    Not especially. Not much an anglophile, I'm afraid.

    TNP has some stupid chores to take care of at home, things that couldn't really be put off much longer.

    Yes. We really should clean and refinish our wooden floors.

    TNP has black and white tile in at least one room of his or her abode.

    No! I have lived in a place for a number of years with that kind of *Clue: The Boardgame* tiling, but I don't think I know anyone currently with that kind of design.

    TNP thinks the classic styles are the best.

    Generally, yes. Although I like some modern architecture, for instance.

    TNP has been to Fallingwater: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallingwater

    No. I might have been in spitting distance of it, probably. I used to walk by a FLW house all the time, I think it was a place you could pay to go inside and stuff. Never went in.

    TNP likes museums/zoos/stuff like that.

    Oh, yeah. Museums - both history and art - are big draws for me.

    TNP has been in Atlanta in the past five years.

    No, but I join my nephews for an easter egg hunt -- I think the "prizes" are those little gold-wrapped coins hidden inside little plastic eggs. And, yes, I refrain from taking all the gelt for myself.

    TNP likes hot cocoa as a drink, kind of to a disturbing degree.

    False, never seen it. Come close to living it on occasions, but never seen it.

    TNP has purchased a limited edition item of some description, as in less than 10,000 made.

    Hmm. No, I don't think so. Tempted sometimes, but always too expensive, whatever it was.

    TNP has a favorite sports car, even if he or she doesn't own one.

    I don't know. A black towncar, with tinted windows, and a driver would be the best, but I don't think chauffeurs (or chauffeuses?) come with the cars.

    TNP has, in recent memory read a book by, or met somebody, named "Mordechai" (first name).humorous, I just now found an extract from a book by Bentley, and also am reading a book by Priest -- they are all connected, somehow.

    No, I don't think so.

    TNP has a relative named Catherine, Katherine, Kathryn or some variant thereof.

    No. I had a girlfriend named Katie once. Not sure if that was short for something. We lived together like a year, so I probably should know. I think it might have been Katharine, with that weird spelling. Maybe not.

    TNP smashed the shit out of everyone's hardboiled eggs except my oldest nephew -- I went easy on him. The secret? Find where the air is in the egg, and don't use that end. I had a brown egg, too. I called it my Bob Gibson brown bomber egg.

    No, since I don't know any of your nephews! The closest I came to that today was throwing out some hardboiled-egg remnants that no one else wanted.

    TNP ate at least three jelly beans today.

    False. The days of holding my head down and the nights of sleeping on my side, waiting for the gas bubble in my eye to go away are starting to wear on me.

    TNP ate ham yesterday and will eat it today.

    False. I ate ham yesterday and ate my foil-wrapped "doggie bag" of ham yesterday as soon as I got home as well.

    TNP likes to fast.

    Now and then, yes. I feel virtuous and sometimes even lose a little weight that way.

    TNP will be traveling out of town in the next two weeks.

    Nope. I like 'em either way, with a good dash of salt.

    TNP prefers bacon to sausage.

    No. Bacon is delish, but it goes too fast. It's easy to eat a giant mound of bacon at once, whereas sausage is a better addition to a real meal. Rice, legumes, eggs, sandwiches, soups, stews, fallen-on-the-floor-mulligans, etc.

    TNP prefers homemade sausage to store-bought.

    Again, no, I'm happy with either. I'm not a purist when it comes to breakfast meats.

    TNP finds this restful (it repeats every eight minutes or so):

    It's very nice. But I don't find it restful especially. Too much going on to concentrate on. TMI but I really dislike having music on when I screw also.

    TNP likes the sound of silence.

    Yes. One of my most memorable such experiences was on the shore of a lake in northern Wisconsin when I was a teenager. Absolutely, uncannily silent.

    TNP likes Simon & Garfunkel.

    Definitely. The Girl Scout cookies in that flavor were also quite good (don't think they're offered this year).

    TNP has spoken with an elected official in the past month.

    False. Given my line of work, it's fairly routine for me to speak to one, but not lately.

    TNP needs another damn retinal detachment surgery next week and is getting pretty damn tired of thinking about retinal detachment.

    No, fortunately! Hope it goes well for you. (I've thought of Lasik eye surgery now and then, but am just a bit too leery of having lasers near my eyeballs. I'm funny that way.)

    TNP has more than three pairs of prescription eyewear.

    No, probably exactly three. Cheaters, regular, and a backup regular put together with crazy glue.

    TNP is thinking about buying some more stylish frames for regular glasses, and maybe with some tinting added (not to look cool, necessarily, but to deal with the irritation of fluorescent lights [or, generally, overhead lights of any kind]).

    Yes, but not COGIC, more like mellow inter-denominational things, which were more kind of mixed-race events, people from the neighborhood.

    TNP knows what "shouting" is, for a church in praise.

    No, doesn't sound like something I would have encountered growing up Anglican.

    TNP has been to a chiropractor.

    No. Too many chiropractors overstate the effectiveness and applicability of their skill IMHO.

    Yes, about ten days ago. Nice clean teeth, and I'm going to keep them that way, unlike my usual. Only three "fours" for gum recession -- the rest are 3s. Pretty nasty exposed roots on two teeth in particular. Apparently I have no cavities, so that's good -- and surprising, given my love for drinking beer and my diet of pretty much exclusively rice (the carbohydrate sugars are not supposed to be good for the teeth), and, after having enough beer, I never ever brush my teeth.

    TNP has a good dentist and is very happy with his or her hygienist, which is good, because I pay out of pocket for that shit, so they better be fucking good.

    Yes, I've been going to the same dentist for many years now. Nice lady.

    TNP has heard the Steven Wright joke, "I like my dentist so much, I eat an entire package of Oreos just before I go in to see her. She has to cancel all of her other appointments for the rest of the day."

    Some are, but not all - maybe not even most. As a group, then, I'd have to say no.

    I vaguely remembered that. Brooks produced and helped bankroll Lynch's The Elephant Man, I know.
