False. I'm no botanist, but I like the look and smell of beautiful flowers.
TNP knows an actual botanist.

Actually, yes. Well, a former bandmate went back to school a few years ago for that purpose. He's got a knack for mycology, and this being green country, like everyone else, knows about growing flowering plants in an atypical environment. ETA, yes, he should be done with his BS in Biology/Botany and, as far as I know, is out in the woods working for the government as a field researcher.
TNP has strong preferences among various branches of the hard sciences (we'll include the liberal arts like math and logic, in keeping with current dogma), like, you know, biology, chemistry, physics, etc.

Yes, I've always been interested in astronomy, although my math skills are laughable.
TNP has a favorite astronomical body other than the Earth, Sun and Moon.
Can't say as I do, though I liked the move "The Martian", and dreamed I was on Mars a few nights ago.
TNP is thinking of a career change, but can't really come up with anything to change to.
No, I'm pretty happy doing what I'm doing.
TNP has a family member or friend who made a major career change in 2015.
Yeah, sure. That was last year, so that's true.
TNP has been annoyed very recently by an old friend, pestering him or her about some idealogues irrelevant to the mainstream of Western thought and culture.
No, I seem to have missed that particular blessing.
TNP has already seen Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakes.
No, not yet.
TNP has seen The Hateful Eight
No, but I really want to! That, Concussion and Spotlight are the movies on my hope-soon-to-see list.
TNP would discourage any young person he or she knows from playing American-style football.
Yeah, probably, although kids gotta follow their dreams.
TNP could eat a tuna sandwich right about now.
Mmmm. Yes, I could. On rye bread with lettuce and mayo, and a kosher dill pickle on the side, please.
TNP likes pickles.
True. Not too sour, though. And pickles are the only thing that make McDonald's burgers bearable.
TNP had a life-changing Christmas/New Year season.
No, pretty much nice but within normal range.
TNP would like to know why Trojan Man asked that specific question.
Most definitely.
TNP will be Trojan Man, and he will answer.
True. I asked because I had a life-changing Christmas/New Year season.
TNP likes cranberry juice.
Yep. Not too sweet, perfect for a nice Capecoddah in the yahd.
TNP is Trojan Man, and is prepared to give a full account of his pharmacological experiments conducted over "the" holidays.
Um... Beer, wine, vodka, champagne, coffee liqueur, tobacco, paracetamol.
TNP likes peaches.
No. I'm having trouble with an old friend from Georgia who reminded me that bloviating French literary critics still exist among the true believers. And that state, Georgia, is where peaches come from.
TNP thinks the term "peach" means too many things and should be stricken.
No, I have no objection to the many uses of the term peach (although I don't care for the taste or texture of the fruit itself).

TNP demands details.
Yes, yes I do.
TNP will provide them.
Come back, Trojan Man!
I might be residing in Russia soon.
TNP likes pretzels.
(More details about your possible Russian move would be welcome, but OK, thanks!)
I like some pretzels - hot, chewy-soft, salty ones fresh from the oven, or the Berlin pretzel chips of various flavors. Just those two kinds.
TNP likes just about any kind of pretzel.
I guess -- haven't had one I really hated. Strong preference for the chewy kind, nice and hot, with very coarse salt on it. Wait just a damn minute, Steely Dan's *Pretzel Logic* -- not their finest effort, IMHO. Just kidding, I don't have any Steely Dan albums....
TNP uses the word "discharge" quite a bit in day-to-day life.
No, pretty rarely, I think. Maybe if I were either a doctor specializing in STDs, or an employment lawyer...?
TNP consulted a lawyer in the past three months.
No fucking way. But you know who should talk to a lawyer? The person moving to COMMUNIST RUSSIA.
TNP has a favorite actress who played...what's her name *Anna Karenina* in a movie. literally just now found out Keira Knightley did her a few years ago, so EH must, should he answer this one, pick someone else. why? I don't know, but that seems sporting.
I see there have been 17 film adaptations of Anna Karenina: ). Greta Garbo, Vivien Leigh and Jacqueline Bisset all played the role and were smokin' back in the day, but I haven't seen them in it... so, to be "sporting," I guess I have to answer "false."
TNP has seen more than one film version of Anna Karenina.
Anna who? Never seen it.
TNP is holding on for the weekend.
Nope. Just came off a three-day weekend and I'm feeling good.
TNP has been to Russia.
No, not even close.
TNP can think of some good reasons for visiting Russia.
Oh, definitely. I'd want to see the Kremlin, Bolshoi Theatre and Metro in Moscow, the Hermitage and Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, the giant victory statue at Stalingrad (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Motherland_Calls) and a WWII mass grave or two.
TNP has no interest in historic graves, mass or otherwise.
False. Some of my best walks have been through cemeteries, other ghoulish places, just digging around for cool stuff, sort of. Enjoying the limestone dripping horrible things into the mouth and eyes, and stuff.
TNP is superstitious.
Nah, not really, although I would never mention that someone has a no- hitter going.
TNP likes brandy.
Yeah, I do. It's like rich people whiskey. Although the names for some of the mixed drinks are pretty queer -- "Brandy Alexander"? Oh, yes, m'lord, straight from the kitchens of Count Alexandreyovitch.
TNP despises using other peoples' computers.
They're sometimes more trouble than they're worth, yes. But any port in a storm.
TNP has been on a sailboat in the past six months.
No. Which is good, because I get seasick very easily.
TNP will have a drink for me on Australia Day.
I see it's tomorrow - and I'll be glad to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Day
TNP didn't know about Australia Day before now.
That's a new one for me too. And I also will have a drink if I can manage to not polish off this fifth of vodka tonight -- I'll be toasting Australia AND mother Russia at the same time! Pretty slick, eh?
TNP is feeling kind of wimpy in the arms lately and needs to start getting pumped up soon.
I'm no Ahnuld, but I think I'm strong enough.
TNP has seen an Ahnuld movie in the past six months.
No. And that's OK with me.
TNP likes beer with lemon in it.
Yeah, like it fine.
TNP likes tequila.
Now and then, sure. It's been a long time, though.
TNP wants to go to Mexico soon.
I don't know about "soon." We'll stick with "false" for that one. I don't want to get my head cut off and put on a pike, and I can see naked ladies consort with burros and I can drink tequila pretty much anywhere.
TNP wouldn't mind going to Russia sometime soon. Vodka, chess, math, ladies with raven-black hair and big boobies -- sounds pretty good.
Yeah, that does sound OK, but I'll say "False" as there are lots of places I'd like to go before I get to Putinland.
TNP would like to travel on a freighter cruise.
Sounds like fun. I'm getting a bit past the age when some freighter headed to Shanghai would think, "Yeah, grab that white boy and make him swab the decks." I suspect they might think, "Dude, get a fresher one -- do you want to throw two hundred pounds of chewed bubblegum overboard after five miles?"
TNP thinks traveling is not all that fun.
Generally true. I often like the place - wherever it is - once I'm there, but the process of getting there can be a pain in the ass.
TNP has a big trip planned out of his or her country for 2016.
Hoping to visit NZ at some stage.
TNP really despairs of humanity sometimes.
Sometimes? Eh, it doesn't matter. I don't know what "humanity" is, though, and neither does anyone else, so I'm not losing any sleep over it.
TNP has been sleeping a good eight hours/day for the past week.
A little short of that, actually. Should be getting more sleep than I am.
TNP is going out to the movies tonight.
No way. Movie theaters are prime vectors of contagion -- I was young once, and I know for a fact what kind of nasty shit goes down in a theater. And then you get past the concession stand.
TNP hasn't bought anything at a movie food/concession/whatever besides a ticket in a long time.
