TNP backs up their computer regularly, and routinely.

TNP backs up their computer regularly, and routinely.
False though I should and BTW I am about to burn a copy of a CD from the Conference I was at.
TNP Eats a good breakfast most mornings.
False, black coffee and a blood pressure bill, most weekdays.
TNP still owns a VCR
True, it's functional AFAIK but not plugged in. It's around just in case.
TNP has been in a building over 50 stories tall.

True, at least 3 and I think 4. Including the WTC.
TNP has been to more than 10 zoos.
Baltimore, Washington D.C., San Diego, Salt Lake City...nope.
TNP has a Biblical name, either as first or middle name.

True enough.
TNP is a shade-tree mechanic.
I had been, but with the integration of computer controls for cars, I no longer feel competent to do more than the most minor of repairs. (Though I did fix one early computer-run car by doing a bit of junkyard diving for computer modules.)
TNP misses the ubiquity of junk yards you could wander through.
No - but now that you mention it, that was kind of cool.
TNP joined Domebo/Mellophant in March, 2009.
Don't let my small post count fool you. I've been here since the beginning.
TNP has forgotten the birthday of someone they're close to recently.
True. My best man's birthday slipped up on me and I mailed him a card on the day of his birthday, rather than a few days ahead of time, so he got it late. Oh, well - I emailed him on the day itself, so that should count for something.
TNP is a little surprised that this zombie thread has risen from the graveyard.
Nah, this is the thread that never dies. It will exist as long as we hang in here.
TNP has dated a cheerleader.
I didn't really date in high school, so that's right out. Whether every girl I dated after that was not a former cheerleader is something I cannot say with 100% certainty. But I don't think so. The type of girl I gravitate towards is not the cheerleading type.
TNP has ridden a tandem bicycle.

Yes! We owned one when I was a kid - I thought it was just the greatest thing.
The next poster has never had a cheesesteak sub.
False (But only a few times)
TNP has milked a cow or goat.
False. I did once get severely butted by a billy goat, though, when I was attempting to stop it from eating my father's beloved violets. I had horrible bruises on my thighs for a week afterward.
If offered a slot on a mission to colonize Mars, with no possibility of return to Earth, TNP would go.

True
TNP had to pay a balance instead of getting a refund on their taxes this year.
Welcome to Mellophant.
We started with nothing and we still have most of it left.
False, I got a refund, but it was a small one. They keep getting smaller every year as my child care expenses (which are deductible) go down. I really should change my exemptions on my W-4.
TNP considers him- or herself a good dancer.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

False - in my head I'm a fantastic dancer, but once I stand up...
TNP has bought a dvd recently.

TNP has bought a dvd recently.
To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
True. I bought Iron Man a few weeks ago because I realized artifex had not seen it. Before that, it had been a long while. I'm much more of a Netflix/On-Demand type of guy.
TNP owns more than one working wristwatch.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Don't think so. I haven't worn a wristwatch since the strap broke on my last one, use my cellphone to keep time.
TNP has smoked a cigarette in the last week.
False; I don't think I've even smoked one in the last year, and what I've smoked in my life wouldn't add up to three packs. I'm more of a guy who steals one of your cigarettes when we're both drunk and you're smoking.
TNP is American and filed his or her income taxes on or after 4/8/10.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

False! I filed an extension - they're still not done, yet.
TNP hates Lego.
Who hates LEGO? That's un-American, I tell you! (un-Danish, too!) I admit to maybe momentarily resenting them when I step on one in my bare feet, but that isn't hate.
TNP has been in a vehicle rollover.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

Surprisingly not. I've been in lots of accidents, but the tires have all stayed on the road so far.
TNP has owned an authentic pair of Rayban Wayfarers at some point in their life.
Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.
True - I have a pair now, brown tortoiseshell, that I wore just yesterday. Love 'em.
TNP will be mowing his or her lawn within the next week.
False, condo corp looks after that.
TNP has had sex in a public place.
Sorta? My ex and I once got interrupted by the pizza guy when we'd left a couple of doors open.
TNP has at least three TV series collected on DVD.
So true. We've moved to Apple TV as much as possible now, but on DVD we have MASH, DS9, TNG, TOS, Enterprise, Big Bang, Simpsons, South Park, and Monk.
The next poster thought, upon his/her initial readings, that "Marsilia" was actually "Marsilla."
False; I've never really had a problem with Marsilia's name. (Yours, on the other hand, Hattie...)
TNP owns a working bicycle.

A bunch of them, including a 1983 Hutch Trickstar, a 1982 Mongoose Supergoose, and a 1986 Haro Master. All complete, all in various forms of completed to my satisfaction restorations. I still need to track down a few parts for the Haro to make it what it used to be, including a pair of Redline 3 piece cranks and a pair of Odyssey Footprint tires and a working ACS Rotor or Odyssey Gyro for the handlebars. I also have the frame and forks for a PK Ripper and a 1985 Skyway Street Beat.
Oh. I collect vintage 1980's BMX bikes and skateboards. That helps.
TNP pooped at work today.

In the interest of getting this thread going again, I will choke down my dignity and say....yes.
TNP would totally buy a machine gun is there was a simple legal way of getting one.
Yes, like most nights.
TNP has never been inside a Hooters.
False, though it's been at least two or three years.
TNP is wearing a Band-Aid* right now.
* don't be persnickety; I mean any brand.

I am a creature of cravings and desires. Right now a BJ and a pint of Guinness would be nice.
TNP knows all the words to at least one rap song.
Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.
True. Dozens if not hundreds, in fact. At one point there were probably five or six rap albums that I could recite in their entirety.
TNP is wearing cologne or perfume today.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

Cologne yes. Creed's Green Irish Tweed to be exact. I love colognes and always have something good on hand, and will vary them based on the season or the time of day.
TNP regularly eats dessert.

No, never eat dessert.
The next poster is particular about toilet paper.
"I won't kill for money, and I won't marry for it. Other than that, I'm open to just about anything."
-Jim Rockford
True. I spent almost six years in the military, and I have sworn that never again will I use TP "manufactured by 3M," which may also serve as emory paper. I will note - this does leave for a large range of TP that I am perfectly satisfied with, but there are (generally institutional) TP formulations that I view as completely unacceptable.
The next poster has made a pet of something with other than four legs.
True; I've owned a bird before.
TNP knows how to say "I love you" in more than three languages.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

Just 2. I can order beer in four...
The next poster thinks Dubble Bubble is pretty gosh darn great stuff.
"I won't kill for money, and I won't marry for it. Other than that, I'm open to just about anything."
-Jim Rockford
False. I am simply too stupid to chew gum. If given gum, I will mindlessly masticate it for hours, achieving a dreamy, meditative state, until I finally bite the inside of my mouth and the pain jerks me out of my gum-induced reverie.
So it's better if I just stay away from the stuff.
TNP can skip wearing anti-perspirant with no ill effects if the weather is cool enough.
Oh my no. I use serious antipersperant, and I can funk through that if I get some serious like firewood splitting work going on. Forgetting to stick my pits becomes obvious around 10:00am even just sitting at my desk.
TNP has candy in the house right now.
Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.
