In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.

I like "Harder to Breathe". The rest of their catalog (that I've heard) leaves me cold.
TNP is enjoying the weather where they're at now.

-Jim Rockford

TNP likes nothing better than to have a cat jump up on his or her lap.

TNP has eaten in bed within the last week.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

True, although some people attribute it to Clarence Darrow.

TNP called their mom yesterday (as opposed to seeing her in person or she being deceased or incognito).

It's one of the finest comedy scenes going.
TNP prefers music from 10+ years ago to todays music
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.

Nope. I used to kick my sister, though.
TNP has eaten tofu in the last week.

TNP would like to improve their eating habits.
I would, I would.
TNP has flown in a helicopter.
"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
Correct. When I was a little kid we took the airport helicopter from LaGuardia, I guess it was, into Manhattan. My parents have a picture of me stooping as I walked away from the helicopter so as not to get my head chopped off by the rotors - but I was small enough then, I could've stood on tiptoes and still been completely safe! More recently, in 1987, I took a helicopter tour of Hawaii which was a lot of fun. I've also since been on two police helicopter ride-alongs - very cool indeed.
TNP remembers the trivia game from Friends:
False, but then I never watched Friends that much.
TNP has been rained on in the last few days.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.

TNP has been laid off at least once in his or her career.
False, but I have been outsourced.
TNP knows how to ski.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.

TNP has served in the military.
False, although I seriously considered enlisting after high school, and have always been interested in military history.
TNP thinks the IMF guy will probably abscond to France now that he's been granted $1 million bail.
False. But if he did a runner and France refused to send him back it would be a major politicial shitstorm.
TNP is able to make a decent lasagne.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
False, but my wife's is yummy indeed.

God, no, my wife and kid would be sneezing their heads off, and I'd have a cat in the house.
TNP has had a sunburn recently.
Yes, just today, I got a bit too much sun while outdoors with the Cub Scouts.
TNP has done laundry in the past three days.
Nope ... our oppressed Indonesian maids do the ordinary laundry. I do the special-care stuff (linen pants, lingerie, etc.) myself once every 2-3 weeks, and last did it about a week ago.
TNP has read all three books in The Hunger Games series.
False, but my niece really likes them.
TNP is eagerly awaiting the release of A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin.
False, I've never read any of the books, and a couple episodes of the TV show was enough to kill my interest in them
TNP knows what blood type they are.
Correct. Type O. I used to give blood every two months, like clockwork, until the Red Cross changed their rules. Now, since, I've spent more than a cumulative six months in the UK, I can't give anymore (might have Mad Cow Disease, dontchaknow).
TNP regularly gives blood.
False, it's been a long time since I last donated.
TNP never misses their favourite TV programme
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
False, we have no idea when/whether any show we like is even broadcast in Indonesia; we do everything by Apple TV download or buying DVDs.
TNP is quite nearsighted.
