(Glad to see you weren't psychologically scarred).
False. Never been to Boston. Closest I've been is a small city 8 hours west of Moscow.
TNP is scared of drop bears.

Actually, after consulting the map, I think France is the closest I've been to Boston. By a fair margin.

Oh, I screwed up again. No, I'm not scared of dropbears.
TNP is sort of dehydrated.

I'm not dehydrated because I am drinking Guinness.

Eins zwei drei vier!
March, prole! eta...maybe I can't! No, I'm sure I can do 5 different languages -- probably not with perfect spelling...German, French, Italian, Spanish, English. That's five -- good enough.
TNP likes the French culture.

Actually, yes. Never saw so many Dunkin' Donuts in my life.
TNP has been to Baltimore.

No, I never had a reason to get down to Baltimore. (Dunkin Donuts? OK, I can see the French thinking it's a fun idea). I know a surprising amount of people who studied at Johns Hopkins, and a few who spent time at Annapolis, though.
TNP is spending the weekend taking it very easy.

No, I was on the road and working on and off. Tomorrow should be easier.

No, not at all. Yes, i respect family who perished in wars, and I really would like to put flowers up on the tombs, but, frankly, i get confused keeping straight all the holidays and which is for which.
TNP is doing some "spring cleaning" at the moment -- not very well, in my case, but i made a giant mess at this place I'm housesitting, so gotta do it.

No, not at the moment. But has a plan!
TNP has fooled a kid within the last few months with a "magic" trick my oldest nephew was amazed when I pretended to find a coin behind his ear on Easter....and I'm really good at doing the one where you pretend your thumb is detached -- I don't know if that fooled anyone, though. But srsly, the kid was scratching behind his ear for like ten minutes to see where the candy came from. I'm the best uncle in the world!

No, but last night my son showed me two card tricks that he just learned.

TNP has no problem eating too fast, under the right circumstances. Probably shouldn't, but still, it feels good.

Yes, sometimes I wolf down my food, especially when I'm really hungry. Usually I don't get a stomach ache, fortunately.
TNP loves chocolate milkshakes.

False -- not in principle, but I haven't had a 'shake since I was a kid.
TNP has a strong preference of cheese to the other dairy concoctions.

No, much as I love cheese (Parmesan, sharp cheddar and bleu, in particular), I'm happy to get my dairy dose in just about any way - milk, cheese or ice cream.
TNP has seen cheese being made.
-

Oliphaunt
TRUE! My dad started making cheese a few years ago -- my mother hates it, with all the money he spends (apparently) on refirgerators and building crazy cheese presses. She never fails to complain about this kind of stuff, so I always hear about it.
TNP has seen wine being made.

True, in that I work during the day, false in that it doesn't support a more fun job.
TNP often wakes up in the middle of the night.

Bloody oath, mate! All the time, regardless of day of the week. I truly am getting old before my years.

TrojanMan has a bizarre fixation on Gene Krupa. Why? I'm a jazz man and I think I've heard maybe two or three albums in my life featuring GK. That is the most bizarre obsession I've ever heard.

Yeah, I know he's a drummer, dipshit.
TNP has picked his or her nose a few times recently AND enjoys wearing an eyepatch.

True, when I'm congested in the morning, and false, respectively.
TNP always feels like a pirate when he or she wears an eyepatch. Arrrrr!
-

Oliphaunt
Actually, no. I just feel old and pathetic. Of course, maybe that's how pirates with eyepatches felt.
TNP has never quite understood how the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, which is a pretty grim spectacle of arson, torture and sex slavery, got to be considered family fun.

False. It was always good-old-fashioned fun to me, like the Haunted House. Are you sure you're not overstating the raping and pillaging aspects?
TNP intends to actively avoid to Disnleyland for the rest of his or days -- if I had kids, that might be different, but I'm going to say "no" to coming along if my nephews, their family, and their grandparents plan an excursion.

No, I'd be willing to visit if the kids really wanted to. They've never asked, though.
TNP has been to either Disneyland or Disneyworld at least twice.
-

Yeah, several times to World, once to Land, and have taken two Disney cruises with one coming up. Love it.
TNP wishes Warner Brothers had a theme park.

Yeah, that would be cool. Although don't they have the Harry Potter-themed park in Florida?
TNP is a big HP fan.

Tried and failed several to watch one of the movies. Did browse some Latin translation of one of the books at a bookstore -- pretty neat idea. I still couldn't figure out what the hell was going on, though. Something about some little kid wizards and stuff doing spell in dog Latin.
TNP doesn't like kids' movies.

Most, true. But just about all Pixar movies and some other Disney movies, I like.
TNP agrees with me that The Incredibles is the best Pixar movie evah.

You know, that's one I've never seen. But I have a feeling I'd put UP! or Ratatouille ahead of it.
TNP likes movies in 3-D.

No. Not out of principle -- *Jaws 3* was pretty cool. I guess *Dial 'M' for Murder* was...well, never mind, I hate that movie.
TNP cringes when people say the ignorant phrase "old B&W movies."
-

No, I don't mind that phrase. I know what they're talking about.
(Rube, promise me you'll see The Incredibles in the next month. You'll love it!)
TNP's all-time favorite movie is B&W (as is mine - Casablanca).
-

*Casablanca* is ... OK.
TNP actully *has* a favorite movie.
-

Absolutely. After Casablanca, top favorites of mine are Breaker Morant, Notorious, Limitless, Star Wars, The Avengers, The Iron Giant, Iron Man, The Fellowship of the Ring, Pride & Prejudice, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Trading Places, Animal House, The Incredibles... I could go on.
TNP loves at least two of those movies.

Hope not...but touching wood. I've been working too many weekends.
TNP can get way more accomplished when they work weekends, even if they don't like it.
-

#5243

Well, it depends how you define "work." I certainly get far more research done on the weekends at home than when my energy is dissipated by commuting and going through the daily grind.
TNP has a pretty loose definition of work.

No, I know what is and what isn't, and rarely is the line blurred.
TNP should get an eye exam.

Generally, yes, although I've met some dumb, racist and/or unpleasant elders who weren't worthy of it.
TNP drank more than two glasses of wine in the past week.

TNP likes cider.

I'm ashamed to say, as a man of catholic tastes, no, not especially. Maybe I never had a good one.
TNP isn't too picky about food and drink, in general.
