TNP likes a certain amount of to-do over his or her birthday.
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.)
Which Don did you mean, Orual?
False, in fact I don't own even one. artifex's Kindle Fire is the only one in the house. :fail:
TNP has had a professional massage in the past five years.
Crazy hockey man. (I grew up within the broadcast range of the CBC.)Quote:

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. :rolleyes:
TNP takes his or her coffee black.
False. Coffee without cream makes me sad.

True. It's my go-to beverage in restaurants when I'm not drinking alcohol.
TNP has purchased a pack of cigarettes.
Never ever, and I hope I never will.
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.
TNP likes Mello Yello (Coca-Cola's American knock-off of Mountain Dew).
No, I really don't. Ick.
TNP likes Zzebra (British group).
False, I have never heard of them.
TNP has played Rock Band.

TNP has played in a rock band.
False. Someday, maybe!
TNP likes apples.
Yes! Especially those sweet little red ones...
TNP likes pumpkin.
In a pie, there are few things better.
TNP likes blueberries.

TNP likes his or her direct boss.
True, although I suspect she does not like me at the moment ...
TNP has straight hair.
True - what's left of it :(
TNP has sore feet.
True, actually. I think these new Doc Martens kind of suck, and I may have to break my two-decade streak of always owning at least one pair at any given time. :(
TNP has has an eye exam in the past two years.
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. :D
TNP watched the series finale of House.
Nope. Don't think I ever watched a complete episode.

Not today, fortunately. If you are, hope you're feeling better!

TNP likes eggs. For breakfast.
Or lunch. Or dinner. Love eggs.
TNP hates oatmeal.
False. I really like oatmeal.
TNP doesn't like bacon THAT much.
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.
TNP likes falafel.
LOVE falafel. When artifex and I bought a countertop deep fryer last year, falafel was the first thing we made in it.

True. I've even had Stinking Bishop, after seeing it in that Wallace & Gromit movie!
TNP likes Goldfish crackers.
True, but I don't go out of my way to purchase/eat them.
TNP likes Teddy Grahams.
False. They remind me too much of trying to get toddlers to shut up in church, back when toddlers and church were actual things in my life. :D
TNP enjoys eating tomatoes all by themselves.
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.
TNP likes playing checkers.
That's a wonderful story. :( :) Anyway, regarding checkers, false. I don't hate it or anything, but I'm sure I haven't played a game in 15 years.
TNP knows how to play backgammon.
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.) :D
TNP has set foot in a Home Depot or Lowe's within the last 15 days.
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
Yeah the whole mission statement sounds pretty smurfy. On the other hand, I got to ride horses and shoot BB guns.Quote:

TNP likes rhubarb.
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.
TNP has switched to Blu-Ray.
False, DVD is still fine for me.
TNP has a completed collection for collectible stickers/cards
False. I was never really a collector type.
TNP wears a hat regularly.
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.
False, I didn't even know hotel pens were a thing. (I clearly don't spend much time in hotels.)
TNP is BBQing something this weekend.
False. Gonna be cool and cloudy all weekend. *kicks dirt*
TNP is getting out of town this weekend.
Nah. Course, it isn't a holiday weekend here.
TNP will be working this weekend.
False! :dance: Going to markets, printing out some stuff to win an argument with my supervisor... and sleeeeeeeep!
TNP gets a sore neck regularly.
False. Shoulders? Check. Hips? Check. Feet? Check. But my neck is usually fine. :)
TNP considers him- or herself an optimist.
Nah. Just this past week, my kid asked me why I'm such a pessimist.
TNP tends to think pessimism and realism are much the same thing.
False. I think there's overlap (sometime huge overlap), but I think they're different things.
TNP bought some clothing recently.
True! I think my most recent purchase was a skirt.
TNP is wearing sneakers.
False; barefoot.
TNP has a near or dear one graduating from something soon.
Yeah, my kid's school only goes to grade 6, so he's graduating.
TNP regularly watches more than one show on Food Network.
False. I used to watch eight or ten FN shows regularly, but we cancelled our cable when we moved almost a year ago, and now I'll occasionally stream an episode of something, but that's about it.
TNP has watched an entire baseball game this season, start to finish.
Yep. The kid and I are into baseball.
TNP belongs to a softball league.
Nope. Never have been. Haven't played in a few years, either.
TNP likes crunching ice cubes.
True. I know it's bad for the teeth, but eh.
TNP likes dubstep.
Don't know what it is, so no.
TNP likes jujubes.
A girl I worked with in my early twenties caught me crunching ice in the break room and told me it was a sign I was sexually repressed. I don't know if it's a general truity, but she was certainly right at that time in that instance. Come to think of it, she was probably hitting on me. Goddammit, I just realized that now.
True...ish. Jujubes are for movie theaters. :D
TNP hates diet sodas.
True. They taste like crap.
TNP likes ice cream.
True, definitely.
TNP enjoys attending weddings.
False, unless the principals really mean a lot to me. Otherwise it's usually a lot of fancy clothes wearing, sitting around churches or reception halls, and hobnobbing with strangers, all of which are unhappy things for me.
TNP has had a pet that died.
Yeah, farm dogs often don't have long lives.
TNP likes country music.
With very few exceptions, false. I like only a smattering of old country music, and modern country is some of the worst music in the world IMO.
TNP likes hip-hop.
Some of it. I have maybe a half-dozen hip-hop songs on my iPod.
TNP likes kale.
My second job (first job was Arby's) was at a Chuck E. Cheese in Gaithersburg, MD. One of my duties was to make sure the 25-item salad bar stayed tidy and stocked. I would keep the big bowl of greens and the smaller bowls of veggies, toppings and dressings topped off throughout the day. All around the edges of the salad bar, there was a border of green kale, meant as decoration. The thick border of kale had the intent of making the whole bar look "fresh" and "garden-like." I would periodically rearrange the kale when someone accidentally knocked a piece off, so that there was always an unbroken kale border.
On the first night that I closed the restaurant, the manager told me to cover all the bowls of various salad components with plastic wrap and carry them back to the walk-in refrigerator. I did so, clearing away everything except the kale, which I didn't know what to do with. When I was done, the salad bar was nothing but a 10-foot table full of crushed ice, ringed with lots of kale. When the manager came around to look over my area, I indicated the cleared table and said "I didn't know what to do with the kale."
"Oh," he said, "I forgot. Go into the walk-in, and in the right back corner there are two buckets. Get the empty one, fill it with cold water and bring it out."
I went into the back of the walk-in refrigerator as commanded, and saw two five gallon buckets, the kind that might hold paint. One of the buckets was empty. The other was full of water and what appeared to be leaves of kale. I filled the empty bucket with cold water and brought it out. The manager started throwing the kale into the bucket, and I started helping. When we were done, he told me to take the bucket back to the walk-in.
"What's the other bucket for?" I asked.
"We'll bring that one out in the morning and use it tomorrow. Then this bucket," he pointed at my bucket, "will be ready for the day after tomorrow. Good as new. Cold water makes old kale into new kale."
"How old is this kale?" I asked. Manager man puzzled it over for a moment.
"Oh...two months? Maybe a little less?" he said.
At the moment, I wasn't sure whether he was jerking my chain (I was 16), but when the two buckets of kale put in another four weeks of faithful service after that night (and more for all I know; I quit at that point), I started to believe him. And it really did look almost as good as new after all those months, if a bit slimy to the touch. Also, I eventually realized that not all of our customers realized that the kale was meant as decoration only. There were at least a half dozen times I spotted people - always old, Asian or both - picking up zombie kale and putting it on their salad plates. I seriously got bile in my mouth every time I saw it.
Ever since then, I've been unable to even think of eating kale, not because of the memory of those foul zombie leaves at the Chuck E. Cheese, but simply because I don't trust my stomach to properly digest anything that damned hardy. I mean, really.
TNP likes squash (the food, not the sport).
True. Much more delicious than the sport.
TNP has smelt a very pleasant frangrance/aroma lately.
Not really, no. Actually a couple of not so great ones.
TNP often has fantasies about winning the lottery.
Once in a blue moon, but not often.
TNP likes lemons.
Oh yes! With a bit of salt... but native bush lemons are delicious straight off the tree.
TNP drinks herbal tea/s.
I do not.
TNP is coming down with a cold.
False, I think I am getting over a little bit of one.
TNP has a sunburn.
False. I managed to avoid that this weekend! I guess cold and overcast have their small compensations.

No. I always seem to have plenty of bruises, but few visible ones.
TNP has had a broken arm.
False, I've only ever broken toes.
TNP has one or more pierced body parts.
False.
TNP has one or more tattoos.
Not a one, and I never want to, either. Just not my thing.
TNP likes martinis.
False. Never saw the allure.
TNP talks to birds.
Very, very rarely. Usually only to greet them ("Ooo, what a nice red cardinal!"), or to scare them ("Hey, you damn Canada geese! Quit crapping on my lawn!"). They usually pay no attention in either case.
TNP likes navel oranges.
As with most fruit, I like them when they're fresh and ripe, which I don't find them to be nearly often enough.
TNP talks to plants.
I do not. I grew up on a farm, and talking to the corn would have been a bad sign.
TNP talks to Jehovah's Witnesses.
True! I talked to some just recently. They knocked on my door two Sundays ago. I politely listened to their hook-you-into-conversation questions, declined the offer of a copy of the Watchtower, and sent them on their way with a smile. I'm long past the age or emotional stage where I feel I get cool points for being antagonistic towards them.
TNP talks to Mormons.
Sure, I smile and say "no thank you", and try not to think impure thoughts if they are strapping tan young fellows.
TNP has spoken to a Hare Krishna.
I was one of those strapping tan lads, half a lifetime ago...
Oh, sure. I grew up in the 'burbs of Washington, DC. You can't visit the Smithsonian, or the National Mall (grass, not shopping), or any of the other downtown attractions without being approached by some swami or other. Nice folks. I could see myself joining them except for the apparent proscriptions against bathing or working. Anyway, you buy a "SMILE" sticker for a buck and stick it on your parents' car.
TNP talks to an invisible deity or deities, whether they believe anyone hears it or not.
Yes, I pray just about every night.
TNP likes onions.
True! Raw, cooked, browned, powdered...onions are great any way I can get them. I have never once, in my adult life, said, "Wow, I wish that dish had had less onion." Trufax.
TNP likes mint.
True, as long as we can exclude mint ice cream.
TNP, even in the throes of the overactive glands of puberty, has never had a problem with dandruff.
False. My scalp used to white up like Everest.
TNP has an extremely annoying co-worker.
True! Some are even my employees!
TNP played a sport in school.
Nah. Nerd city.
TNP is more interested in sports as an adult than as a child.
False. Through school, I actively followed all the major American pro sports and watched a lot of boxing. These days, I follow college football and mixed martial arts and that's about it.
TNP knows where his or her high school yearbooks are.
Um... in general terms, true. Somewhere in a box in my basement.
TNP likes potatoes.
True. I love them. There is no kind of potato dish that I will not happily eat. I am descended from many generations of the Potato-Eating Peoples of Eastern Europe.
TNP likes asparagus.
Love love love asparagus. Preferred method: tossed with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roasted on a sheet pan until slightly soft.
TNP likes pickled foods in general.
Yup - salty and sour, what's not to like?
TNP has successfully dieted away 10 or more pounds at some point in their life, but has gained it back.
True. Hell, I chronicled in a thread on this very board my journey through losing 40 pounds...22 of which I've gained back since. :fail:
TNP had very long hair at one point, but not anymore.
Hmmmm.....I came of age in the Seventies, so my hair was for sure much longer than it is now, but never very long.
TNP has shaved their head.
No, never have, although someday it's possible. What works for Bruce Willis just might work for me (or so I sometimes fondly think).
TNP likes quince.
Can't say I've ever tried one! I shall return and report once I have. :sci:
TNP likes papaya.
False, I think they have a oogy texture.
TNP owns a movie soundtrack.
True: Team America - World Police \m/
TNP has to get up to pee in the middle of the night (I hate that!).
True sometimes, often if I was drinking alcohol before bed. More often, I have to get up to pee way early in the morning, then debate whether it's worth trying to get back to sleep for the 45 minutes before the alarm is going to go off anyway. :mad:
TNP considers him- or herself picky about alcoholic beverages.
Not really. I prefer good stuff, but I'll happily drink Bud at a ball game, or a Bud Lite if somebody I'm visiting offers me one.
TNP has sent back an expensive bottle of wine at a restaurant.
False, on so many levels.1) I've never ordered an expensive bottle of wine at a restaurant - nothing over about $45, anyway, which you know is half that at the wine store around the corner. 2) Sending things back at a restaurant runs so counter to my natural social awkwardness that it would have to be the wrong wine, or flat-out turned to vinegar, before I could muster up the gall. :D
TNP is good at mixing drinks.
Nope. No skill at that at all.
TNP likes rutabagas.
Like 'em OK. Never say "You know what would be good right now? Rutabagas would be good right now."
TNP has been kind of forgetful lately.
If by "lately", you mean "since forever and until the end of time", yes.
TNP reads the introductions/forewards of books.
Always, without exception.
TNP likes shawarma.
Oh my goodness, yes. I wish there a good place, or even a good truck, around here for some shawarma.
TNP likes gumbo.
Yeah, pretty much, although I prefer etouffee (never had better than at Antoine's in the French Quarter).
TNP likes tangerines.
False - I'm not keen on citrus in general (although I love to cook with lemon or lime juice, but that is much different than eating an orange/tangerine/grapefruit out of hand).
The next poster thinks HRT (for herself, or if male for a loved one) is most likely a stupid idea.
No, if the bad guys have taken me hostage, I'd be quite delighted to have them break down the door: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostage_Rescue_Team
TNP likes ugni.
I have no idea, I've never tried it. (This?)

In very small doses, yes.

False. I'm not much of a cook at all.
TNP likes xigua.
True, if I'm allowed to Google it first and learn that it's basically watermelon.
TNP doesn't know anything at all about kava.
False, if we're talking about the mildly psychoactive herbal drink enjoyed by many Polynesians. True otherwise. :D

Never. Hope I never need one, either.
TNP likes yellow plums.
False, I've never had one.
TNP likes sake.
Like it fine, although it's been a while since I had any.
TNP likes riding trains.
I'd say I feel neutrally about them. I've spent a good portion of the last five years commuting by train, and while that's faster/quieter/smoother/better than commuting by bus, it's still not exactly the Hogwarts Express.
TNP has voted by absentee ballot before.
Yes, several times in my college years. That was quite awhile ago, though. I actually prefer to vote in person, and take part in that shared civic ritual, than to vote by mail.
TNP likes ziziphus.
Hell no. In fact, if there's anything that gets me pissed off in a hurry, it's ziziphus. Hate the damn things. They're always showing up where they don't belong, in my flower bed or stuck between my teeth or stealthily taking root at the foot of my bed so they can reach out and AGGGHHHHH---
Just kidding. I have no opinion on ziziphus.
TNP has never tried eating lo-carb.
Not for any length of time, no.
TNP likes The Abyss.
True, it's a pretty good movie for its time.
TNP has a favorite dinosaur.
Yes, I've always liked Triceratops: spunky, well-built, content to be left alone but ready to face off with T. Rex if it has to. Or at least that's how I imagine its personality. For more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triceratops
TNP likes Bob Roberts.
True in the future, I think. I'm sure I would like Bob Roberts, if I'd seen it. Anything involving Tim Robbins is bound to be good.
TNP has experienced a significant mishap involving a dinner party.
Hmm, nothing that you'd call significant that I can remember.
TNP has been at a party where two people hooked up who REALLY shouldn't have hooked up.
I was involved in student theatre in college. Draw your own conclusions.
TNP can recite speeches from Shakespeare when the mood strikes them.
A line or two from here and there, but not speeches, as such. (I'm a big fan of Macbeth and Henry V, and played Oberon in a high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, from which I still remember only my first line: "Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania!").
TNP likes Captain America.
True, the movie turned out a lot more enjoyable than I expected it to be.
TNP owns an iPad.
False. My husband has one though.
TNP feels nostalgic about long childhood summers whenever s/he hears the sound of a lawnmower.
False. I remember the time I was hit in the head by a flying rock, courtesy of a ride-on, and had to go to hospital...
TNP likes dragonfruit.
False! Dragonfruit is easily available here, and we don't understand why it counts as "food" if you are not starving.
TNP currently has exactly the number of children they want in life, whether it is zero, 1, 2, 3 ....
Yeah, that's probably true. We were lucky with the kid.
TNP is a life-long insomniac.
False, it comes and goes. Lately, I'm sleeping like a log.
TNP can eat an entire pack of Pringles in one go.
I'm sure I could (what is it, like 8 ounces of salty dried potatoes?), so I'm going to say "true," but I don't think I've eaten even a singular Pringular in the past five years. God, my wedding ring is getting tight just thinking about eating a whole can. Got water? :D
TNP has been stung by a bee or a wasp in the last decade.
True! For the very first time just a couple of years ago. Bitch hurt.
TNP likes Converse All-Stars.
Very much so. I own two pairs right now - a pair of black suede low tops, and a pair of black canvas low tops that are almost 8 years old.. In fact, I'll probably wear some today.
TNP wears sandals of some kind regularly.
True - I have a pair of flip-flops by the back door that I slip on most every day to go tromping through the yard inspecting our not-very-productive garden.
TNP had a less than ideal experience when they lost their virginity.
Hrm. It wasn't all rose petals and angelic singing, but I've certainly had worse sex.
TNP owns a vibrator.
We own several, and they work for the benefit of all. Does that count? :angel:
TNP gives a damn about the upcoming Olympic games.
A damn, yes, but not much more than that. I hope they go well and that the U.S. wins its share of medals, but otherwise I can't say I'm counting the days.
TNP likes Daredevil.
False - whatever it is, I've never encountered it.
TNP is shocked that there is someone out there who has never heard of Daredevil.
Surprised but not shocked, assuming he's talking about the (truly abysmal) Marvel Comics film adaptation starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
TNP has watched an episode of The Jerry Springer Show in its entirety.
True, but not since some time in the '90s. I would be home sick from school, and we didn't have cable.
TNP grew up without cable.
True. Most of my childhood was without TV, period.
TNP can cook a steak properly.
Correct, although I'd rather trust a skilled cook to do it.
Correct. All of my questions this round are about movies, in alphabetical order. As you probably already surmised.Quote:

TNP is wearing sandals.
No. Just, no.
TNP looks good in stiletto heels.
Since I wouldn't look good crashing to the floor due to my inability to balance, I'm gonna go with "false."
TNP writes at least 100 SMS texts each month.
Nope. I don't think I've sent more than ten texts in my entire life. I'm much more a phone call or email guy.

TNP knows how to work an adding machine (the one with the spool of paper).
False? I've never tried. I could probably figure it out pretty quickly.
TNP has had a manicure in the last 6 months.
Unless you mean cutting and filing my own nails, no.
OCS, what's "the occasional *$"?
TNP likes Harry and the Hendersons.
* (star) + $ (bucks) :coffee:
False, I thought Harry and the Hendersons was awful.
TNP likes beef jerky.
"Likes" is pretty strong, although I can eat it, as I can most things.

If I may paraphrase the poster before me: "Likes" is pretty strong, although I can eat Slim Jims, as I can most things.
TNP remembers with shame a prank they pulled in the past without really understanding the consequences.
Sure, I did some mean things to my sister when we were little.

To varying degrees; I'm at least friendly with all of them and very close to some.
TNP is overdue to call his or her mom.
True, I am a Bad Daughter. (I just don't like talking on the phone!) :fail:
TNP has something nice planned for Father's Day.
Not in particular, although we always take a picture that day of me with my sons.
TNP liked Ice Castles.
Ice what?
TNP has never had athlete's foot.
False. I used to get it disturbingly often.
TNP has played pool/8 ball recently.
True! I got my husband a pool table for Christmas. We don't use it as often as we should, but it sees some action.
TNP has eaten a meat beyond the standard poultry, beef, lamb, or pork.
Sure. Elk, venison, seal, caribou, whale, squirrel, rabbit, probably more.
TNP is a vegan.
True! I've had ostrich, alligator, venison, and bison.
TNP has eaten an animal they have personally killed.
True, but nothing bigger or more biologically complex than some shellfish (mussels, crabs, clams, and I've cracked a few oysters straight out of the water).
TNP is, or has been, vegan.
Not a chance. I like meat too much.
TNP likes Jabberwocky (1977 Terry Gilliam film).
False. I saw it but was disappointed in it.
TNP would, if offered the chance, take a one-way trip to Mars as part of a colonization effort.
Damn right. I'm single and childless, and I'm sure my family would understand. I suspect I don't have much in the way of desirable skill-sets, though.
TNP owns a telescope.
False. But I'd like to...
TNP likes crumpets.
Probably true. I don't know if I've ever had a crumpet, but it sounds tasty.
TNP likes coffee with cream in it.
Nope, I take mine as black and bitter as Al Sharpton.

True. I also like coffee without sugar. JUST HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!

False - I don't like mountain climbing, or cinematic depictions thereof.
TNP watches Masterpiece Theater.
False. Don't even know what it is...
TNP has almost crashed a vehicle in the past week.
False in the past week, but extend that back in time to the last time I drove (a few months ago), and it is lucky that I and my passenger are still alive.
TNP gets migraines.
False. I don't get headaches in general very often at all, let alone debilitating, medicine-proof ones. Thank goodness.
TNP has an iron stomach, in terms of never really getting out of sorts...down there.
True. As I age I'm finding that fiery chilis cause some discomfort, which saddens me. On the whole, however, I have little to no problems with heartburn, the runs, flatulence, or any other food-induced gastric discomfort.
TNP likes red licorice better than black licorice.
True. I don't like black licorice at all, so I like the red stuff better by default.
TNP likes pistachio-flavored ice cream.
Not my favorite (that would be mint chocolate), but I have no objection to it.
TNP likes Logan's Run.
True! Fish! Plankton! Protein from the sea! When I was 9 or 10, it completely fired my imagination.
TNP knows about how much an ounce of gold costs right now.
False. TNP is picky about the brand of paper towels they buy.
