1. I think most people in this economy understand that any excess money...
...needs to be used for paying bills, so I picked the first choice.

2. Assuming the money's there.
I mean, money's tight, but not that tight.

4. No, I just bought flvegan an Italian exotic.
:P

Just kidding. I got him something small that he'll like. And if he bitches about me spending money on him, I'll buy him something bigger for Christmas (see, I know how to get him to behave.)

5. Pork Rinds.
The gift that keeps on giving. Nothing says "I Love You" like pork rinds.

6. Nothing says "I love you flvegan!" like dried bits of dead pig?
I can't even say "he can give them to the dogs" since his dogs are vegan.

7. You don't know what you're missing until you try them as a gift.
Kidding, I enjoy "food as humor"...if pork rinds can qualify as food (which is part of the joke). You can't even use them as grout...they are utterly useless, unless you...like pork rinds, or find them funny as a gift ;)

An interesting aside for you and fl: In Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi", he details meeting many interesting spiritual leaders in India. One of them had a pet lioness who only ate yoghurt, IIRC. Pretty neat.
