petting

Put the health food by the petting zoo and the junk food by the roller coaster.

I was young, around 4 or 23, and at a petting zoo. I used to love watching Tots TV, which had

Just don't be a jackass and butcher a Bambi in a petting zoo.

Kind of like an online petting zoo... There's a lot of potential there.

I like digital ocean but they won't get better by petting them.

They'll probably think of a petting zoo when they read "petabyte".

I can't help but think of the two-way petting zoo scene from the Office. Now I'm scared EndDash is going to try to bind with me...

I could be living in a palace petting a phoenix by now. If I didn't like this guy before...

Slot machine and roulette tables are being replaced by imaginary farms and petting zoos.

At a startup meet, I'd be more specific: "I'm developing an online petting zoo". The key is to listen for prompts before you go deeper.

It would be like going to a shark-petting zoo where you are required to cover yourself in blood before entering. That being said, I'll share two stories incase they help anyone...

Frankly, you're not murdering any kittens, but you're not exactly petting them either.

If you are having a town fete and want parents with small children to know you have a petting zoo, Facebook ads will get you customers physically driving to you for cents. Incredible value.

To your analogy, it's more like selling a horse to the petting zoo for kiddie rides because it no longer has enough stamina for long hard rides in the mountains. It's a good deal for the seller, the buyer, and the horse.

At that juncture I would repair to a high mountain top, away from the start-up client, one hand lazily petting the head of my fearsome trained wolf, as I mused to myself on the adjectives I had just collected. What colors would they inspire?

Five minutes petting my dog is vastly more psychologically relaxing than a walk to the water cooler or an office game of foosball.

I own a rabbit and most of the time he doesn't like petting and will run if you want to catch him, but if you leave the room he will follow you and go to sleep in a hard to reach corner.

Snowden has said that if his goal was to do business with foreign intelligence, he could be "living in a palace petting a phoenix." If he really believed that his leverage as a defector was strong, then he's hopelessly naf and who knows what other missteps he's making.

The notion that defectors are lavishly rewarded -- a notion that Snowden encouraged in his comment about palaces and petting a phoenix -- is at odds with the historical record. Consider Kim Philby.

This does feel a bit weird - short-term rental of petting animals? I'm worried about mishandling, animal cruelty and the whole concept - pets form an attachment with you, doing it as a short-term rental isn't an acceptable way of building a relationship...

He could be petting bunnies, while he sings with an angel's voice about how they're protecting the nation and that their spying is really not that bad - and I wouldn't believe him. Obama's promises sounded very compelling and believable, too - until we learned the facts of his actions after he already won his 2nd mandate.

Not to mention things like whether your mice are waking up to natural light or an artificial light being turned on, how much ability they have to exercise, whether you are petting them each day, how much you're feeding them and how nutritious the food you're giving them is, etc. Cultural experiences was probably the wrong term, but basically what's happening is that large portions of the protocol, which are apparently essential to obtaining the results, can't actually be written about in the paper, meaning the results can't actually be reproduced.
