True. 34, if you count NE, which I only landed on in a plane and never walked around there. TNP doesn’t give a hoot about what I just posted. ---

Wow, I think CC may have psychic powers. That’s uncanny. I mean I really don’t care. TNP has multiple examples of no longer matching drinking glasses from partial sets. (due to attrition) ---

False. Pretty much all my glasses have several siblings. TNP vividly remembers the details of him or her first learning about 9/11 (where you were, who you were with, who told you, what you first thought, etc.) ---

Very true TNP learned some bad/sad news this past week. ---

True. My father in law passed away an hour ago TNP has written an obituary ---

False. I have written a few retirement speeches, though. TNP has written at least one short story as an adult (not as part of a school assignment). ---

True, and many of them have been published, mostly in children’s magazines. The next player enjoys playing volleyball. ---

True, but at 64 I fear I’m past my prime. The Next Player owns at least one of The Straight Dope books. ---

True. At least I did before we moved, I’m not sure if my wife threw them out. TNP can name the Warner Brothers cartoon characters that correspond to rabbit, duck, cat , skunk, rooster. ---

I proudly boast that I own a first edition of the original Straight Dope, and all subsequent volumes. TNP reads at least one specific comic strip every day. ---

True. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Pepe le Pew, Foghorn Leghorn and I all read _Pearls Before Swine_ daily. Condolences also from me to Procrustus. The Next Poster has a birthday in August. ---

(didn’t want to leave this one lying there unanswered) > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > The Next Poster has a birthday in August. False. TNP cannot state McHale’s first name from McHale’s Navy. ---

False, I even named a goldfish Commander Quentin. That’s how it was spelled in my mind when I was seven or eight and had never seen McHale’s full name in print. Besides, a goldfish never wears his name tag 🙂 TNP watched _Jeopardy!_ when it was hosted by Art Fleming. ---

Yes. I remember also in the ‘60s having a home Jeopardy game. TNP can name (without Google) who was always in the center square in Hollywood Squares. ---

True (if it was Paul Lynde). TNP has never ridden a bus to school. ---

True. But I had “bus watch duty” the first few years I was a teacher. TNP doesn’t care at all that I was a teacher. ---

False, I’m a teacher. TNP remembers their favorite and least favorite teacher from grade school. ---

True, Mrs. Jordan was a wonderful, caring and thorough teacher, Miss Barbara was a humorless bitch, and it’s always struck me as kinda funny that the young single teachers in my elementary school in the '60’s were referred to as “Miss First Name”, I don’t even know if I knew her last name. TNP poster knows who Norma Jean Baker was without using Google, hint, she died the day I was born… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=55) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=57)
