How do you "mark up" hamsters? Don't they cost, like, $3.00????

[Gadfly]

Does my car have a "boot"

[Guin]

Geez, how many hamsters could you buy for $20,000, anyway? Wouldn't the owners notice that they'd only received 10 hamsters instead of 6 or 7 thousand?

[Suzy Q]

With a Sharpie, Punkin.

[Punkin Poo]

Hamsters are eating cars, giant bunnies are fighting snakes, scorpions are attacking airline passengers....*sigh*

Anyone seen Richard Gere lately?

[casey]

Why yes, I do know where my hamster is. I threw his rotting carcass behind the barn.

He was an evil little bastard. We called him Killer. Every time someone would enter the room in which he lived, he would rush the cage, trying to get at the person to bite them. I hated that nasty little critter.

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

Oh. Hampsters.
Not gerbils.
Nevermind.

*relaxes butt cheeks

[Hammond Rye]

I brand mine with a big H. It makes it easy to find them when they mix with the neighbor's herd.

[Chaz]

it was supposed to read Marget, Chip and Dale

[Gadfly]

I think Richard Gere is a gerbil type of guy

[Siouxie]

butt puckering up a bit, Chris??

Snork at DPC.

EWWWWWWW

[Val]

When did hamsters start living in boots?

[Siouxie]

Gadfly, I hear he's trying to cut down on his meat intake...or it is uptake??

[lance]

The mechanic found a hampster in the engine...Isn't that what the new Hybrid cars have?

[Annie Where-but-here]

Mr Gere was recently detained trying to smuggle giant hamsters into Tibet. He had hidden them up his um, Himalayas, but his scheme was discovered when he started yipping and jumping about at the airport. Mr Gere's only comment was that he regretted not "trimming the little b@stards' toenails first."

[Clean Hands]

Er, what does a garden center want with a reliable supply of hamsters and rabbits, anyway? Don't most gardners strive to keep rodents out of their garden?

[Clean Hands]

*SNORK* @ AWbh. And ewwwwwwww...

[TexasLUVer]

And my question is...where in the heck did she get 6000 lbs in 28 days? Does she have a second job as a mechanic?

And why does she need two more years to pay back the rest?
At her rate, she should have that money in just...let's see...ummm....er...carry the one.....
well, she should have it pretty quick.

[Rachel R]

Now I know where mine is!

Sorry, but I'm linky illiterate.

[Richard Gere]

I did not have sexual relations with that gerbil!!!!

We were just friends and any relationship we had was purely professional.

That being said, if anyone sees Fuzzy Wuzzy, tell her to call me.

No, really. I can't find her number.....

*snork* @ Himalyas.

Meanwhile, an interesting photo sent to me by an office-mate from OSU.

[pepe]

squirrels must have the most persuasive speakers around... they've convinced other species to fight in their war against humanity, one rodent at a time.

[wickedwitch]

thanks, CJ. i sent that one to all of the OSU fans at our company. i'm sure they will be just delighted with it.

[Annie Where-but-here]

unless they're not really hamsters, but rather cross-dressing, trans-gender terrorist squirrels, which of course WBAGNFARB, if it weren't so dang long.

[MOTW]

He said the family were relieved to get their pet back in one piece, but shocked at the cost of the car repairs which were more than £1,000.

"Cough it up, ya flea-bitten varmint!"

[MOTW]

Thanks, CJ, I sent that to a rabid OU co-worker.

[Siouxie]

speaking of??anyone seen mud??

[queensbee]

must notify homeland security!! these creatures can hide anywhere!! accck. they will nuke us all.

A Russian hamster discovered dodging through traffic in England??? Shouldn't someone be testing it for polonium contamination?

[Bones]

So, maybe it's not a hamster, but I still feel that I should mention this story

[Chaz]

holy child support, Batman!

[Siouxie]

what horny little bastid!

[Rachel R]

Thanks, CH! Can you do it again? http://www.primetimeinteractive.com/human_sphere.html

[wickedwitch]

sounds like my ex-husband, may he rest in piece.

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

This is the sort of problem that enforced celibacy causes.

[wickedwitch]

DPC - sounds like you have given this matter great thought.

[ubetcha]

Sooty acts more like a rabbit than a Guinea pig if you as me.

[Greyseus]

Go Sooty!!!

[Edgar Greenberg]

All I can say is those hamsters owe big time for that stupid hamster dance. Wait until I get my hands on those responsible. They'll pay! They'll all pay!

[Jonk]

Funny, funny stuff!

[crossgirl]

how come hamsters never make the u.s. news?

[crossgirl]

and yes, as a matter of fact i do know where my hamster is. sleeping in his cage IN THE HOUSE where he belongs. i go by and shake it every day to see if he's still alive. sadly, he always is.

[Charlotte]

Crossgirl, one day, you will shake that cage,and he won't wake up. Happened to me. We left the heater on and we baked ours. Deader than a doornail. Then we had to explain to our then two year old daughter where her hamster was at.
I hated that hamster.

[CJrun]

Be patient CG. I sent the Blog a US hamster link for an update. Because I really should be working, but that word 'should' gets all uppity, some times.

[KDF]

While serving her time, perhaps Ms. Chippendale could enhance her productivity here.

[Clean Hands]

Sorry for the delay, Rachel: link the second.

[crossgirl]

*tapping feet waiting for cj's american hamster update.*

charlotte, the first one, who we liked, died at the paws of our dog. my mom felt the need to replace it with this other one who no one even bothered to name. what kind of heater was that you were using?

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

An Amana Radar Range™ would make keep the critter nice and toasty.

[mm]

Am I the only one who noticed this link
on the hamster story?

[Charlotte]

CG: It was a regular house heater, but he lived in our bedroom, upstairs in a town house apartment. It stayed cool downstairs, probably because someone left a window open. Our bedroom door was closed and boy, was it hot in there. I felt guilty at the time...kinda.

[Julia Child]

Today we have a special dish for you: Baked Hampster a la Charlotte.

[crossgirl]

tastes like chicken!

[CJrun]

*tosses laundry in the hampster*

[sthnbelle]

Charlotte, I had the opposite poroblem, with the same result. Our hampster was kept in a cage on my son's desk by a window. Bst I can figure is there was a bit of a draft and he caught the sniffles. Explaining to a 5 year old that the hampster is not in any state to receive treats was NO FUN.

No more pets for us for a while.

[crossgirl]

*snork*

[sthnbelle]

please subtract extra "o" from above post.

And add an "e".

And,hell, take out the p's from hamster.

I need a drink.

[Charlotte]

sthnbelle, We switched to rats when she was about 7 years old. At least rats are larger and easier to care for. Of course, when the rat dies and you come home to your 9 year old daughter cradling a dead rat in her arms, it's pretty traumatic. Trying to pry a dead rat from a grieving child. I don't know if that's funny or creepy.
Now we stick with dogs and cats. The snake is my hubby's pet.

[sthnbelle]

He currently wants a ferret. Not going there.

I'm sticking with fish - since you can't cuddle them, it's not quite as traumatic when they die.

Although he did get pretty upset when his dumb betta kicked the bucket, too.

I can't win. Anybody got any mojitos?

[mm]

Ok- if we are discussing traumatic pet deaths, this is not my story, but my co-workers. As a little girl she had a parakeet that she named "Grandpa." On day in an accident, she killed the bird. Imagine her father's consternation when she called him at work in tears to announce "Grandpa's dead!" And worse, "I killed him!"

[sthnbelle]

LOL, mm. The details of the hamster's burial are better than the death story. The short story is that I'm a terrible person for lying to my child.

[Clean Hands]

sthnbelle, you do know that hamsters will clog an ordinary low-flow toilet?

[Cookie]

*zips in*

I'm very upset at all the Richard Gere slurs. He has told me personally on many occasions when we were at the pet store looking at - small ha - parakeets that the story was totally false.
I'm ashamed of Siouxie and Annie and anyone else who bought into this terrible rumor.

[sthnbelle]

It's not quite THAT bad, CH, but pretty close.

[Siouxie]

Cookie, my apologies to you and Mr. Gere. How insensitive of me to suggest he practices this deviant behavior. He is MUCH too busy now between filming the sequel, "An Officer and a Gerbil" and being so deeply intergrated within his Buddhist faith.
