[Tripler]

True. I like long walks on the beach at sunset. Helps me look fer treasure 'n' booty!

TNP is colorblind.

Tripler
Even better, treasure in TECHNICOLOR.

[ivan astikov]

False - no prob's with colours; it's distances I'm crap with.

TNP has never had sex in a public place.

[OneCentStamp]

TNP has never had sex in a public place.

False.




TNP owns a set of print encyclopedias.

[Harlequin]

False, sadly. It would look cool in my new bookcase.

The next poster considers him- or herself ugly.

[OneCentStamp]

The next poster considers him- or herself ugly.

False. I think I look pretty good on a good day. :smile:





TNP has pulled a fire alarm before when there was no fire.

[Rube E. Tewesday]

No, but sometimes my imp of the perverse whispers to me....

TNP woke up with a headache.

[Harlequin]

Nope, I woke up feeling healthy, slim, gorgeous and strong. Yes, it's been a good day so far.

The next poster dreads a day coming within a week.

[OneCentStamp]

The next poster dreads a day coming within a week.

Not dread, but I have a certain low-grade anxiety about this weekend, when my fiancee and her son will be coming to dinner with a large group of extended family, some of whom are meeting for the first time, others for the second time. My anxiety is entirely reflected anxiety; she's really worried about them liking her and her son.




TNP has a fingernail or toenail that is currently smashed, torn, ingrown or otherwise causing distress.

[jali]

No. They're just undone.

TNP has no plans for the weekend.

[Sleeps w/Butterflies]

False. Each day I have something planned.

TNP uses a trackball instead of a mouse for their computer.

[Rube E. Tewesday]

Nah, I uses duh mouse.

TNP reads paperback mysteries.

[featherlou]

False! I read paperback sci-fi almost exclusively!

The next poster thinks I use exclamation points far too much!

[Rube E. Tewesday]

Damn straight, woman!!!

TNP never learned how to ride a bike.

[OneCentStamp]

TNP never learned how to ride a bike.

False, I always had bikes as a kid, and if the traditional wisdom is to be believed, I suppose I still can.




TNP eats ketchup on their hot dogs, and SDMB and Chicago snobbery be damned.

[featherlou]

True. I put ketchup, mustard, AND relish on hot dogs.

The next poster has wondered a little at a sneeze or cough in the last couple of days.

[Harlequin]

No, but I did wonder about the sudden, inexplicable throat pain and tightening of the throat that disappeared as suddenly as it came.

The next poster does not regularly read a physical newspaper.

[ivan astikov]

False - I'll read at least one a day, and take everything I read with a pinch of cynicism.

TNP believes politicians are on the whole, altruistic at heart.

[Cluricaun]

False as hell. Most of them are type A personalities at best and sociopaths at worst. Anyone who wants to be a pol shouldn't be allowed the job in the first place.

TNP is wearing boxers.

[Jeff]

Damn straight. No tighty whiteys for me.

TNP gets to wear a t-shirt and jeans to work.

[What Exit?]

TNP gets to wear a t-shirt and jeans to work.

Half right, I get to wear a jeans and walking-shoes (sneakers) but not a T-shirt.

TNP has had a crew cut.

[Harlequin]

Yep. I've also shaved my head bald, worn my hair really long, and dyed it in a variety of colours, only a portion of which are found in nature. Only ever one colour at a time, though. I guess I'm just a conventional type.

The next poster would like reality TV more if the participants weren't all unpleasant idiots.

[hocow]

False. Nothing could get me to like reality TV.

TNP is pregnant.

[Sleeps w/Butterflies]

Never, ever.

TNP likes beets.

[Jeff]

I can't remember ever trying beets, but I'm sure my response would be blagh if someone offered them to me.

TNP should really be working instead of reading this.

[Rube E. Tewesday]

Nah, I'm home, (finally), got the kid in bed and the recycling out, I can do what I want.

TNP has never had anal sex.

[sublight]

TNP has never had anal sex.

True. Never interested me.

TNP went overseas in April.

[Harlequin]

No. Haven't been abroad since November.

The next poster has trouble sleeping.

[ivan astikov]

False - it's getting into that state that can be troublesome. I'm great once I'm kipping!

TNP likes big butts and they cannot lie.

[Rube E. Tewesday]

Yeah, I do. But then again, I like small and medium, also. Mmmm....

That one's been done before, so it's time again for:

TNP isn't wearing underwear.

[jali]

I am so! I'm not a commando type of chick.

TNP has considered doing a reality show. Possibly Survivor.

[Rube E. Tewesday]

Hmm, "considered" in the sense of "How would I do", sure. "Considered" in the sense of "seriously thought of sending in audition tape", no way in hell.

TNP is still in touch with someone from high school.

[OneCentStamp]

TNP is still in touch with someone from high school.

I am now, thanks to the Facebook way-back machine. Before that, it had been a solid decade that I had had zero contact with people from high school.




TNP is compulsively punctual, hates to be late, hates when other people are habitually late.

[criminey.jicket]

True, I hate to be late and am never late if I can help it. I'm just a bit annoyed by someone being late once or twice; however, I think people who are habitually late are self-absorbed and oblivious to the fact that it's disrespectful of others.

The next poster loves lightning and thunderstorms.

[Harlequin]

As long as I'm inside, dry, warm and safe.

The next poster regularly participates in a team sport.

[Vox Imperatoris]

False. I'm on the tennis team, but that's not really a team sport.

TNP procrastinates frequently.

[Harlequin]

Right now, as a matter of fact. I'll get going as soon as I finish this post.

The next poster can make rather complex calculations, that many would need a calculator to complete correctly, in his head.

[The Logos]

True. While I was still taking flight lessons, I would mentally calculate crosswind components. Got to the point where I could take the square root of three-digit numbers to three decimal places. Later on, when studying classical electrodynamics, I discovered I could take multiple integrals of a vector field in a curvilinear coordinate system.

TNP is a frequent masturbator. (Sorry if this one has been done before. Actually, I'm not sorry.)

[Vox Imperatoris]

The next poster can make rather complex calculations, that many would need a calculator to complete correctly, in his head.

I've never been able to this, at all, even though I'm at the top of my Math class. As in, I have trouble adding and subtracting two-digit numbers and halving two-digit numbers whose tens places aren't even. I either need a calculator or a pencil, paper, and a lot of time.

[Rube E. Tewesday]

TNP is a frequent masturbator. (Sorry if this one has been done before. Actually, I'm not sorry.)

Hmm... define "frequent"... actually, probably "no".

TNP can play the guitar.

[Rabid Renaissance]

Why yes I can, though I'm way out of practice and have absolutely zero concept of music theory.

TNP has read the Anne Rice BDSM erotica Sleeping Beauty trilogy.

[Harlequin]

No. I started reading Interview with the Vampire, dropped it about one-third of the way through, and never picked up another book of hers.

The next poster is currently on a diet - for weightloss, for medical purposes, as preparation for a sporting event, or for whatever other reason.

[Rube E. Tewesday]

I'm not on a diet, but I''m trying to eat more sensibly, and seem to be fitting into my pants better in consequence.

TNP wouldn't waste time Twittering if Demi Moore bent over in front of him/her.

[Harlequin]

True. Since I've never Twittered, I doubt I'd start just because Demi Moore bent over in front of me.

The next poster has looked at Facebook and MySpace many times and still wonders what the point is.

[The Logos]

Eh, true, to an extent. I'm on Facebook, joined only recently to keep in contact better with a particular individual, but infrequently visit the site. I've since had a couple offline friends "friend" me online, but still have no intention of using it regularly. I objectively get the point of such sites, but have never been one to do much online social networking. So it's a personal "What's the point?"

TNP owns a copy of Hawking's A Brief History of Time, but has never read it.

[Rube E. Tewesday]

Well, I think I did what most people did .... start it, then give up in hopeless acknowledgement of my stupidity.

TNP has more than one university degree.

[Sleeps w/Butterflies]

True. One from The Ohio State University and one from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

TNP has donated blood in the last month.

[Butterscotch]

False! Having lived in the UK durng the 1980's I am not allowed to give blood here in Italy because I may have mad cow disease floating about in me. Not that you'd be able to tell...


TNP is a neat freak.

[Hatshepsut]

No, I wish I were. I'm sort of a neat-freak manque.

TNP has above-average math skills.

[OneCentStamp]

True, to an extent. I'm speedy and accurate on basic arithmetic and low-level algebra. Once you get beyone there, I'm hopeless.




TNP owns a pair of working handcuffs.

[jali]

No, but my birthday is in November.

TNP hit "snooze" a couple of times this morning.
