Return of the Describe the Next Doper thread (Game)

They’re authentic. Tell me if you like spanakopita because that’s my favorite dish.

True! And I also like spanakopitas.

TND (forgive me for assuming American-ness) has voted for presidential candidates from both the Democratic and Republican parties in his or her lifetime.

I have, even independent, but politics suck.

TND likes jello.

Oh hell yes.

TND’s screen name contains, or is a variation or play on, his or her real name.

False.

TND has hit a golf ball 300+ yards.

False.

TND can do that Vulcan handsign thing.

\//.

Yup.

TND owns a pair of in-line skates (roller blades).

False. Skating hurts my ankles.

The next Doper owns no Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems stock.

True. Indeed, I own no shares of any company.

TND (again assuming USA residence) has cast a ballot in the past for at least one of the current presidential candidates. (As I mentioned in another thread, I voted for Ron Paul when he was the Libertarian candidate in '88, and for Dennis Kucinich when he was elected to Congress from the Ohio district in which I once resided.)

Nope. I voted for GHWB in '92 and the Dem candidate each time since then.
TND has attended an Olympic event in person.

False. I’d like to someday, though, if I can just find a place to park. :wink:

The next Doper has been involved in Scouting at some point in his/her life.

True. I made it to Star.
TND buys Girl Scout cookies every year, or almost every year, because he or she loves them. Love the cookies, you pervert.

True. Those Thin Mints are addictive, I tell you!

The next Doper recognizes my earlier reference to Yoyodyne.

False. Help a brother out?
Hmm…the game has turned from Hot Potato to Ping-Pong. TND (Elendil’s Heir) has run a race of at least 10K in length.

Sorry, gotta snake it…true, many times.

TND loves camping.

True, but haven’t been in a couple of years. It just didn’t sound as fun with kids in diapers.
TND lives in the state or province he/she was born in.

I know the Yoyodyne reference. Am I too late?

False.
TND uses a toothpaste that is not primarily white in color.

True.

TND has taken a public speaking class.

False, but I probably should. And my mother was attending Toastmasters.

TND owns or has owned a bright red car.

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.
