True(vice-versa) - I almost always scrape off the icing and eat the cake. Exceptions are the rare icing that doesn’t taste like pure sugar.

TNP usually prefers pie to other desserts.

</div>

Pretty much. If pumpkin, pecan, chocolate, cherry or blueberry pie is on offer, I will almost always have a slice (a la mode, please!).

TNP has been to Harpers Ferry, W.Va. in the past year.

False, never been to West Virginia, Virginia yes but not W.Va.

</div>

Very much true! pumpkin pie spices are wonderful but pumpkin by itself is highly under rated. Cleaned, peeled and lightly roasted, I’ll thoroughly enjoy it with just butter, salt and pepper.

TNP has some kind of exotic pet friend. Something less common than a dog or cat.

Not me, but my former brother-in-law had a boa constrictor that once almost killed him.

TNP would like to have a boa constrictor of his or her own.

No. No. I do not like snakes of any sort. Not in a box. Not with a fox…

TNP has changed their own oil during the last 20 years.

Yes. In fact, there’s still one in our house, not that we ever watch it.

True, I had two cups in me by 5:30 this morning. I am currently deciding if I should make another pot now, or wait until after lunch.

TNP drinks unadulterated (that’s straight-up black to the hoi polloi 🙂 ) coffee.

True, Klinger’s favorite baseball team was the Toledo Mud Hens.

TNP watched M_A_S\*H when it first came out, and not since.

That’s true. Odd to have a war show that went a lot longer than the war it was about.

TNP has a favorite war movie.

False. My high school friends and I were full-on M_A_S\*H fans- read the book, saw the movie, watched the show. Then continue to watch almost every episode for 10 years, even the annoying Alan Alda written/directed ones.

TNP was a big Cheers fan, saw most every episode, etc.

Boy, am I behind the 8ball here. I’ll answer the last post.  
False I’ve removed wallpaper at least once, one of many renovation projects, usually per my wife. Thankfully we now live in a house with no wallpaper.

</div>

False - not really a fan but I probably have seen most episodes. I usually considered it to be inoffensive white noise if there was nothing better available.

TNP is not a fan of any type of professional or collegiate sporting event.

False.

I like college football and baseball. I have more fun, though, when I don’t care about either team.

TNP actually eats the Brazil Nuts in the mix.

Of course I do! I eat 'em all except the almonds. And that’s just 'cause my dentures can’t handle 'em.
