Yeah, that would suit me OK.
TNP has a habit of wearing a certain item of clothing on a certain day of the week.

TNP has a habit of wearing a certain item of clothing on a certain day of the week.
Yes. I usually help my mom at some time during the week lifting boxes and helping out. Jeans, plaid shirt, and some Merrill hiking shoes which are almost falling apart after....1500? miles or so.
TNP has been pleasantly surprised at not only not-being yentzed, but being given FREE service by a kindly jeweler (or other service provider). "yentz" is Yiddish, and it is not remotely "anti-semitic," whatever that means.
No, can't say that I have.
See post 5549, and: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/anti-semitic?s=t
TNP has seen The Martian, or wants to soon.
No. Never heard of it.
TNP has been to a Holocaust memorial recently. in my case, it was this morning -- kind of gloomy, thinking of Spielrein and St. Edith Stein
No. Not sure I ever have been.
As to The Martian:
TNP would go to Mars if given the chance.
Probably not. I like to take vacations in my mind.
TNP has never played Angry Birds, but is addicted to 2048 or another "app"
True, I have never played Angry Birds, but false, as the only gaming addiction I have is Tetris, and that's pretty mild. I sometimes go weeks without playing.
TNP likes Tetris.
I fucking love Tetris. That's big affirmative. Except I think, just like Castle Wolfenstein done on cocaine and whiskey back ca mid-1990s, it's probably going to give somebody a young, corn-fed, all-star kid a heart attack and then they'll ban it. Only reason to use emacs (text editor)!
TNP thinks "fly-over country" is said, not just as a "thing," but for good reasons.alternate TNP: TNP has been frustrated recently by running out of "space" on a drive and is kicking himself or herself for not bringing a backup. fucking asshole-eating motherfuckers. see? no "jew"s anywhere. Also EETA: TNP has been swarmed personally by boxelder bugs recently -- you know what they are. they just never had the moxy to land on ME before. break out the borax

I live in "fly-over country," and unless it's said ironically or as a joke, no, it's not said for good reason - it's annoying and arrogant.
TNP has been in NYC and LA in the same week.
Hmm...no, been in both, but not that close together.
TNP likes NYC better than LA.
I think so, yeah, but I haven't been in LA enough to really do a fair comparison.
TNP always goes to the best art museum when visiting a new city.
Probably? There are [s]fly-over[/s] places that don't have art museums, but I try to check out the local attractions. Basket-weaving HQ, or whatever it is.
TNP thinks some local exhibits/attractions are more fun than the big-league stuff. Analogy time: sometimes AAA ball is more fun to watch than the majors.
Absolutely. Lots of cool little museums and galleries out there.
TNP buys postcards wherever he or she goes.
I don't know about "try," but I enjoy postcards and buy them whenever I feel like it.
TNP has a few habits when visiting a new town -- see the sights, that kind of thing.
Yes, I try to get to the best local museum, historic site and restaurant(s), time and budget permitting.
TNP has had a particularly good meal in the past week.
No, I have not. McDonald's, rice, some navy beans, tomatoes, a shitload of whiskey, some beer. Oh yeah, I guess exactly a week ago I cooked some pinto beans. Margarine, vegetable oil, salt. And water. ETA I have to emend my earlier answer -- no, I probably don't buy postcards wherever I go. But I still like them and have been known to buy them. For what reasons unclear.
TNP is enjoying an unreasonably early nightfall, which features an unreasonably clear night, with seasonably seasonal weather.

Yes, pretty much, on all of those points.
Fall is TNP's favorite season.
Undecided -- sure, i guess.
TNP despises feeling light-headed and dizzy it's what madness probably feels like
True, I don't like it.
TNP has felt light-headed and dizzy in the past three days.
Nah, not really.
TNP has felt pretty thick-headed and stolid in the past three days.
True dat.
TNP has owned more than five cellphones.
I think so -- four or five, maybe. I buy 'em and break 'em, seems to be.
TNP is having a pretty bad week, starting with last weekend.
No, other than some headaches from DirecTV ("insufficient bandwidth," my ass), life is good.
TNP has cursed at his or her computer lately.
No, not at all. I always view the computer machine with suspicion, though. It's a way of being.
TNP has terrorized a woman driver who was "blocking the box" (with an umbrella or otherwise) recently. For example, yes, she raised her hands above the wheel, palms facing outward, shaking them along with her head. I didn't need to do that, but I did.
Not having the slightest idea what you mean, I'll have to say "no, I haven't."
TNP understands Morse Code.
We had to learn it in seventh grade science -- at least the alphabet. That's hardly understanding it, though. "SOS" is the only word I know.
"blocking the box" is when an incompetent boob of a driver doesn't look ahead to the stopped traffic ahead of his or her vehicle and is stuck in the middle of an intersection (including crosswalks) when the opposite direction has green lights.
TNP uses an umbrella to wipe trash off a bench or occasionally a sidewalk into a more appropriate place.

No, I'm more likely to use my foot or a nearby stick.
TNP has a favorite walking stick.
Never had one. Glad I don't, because of this.
TNP is kind of curious who is going to end up heading the Buffalo Crime family.
No, but whoever it is, I'm sure he'll be furry and have big shoulders: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...on_k5680-1.jpg.
TNP has been to Buffalo, N.Y. in the past year.
No, not that recently.
TNP has outgrown the teenage interest in mobsters, but still doesn't have anything personal against the individuals. eta, La Pizza Nova kind of sucked and had mediocre wings. I'd like to see Panaro take over the whole enterprise. I don't know why, but I like those guys.

I don't know why I said that, I have no problem with the T****** or no love for the P******, it's just getting old trying to not say nice stuff about regular people. eta I said it -- Buffalo, home of the breakfast pizza. Shit that is some good stuff. i should just start a BuffaloNY thread, call it rust belt or something.
TNP enjoys getting old.

Eh, it's a mixed bag. I don't mind the gray hair; I'm not crazy about the back pain.
TNP hurt his or her back in the past month.
No. Thank heavens, no. That sounds horrible.
TNP has been smiled at by an extremely arousing, interesting-looking woman today. Or in the past few days.
That would be my wife, and yes.
TNP has been to a wedding in the past six months.
Nope. Hate em.
TNP is or knows a minister of the Universal Life Church
Nope. Hate em.
TNP is or knows a minister of the Universal Life Church
Nah, I don't even know if they ordain people in Canada.
TNP is planning to watch at least some of the World Series.
No. I haven't seen a single MLB game all year. Actually, I never seem to watch more than one or two games at most.
TNP helped someone brand new to computers get set up with a computer recently. It's like watching a dog playing poker.
No, I'd be massively unqualified for that. Checking my email, surfing the Web and word processing is about the limit of my computer proficiency.
TNP has written a letter on his or her computer recently.
If by "letter" you mean "drunken screed," then sure. Wait a minute -- I write texts on my laptop and send them to people's phones all the time (I have fat thumbs, and am a slow texter on a phone). I guess those are "notes." Probably in the last few months, an actual letter, though.
TNP is not going out or seeing anybody on Halloween. I've refused an invitation just a few minutes ago.
True, will just sit home and watch TV while the kid hands out candy to the trick-or-treaters.
TNP isn't quite sure when Halloween became Slutoween.
False. It's been in the past decade.
TNP has no particular objection to Slutoween.
Nope. I don't mind at all if some twenty-something hipster wants to get drunk and dress up as a sexy kitty cat. Kind of weird, but whatever. Stupid kids.
TNP has garbage-disposed something that wasn't supposed to be pulverized, like Bill Devane's hand or a sponge/scouring pad.
Nah, garbage disposals aren't that common in Canada. Last time we were in the States, though, the kid tried running some leftover octopus through the hotel room disposal, and it didn't work out that great.
TNP has apparently run out of all energy for performing any errand isn't totally routine.
Nope. I redeemed an unused $0.82 on a grocery store gift card today. Was expecting a giant hassle, even had some choice lines all picked out. "Well, I'm really not asking you to do me a favor..." and stuff about consumer protection laws and stuff. Because that grocery store is downtown and sucks. Easy enough, though -- it was almost disappointing.
TNP witnessed an insanely stupid car-driver today almost get hit by a bus.
Yeah, unfortunately.
TNP wishes they would invent teleportation, since all of the ordinary methods of getting to work suck.
False. I don't know about getting my molecules all scrambled in some machine ray. But walking/using a train/bus/monorail/taxi/chauffeured car is OK. That or using these new-fangled computers and teleport data seems to work OK.
TNP is in a Halloween (or whatever) costume right now. I'm Hunter Thompson -- I'd do a picture now but my aviator shades and cigarette holder are tucked away in my bag and I don't want to get it out. Plus, I didn't go full on -- shorts, floral-print Hawaiian-type shirt, sun hat, and black converse sneakers with no socks. Didn't shave my head.
No, but my youngest son went trick-or-treating tonight in his homemade U.S. postal box costume (and got a lot of compliments).
TNP remembers well the last time he or she went trick-or-treating.
