"No, Sparky won't be able to die. He's in heaven, you silly-billy. You can't die in Heaven. Even if Sparky asks another dog whom he trusts to tear his throat open, or deliberately twists his neck between the bars on the pearly gates, or chokes down some sticks in an attempt to puncture his aching tummy, he still won't be able to die. Sparky will just keep on living forever, wondering why you aren't feeding him. That's how Heaven is."

Thank you, Onion.

"get it"? I donno... is it a reference to something specific? I thought it was just an hilarious parody of that stereotypical childhood situation.

Yes, it is.

(umm... this is awkward) It's also a rather obscure reference to some common themes in my writing. Mostly for Adam, Izzy, Marsha et al.
