    No, I don't think so. The closest to a movie only twice seen is *Pee Wee's Big Top* (or whatever it's called), and my opinion changed from "this sucks" (as a child) to "this is slightly amusing" (recently). Not really a significant change, IMO. Others, I couldn't say if I've seen twice or maybe three times, so can't count them.

    TNP would consider drowning an infant (without language, make it a girl if it helps your conscience) to have 's encyclopedic memory of vast swaths of musical repertoire.

    Not even for a second.

    TNP really likes online shopping, since it saves them from going into physical stores.

    Yeah, I've come to prefer it. Saves time, driving, exposure to the cold, etc.

    TNP will be going to a concert this week.

    No, just listen to the carnival music in my head, on repeat.

    TNP is excited to find out what the girls will be wearing when they emerge in the spring to display their wares.

    Nah, I still appreciate it, but I don't think too much about it ahead of time.

    TNP wishes that getting old had some upside, however small.

    Yeah, my grandfather used to say vehemently, "Getting old is hell!"

    TNP would rather have 10 last years of good health than relive his or her first 20 years of life.

    Of course. Good for the future is better than an unpredictable chance at having an unpredictable future. Maybe someone doing life without parole would answer differently, or someone who owned a "pet" chimpanzee as a teenager and was mauled beyond repair, only an extremely abnormal case could answer different to me.

    TNP thinks it likely that the derelict pervert apostate "Mike" Pence will run for POTUS and win in a few years.

    I'm no fan, and wouldn't refer him to that way, but yes, I think he is likely to run, if not win, when President Trump says he's already MAGA and does not run in a (quite possibly doomed) 2020 reelection campaign.

    TNP knows someone with a MAGA hat.

    Not that I know of, though I can't say for sure about anything.

    TNP owns sports clothes for teams they don't actually support

    TNP couldn't care less about the Super Bowl this year.

    No, I'm always excited to hear second-hand about a new set of team-building exercises organized by some managerial types.

    TNP would probably dig up a freshly-planted grave if there was treasure in there.

    Nope.

    Nah, can't remember the last time I did that, maybe 40 years, I dunno.

    TNP has tried reducing their calorie intake from drinks.

    No. I almost always drink ice water anyway; I don't have sweetened drinks often enough to make much of a difference.

    TNP is reading a great book these days.

    Actually, yeah. Well, no, not "has tried," more like decided "WTF? No more of that, fatass." Over the past month I've been liberally adding cocoa hot drink powder to carafes of tea and coffee, and that stuff is shockingly high in nutrients. So, my weekly 96-hour fast for the past six weeks has probably included three or five hundred calories a day in "tasty hot chocolate" inadvertently on supposedly zero-calorie days.

    TNP will specify what drinks excluding alcohol, and coffee+milk beverages, are alluring despite their energy/calorie/macronutrient content.


    Oh, well, yeah, actually. I went back to Proust and decided to start in on the 2nd vol, the *IIn the shadows of the young girls wearing flowers*. I find it nice to take the time to savor the language, and rediscover the odd characters of one of the few great novels. I guess this will be my third time, but I forgot pretty much everything good about it, so it's sort of new to me, in a familiar way.

    TNP loves the music of opera, say, Mozart's, but kind of also hates actually listening to the vocal performances.

    Pretty much. I usually prefer the overtures and instrumental parts to the vocal parts.

    Oh. Yeah. You ever ... never mind. Let me just introduce the terms (i) laundering freshly-laundered things (which I hate to do laundry, it takes me all day and I just did this) (ii) clogged terlet (iii) redo shitwater laundry (iv) aerosolized can of lysol whatever ran out (v) going to have to change to shit clothes and do a full-bleach but on the good side (vi) whatever the fuck I ate finally worked its way through the pipes.

    I call it not so much strange, but unpleasant 36 hours.

    TNP can think of a badder tune than by Mr. James Brown, and will name it.

    That's pretty bad, no question, but I give you Ike Turner and "Baby's Got It":

    TNP has another badass song to submit here.

    Well, OK. Not really songs, but I'm liking "5 Little Preludes" by Bach, BWV 939-943. They're very short, and are as good as most of the WTC preludes.

    TNP thinks one main disadvantage of traveling by private car is that, if someone gets in your way or the like, you can't tell them to "Watch it, bud!" "Or move it, lady," like one does when walking.

    Nope, never have, although a friend of mine used to be an Uber driver.

    TNP would have no hesitation getting into an AI driverless car for a trip to the nearest big city.

    False. Maybe ten in my lifetime.

    TNP has owned more than five cars so far (not all at the same time).

    Mostly (i) and (ii), but just a little (iii).

    No. I didn't leave the house today. And even if I had, I rarely do a lot of gladhanding.

    TNP has some pedagogical experiments he or she thinks would be rewarding and ethical to perform IRL (for example on subjects like languages acquisition, musical training, mathematics).

    I just woke up. So no. Unless I had some weird sleepwalking episode I'm unaware of.

    Yeah, I might don the old faux-fur trapper hat with eyeflap and earflaps for sleeping. I suspect it might be infested with bedbug instars or eggs, but that excites me.

    TNP thinks he or she should start eating more potatoes soon.

    No. Sometimes I go weeks without having a potato (although my wife would probably eat one every day if she could; she loves 'em!).

    Oh, definitely. Most classic dish at the 21 Club is chicken hash.

    I will be watching none of it, and deliberately avoiding any newspaper entries that address the winter sports in general.

    TNP is extremely pleased that Ash Wednesday falls on the Saint Valentine's feast day this year, but not because he or she knows or cares anything about St. Valentine.

    No, but I travel by it several times a week, at least.

    TNP can name one good, gainful reason to ever go to a HS (or equivalent, like reform school, or apprenticeship) reunion.
