Given a choice between reading a good book and going to a big party, four times out of five TNP would choose the party.
Golly, it's tough to answer this question. How big is the party? Do I know the people there? If I know the people and it isn't too huge, or if I know the people and there's an activity I can get behind, then probably True.

The next poster has cheated on a spouse, partner or significant other.

The next poster is fucking annoyed and will tell us with what.
True - it's only just building, but the constant drone of hedgecutters and lawnmowers everytime we have a fucking dry spell, is driving me to distraction. In fact, it's not a 'drone', it's the full-throated whirr of a buzzsaw. Aaaaarghhhh!

TNP owns a pair of roller skates/roller blades.

TNP has never gotten a Valentine's Day card.
Besides the stuff you get in grade school, no. I’m vocally against cards being purchased for me because I feel guilty if I throw them away, but I’m not sentimental about them and don’t want the clutter. My fiancée however has kept ever single card I’ve ever given her for anything, and I buy her cards on a random basis at least once a month. I know, I’m a sucker.
TNP has owned a boat.
False but I stole the same one 3 years in a row back in high school.
TNP is drunk right now.
False, but try me again in two hours.

TNP has to work at some point this weekend.
Nope, though I did just have to deal with a phone call from a semi-panicked coworker.
TNP really does instead on some drunkinationosity tonight.

TNP does not play golf.
True. I've gone to a few driving ranges, but never played a real game of golf.

TNP watches VH1 reality shows.
Gawd no. I watch very little TV, particularly in the summer.
TNP doesn't wear jewelry or any sort (excepting maybe a wedding ring).

TNP has seen one of their own x-rays.
I could put on a power point presentation called: Skateboarding...Bad for the ankles.

TNP has done either cocaine or heroin before.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck no, I'm not touching that shit.
TNP has stolen from an employer.

TNP has something out of the ordinary lined up for tonight.
Kind of true. My friends and I did have some boating stuff lined up but it fell through. Next weekend!

TNP hasn't gone camping in years.
True... not since the mid-80's.
TNP played some sort of board game over the weekend.

TNP has watched a black & white movie this week.
True. But before you start thinking of me as all highbrow and cultured, it was not Casablanca or City Lights, but Clerks.
TNP wears their cell phone on a clip or holster, outside their pocket.
False. I keep it in my purse. Let me go on record and say that I also use *gasp* a bluetooth from time to time when I use my cell phone. I know the hive mind here on the boards think that is the height of assholishness, but it's simply technology that makes our lives easier.
TNP flosses their teeth daily
I only think Bluetooth people are assholes if they're using it in a situation where it would be rude to be using a cell phone in the first place. Then the BT just adds that little oomph of self-important douchery to the existing rudeness. Otherwise, they're just technology: neither good nor evil. I own one and I use it on road trips all the time. Safer and more convenient.
True. I floss religiously.
TNP uses a separate conditioner in their hair.

TNP has used a pay phone recently.
I think the last time I used a pay phone was about 8 years ago, to call a cab after my car got towed.
