[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I never seem forget the names of people's pets even when I draw a total blank on the name of the owner.
Is that just because pet names tend to be wacky? Like, would you remember a cat's name if if was John or somesuch?

Sorry, all out of ammo.

Is this the Hell people?

Yes. This is the Hell people.

Buying a car should not be this difficult!

Yes, no, maybe? I suspect the wackiness helps, but there's probably an element of how I'm more shy around people and will interact with their pets as an indirect method of interacting with them -- "Your beagle is named Darwin? Oh, Darwin . . . what a sweet puppy you are!" instead of, "Your beagle is named Darwin? That's cute! Did you come up with that name yourself, Barbara?"

You could say, "Your name is Barbara? Oh, Barbara, what a sweet human you are! Do you like belly-rubs? Here, have a human treat!"

I'm certain that if I do that, tommyrot, everyone in the new neighborhood would remember my name.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I don't know the details, but I'd hate to think that any kind of real friendship would be ended by something like that. OTOH, getting in to a bad deal through a friend can certainly have that effect.
