Game: The Next Person... (true or false)

[The Magic Pudding..]

It it was free I probably would, it's not an ideal holiday option for me.
False

News reports this morning describe how shocked doctors removed a live worm from a woman's brain in a Canberra hospital last year.

The woman had previously been admitted to hospital with stomach symptoms, dry cough and night sweats and months later experienced depression and forgetfulness that led to a brain scan.

In the case study published in Emerging Infectious Diseases journal, doctors describe removing the live 8cm-long nematode (roundworm) from the brain of the 64-year-old woman who was immunosuppressed. The worm was identified as O. robertsi, which is native to Australia and lives on carpet pythons. The woman may have come into contact with worm eggs via snake faeces while foraging for Warrigal greens to eat.

After reading that, the nxt now thinks they may have a snake poo worm in their brain.

[Dark Lightning]

False. I'm off to scrub that cucumber, now.

TNP scrubs their cucumber, too.

[Asmodean]

Well... That is to say... Yes, but just the one. That's what it's for, after all. 

The next person too was reminded by all this cucumberness of this here epic... Disaster? Comedy? Mesmerizing train wreck?

[The Magic Pudding..]

False, wasn't aware of that, is it really real?

The Nxt is going to bid for Freddie's white cat suit 'cause they think they'd look good in it.

[Asmodean]

Yeah, that interview reached Cosmic-tier meme status in late-teens-ish, but it's real. It's from a 2012 Ugandan show.


False. The Asmo bought His Divine Self a new set of divine wheels, so He's... Well, divinely broke, for starters.

The next person has never bought anything at an auction?

[Tank]

True. Or if I have I can't remember. I did get sold at one once. When I was about 5 we went to a cattle and livestock auction in Monmouth in Wales. Me, being me, wandered off and through curiosity and no fault of my own ended up next to the auctioneer. Who promptly lifted me up onto his podium and offered me for sale. Fortunately my dad bought me. Everybody laughed as my dad collected me. He smiled but was not best pleased  

When I was a kid if there was 'trouble' I was usually to be found in the middle of it. Nothing much has changed.

TNP has bought something at an auction only to find later they had been suckered?

[Icarus]

True. I have been hoodwinked by buying something at an auction. I have also bought an item or two at auction that were much more valuable than the price I paid. One piece of artwork came in an ornate frame with a filthy glass cover.  I bought the frame for 50 cents. When I brought it home, I discovered that the frame was rotten and worthless. Surprise! The artwork was in good condition and turned out to have some value, maybe $250 or more. I bought that item for the wrong reason.

TNP has never made salsa with Tomatillos.

[Dark Lightning]

True. In fact, I've never made salsa.

TNP enjoys eating tomatoes. (no this has no sexual connotations, to my knowledge)

[billy rubin]

false

tomatos are abominable fruits of the nightshade family, and have no place in my diet. they are disgusting things of red wet slime. i throw them out the car window if i discover them in my food

tomatillos are okay tho. when my number one son was a toddler, he would wander through the garden and pick off and eat every tomatillo we had. didnt waste any, but nobody else got to eat em

TNP doesnt get up for earthquakes anymore

[Dark Lightning]

True. The last time I got out of bed for a quake was Jan 17, 1994.

TNP knows what WTF means.

[The Magic Pudding..]

Of course, do you think us naive?

The Nxt never got into any of the various forms of skating or skiing

[Asmodean]

True enough for government work.

I did it at school and if pressured into it by friends or family, who tried to convince me that their idea of a good time was also my idea of a good time. They failed and grudges are being nursed.

The next person has at some point worked for The Government(tm)?

[billy rubin]

hmm

i was once a research associate paid on a government NSF grant to go dig fossils out of silurian reefs in gotland. does that count?

tnp would like to work for the government

[The Magic Pudding..]

False,,, unless I can have the job of fining or jailing all the people
and animals
Ye, and animals that are doing things against laws and regs because no one is on the job.

The np is considering a future as grey nomad

[Asmodean]

Nah. Oz is prolly expensive. If I did go nomad, it would be of a digital variety in a place like Thailand or somewhere else suitably cheap, where an Western salary could make one a person of sizable means.

The next person keeps or has kept "unconventional" pets?
