Haha, no you're right that is not the appropriate reaction at all... although he is kind of funny when you get past the whole psychotic/creepy/ewie part, especially after seeing him parodied (well, I would assume... I've never seen Joe Dirt or anything but it's kinda hard to take him seriously anyways). That is a really good rule to live by. Strangers + cars + nighttime = hell to the no. 

Haha, aw! That's so cute!! my cat, Midnight, he's super skittish and he only cuddles some of the time. The other one, her name is Mittens, she will literally climb all over my computer and hop on my lap trying to get attention. It's super cute/somewhat annoying when I'm trying to do something and she doesn't go away. I have a dog too, his name is Koda we named him after the movie Brother Bear XD, and he is really weird. He's bigger and not aloud on the furniture so it's hard to cuddle with him but he'll get into these moods where he's super cute and he'll like nuzzle your hands and try and get you to pat him and it's adorable! Haha, anyways long story short pets are great. 

Hehe, I understand. 

Yes, that is a big must! Haha, start with Psycho, the old version and then watch the new(ish) version. They really aren't scary at all!
