Attacking Hamsters WBAGNFAmetalB.
Posted by: Eleanor | March 19, 2006 at 06:20 PM
I agree, and no, I didn't read the article. Yet.
Posted by: southerngirl | March 19, 2006 at 06:20 PM
dang, El, I thought I had a "fitdy" there.
But if I have to share, I'm really glad it's with you. :)
Posted by: southerngirl | March 19, 2006 at 06:21 PM
YAY!!! Dave woke up!
YAY! Another Sunday FIRST for me!!!!
*gets out hymnal and starts singing We Are Saved.
Posted by: Eleanor | March 19, 2006 at 06:21 PM
Well, I've read it, and I vote for "Hamsters on Steroids", just because it would look so cool on a marquee.
Posted by: Betsy | March 19, 2006 at 06:22 PM
I'm happy to share s'girl, but...I did read the article FIRST.
Oh, OK, I read enough to make an on-topic FIRST comment. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | March 19, 2006 at 06:22 PM
You know what this means, don't ya?
*sigh*
Senate hearings on steroid abuse amongst hamsters.
And now all of their homerun records are in doubt.
Posted by: slyeyes | March 19, 2006 at 06:23 PM
That's twice now, El.
*winks*
Posted by: southerngirl | March 19, 2006 at 06:24 PM
An important fact to make note of, from the article:
"Typically weeks translates into years from rodent to primate."
sly, do you think that Palmiero will come in and testify on behalf of the hamsters:
Pointing his finger: They didn't use and I didn't either.
Posted by: Eleanor | March 19, 2006 at 06:25 PM
"Hamster 'Roid Rage"
I was sure this referred to hemrhoids. (however that's spelled)
Posted by: daisymae | March 19, 2006 at 06:26 PM
*snork* @ sly!
Posted by: Betsy | March 19, 2006 at 06:30 PM
Yeah, Daisy; me too. I was wondering how they'd get the Preparation H on their furry little bottoms.
Posted by: Betsy | March 19, 2006 at 06:31 PM
Is this why my Flonase makes me cranky?
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | March 19, 2006 at 06:34 PM
Sounds like scientists are doing some quality reading.

Nevermind.

(n, just sayin', Dave... rubbin' roid cream on a hamster-butt does not compare with judie's package builder post:)*
*please to notice the smile --> :)
Posted by: not sayin' | March 19, 2006 at 06:48 PM
I agree. However, if you use aloe vera, It pretty well beats any pastime beside beer. What?
Posted by: Adonis | March 19, 2006 at 06:53 PM
insert your own witticism here: :I'm presently out of them.
Posted by: MoFaux | March 19, 2006 at 06:54 PM
They need CHILL-edrin™, now available in easy-for-hamsters-to-open packaging.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 19, 2006 at 06:59 PM
They also make it in liquid form that comes in a plastic bottle with a metal straw. You know, easy for hampsters to self-medicate with.
Posted by: Adonis | March 19, 2006 at 07:00 PM
Announcement: Posse MAYDAY on the "package builder" thread.
Posted by: Eleanor | March 19, 2006 at 07:03 PM
Hamster 'roid rage? Freaky thought. My dad swears to this day that my hamster growled at him when he tried to catch it after it escaped from its cage (for about the 4,179th time). I can only imagine what might have happened if it had been on steroids!
Posted by: Renee | March 19, 2006 at 07:07 PM
When hamsters take steroids they get aggressive, when athletes take them they hit more home runs and when muscle-bound actors take them, they become governors.
ps: steroid-fed hamsters would make terrible hamstertachen. I'm just sayin'.
Posted by: Lairbo | March 19, 2006 at 07:26 PM
Yeah Lairbo, but the testers would never be able to find 'em in your system.
Posted by: Adonis | March 19, 2006 at 07:28 PM
Whut would steroids do to the behavior pattern of a Tasmanian Devil? A gerbil?
Merely wonderin' ...
Posted by: O. the U(manity) | March 19, 2006 at 07:42 PM
It appears this thread is on steroids,
seems a bit beefier than normal
Posted by: bulldog | March 19, 2006 at 07:46 PM
Announcement:
The posse MAYDAY alert is over.
Resume normal behavior.
Thank you.
Posted by: Eleanor | March 19, 2006 at 07:53 PM
I, too, thought from the headline of this article that hamsters were suffering from hemorrhoids so debilitating they were sent into a rage. I immediately began to search my brain for what ingredients might be available in the Stupendous Man Home Chemistry Lab and Pregnancy Test Kit to quickly whip up some Hamster Hemorrhoid Suppositories - in both regular and menthol - to make a fast buck from the quick-hitting disorder. Then I read the article.
Posted by: Stupendous Man | March 19, 2006 at 08:08 PM
That reminds me of one of my favorite jokes:
"Doctor, this pill is too big to swallow!"
"Good news! It's a suppository!"
Posted by: Adonis | March 19, 2006 at 08:16 PM
*snork* @ stupedous man
Posted by: daisymae | March 19, 2006 at 08:22 PM
Maaan, my fingers can't spell worth a d*mn!
stupendous, not whatever else I typed.
Posted by: daisymae | March 19, 2006 at 08:23 PM
Aiight. Who left their html dangling? Sheesh. Now I must go back and find something. I think someone left me a carmel covered bumble someplace.
*waves* Hiya El from down a few steps.
Posted by: wolfie | March 19, 2006 at 08:24 PM
Sorry wolfie. *ziiiiiiiiip*
Posted by: Adonis | March 19, 2006 at 08:39 PM
That better not have been El's zip or you're in such trouble.
*slinks into the shadows to watch just in case*
Posted by: wolfie | March 19, 2006 at 08:45 PM
NO! I do NOT need any more trouble from El. That was my html zipper. Sorry for the confusion.
Posted by: Adonis | March 19, 2006 at 08:48 PM
Hey, wolfie!!
(waving)
Posted by: daisymae | March 19, 2006 at 09:16 PM
Hi daisymae! *waves back*
Posted by: wolfie | March 19, 2006 at 09:18 PM
Hi daisymae and wolfie!
*waves both hands and looks like an idiot*

*waves at Adonis* with one hand and *pops a caramel into mouth* with the other.
Yum. Thanks. But ya know, you shouldn't be inna wolf suit if you're tryin to avoid a wolfie.
*stalks thru the shadows*
Posted by: wolfie | March 19, 2006 at 10:01 PM

Posted by: daisymae | March 19, 2006 at 10:12 PM
Barring accidentally being shot in the thigh, I should be.

If you put a hamster on steroids....
Sounds like the sequel to this.
Posted by: kj | March 19, 2006 at 10:49 PM
sly, 6:23 was a major snork. I could say out of the park, but then you'd have to pee in a cup.

In Arkansas, Dave, we have the Beebee Badgers.
Posted by: John | March 19, 2006 at 11:11 PM
I'm guessing the Badgers' drug of choice is something else, considering that Beebe is located in White County - the meth capitol of the state.
Posted by: atypicalwife | March 19, 2006 at 11:37 PM
Yeah, maybe the badger's drug of choice is verbal abuse! Get it? "Badger"? Nevermind.
Good to see you again atypicalwife!

Have you seen our nuclear-powered thread? Nearing 800 baby!

Come on Adonis. I'm going to bed. Get back over there...there's work to be done.
Posted by: daisymae | March 19, 2006 at 11:56 PM
Is this thing on?

"Furry Little Bottoms" also WBAGNFARB!
Posted by: Ivory Bill Woodpecker | March 20, 2006 at 12:30 AM
Thanks, Adonis!
*snork* at the pun and the truth of your comment
(my verbally abusive ex lives in Beebe "Home of the Badgers" Arkansas)
Posted by: atypicalwife | March 20, 2006 at 12:38 AM
Haven't had time to read it all, but got to Flonase making somebody cranky.
I always thought that went in your NOSE!
Back up to catch up.
Posted by: Hanna | March 20, 2006 at 12:38 AM
Have you heard about the day the preacher came to dinner and left in a huff? Husband was on strict orders not to say anything inappropriate, but when wife came back from the kitchen with coffee, preacher and his wife were out the door and getting in their car.
Husband explained, "While you were out, a mouse ran across the floor."
Preacher's wife said not to be embarrassed, because they had mice, too. But, they stuffed their little holes with cotton, and that was the end of mice at their house.
Wife, "So why are they leaving? What did you say to them?"
Husband says, "Well, I just asked her who they got to hold their little legs."
Posted by: Hanna | March 20, 2006 at 12:47 AM
signs your hamster is on steroids:
10. he's made the guinea pig his 'bitch'
9. his testicles no longer even hamster-sized
8. always wants to go with you to the gym
7. receding furline
6. wind from little wheel going around drops room temperature 10 degrees
5. spends all day in front of mirror, flexing cheek muscles
4. squeeks an octave lower
3. lots of tiny little hypodermics buried under the wood chips
2. offers to move your stuff without a truck (sorry, this is a sign 'your teamster is on steroids')
and
1. pries apart bars of his cage... with his tail!

*snorks* at insom who at one in the morning is living up to his name.
I guess this would be a good place to plug my new book If You Give Minnie Mouse a Studmuffin...
Then again, maybe not.
Posted by: Stupendous Man | March 20, 2006 at 01:22 AM
Hamster Hemorrhoid Suppositories. reminds of a thread with the headline...
When my cat sits on the kitchen counter, is its bunghole touching the counter or is there some kind of furry thing keeping it off?
then submitter said...
My wife, being the scientific type, has suggested that I put lipstick on the cat's ass to verify if contact is being made. I'm intrigued by the idea, but not quite ready to make the leap.

Posted by: Betsy | March 20, 2006 at 04:24 AM
Have you heard about the day the preacher came to dinner and left in a huff?
My dad was a preacher, but served a church in an economically depressed area. On his salary at the time, he couldn't afford a Huff, so he drove a Snit.
Posted by: slyeyes | March 20, 2006 at 07:10 AM
Actually, I kind of like the "Brains of Young Adults Not Fully Mature" story tease better!
Posted by: Ramona | March 20, 2006 at 07:49 AM
leave your cat alone.
but i did think that 'roid meant hemmor-roid, and i couldnt figure who would check hamsters for that.
Posted by: queensbee | March 20, 2006 at 09:26 AM
sly'
I know whut you mean ... I'm perty sure the Huff is a bit pricey for some budgets ... it's more in the upscale SUV category ... merely sayin' ...
(I know this 'cuz I hadda do a dissertation on the subject once ... wish I could find it ... I think it's on a disk from my first Mac's pre-crash days ...)
