Normal food ape appears to be absent. I am currently being interviewed for the position, temporarily.
@garius are edible? You look edible....
@garius "Here is deal. I stay near you and be soft, you give food. When real human comes back we never speak of this again"
@garius Cat: you there! Opposable thumbs! This is not up to my usual standard of service, to whom do I complain?"
@garius
Relax! Although the technical jargon term "food ape" might seem to imply the ape will be eaten, this is rarely the case. Typically, the food ape provides food other than their own flesh.
