True, but neither in over a decade.
TNP has been meaning to go to the doctor/dentist for that thing that's been bugging them.
Indeed I have. Damn slow about it.
TNP eats a lot of restaurant meals.
False. I hardly do it at all these days, as there aren't any good or interesting options around here. I do tend to eat out a lot when I'm on vacation or visiting someone in a more restaurant friendly area.
TNP is lactose intolerant.
False! I can also vouch for Zuul's answer above. We didn't exactly eat mac&cheese when she was down here.
TNP has drank a trenta sized drink from Starbuck's.
False; I haven't had any drink from Starbucks in a while. I don't hate Starbucks or have anything against them on principle - it's just that their foothold in Utah is weak due to the anti-coffee Mormon culture and the local dominance of Beans n' Brews. I would have to pass three or four locally owned coffee shops before I reached the nearest *$.
TNP likes runny, stinky cheese.
No. Not so much. Do like really, really aged cheddar.
TNP enjoys classic sitcoms.
False. I think sitcoms, in general, age more quickly and more poorly than any other form of entertainment. I tried to watch some Seinfeld the other day and was shocked that I had ever thought it was hilarious, and that's only 10-15 year old TV. Once you get back into Silver Spoons or Three's Company territory, I'm pinching my nose.
TNP has eaten something under the 3-second rule in the past week.
False. I don't use the rule, although I explained it to a Korean, who thought it was hilarious.

D'you know the smell of hot dog food? That's what haggis tastes like. YMMV.

True! I hadn't realized it was still rattling around in my head until I just tried to remember, but it's there.
TNP has thrown a boomerang.
True, but it was one of those cheesy three-pointed Nerf things, not a fair dinkum 'roo killer or anything. :D

TNP would buy an iPad if they were $100.
Not unless the firmware upgrade rumors I'm hearing about my Nook Color fell through.

False. I crashed one, and almost rolled another, but never actually totalled a car.

False. But I had a bowl of warm tapioca pudding about a half hour ago.

True, although mostly because it's hard to find a fight on during a time when I'm watching TV.
TNP will be more cheerful when MLB spring training starts.
False, I haven't paid close attention to MLB in over a decade. The baseball world collectively falling all over itself to congratulate an obviously roided-out Mark n' Sammy was pretty much the end for me, and they were at least likeable guys. Barry Bonds drove that coffin a full six feet deeper into the ground.

Outlook not good so far. :)
TNP can hula hoop competently.
False, I am an awful hula hooper despite months of attempting to increase my skills as a child.

I've killed a few out of the air with Lysol fireballs, but in terms of the future-serial-killer shit like plucking their wings off, no.

True. My kid finds it hard to believe that such days existed.
