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:

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. :rolleyes:
TNP takes his or her coffee black.
False. Coffee without cream makes me sad.
TNP drinks unsweetened ice tea.
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.
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. :D
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.
Yes. In that, I and beagles are one and the same.
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.
TNP is trying to fight off a headache.
Not today, fortunately. If you are, hope you're feeling better!
TNP likes doughnuts.
Well, I'm alive and a human, so yes.
TNP owns a bicycle.
Yes, although I haven't ridden it this year yet. Still hanging upside-down in our garage.
TNP likes eggplant.
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.
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.
TNP likes stinky cheeses.
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 gets a sore neck regularly.
