All Hamster Friday: Broccolis? for moi?

Amazingly, lil’ Kumanoko always appears to have his mouth open in astonishment. Prolly amazed by his own cuteness. Even HE can’t believe himself!

  16. sween says:

    Something in that picture maes me think of a muppet. The head tilt… the open mouth… the hyper-plushness… it’s spooky…

  17. Aubrey says:

    Corn? Now broccoli? It’s a hamster Veg-All!

  18. jaypo says:

    ariel, EC–I feel the air pressure dropping dangerously low here. “He lurks but appeareth not, excepting his darkly presence unfold slowly, like thwarted temper arising.”

    ROFLMAO @ adorababy.

    omg… how can someone get a shot like that??? the odds are like 1/1 thousand… well unless you just kept on shooting every second…

    omg..i want one now..

  23. Norty says:

    Meg, can we have Bun-Mon? puuuh-lees?
    a bunny every monday!!!!

    “Prolly amazed by her own cuteness” I’d have passed out laughing if it weren’t for the cuteness causing me to keep living.

  24. zifnab says:

    for the record, Kuma’s a BOY and I dont think he appreciates his manliness (cute as he is!!) being questioned ;-)

    I <3 those speckled ears!!

  25. ariel says:

    *rolls over, shows belly*
    “i’m good i’m good i’m good” say the eyes.

  26. The Guy Over There says:

    Ah, so we go from the World Domination hamster to the hamster with the Martian leader for its evil twin. I see how this is going, Mel, don’t think I haven’t noticed! Because I haven’t!

  27. sadie_asher says:

    Lookitdalilwiskers!!!!!

    “He lurks but appeareth not, excepting his darkly presence unfold slowly, like thwarted temper arising.”

    Izzat Milton, by any chance?

  29. Mel says:

    She’s scarfin’ broccoleeeheheheheh. She scarfin’ broccoli. Heh.

    That made my whole Friday.

  30. faye says:

    cool! the first picture looks as if shes surprised!!!^-^

  31. Rhea H. says:

    she likes it!!! she likes the green!

  32. Jackie says:

    “Broccoli? Wow, I must’ve been a good girl to deserve this! Look at how green it is!”
    Definitely very cute…it’s even cuter than the hamster on the T-shirts…hint, hint…

  33. jaypo says:

    no, c’est le mostre creatif qui existe dedans… seulement moi.

  34. Jay Fry says:

    1st pic: She’s saying… “Dude, what’s with the broccoli? Where are my bonbons?”

    2nd pic: “Aw, I guess I have to eat dinner before I get dessert.”

  35. Jay Fry says:

    BTW, she sure is schweet and fluffy.

  36. Dustbunny says:

    Cute hammie. Nasty broccoli. (Was it Ogden Nash who came up with “We’re out of broccoli, lockoly”?)

  37. Skwerly says:

    I will say it again for those who don’t/can’t read:

    Kumanoko is a BOY!

    BOY!

    BOY!

    BOY!

    AS IN, NOT A GIRL!

    *gah*

    That being said, HE is vewwy vewwy cute.

  38. mir says:

    I ask again, Does All Hamster Friday have a theme song??? Anyone? anyone?

  39. Jessica says:

    I was just about to say that!!! KUMA IS A MALE! a cute male indeed, but very much not a girl!

  40. Theo says:

    Mir — will this do?

  41. Skwerly says:

    Mir,

    I can think of no better song than “Hampster Dance.”

    You may have a hard time finding the original (which sampled a Disney song), but maybe it’s still out there somewhere.

  42. jaypo says:

    Anyone know the “Hamtaro” theme song?

    “Ham-ta-ro! We are hamsters helping people…” and so on…

  43. jaypo says:
  44. Aubrey says:

    Dustbunny, I found little rhymelets about parsnips and celery, but no broccoli:

  45. ariel says:

  48. Christabean says:

    eeek! The speckled ears! The open mouf! The beady bug-out eyes! Yay!

  49. Mary says:

    That Hamster is making it’s “OH” face!!!

  50. E. Collison says:

    “no, c’est le mostre creatif qui existe dedans… seulement moi.”

    Ah – Juste ton genie! :)

  51. Zelda says:

    I have an old Hamster Dance t-shirt (circa 1996, I think…can that be right?). I LURVE hammies, especially when they dance!

  52. GK says:

    That hamster is making it’s “oh” face!

  53. jaypo says:

    EC–merci, mon amie poetique!

  54. Christabean says:

    hahaha, reading the Flikr site I see that he(!) has eye and tooth conditions that make him eeeextwa cute. Hooray for ultra-cuteness wonky “specialness.”

  55. E. Collison says:

    Every single Hamtaro song you could ever think of is here:

  56. E. Collison says:

    jaypo – Lache pas la patate! :)

  57. jaypo says:

    YIPEEE! Thanks, EC!

  58. Laurie says:

    Go out for a couple of hours and look how much I miss. Speaking of hamster songs, I think this little dude looks like he’s singing for his supper in the first pic. Guess he did a good job, because he got it in the second.

  59. Theo says:

    JP, EC — Je me rappellerai également de fermer mon harrassment de rotation de trompette de coude de callitriche de pâte de pomme de terre rapidement. Navet! Fesses!

  60. Annie Poonanny says:

    God damn that’s a cute hamster.

  61. Skwerly says:

    Theo, jaypo, Collison…

    Lo siento mucho- no hablo francés. ¿Qué han dicho ustedes?

  62. Jay Fry says:

    OK, it’s a boy (pass the cigars…)! Sorry for the mixup.

  63. Courtney says:

    E. Collison, thank you for the link! These songs are cute (but not as cute as the hammies!)

  64. Hammy says:

    Is that for moi? I have been waiting for you to give some to me! *Cries*, Ahh, and tears make such sweet sauce.

    LOL!!!!!!!!!

  65. kikileo says:

    Actually this appears to be a hamster in gender transition (halfway through the paragraph). squee!

  66. Hammy says:

    “Amazingly, lil’ Kumanoko always appears to have his mouth open in astonishment. Prolly amazed by his own cuteness. Even HE can’t believe himself!

    Snorting brocca-leh! She’s snorting! UHN [Say in Dana Carvey voice]“

    OK, he, or she? Hmmmmmm, me thinks its a he.

  67. E. Collison says:
  68. E. Collison says:

    I think his mouth is open so much because of the problem with his teeth – poor sweet guy.

  69. Hammy says:

    That hammy has a tooth problem, ohhhh, sad, they should do somethin’ about that.

  70. Becca says:

    I think that first picture instantly gave me diabetes.

  71. Hammy says:

    Wow, where is everybody????

  72. Ryan says:

    he probably doesn’t have teeth.
    but at least his owner is taking good care of him in spite of it.

  73. Caitlin says:

    awww! the individual broccoli florets crack me up.

    we used to save veggie bits when I had hammies, but never the individual florets :)

  74. weak…from…cuteness.

  75. Renee says:

    At first I was like “OK another cute hamster” Then I was like “AWWW it looks suprised!” Then I saw the broccoli and the speckled ears and put the whole picture together and *AIEEEE!* What a find!

  76. aleks says:

    AWWW OMG. OMG I’M IN LOVE. SRSLY. <3

  77. Karl says:

    I loved the contrast between Lili, the two-fisted, corn-kernel eatin’, street-fightin, don’t-mess-with-me hamster-gal, and Kumanoko, the pampered powder-puff who has his broccoli presented to him on a spoon who gets all squealy and goes “Ooh! For ME?” when he sees it.

  78. arwo (aka Barry Manilow) says:

    Oh Zuma
    You came and you ate all the brocc-li
    After your mouth was opened in shock-ly…

  79. Tweedle Dee says:

    How about this for a theme song?

  80. Tweedle Dee says:

    Oh, Harvey, Harvey
    Harvey the Wonder Hamster
    He doesn’t bite and he doesn’t squeal
    He just runs around on his hamster wheel
    Harvey, Harvey
    Harvey the Wonder Hamster
    Hey, Harvey!

  81. Christine says:

    I want Bun-Mon!

  82. Jordan Hamilton says:

    Every time I see a picture of Hammy, his mouth is open like that. Does he have something wrong? Or, maybe I missed the story on this a long time ago… Well, yeah, he’s cute!

  83. ahphooey says:

    Love his face in the first pic! I’ve never seen anyone this excited over broccoli.

  84. tarry says:

    sorry mum i know you said not to give the hamster my nourishing vegetables. disgusting but norishing. I wont let you see me doing it again.*sniggers as mum walks away* that doesnt mean i wont do it again i just wont let you see me doing it. i wont be braking my promise cause i didnt promise to stop.
