False, although I’m not as well-traveled as some. And I’ve only been on the European mainland once, for a long weekend visit to Paris. TNP has been in Paris. ---

[Paris, Illinois](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris,_Illinois)? Of course. The next person is addicted to [TVtropes.com](http://TVtropes.com). ---

IMDB is about as close as I get to [TVtropes.com](http://TVtropes.com). The next poster has dropped $10 on slots in Vegas, and never gambled since. ---

Close: $40 on video poker, and I have gambled since. The next poster thinks United Airlines sucks. ---

I do think that. The next poster thinks **Elendil’s Heir** doesn’t post in his own threads enough. More! 😛 ---

Depends on the thread. The next poster is about 3 feet by 4 feet and has a picture of a popular rock band on it. ---

Nope. I’m 6’ 2" and have a picture of Outer Banks lighthouses on me… well, on my T-shirt, anyway. Thanks, **Knorf**. I do try to keep up! TNP will vote in an election in the next 30 days. ---

Nope. No elections coming up that I know of. The next poster is engaged or happily married. ---

Ridiculously happy, thanks. TNP’s main hobby is of a “creating” bent – pottery, crocheting, cabinet-making, etc…something in which there is a tangible, finished product at the end of each project. ---

Stained glass windows are my thing! The next poster believes in at least one “crackpot” conspiracy theory. ---

Well, I’m still not _entirely_ convinced that Oswald acted alone, but otherwise no. TNP has been to Dallas, Texas. ---

I’ve done some Improv comedy, does that count? TNP had a bagel for breakfast this morning. ---

False. Small glass of OJ and then out the door. TNP would eat three donuts at a time if he or she could. ---

Absolutely! Only, I have celiac’s disease and am not allowed to eat wheat or wheat flour . . . TNP is taking a class this summer. ---

False, although I’ll teach a class (legal advocacy) this fall at my alma mater. TNP knows more than six Latin phrases. ---

I do like kittens and would have one if my daughter wasn’t allergic. The next poster was a mediocre student in high school. ---

I did well enough to pass. The next poster is a little too gassy. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-next-poster/539927.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-next-poster/539927.md?page=4)
