Yes. _Nutcracker_ as a kid. Just not a ballet fan, really. Have you ever been in a historic house and wanted to just move right in? ---

No. There’s usually too much gilt all over everything. Ever drunk neat vinegar? ---

Nope. Do you have any bumper stickers on your car? ---

Yup. Obama '08 and the U.S. Capitol Historical Society. Do you like apple cider? ---

Sometimes. It’s best if served hot on a cold day. Have you ever tried, I mean _really_ tried to move something with your mind? Be honest now… ---

No. Only to be silly, during discussions of telekinesis. Do you believe that any human being actually has the power of telekinesis? ---

Nah. But it’s fun to dream… 🙂 Have you ever taken somebody’s virginity? ---

Yes. I highly recommend it. 😉 Would you be embarrassed to now again meet the person who took your virginity? ---

No, not embarrassed but uncomfortable. Do you own anything monogrammed? ---

Yes, a belt buckle that was a high school graduation gift. Do you sleep in the nude in the summertime? ---

Yes - horizontally, not vertically, by my sons, much to their delight. Even better was freeing myself and then lurching at them with my arms outstretched, like some sandy beach monster. Do you get to the beach at least once a year? ---

Just returned last night (Saturday night) from a week at [Railay Beach](http://www.railay.com/railay/intro/intro.shtml). That’s on the Andaman Sea coast. Was at Bang Saphan on the Gulf of Thailand coast last August. Have you ever ridden a horse? ---

Yes. Just one of those ‘one horse following another one’ deals. Kinda dull, if you ask me. Do you understand the game of Cricket? ---

I don’t know anything about the game of Cricket, really… Can you juggle? ---

Only if nobody is watching, and even then, only for a few seconds. So I guess the answer is no, not really. Do you remember your Kindergarten teacher? ---

Kindergarten, that’s when you’re 6? Then for some reason no ☹ But I do remember my teachers when I was 7 (moved in between semesters). Ever had a crush on one of your teachers? ---

No. Do you know anyone who went to one of the U.S. military academies (West Point, Annapolis, etc.)? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/get-to-know-each-other/489836.md?page=39) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/get-to-know-each-other/489836.md?page=41)
