Do stripper uniforms count? Otherwise, no not really. They're never flattering to a woman that I've ever seen.
TNP knows someone who can play the banjo.
Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.
True, one of my best friends and fellow counselors from Scout summer camp (many years ago) can. We still keep in touch now and then.
TNP has too many coffee mugs.
Nah, impossible.
TNP has something special they do every Friday.

I go to my friend's band practice and play the congas as a reference for the drummer on Sympathy for the Devil and Black Magic Woman. I can't play well, but it helps him and I love hanging with the band.

True, I was confused the next morning, wondering how I managed to sleep until almost 2 o'clock.
TNP has fun and exciting plans for the weekend.
Give me whiskey when I'm thirsty,Give me a cold beer when I'm dry, Give me root beer when I'm sickly, Give me a headstone when I die.
True. Last night I hosted a get-together with the women I go trekking with and we had an insanely fun evening. Tonight my husband and I are going to the Marine Corps Ball .... nope, not inherently my idea of fun AT ALL, but a cool friend has to go because she's connected to the US Embassy, so she asked a bunch of us to go along. We will do our best imitation of grown-ups and get decently dressed, then go stare at everyone there, laugh, dance and drink.
TNP has been vaccinated against H1N1.

Not yet. Not in a "high priority group", and not a queue jumper.
TNP has never had a traffic ticket.
True, I've never had a driver's license either so that helps things.
TNP is going to cook dinner at home tomorrow and not go out to eat.
Give me whiskey when I'm thirsty,Give me a cold beer when I'm dry, Give me root beer when I'm sickly, Give me a headstone when I die.
Half true, I will eat at home tomorrow. But we shall dine on leftovers - no cooking involved unless you count microwaving.
TNP does not speak a second language, and this troubles them.
On the contrary; I speak three languages and feel unaccountably smug about it, even though that's really only unusual or remarkable in light of the fact that I'm American.
TNP has been to a live music concert in the past month.

True - if following through on a fart counts? Just the once, mind!True; the marble-floored foyer of a reception hall where one of my then-employees was celebrating her wedding.

TNP will not let the above information lower me in their estimation.
To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
True, if you get any lower you're going to have to start speaking mandarin.
TNP has passed out in a public place before.
Give me whiskey when I'm thirsty,Give me a cold beer when I'm dry, Give me root beer when I'm sickly, Give me a headstone when I die.
True. I guess it was only semi-public as it was a shuttle bus between MIT and Wellesley that I think one or both schools operated. But it was very crowded, and I went from standing to a very cozy relationship with the laps of the people in the seat closest to me. The only thing I was under the influence of was pot, so it's a bit surprising.
TNP has seen an object in the sky they were unable to explain.
Hell yes. There have been two separate instances where I have seen something flying in the sky that couldn't be explained. Once was during the day too.
TNP has been beaten up before.
Give me whiskey when I'm thirsty,Give me a cold beer when I'm dry, Give me root beer when I'm sickly, Give me a headstone when I die.
No, thank goodness. Even when I was in a kid and got in the odd fistfight, I don't remember being beaten up.
TNP doesn't have to work on November 11.
False. I do have to work - it's not a holiday in Indonesia, nor is it a holiday for my employer now that I'm working for Australians.
TNP is kind of hungry right now.
True. I am feeling a bit peckish... perhaps it's time for a little Venezuelan beaver cheese?
TNP recognizes that reference.
OK, I'm thinking that's a big bunch of "Whatcha talkin' bout, Elendil?"
TNP has reached the age where they're thinking about adding more fibre to their diet.
True but irrelevant. I'm getting old, but I've had a pretty high fiber diet my whole life so no changes are needed. My only age-related lifestyle change is that I'm stricter than I used to be about getting lots of vigorous exercise - it's harder to keep flab at bay as you age.
TNP is having trouble thinking of a good "TNP..." statement.
False. They seem to pop into my head without too much trouble.
Rube E., for more on Venezuelan beaver cheese, see here:
TNP has seen that sketch at least twice before.
Bump.
Yes. Yes, I have.
TNP doesn't care much for Monty Python.
Sorta; I've seen the big classics (Holy Grail, Life of Brian) and been well entertained, but I've never felt the need to seek out more Monty Python.
TNP can remember being spanked as a child.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

False. I suppose it mighta happened when I was little, but I don't remember it.
TNP can remember being spanked as an adult.
False - I've never misbehaved enough to warrant one.
TNP thinks kinky sex is doing it with the light on.
To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
False, nothing kinky at all about leaving the lights on. For kinky, you have to ... oh, never mind.
TNP is idly speculating on the overall sexual habits of the Mellophant community right now.
Hmm...false, because after one of your sex posts, my speculation goes just a little past idle.
TNP couldn't say how many addresses they've had without having to stop and add them up.
True, and I've had so many that even after adding them up I might get the wrong total.
The next poster can't remember the last time they had a headache.
False. I had one last week, but it wasn't too bad. I sometimes get them when I skip lunch.
TNP never misses a lunch.
False. I like to eat, but when the pressure is on I skip lunch.
TNP has fasted for 24 hours, other than for medical reasons.
False, oh lord is it ever false. (swallows another pile of aspirin and tums)
