I guess so. I mean we don’t go bowling together, but he’s an okay guy. TNP believes that one day the power and wisdom of the political center will be rediscovered. ---

Seems like we go through that every other election cycle or so, so yes. TNP is amazed Jefferson Sessions stuck around as long as he did. ---

False or not so much. Sessions fired+Mueller fired = Saturday nite Massacre II. Trump waited till after midterms but the political math hasn’t changed. I think Trump is trying to “game” his next move before the effluvia really hits the rotating blade wind machine if you know what I mean. TNP supports the trends to allow marijuana use in states (the opposite of what Sessions wanted). ---

True, and I voted thusly yesterday. TNP remembers watching The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. ---

Many nights have I watched Johnny, Ed & Doc. Sometimes I was bored, usually I was not. The Next Poster still watches a late night talk show. ---

No. The last time I regularly did was the Letterman show (its first incarnation) back when I was in college. TNP is still a Letterman fan. ---

Absolutely true. I was a fan when his first late night show debuted and I love his current Netflix show. TNP has listened to NPR within the past week. ---
**Author:** ![Cardigan](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/cardigan/32/187_2.png) [@Cardigan](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Cardigan)\ **Post date:** [November 8, 2018, 1:02pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507/1468 "2018-11-08T13:02:55Z")
False. Had you said two weeks, however, I would have agreed. TNP has never once in their life uttered the words “National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations” but has said NASDAQ on dozens of occasions. ---

True. I was like “Huh that’s what that stands for”but economics and the stock market are not my strong suit. TNP likes reading spy novels. ---

Yeah, now and then. My favorite: _Tool of the Trade_ by Joe Haldeman, a Cold War sf spy thriller. Very good stuff. TNP has read at least one book by Joe Haldeman. ---

False, never heard of him. TNP has at least one item in their home (not garage) worth over $15,000. ---

False. TNP knows at least one of these fictional characters actual (still fictional) names: [ul] [li]The Skipper from Gilligan’s Island[/li][li]Cap’n Crunch[/li][li]The patient from the game Operation[/li][/ul] ---

Gotta say false. I thought I knew the Skipper’s real name as _Silas_ Grundy. This is not correct. I had no clue about the others. TNP couldn’t care less about eating any of the turkey on Thanksgiving. There are better, tastier choices out there. ---

Mostly true. A nice turkey sandwich the day after rocks, though. TNP has never been do Disney World or Land. ---

False. Been to each park one time. TNP does not particularly care for rutabaga. ---
**Author:** ![Alpha\_Twit](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/alpha_twit/32/265_2.png) [@Alpha\_Twit](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Alpha_Twit)\ **Post date:** [November 9, 2018, 2:14pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507/1476 "2018-11-09T14:14:10Z")
Rutabaga is quite tasty as part of a roasted root veg medley. Baby, red skinned potatoes, rutabagas, turnip, baby beet, carrot, parsnip, pearl red onions and a few whole garlic cloves - toss with olive oil and a bit of rosemary and thyme. Bake at 400 degrees until done to your liking and enjoy. TNPs mouth is watering right now. ---

False, though I’ve had roasted red skinned potatoes, roasted beets or roasted garlic by themselves; the rest - meh, and my mouth is not watering for rutabaga. TNP likes goat cheese and/or blue cheese. ---

True, very true. TNP has been busted doing something bad or stupid as a youngster by an adult other than their parent. ---

Five days and no posts, guess I’ll do it. True, many many moons ago, foolishly got literally busted by a store detective, for shoplifting. Avoided jail by agreeing to counseling, but just getting caught cured me! TNP has a favorite Thanksgiving Day pie, that is NOT pumpkin, name it. ---

True, pecan. The next player plans on helping with cleaning up after Thanksgiving dinner. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=73) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=75)
