Yes, it is the lack of people’s faces frozen to the ice that puts me off the sport. The next poster is taking too long reading their book. ---

That’s right, my reading speed has gone to shit. The next poster speaks at least one non-English language fluently. ---

False. I took four years of high school Spanish but very little of it has stuck. I know a little German and French, even a smidgen of Latin, but in none of it am I fluent. TNP has heard Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” in the past week. ---

Nope, but it’s now firmly planted in my brain…thanks. The next poster is currently dating more than one person. ---

Actually I’ve been married for 29 years, and if I were seeing someone else, I sure as hell wouldn’t post it. Also, I heard Queen’s “Somebody to Love” this week. The next poster is NOT all wrapped up in the series finale of _Lost._ ---

Never seen a single episode. The next poster lives in the Eastern Time Zone of the United States. ---

Quite right! How could you possibly know? The next poster has three children, with at least one boy and one girl. ---

Oh shit! Well, I haven’t been served with process in any paternity suits so far. Wonder how old the kids are? The next poster has laid their hand on a Pittsburgh Steeler Fan… ---

Hey, my college roommate was a Steelers fan! The next poster loves bacon… ---

MMMmmmmmmm … bacon … _drool_ The next poster despises TV commercials and watches primarily via Netflix to avoid them. ---

False. Some of the ads are funny, or are for movies I wanna see or products I might actually buy. But yes, I do fast-forward through a lot of them. TNP has a favorite U.S. President, and will tell us who he was or is. ---

Does using VCR count? TNP thinks the Louisiana oil spill was actually sabotage by an ecoterrorist. * * * Oops! * * * Thomas Jefferson of course! TNP thinks the Louisiana oil spill was actually sabotage by an ecoterrorist. ---

False. Just gross incompetence by the folks running the drill rig. TNP likes the Beatles. ---

Love 'em. TNP watches _The Daily Show_ at least once per week. ---

Yup. I’m so stupid it takes me all week just to watch 1 Daily Show–just like it takes me 3 hours to watch 60 Minutes. TNP shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. ---

Well, I’ve been to Gatlinburg in mid-July, and I’d just hit town and my throat was dry–is that close enough? TNP has read LoTR all the way through at least 3 times (yes, even the Bombadil chapters!) ---

That’s definitely not true. I’ve never been to Reno, for a start. (ETA: And I’ve only read LOTR once, so there!) And while we’re on song themes, the next poster has been everywhere, man. ---

I’m working on being everywhere. Visit a new place every morning via the net. Why, just this morning I was in New England! The next poster does a cute little dance trick to amuse his family. ---

I don’t think I have any cash on me at all, rarely carry any. TNP has never been outside of his/her home state/country. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-next-poster/539927.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-next-poster/539927.md?page=3)
