Sure, I guess.
TNP is kind of disturbed by how young EW looks with that goth eye makeup....TNP kind of prefers women his own age, but is both ashamed and emboldened but more ashamed because that's just plain too young for me.
Dude she went to Providence? ugh no respect from me.
When she starts dressing like and looking like an adult, she can call me.
TNP is totes over Emma Watson -- and is looking for some woman with adult thoughts and probably wasn't robbed out of some daycare, almost makes me mouth-barf thinking about ploughing some child like that.
Also, hey whatever, she's of age, so I'm not judging, just saying not for me, so, whatever. But still she seems like a gross person. Like a university administrator or someone like that. Eh, and that eye makeup is pretty gnarly IMO.
I see that "totes over" means "totally over," so I guess that's true. But she is an attractive young woman.
TNP already knew what "totes over" meant.
No, but I had some idea.
TNP seems to really like to drink beer or whatever and run off at the mouth for no apparent reason.
Drink a bit now and then, true. Run off at the mouth, not so much.
TNP has more than three credit cards.
Oh snap u no how to hurt a guy feelings.
TNP has had more private store cards than can count (Discover counts -- do they still exist? Probably, I guess) BUT kind of might have defaulted on a bunch AND \
also, in the words of Samuel L. Jackson,Jr., those are old crimes and they don't have enough people to process for the new crimes,so screw they honkies, whatever, who cares.
And your statement for TNP to respond to...?

I already said that, donkey boy! TNP has had a bunch of store cards, like Sears, Discover, and all that stuff.
ETA there are a bunch of weird ones. Raise yer hand if you had a "Musician's Friend" CC. Can't remember if I made good on it, but that kind of thing.
TNP also has a credit score in the low double digits, and does not give a shit. That's a fake TNP, because no one other than ChetBakerFan799 would possible admit to that. But the earlier is a real TNP so answer it up, yo!

Ah, I see. False as to both private store cards and credit score.
TNP has shopped online in the past 48 hours.
No, last week I bought two books though Stephen Prata's *C++ Primer Plus* and *C Primer Plus* and am thinking if I run short of cash of selling the C Primer for pennies on the dollar to this piece of shit bookstore near where I live. Both were IMHO unreasonably expensive for mass-market paperbacks, but the C++ book is actually pretty damned good. I think the C book is probably just as good, or better, but I really don't have much a need for it, and I have too many books as it is, even after my extensive process of winnowing for a great loss including virtually untouched boxed volumes of the Brahms solo piano (I reasoned I have a Dover that has the stuff I need plus pencilled annotations from my younger years) the Beethoven solo piano (I reasoned I can only play one thing at a time and I'm not going to be playing the Op. 111/2 in full anytime, but it sure would be nice to be able to just go to my shelf and play through some stuff or just read whatever, rather than finding a digital copy, printing it), and the first to go were the Mozart piano sonatas and the Haydn piano sonatas....kind of regret those most of all because it can be fun to just screw around reading them at the keyboard.
TNP really has a great dislike, even hatred, for kids -- the 20-somethings who are (a) idiots (they all are, trust me) (b) "look at meee!" assholes (c) and not self-reliant, in any sense except perhaps the most basic economic sense.
False. I've met some kids like that, but most of the people that age with whom I've had any dealings are smart, funny and seem to want to make the world a better place. They do seem more cynical than I remember us being back then, though (I'm 49).
TNP has a favorite memory from his or her twenties, and will now share it.
OK fine, I guess. My twenties had Louis Armstrong's Hot 5s and 7s and EL Doctorow wrote a book about some of it. I also remember flappers were all the rage. Get your mind out of the gutter! I mean the dancers and the stylish young women.
TNP has some good stories from when they were in their twenties and can recount one. (it's too good a question to just have only me try and fail to remember one answer), so reboot! Reboot like it's your last day on earth! Tell it!
I fell in love with the young woman who would become my wife when I was a little over 20. We married five years later, and have been so ever since. I'm a lucky guy.
TNP has been married, or is now.
Yep, have been for almost fourteen years, to a woman I've been with for twenty-two.
And, OK, TNP has a great story about their twenties.
True, but their awesomeness is directly related to the amount of alcohol imbibed beforehand.
TNP used to do so much more physical exercise when they were younger.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Nah, not really. If anything, now that I play ball with my kid, I'm doing more.
TNP, despite everything, can still be amazed at the crap that jerks can get away with.
Agreed. Just last night we were at our son's junior high band concert. All the kids had been repeatedly told to wear black pants and white shirts. I was surprised by how many were not, and were still permitted to take part.
TNP has been to a band concert in the past 30 days.
Haven't been to any concert of any kind in quite a while. Well, some hired rockers at this university doing an outdoor job during lunchtime. Earplugs in. All the way in.
TNP had the same thought I did over Easter when watching my nephews (5 and ... 1? 2?) It must be emotionally trying to remember kids at their cutest (granted I only see them when they're being good!), thinking all the while "Holy shit, next thing I know, some deep voice dude is going to be like 'Hello, sir!'"
Well, didn't have the thought over Easter that I can recall, but I've sure had it.
TNP could eat a burger right now.
Always!Originally posted by Rube E. Tewesday
TNP is dissatisfied with his or her current WiFi connection speeds.
Always. I won't be satisfied until I get the same speed God could negotiate.
TNP is tired of livin' and fear'd of dyin'.
False on both counts. I enjoy life the great majority of the time, but if I had to die - to save someone's life, or for some worthy cause - I really don't think I'd hesitate too much, although I would be sorry to leave behind my wife and sons.
TNP has had his or her life threatened by another person.
False, threatened with minor injury a couple of times but never for my life.
TNP has been in situations where their life could have been threatened by events around them.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Uh, yeah. Like every time u turn around. A Always B Be C Catching. Fuckers always trying to run something on you, so just be street smart.
TNP is on occasion wishes her or she made some more high-rent choices in life but in the next second thinks "Fuck it!" then I wouldn't be able to communicate with these immigrants at the corner.
Also false. In my work I deal with people of all social strata, rich and poor, ugly and beautiful, all colors, creeds and backgrounds. I try to treat them all with courtesy and fairness.
TNP knows at least one person who is filthy rich.
Hmmm...no, I think. I know lots of people who are doing OK, and I know a guy whose brother is a billionaire or something, but I don't hang with the 1 per cent.
TNP can remember when "1 per cent" referred to motorcycle scum, not plutocrats.
No, I never heard the phrase used in that context.
TNP thinks the American rich should be paying much higher taxes.
Yes, but then you would have to guarantee it actually went to worthwhile causes and not back into schemes to make them more money.
TNP wishes they didn't pay so much tax.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Yeah, kinda, but it's probably selfish of me.
TNP likes pineapple on pizza.
Fucking A Hell yeah! Well, it's kind of not very good IMO, but it's like a little surprise in every slice.
TNP thinks Totino's Party Pizze are better than DiGiorno or the equivalent store-brands in that style. Unfortunately also good at giving you the trots, but still tasty. More Italian/brick-oven style than those bready monstrosities.
Never had 'em, so false.
TNP can't decide between three favorite ice cream flavors.
False, Mint choc chip all the way
TNP thinks bacon is the greatest food.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Nah, I like bacon fine, but I don't understand the current obsession.
TNP actually kind of likes doing laundry.
Actually, yeah. That's the only chore, including regular bathing, that I like. It's something to do that doesn't involve scrubbing something down by hand -- pots, pans, floors, taint, bathtub.
TNP is having a hard time staying awake today.
I did yawn a few times, and sitting down on my bed to take off my shoes I was awfully tempted to lean back and rest my eyes a bit. So kinda yes.
TNP would take a nap every day, time and boss permitting.
No, not too often I feel like a nap.
TNP would take a two hour lunch every day, time and boss permitting.
Yes, although I'd probably spend it reading. I often skip lunch.
TNP hates air travel.
God, yes. Especially since 9/11. I hate flying out of the States and subjecting myself to the tender mercies of the TSA.
TNP loves trains.
Yeah. The US Amtrak is pretty dingy these days, but that's one reason I like it. If you have the time, coast-to-coast on the train > flying any day. Hang in the observatory car, snort booze with the cretins in the smoking room, even if you don't smoke, chat with the workers at the snack bar, read, whatever.
TNP has no problem with freight train whistles. Freight train noise > freeway noise.
True, although you rarely see them except creeping through some stations late at night.
TNP has spent more than 24 hours travelling in one go.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
False, although it feels like I've come close sometimes.
TNP has been to at least three national capitals.
Hmm, yeah, Ottawa, Washington and Bridgetown.
TNP don't yet around much anymore.
Have to say false. Just visited Washington, D.C. and New York City, and will be on the Jersey coast this summer - maybe the Outer Banks of North Carolina, too.
TNP wants to visit Beijing someday.
Fuck yeah! Someday? How about right now! That's when I want to visit Peking. also mister saturday dance
TNP wants to learn Chinese but thinks the textbooks that focus on learning to read and write are ridiculous, because Jackie Chan is IIRC illiterate in Chinese, and he's cool. And besides, grammatology is dead, man.
Last edited by Jizzelbin; 09 May 2014 at 04:33 PM.
Yes. If I could click my ruby slippers together and learn Chinese instantly, I certainly would.
TNP owns not a single pair of ruby slippers.
Aw hell yes I do not.
TNP is frequently disappointed by women wearing skirts. Very feminine and pretty, even Stevie Nicks-esque, but damned it obscures the goods. Especially the skirts made of thick materials. It can be very, very disappointing.
False. A pretty girl or woman will look good just about no matter what she's wearing.
TNP is now enjoying a beautiful spring day (as I am).
Actually yes. I live in a place that is cloudy 8-9 months out of the year, and as a certified freak for fresh air and people watching, I will sit outside every single chance I can. And that is why if a computer problem can't be solved with pencil and paper, it's not worth doing or is total nerd bullshit.
TNP thinks checking women out in an obvious (should one notice), but non-threatening, neutral way is a great pasttime, but is insulted when noticing eyeballs of people doing it in a sneaky, hiding, nasty way. The last violates the social contract, and makes women afraid. Women must be encouraged! Don't even start. They love it. I know.

I guess I'll have to say false. I try not to be obvious when I check out a beautiful woman.
TNP routinely carries at least three pens.
