Absolutely. Had one of each for several years. TNP can name the 5th president of the U.S. without looking it up. ---

True, up until recently, had a dog and 3 cats. Now one cat and my son has my dog till I’m done with current medical treatment. TNP is undergoing medical treatment, either multiple IV rx, or, new daily pills/medicines; new in the last 6 months. ---

Man I keep doing that. Answering 5th President. True. James Monroe. TNP can, with looking up, say who was youngest person to become President of U.S. ---

True. JFK. (Not sure, but you didn’t say I had to be right when I said it.) TNP will affirm or correct my post about JFK. ---

True, you’re wrong. It was Theodore Roosevelt, who ascended upon McKinley’s assassination. The Next Person would have voted for Theodore Roosevelt for president over Donald or Hillary. ---

True enough but I would have voted for a bushel of rotting turnips before those two. TNP can name at least one person from their _own political party_ they wish would just shut their mouth and go away. ---

Prof Pepperwinkle is correct, answer was Teddy Roosevelt. Truly, I can name Chris Cuomo who I assume is a Democrat since he’s Andrew Cuomo’s brother. When I see him on CNN, he grates on me horribly. I’d rather hear amplified scraping of fingers on a chalkboard than hear his voice. TNP has received new medical rx, either IV meds or a new daily pill med, in the last 6 months. ---

False, but I have plenty enough as it is. TNP knows where the phrase “_I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused_” comes from. ---

True. Elvis Costello, from “(Angels Wanna Wear my) Red Shoes”. TNP knows Elvis Costello’s real name. ---

False. I’ve probably heard/read it before, but I’d have to google it now. TNP dislikes gin and tonics ---

False, I really really love gin and tonic. TNP is fond of dark/bock beer. ---

Truer words were never spoken. TNP eats hot dogs no more than twice annually. ---

False - I eat them at least twice monthly. TNP thoroughly enjoys heavily spiced food that most people would consider too pungent for pleasing consumption. ---

True. Guilty as charged. TNP has spent more than a week in a hospital room. ---

True, but it was Madame Pepperwinkle’s room when she had a tumor removed. They had a cot brought in for me. The Next Poster plays chess fairly well. ---

False. I’ve played occasional chess games over the years, but so few, that I’m still a rank beginner. TNP has played bridge more than once. ---

False. Never played. The next poster has played Euchre. ---

True, and am freaking good at it. The Next Poster prefers Pathfinder to D&D. ---

Never played Pathfinder, and I played D&D a lot in my teens, so false. TNP, like me, wishes someone had posted a Wiki link to show Elvis Costello’s real name: [Elvis Costello - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Costello) ---

False, I knew it. I also know Muddy Waters’ real name, but TNP does not. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=63) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=65)
