False. Although I wouldn’t mind the meal I mentioned earlier, it’s unlikely I’ll have it. TNP is listening to the radio right now. ---

Does listening to a conference call on someone’s speaker phone count? TNP is looking for a new job. ---

Always looking for a new and better job. The next poster’s kid is looking for _The Next Poster_ that will be hung up in their bedroom. ---

False. All three of my sons seem content with their room decor. TNP has a sports-related poster hanging somewhere in his or her home. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > False. All three of my sons seem content with their room decor. > > TNP has a sports-related poster hanging somewhere in his or her home. Nope; thought about getting [this one](http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Muhammad-Ali-vs-Sonny-Liston-Posters_i1050218_.htm), though. TNP carries a pocketknife. ---

Nope. Lost my only good one, sad to say. The next poster thinks that creating the website [http://www.americaspeakingout.com](http://www.americaspeakingout.com) is the best idea Republicans have ever had. ---

Won’t touch that one - won’t even click on it. I might be struck by lightning. The next person just got in touch with someone they haven’t talked to in a long time. ---

False. I’m still in touch with high school and summer camp friends 25-some years later, though. TNP has no use for Facebook. ---

Depends on what you mean…I’m on it every day, but I have no real “use” for it. 😃 The next poster studies the martial arts. ---

False, although some of my sons have. TNP has already had dinner today (7:41pm EST). ---

Nope, it’s not even 5 o’clock here, and I’m not a retiree. TNP has traveled somewhere on vacation in the last 3 months. ---

Guess you are allowed to respond even if you don’t fit the requested conditions; I’ve looked at like a dozen last posts so far, only to see that I don’t fit the request, and I then left. Just one viewpoint, but wouldn’t it be a more enjoyable thread if only those who would answer in the affirmative would be allowed to respond? Or would the thread die when nobody responds? Perhaps the GM would give a 24 hour window for a response? Just my 2 pence… ---

I went to Tunica (Casinos) for a long weekend. Does that count? TNP really wants to play in the weekly Texas Hold’m [SDMB poker tournament](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=558168) later this evening but is too intimidated. They shouldn’t be and it is fun and free! ---

I’m not intimidated, just not interested. TNP would rather have the temperature be 100 degrees Fahrenheit than 10 below. ---

I would…although if it’s that hot for more than three or four days in a row, I start yearning for a cold snap. TNP’s favourite Shakespeare tragedy is Macbeth. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-next-poster/539927.md?page=7)
