False, it’s probably been years, though I love shakes(not malts) and since you brought it up I’ll have to make a chocolate shake by this evening at the latest.

</div>

False. I always get a huge return, by design (and I know it’s not the smart way to go).

TNP has an old Tivo box laying around somewhere.

</div>

True, the opportunity never arose. There are also so many places I want to go to right here in Texas, and in the US, that I won’t feel a loss for that. And now a passport is required just to walk over the bridge into Mexico, so I probably never will.

TNP eats some kind of seafood at least twice a week.
