See what happens when I make a blanket statement? I get my foot in my mouth.

It goes back to this not being a good medium for full expression. Short story... I went to pick up a mouse for Bhodi and there was a young man (early 20s) and his girlfriend looking at a Red Tail that the store had. He insisted that they get the snake and was telling her how cool it would be to have a snake. She wanted to do some research to see how big they got, care, feeding etc. The guy at the pet store was just looking to make a sale and was down playing how much room they'd need and how big they really can get. He had no idea what he was about to get himself into. He just thought it would be "cool" to have a snake. Luckily his girlfriend won out and he agreed to research snakes before buying one. Had the GF not been there he'd have been one of those "coolness factor" people I was talking about.
