Yes, I do, though technically I guess I have patios. One of life’s greatest pleasures is sitting on my kitchen patio drinking coffee between first light and sunup. TNP listens to a lot of Mozart. ---

False, I guess. Not a _lot_. But lately I’ve been asking Alexa to “play Mozart”. TNP know who provides the voice for the Arby’s ‘we’ve got the meats’ commercials. ---

False, so I looked it up. Ving Rhames. The Next Poster has seen all of _The Pirates of the Caribbean_ movies. ---

False, I saw the first one and liked it, have seen bits and pieces of others and I couldn’t tell you how many there actually are. TNP would rather spend time at a beach on the ocean than at a lake in the mountains. ---

False TNP watched a movie this weekend. ---

False. I started watching “Love, Simon” last night but found it boring and turned it off about half-way through (and I \*never \*do that). TNP is not comfortable climbing on the roof of a house from a ladder (say, a single-level ranch style). ---

True!! I’m uncomfortable standing on the ladder!(Yet I’ll fly in a commercial jet, go figure.) TNP has been on at least one plane flight that was scary (excess turbulence, drops, very bad weather,etc.) ---
**Author:** ![Bayaker](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/bayaker/32/3454_2.png) [@Bayaker](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Bayaker)\ **Post date:** [August 13, 2018, 3:41pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507/1148 "2018-08-13T15:41:40Z")
True, about ten years ago I was on a small(20? seats) plane going through a LOT of turbulence and one “air pocket” drop was very severe. An alarm started going off and it took a while for the stewardess and co-pilot to figure out that it wasn’t important and get it shut off. The little old lady sitting next to me pulled out her Rosary and prayed for the rest of the flight, and I _might_ have been heard to mumble an Ave or two myself 🙂 TNP hates using air travel. ---

False. Apart from the whole security/boarding thing, I don’t find flying itself to be unpleasant. TNP does not own a magnetic compass (car doesn’t count) ---

False. I fly at least two round trips per month. First class upgrades take the sting out of most flights TNP has been in a hot air balloon. ETA: Ninja’d ignore. ---

I’ll answer both: False, I own my original Boy Scout compass from 1975, and I used it to teach my oldest son a crash course in orienteering before he went to basic training… False, I’ve never been in a hot air balloon and I’m not sure I would ever get in one… TNP has spent at least a 7-day stay in a hospital. ---

False. Just once, for 4 days. TNP knows the plot of the Leave It To Beaver episode “In the Soup”. ---

False. Never got into the show and would be hard pressed to name a single plot TNP prefers sauerkraut to borscht ---

True, never really enjoyed borscht. (I do recall the plot of _In The Soup_, though.) The Next Poster has a set of encyclopedias on the bookshelf. ---

True. In fact, I have two sets. The next book the next poster is planning to read is non-fiction. ---

True. I bought a couple reference books and 2nd and Charles. And The Rolling Stone Interviews. The next poster meditates but does so irregularly. ---

True. Like years between intervals where I do so with any regularity The next poster feels the best westerns were generally made during the 1950’s ---

False. Most westerns (and many good ones) were made in the 1950’s, but _No Country For Old Men_, _Desperado_, _The Good, The Bad & the Ugly_ & _Tombstone_ (to name a few) are better films than, say _The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance_. The Next Poster hasn’t had any Kool-Aid in over 10 years. ---

That’s true. Probably 40 to 45 years. (I don’t remember having any when my kids were little and that would have been the only opportunity since I was around 10 years old.) TNP has at least one original work of art in his/her home. (painting, sculpture, etc) ---

True, a few paintings by a friend who is an artist. The next player has never made a s’more. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=57) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=59)
