I've gotten myself into a facebook exchange that I don't understand completely and thought some of you might want to help me.

I have one those little Fluff animals on my profile, a dragon called 龙. :-) I've made him say this phrase: '我是一个很凶的龙!' Now one of my friends has given my dragon a little reindeer as a gift and wrote the follwing message: '不要这么凶,我送我的朋友小鹿过来陪你玩!'.

Does it mean something like not enough money, not enough time?

I saw this on someone profile and can't work out what it's supposed to mean.

可惜么钱么时间

I've never seen a 么……么…… construction like that before.

这么 can mean 'so much or this much' and 过来 means to 'manage or take care of'.

It's a brutal world, folks: 龙把小鹿玩得吃没了。

Thanks guys! I got thrown off by the missing subject and 这么 in the first sentence and the 过 in the second. Is it 过来 or two separate words?

Don't be so mean, I sent my friend "little deer" over to play with you.

"Don't be so fierce. I give to you, my friend, a little deer to play with."

Or something like that I think.
