False. I like most (Americanized) Chinese food, and am particularly fond of General Tso’s chicken and sweet and sour pork.

The next Doper has a favorite country and western song.

" I go out walking  
After midnight  
Out in the moonlight  
Just hoping you might be…"

It’s pretty much the only one I like so I guess it’s my favorite.

TND has a favorite punk rock song.

True. Well, “plays” is maybe off the mark, as I haven’t played in years, but in junior high I was the best damned alto saxophone player around. Or so I thought.

The next Doper couldn’t care less if Rupert Murdoch buys the WSJ.

False. Assuming 99er has something to do with sports.

TND has recently updated their resume.

True. I landed a new job four months ago.

BTW, 99er means “original SDMB member from that year,” I believe.

TND has never been to a major league professional sporting event.

False, but I need to update my Enlisted Records Brief (ERB). It mostly documents my Army experience in the same way a resume shows your work experience.

TND has been pitted in the last six months.

Yes, many. Most of my indie/punk rock friends will never understand why I love Judas Priest and Matchbox 20; most of my musician friends can’t get over the fact that I like Akon.

And you guys skipped over my last one:mad:, so once again: TND has never been to a major league sporting event.

Is it true if I have one, but it isn’t even plugged into the wall?  
TND collects something (e.g. stamps, coins, dead butterflies).
