Oh man, I hate that whole thing with feeding pets people food. When I say "No people food" I do not mean "just use your judgement" or "well, as long as YOU think it's okay, then it must be."

No, in fact I mean"no fucking people food. I read somewhere that me beating you over the head with a frying pan won't kill you. so do you want me to just hit you up to 10 times, or none at all?"

When you say about 90 minutes being too close, it reminds me of the family diagram drawn on Everybody Loves Raymond once, when he tried to explain that close may be too close, but further away means "overnight guests".

Word. The number of times I end up saying "No, don't give him any ground beef from your pizza. ...no. ...NO, he-- fuuuuuuu--" while the other person is telling me, "Just this one little piece. It'll be okay. But look at those eyes; how can I say no?" etc etc etc.

Oh EXACTLY!

How do you say no to those eyes? Well, you've already proven that the word "no" is in your vocabulary, so let's just go for context!

Again, I revert to my frying pan example...

SPKLANG!!! "It's just one little hit with the frying pan! How can I say no?" SPKLANG!!!
"But it hurts."
SPKLANG!!! "Only a little bit. I mean, really, this is NOTHING, and unlike people food to a pet that isn't supposed to eat the processed food available to people, not nearly as..." SPKLANG!!! "...dangerous."
