True. They’re a necessary nuisance, at best. TNP has been interviewed on television. ---

True. Not live, but for an in-the-street segment that later aired (I was marching in a pro-choice protest parade when the reporter and her cameraman came up to me). TNP will be marching on Saturday. ---

False. I’ll be sound asleep during the day preparing to work an overnight shift. TNP has had an internal organ or gland surgically removed. ---

True. Gall bladder and appendix be gone!! The next person wishes they tried harder to learn a musical instrument in youth. ---

True. Being able to play guitar or piano would be nice. The Next Person has been to a museum in the last 2 years. ---

True! My daughter and I were at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago about three weeks ago. The next poster once growled “The cross belongs in a museum!” at the villain and then got punched for their efforts. ---

Never said those words in my life, and didn’t get punched for it! TNP can think of a movie where he or she rooted for the villain and not the hero. ---

False. Can’t think of one but it is likely I hoped that a dipshit protagonist would “get written out of the story.” The next poster wonders what the big deal is of wearing parameciums on shirts. ---

False. Never heard of anyone with a paramecium on his shirt. I prefer to keep mine in water, where they’ll live longer. The next poster has eaten alligator. ---

True. Tastes like chicken, wet chicken. The next poster was thrown off the case by his captain but still found the killer. ---

Oh, sure, true. Everyone knows the Professor’s a loose cannon who works better without the restrictions that come with the badge. Okay, metaphorically true: when appraising some fine art at a house, my boss told me not to do the Japanese woodblock prints in the bedroom, but I did anyway, and they turned out to be by Utamaro and worth in the tens of thousands of dollars each, so, that. The next poster has an invitation to the upcoming royal wedding in the UK. ---

False although I don’t know why 😊 TNP has gotten lost getting home from a familiar location at least once, call it a brain fart maybe. ---

False. I’ve missed turns I shouldn’t have, but have never gotten lost getting home, as such. TNP got out in the sun today. ---

False. Just woke up from a daytime sleep. working night shift tonight and won’t leave home until its dark. TNP will put together an Easter basket for a kid this year. ---

Nope, they’re all (mostly) grown up now. TNP fondly remembers childhood Easter-egg hunts. ---

True, but it was many years ago. TNP has written to their senator/representative. ---

True. Several times. The next player has ridden on a float in a parade. ---

Well, true, but it wasn’t so much a float as a chariot for High School Latin Club. I was in a toga. But the chariot was pulled by a car. The Next Poster prefers Beethoven to Mozart.
