We're really enjoying the
Pleo manual's list of things you shouldn't do with your Pleo. Officially you should make sure you don't:
- Abuse Pleo
- Get Pleo wet
- Throw, drop, or violently shake Pleo
- Sit on Pleo
- Place Pleo near heat or flames
- Place Pleo in sand, soil, or mud
- Leave Pleo with other pets or animals capable of biting or damaging him
- Risk overheating Pleo by covering him with a blanket during play
- Allow small children to play with Pleo unsupervised
So naturally we had to whip up our own supplemental list. We think you should never, EVER:
- Let Pleo know where you keep the cash
- Taunt happy fun Pleo
- Let Pleo have more than two drinks
- Divulge to Pleo Bush's famous secret family recipe for baked beans
- Pretend that Pleo will love you back
- Feed Pleo after midnight; get it wet
- Attempt to housetrain Pleo by rubbing its nose in own e-xcrement
- Call the cops, man, Pleo just needs a place to crash for the night
- Punch Pleo, especially in the gut -- Pleo knows where you live
- Let Pleo continuously check in and out of rehab
- Remove skin, for this is the stuff of nightmares
- Have Pleo spayed or neutered; Despite Bob Barker's incessant recommendations this will not stop the impending robot revolution
Leave your own below. Fear Pleo.
