[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] TND collects something (e.g. stamps, coins, dead butterflies). [/QUOTE] True. I collect postcards, and technically have a stamp collection even though I haven’t added any new specimens to the album (which is still at my parents’ house in Ohio) in years. The next poster opposes “Click it or Ticket” laws. ---

Granted, I always wear my seat belt, but why should the law tell me I have to. I am also opposed to open container laws, but in favor of tougher penalties for drunk drivers. TND has spent at least two hours in jail, involuntarily, of course. SSG Schwartz ---

False. Though I will occasionally run a biorythm for chuckles. TND has had a stalker. ---

False. I’ve been punched and I’ve been threatened with death and grave bodily harm, but I’ve never been stalked. (All those starlets and supermodels are not nearly as obliging as I’d hoped.) The next Doper has visited Washington’s home, Mount Vernon. ---

Alas, false. I’ve only ever been to the U.S., Canada, the Bahamas, the U.K. and France. Never south of the equator - someday, mebbe, I’ll make it to Australia and New Zealand, for instance. That’d be nice. The next Doper can’t stand Paris Hilton. ---

As to your response, I’ll take that as a “True.” 😉 For my answer to your question, false. Although I’ve been tempted to get one. The next Doper counts at least two women named Susan among his/her close or pretty close friends. ---

True. That would be none. I’ve dated a cricket player but that’s as far into sports as I’m willing to go. TND knows how to play cricket (ok maybe I’m just looking for another date) ---

False. Cricket is a total mystery to me. I actually understand Quidditch a little better. The next Doper has _played_ Cricket. ---

Nope. Just killed a whole bunch of 'em though. Sticking to a sport theme…one that I’ve done myself… TND has touched/held/raised Lord Stanley’s Cup. ---

[QUOTE=bigbabysweets2000] Nay, but don’t worry TND has won their fantasy sports league that they play in. [/QUOTE] False, I wish I understood fantasy sports. Keeping with the sports theme: TND thinks #756 should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. SSG Schwartz ---
