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.
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.
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.
