The next person to post in this thread...

Nah, nothing nice. Should get some soons, though. I'm starting to look kind of ratty.

:: Is this on? ::

TNP has previously forgotten to provide the cue for TNP.

Never. I would perish before omitting critical information, or including such information whose inclusion would have constituted a sin of omission, by its inclusion.

TNP has had a crap diet for the past week or two, and is not "loving it" (wink to McDonalds).

Yesterday I had 3 cheeseburgers and and apple pie, and I was lovin' it'' just fine.

TNP has palm trees where they live.

Nope. I like seeing 'em elsewhere, though.

TNP has listened to an ELO tune in the past week.

Holy shit no.

TNP has listened to, and will name, other big acts known sometimes by initials, at some point in his or her history, that do not include ELP.

ETA yes, that's intentional

Sure - BTO, baby!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7miRCLeFSJo

TNP has at least one shirt with sparklies on it.

Sparklies? I'mgonna go ''no'' for this one. :/

TNP has enjoyed a pieceof fish in the last 31 hours.

31? Anyway,no, no fish lately.

TNP has lost something recently and has no idea where it is.

Yes, a small penknife. Not to worry, though - I have a spare.

TNP often carries a penknife.

False. I mean to, but I keep forgetting it. Actually, I've no idea where it is.

TNP bought some new clothes in the last 37 hours.

Yes, ordererd some off the Net

TNP wonders why some people won't leave a voice-mail at all, while others leave incredibly long pointless ones.

Oh, definitely.

TNP gets annoyed with people who see you've left a message but don't listen to it, and then call you back, expecting you to repeat your entire message.

I don't bother leaving messages because I know that's how it turns out...

TNP has an interesting trip/holiday coming up.

Kinda, I guess. Going to Disneyland at Christmas.

TNP has already had their flu shot for the year.

Hard time to get enough vaccine, apparently, for we underlings

TNP thinks flu shots are not the panaceae most think they are, so just wash your hands and don't touch eyes or mucal tissues unduly.

Alternate TNP -- TNP thinks carrying a 6-inch hunting kife with leather handle > penknife any day. And TNP doesn't really carry such a knife, because of legality and because he or she can't find his or her preferred knife since he or she was 13 or 14 y.o.

Yes as to the first, no as to the second.

TNP heard that Ben Bradlee, legendary editor of The Washington Post, just died.

No, hadn't heard that. On the other hand, I kind of thought he had died years ago.

TNP likes key lime pie.

Yes, very much - the tarter, the better. A mild Key Lime Pie isn't worth the ingredients IMHO.

TNP has at least three bumper stickers on his or her vehicle.

Nah, not one.

TNP has a vanity plate on his/her vehicle.

False, although I have in the past (my initials).

TNP knows someone whose initials spell a word.

Yep. Mine.

TNP learned something new today.

True. I learned that my neighbor is a very talented jack-o'-lantern carver.

TNP will be carving a jack-o'-lantern this Halloween.

Uncertain. Doubtful. I wouldn't know where to begin.

TNP enjoyed/will enjoy Oktoberfest as much as I did.

Dude I wish. Sausage on a stick, beer in giant mugs, religious architecture? Sounds like last night, sc. nuked corn dogs, Camo Ice, and fond memories.

TNP respects Germany and Austria but has never been there, because of laziness.

True. But tentatively planning a trip to Prague some time soon. That's very close to Germany and Austria...


TNP has been ''caught'' in a selfie with a hot chick within the last 16 hours.

Uhhh...actually probably true, but am not sure she was a "hottie." Am sure she thought she was, though!

TNP thinks people are hilarious and relishes just shooting the shit with random people.

In certain moods, yes. Sometimes they just make me cringe.

TNP has overdue stuff from the library.

At the moment, no. Returned a slightly-late DVD today.

TNP has a library DVD he or she has been meaning to watch.

Dude, no way. It's all online. Print is dead.

TNP fucking loves libraries, though. (Despite the hobo factor, which is annoying).

True. Haven't seen too many hoboes, though.

TNP once dressed as a hobo for Halloween.

If Fidel Castro counts as a hobo: yes.

TNP would like to visit Cuba.

Ahh, I guess not so much. Just so many otherer nice places to go where you're not supporting the last remains of a dictatorship. Don't feel strongly about it though -- I'd go if my wife planned the trip.

TNP will go pretty much anywhere if someone else does the work.

Yeah, I guess I would, unless it was a very dangerous place.

TNP has felt his or her life endangered while on a trip.

Yes, many times. Not badass like a crocodile attacking me, or drunken Bosnians taking potshots at me on an airstrip, just like regular shit happens.

TNP is very glad to not have to travel for some job.

Yes, now that I have a kid who I miss. When I was single, probably would have loved spending my life in airports and hotels.

TNP still gets a kick out of checking out what's in a new hotel room.

Yes, I like exploring new hotel rooms. Just stayed at a very nice Drury Hotel in Franklin, Tenn. - highly recommended.

TNP has been to Tennessee in the past year.

Never been, but I've heard it mentioned in a few songs.

TNP has eaten something unusually delicious within the last 21 hours.

False, not the last 21 hours, but certainly at the weekend discovered a lovely local eatery.

TNP always clears their plate, no matter what is served.

Nah, maybe if I'm a guest at a private house, but at a restaurant I won't eat what I don't like.

TNP sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and has a beastly time getting back to sleep.

Very, very rarely. I almost always fall right back asleep, fortunately.

TNP likes flipping over the pillow to feel the cool side against his or her cheek.

Nah, can't say I do that.

TNP is wearing some sort of costume for Halloween.

False, although I did go to a costume party last Saturday (wore my Scout uniform).

TNP was in the Scouting movement as a kid.

Oh, I pictured you more as a hot nurse. Is that so wrong???

True. I was so hardcore I earnt a writing badge.

TNP is wishing Kim Jong-un a speedy recovery with his ''ankle''.

Emphatically false. I'd prefer that he DIAF.

TNP doesn't have to look up that acronym.

No I was online since before you were born. 32-year old hippies.

TNP has irrational dislike of one ethnic group belonging to the Balkan peninsula.

Nope. I just wish they could all live in peace and harmony with one another.

TNP has someone in mind for next year's Nobel Peace Prize.

Nah, they all come as surprises to me.

TNP could use a cup of coffee, like right now.

I wouldn't say no.

TNP appreciates a well-used double negative.
