A little bit, not too much at my age.
TNP owns more than one tablet computer.
(Oh, and Don Cherry the hockey guy took the same plane I did, once. Very nice to a kid in the waiting lounge who wanted an autograph.)

Crazy hockey man. (I grew up within the broadcast range of the CBC.)
False, I've NEVER had a professional massage.
TNP has dyed their hair red.
True. Once. And I had to bleach the everloving shite out of it to even get it to a color where the red would take. Ah, my silly early 20s.

TNP likes Yello (Swiss band).
I only know the "Oh Yeah" song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and from that limited sample size, I would have to reply in the negative.

"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
No, I really don't. Ick.
TNP likes Zzebra (British group).
False, I have never heard of them.

True, but I'm awful at it, and it gets frustrating to get perpetually beaten by people who don't even really play an instrument.

True, although I suspect she does not like me at the moment ...
TNP has straight hair.
True - what's left of it

TNP has has an eye exam in the past two years.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Correct. Every year, pretty much like clockwork. I value my sight too much to take it for granted. I also have a cute eye doctor - she always makes me chuckle as she zooms in to check the dilation of my pupils with her little flashlight.
TNP likes calzones.
True. We don't call them calzones here, so I had to look it up...
TNP likes roast pork sammiches with gravy and crackling.

I'm not sure, it doesn't really sound like my sort of thing.
TNP has eaten caviar.
True! I rather liked it. Luckily, I am not in a position to get further into what would probably be a very expensive realm of enthusiasm.
TNP watched the series finale of House.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
Nope. Don't think I ever watched a complete episode.

Well, I'm alive and a human, so yes.

Yes, although I haven't ridden it this year yet. Still hanging upside-down in our garage.

I don't hate it, but I can't remember the last time I ate any that wasn't obliterated into baba ghanoush. I'll say true, though.

True. I like it fine, but I don't understand the memeish obsession with it.
TNP has bought a used book recently.
True, just earlier this week, from AbeBooks.com, a nice British used-book clearinghouse. Some Sherlock Holmes books and nonfiction about nuclear war planning in the UK.

"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
True. One time, years back, I sampled a bit of fresh tomato with salt in a farmers' market, and stirred up this incredible memory of picking tomatoes with my old man, sprinkling salt on them, and eating them out of our hands. He died when I was 11, and I don't really have a ton of memories of him.

False. I remember my dad playing it on Indian Princess campouts, but he never taught me. He did teach me cribbage and euchre, so I do know a couple of crotchety-old-man games.
TNP knows what Indian Princesses was.
Nope. Had to Google it and am now vaguely creeped out. (Not saying your personal experience was necessarily creepy.)
TNP has set foot in a Home Depot or Lowe's within the last 15 days.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

Hmm. Just about. I was in Home Depot not long ago to get recyclable grass bags, so I'll say "Yes."
TNP likes Ho Hos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoho
False. My only exposure to rhubarb was a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie at the Capitol building cafeteria 30 years ago (my dad's work took him there on occasion), and even thinking about it now makes my fillings start to hurt.

Probably not regularly. A fedora on special occasions, and often a baseball cap when I go out with my kid, though.
TNP has a bunch of hotel pens lying around.
