    Also the ticket.


    TNP will eat deep fried ice cream today.

    The day is young, but I am pretty sure it's negatory on that one.

    TNP hates IKEA.

    I don't really know, so since I dislike someone from Sweden IRL, yes, I hate it.

    TNP didn't know that a "pint" of liquor in the United States is really not even close to 16 ounces, but DID know it is 375 ml. (But never put those facts together: cite)

    No, I didn't know that. But it's rare that I look at the labels on bottles.

    TNP has been to a liquor store in the past month.

    TNP has had an enjoyable conversation with someone from another continent recently, whom one knows IRL.

    No. Did we miss yours? If so, hope it was (otherwise) a good one!

    TNP knows three unrelated people with the same birthday.

    Absolutely not, since I'm not planning on being in a shipwreck or otherwise fleeing for my life in the water.

    True, although I'm not going to tell you what they were while I die in the rain on an L.A. rooftop.

    TNP sure would like to see attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

    No, C-beams are better up-close. That Rutger Hauer? No, it's Helmut Berger.

    TNP has a good opinion of WS Gilbert these days. But Sullivan can still go to hell, pretty much.

    No, not at all - they were a team, and definitely greater than the sum of their parts.

    TNP has seen Topsy-Turvy: .

    Nope. Never even heard of it. Mike Leigh, huh. Looks good, but doesn't start soon. Noted.

    TNP has been astonished by a recent fact related to measurement recently, as in "there are about 34 drinks in a 5L box of wine." Shocking. That's too much to consume in one sitting for one person. Who knew?

    Well, the confirmation of the existence of gravitational waves exactly a century after Einstein predicted them is pretty cool.

    TNP's favorite genius of all time is Albert Einstein.

    Nope. I'm sure he was good at the life sciences, or whatever, though, so good for him. Friends with Goedel, though, so he was probably kind of amusing in life.

    TNP is pretty annoyed by a few people at this very moment.

    A few, but nothing I'm feeling too stabby about.

    TNP will go out to the movies this weekend.

    No. I would like to see the movie about the Hitchcock-Truffaut encounter, but not enough to bother going to the one place I know of that sells Night Train (the preferred movie theater beverage) and find if it's playing somewhere.

    TNP has a list.

    Not really. I was initially thinking about the "you just made my list, pal" sort, but realized that I have many lists of other kinds as well. So, actually, any list.

    TNP does not enjoy the cutting of paper with scissors, or the using of the glue.

    Don't mind scissors at all; glue can get messy.

    TNP has at least three pairs of scissors in the house.

    That is wrong, on so many levels. Well, just that one. I'm a minimalist -- five music keyboards, but one pair of scissors cuts them all. Nose hairs, regular hair (in desperate times), paper, thread, and, well just those.

    TNP has never worn a brown suit, but, if not, is not opposed to the idea.

    False. I had a brown suit once, when I was in college and had an internship on Capitol Hill. I now regret it (the suit, not the internship).

    TNP owns at least three suits.

    No, I'm OK for now. My oft-worn grey flannel pants (not part of a suit) are fraying a bit, though.

    TNP will be sorry to see Downton Abbey come to an end.

    I'm out of the loop as far as *Downtown Abbey* goes. So, I guess false.

    TNP is often disappointed in the quality of Costco's so-called "hiking" socks. Or other kinds of socks.

    Yeah, dunno about Costco, but most socks are disappointing, especially ones made out of something that's supposed to be good for the environment.

    TNP has watched a professional Lacrosse game.

    False. I have seen a few minutes of a high school game, but that's it.

    TNP thinks lacrosse is a pretty cool sport.

    Speak of the devil. I didn't time it or anything, but now that you mention it, I'm outside now and have been for probably over an hour. Got to take advantage of the nice weather while you can. ETA goddammit, the grammar is effing with me. I guess false, because the tense is wrong. But in the spirit of the question, not the letter, true. However, the intent of the question is to ask about some future plan, so in the spirit of that inquiry, I'll say, false, since I don't have any idea what the weather will be like tomorrow, and if raining I'll probably just have a chilled-out Sunday at home.

    TMI for the TNP. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

    TNP has dealt with the health problems of a beloved relative extremely well recently -- cool, calm, practical, and awesome.

    No, that hasn't been necessary, fortunately.

    It's unseasonably warm, and I'm writing this in shorts, a T-shirt and bare feet, but no, I'm quite comfortable at the moment.

    TNP has special plans for Leap Year Day.

    No, I had none. In fact, until yesterday morning, at about eleven, I didn't know it was one.

    TNP thinks some customer-service people are getting too big for their britches these days.

    I don't talk to them often enough to have an opinion on the matter.

    TNP is following the U.S. presidential campaign pretty closely.

    Not really. Too many people I don't care about, and in my state, primaries are handled automatically according to how one is registered as a voter, and I'm not planning on going to any rallies. In fact, at this moment, I'm liking Trump, just because it's ridiculous, and I kind of like his use of language: offensive, or borderline.

    TNP is or has recently seen a dozen or more yellow school buses parked in a row.

    Yeah, they definitely seem to be a fad at the moment. I was guilty of it myself in one of our ST RPG threads.

    Much as I was a fan of the first season of Twin Peaks, no, I can't say that am or have been.

    TNP had a favorite character on Twin Peaks.

    Diane! The tape-recorder lady! No, seriously...oh, hell, I might as well be honest, and say that Norma I found to be compellingly normal.

    TNP is enjoying some good tunes right now, or plans to soon.
