[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] Almost true. My car is actually a dark red '97 Saturn SL1. As to Yoyodyne… it was invented by Thomas Pynchon for his novels _V._ and _The Crying of Lot 49_, but is probably best known today as the aerospace firm that provides a front for the evil Red Lectroids in the movie _Buckaroo Banzai_ (a favorite of mine). The next Doper hates Dixieland Jazz. [/QUOTE] False. It’s not my favorite form, but I generally enjoy it. I _hate_ “fusion” jazz. TND is allergic to peanuts. ---

False. I got my start with this here Dope, just three years ago. The next Doper has not read all 17 pages of the _Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows_ thread (but I have). ---

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] The next Doper has not read all 17 pages of the _Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows_ thread (but I have). [/QUOTE] False. I have not even opened the damn thing. I may enough of a dork to read Harry Potter (since catching on to the series, I’ve read each of the last four books on the day they came out) but I’ll never discuss it with others. That would be tantamount to admitting the problem. 😛 TND only drinks diet soda. ---

False. I rarely drink soda at all; an occasional root beer is the only soft drink I’m partial to. The next Doper, like JFK but unlike me, hates drinking ice water. ---

False. I love drinking ice water. I used to hate it when I was younger, though. TND has an office with a door and a window at work. ---

I do. It’s a gorgeous office that looks over the lake on one side, and fields on the other. It has furniture and an over large desk. My other office is a truck, it too, has a couple of doors and windows, and occasionally great views. TND knows how to change a tire. ---

True. Haven’t had to do it too often, fortunately. The next Doper has some recurring bad habit when under stress. ---

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] The next Doper has some recurring bad habit when under stress. [/QUOTE] I do have one…I pace. People hate it.

[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] TND graduated from college without ever switching declared majors (i.e. got a degree in the first thing he/she chose). [/QUOTE] True. I initially concentrated on political science and history, but didn’t officially declare a major until the end of my sophomore year, when I chose English. I got my degree in that subject two years later. TND has seen the film _Hemo the Magnificent_. ---
