In fact, we encourage it.  Just make sure that while you're being eaten--and after--that you keep talking for the benefit of our viewers; they want to know all of what is going on.  And while we want you to get eaten, we don't want you to get yourself eaten TOO fast.<br/><br/>"Now then, do you have any questions?"
