whatever).

    I don't consider myself macho at all, although coming from a farm, I can handle a gun, knife, axe or flame better than most folks in my current social class.

    TNP likes to buy stuff from Orvis.

    I have now and then, but not so often that I'd say I like to do so.

    Quite true. I know just enough about it to know I really don't want to see it.

    TNP has a particular movie he or she would like to see this month.

    Many. Many. Many, DVDs get scratched too often, but I like to stroll down memory lane. I could watch *Rififi* right now, but I don't know if my copy is any good.

    TNP likes to watch movies like a mental patient or the way stoners like to listen to their favorite Pink Floyd or Hendrix albums -- once is good, more is better.

    Generally not. I tend to seek out stuff I haven't already seen. Still, among the movies I've often watched are Aliens, Dark City, Notorious, Casablanca, Limitless, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, True Lies, Trading Places, The Fellowship of the Ring, Breaker Morant and The Incredibles.

    TNP loves at least two of those movies.

    Yeah. It took me until pretty recently to admit that *Casablanca* is a pretty good film. Of course I'd seen it about a million times before hand. *Notorious*? Yes, I've always liked that picture. *Breaker Morant* I would put in the "pretty entertaining" category. Oh yeah, *Aliens* is key!

    TNP used the public library a bunch as a kid (define it how you want).

    It is to laugh. No, I've gotten rid of books I either hate or will never, ex princibus, read again, but there's still a shitload i haven't fully digested.

    TNP does not tolerate well morons.

    I like it OK. My favorites, though, are mint chocolate chip, Heath Bar crunch and mocha.

    Well, true. Except that Ozzers i know kind of resent it a bit (or else they take it as a fact of life). I think it'd be a good thing for Americans. I know all the arguments against compulsory service, in whatever form, but I believe a person's worth should be measured in terms of the stake they put in. Yeah, it's not practical, but I think it's an ideal to hope for.

    TNP hasn't given up hope, in whatever form.

    Absolutely. Huge impact on pop culture, providing access to video and audio remarkably easily (despite the annoying ads).

    TNP has bought something seen in an ad in the past week.

    Probably not in the past week, but it really depends on how you define an "ad"? Sign in a convenience store window? Link to a random website? Recommendation from a friend to go see a movie? I'm not really sure what's an "ad" and what is just "word of mouth," or even some kind of mysterious power of suggestion.

    TNP can't watch TV advertisements without getting that sinking feeling deep in his or her gut.


    Sorry about that, got ninja'd. Gah, no. That sounds pretty rough. Uh, you do know people go permanently blind from detached retinas, right? So, assuming you made it out in one piece, you probably should be feeling pretty lucky you were on the ball and had the good treatment.

    TNP knows (or knew) at least one blind person he or she was close to, as a friend.

    Some acquaintances, but no friends, I'd have to say.

    (Sorry, RET, for your eye problems. PM me if I may help).

    True. If I shoot an animal, it will only be with a camera.

    (Lombardy Pudding Elk are a running gag on the SDMB).

    Yes, I have a mild case of tinnitus. Not usually a problem.

    TNP is following the Richard III reburial story.
