[Sung to the tune of 'Copa Cobana' by Barry Manilow]
Her name was Penny, She was a hamstah
She was the-size of a coin, lots of money she purloined
She would m-e-r-i-n-g-u-e, and do the cha-cha,
She had the tiniest of ears, tiny paws and a striped rear,
And then the punches flew, and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

She looks like a little puff of meringue.
Hahaha.. that’s awesome. He’s sooo tiny!!
Great caption, as usual, too.
Aw, such a wittle ball of fluff.
WEENSY, tiny.
I’d be afraid of losing such a wee little hammeister.
[Chorus:]
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh dwarf Hammy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh dwarf Hammy
No freakin’ way!!! SO SWEET I can’t stand it!
ach! gorgeous!
I write the songs that make dwarf hamsters sing.
I write the songs of love and snorgling fuzzy things.
I write the songs that make the baby lesser sugar bats cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.
I made it through the rain
I kept my fur protected
I made it throught the rain
I kept my cheek puffs too
I made it through the rain
And found myself besnorgled
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
aaaaah!
i wuv it!
wuv the song & meringue!
wuv adorababy, on a woll!
It’s a toss-up: Unrelenting ass jokes vs. the all-Manilow comment stream. I don’t know which is more deadly.
i can stop any time i want.
awwww. besnorgled.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I WANT DAT HAMMIE! GIMME!
and by the way my neice has not recovered from everyone saying ‘ass’ all the time; she, I, and all right-thinking mammals agree; towit—>
domestic partner: do you want anything at the store?
me: i want cuddles
domestic partner: no one wants to cuddle you, stinky ass
laurie, that IS a tough one! they are both so deeeelishus!
ha-ha, toss-up! will the hammy land heads or tails?
ariel-
Maybe if you toss her, she’ll just float away on a breeze, like a feather.
she looks like she would— i can’t believe she is so yellow
Chorus
You know I can’t snorg without you
I can’t snorg without you
I can’t zerbert and I can’t smush
I’m finding it hard to move my own tush
You see I feel cute when you’re cute
I feel djamoot when I see your snoot
If you only knew -ehn- what I’m going through -ehn-
I just can’t snorg without you
Awwwwww–she can hardly hold her wee head up!! Anything in cute rules re: head=bodysize?
awwww how is that possible? she is sooo tiny!!! I want to see her face!!! Ency wency lil baby………I am all awwed out.
SOOO rule #14! God help us!
…it looks kind of like when you dig in your pockets for change and you only come up with a penny and some pocket lint. Or are hammies a new form of currency?
i’d take hammy-barter
purloined – hee hee
Cotton puff.
adorababy – you’re killin’ me here!! one more “ehn” and i woulda keeled over.
A-Baby is off da HIZZLE yo.
(Apologies to Mon Schmoop, who *despises* the Ty Pennington style quasi-ebonics, and rightly so.
(And E.C. — don’t let this happen to you, eh?)
Is that a thinly veiled reference to my deeply fatigued hallucinations about the BadA– Teddies, Teo?! If it is, it’s well-deserved!!! So there.
Dryer lint isn’t cute! Oh … wait a minute … (head explodes)
Awwww, I sent this in ages ago.
But I’m glad it at least made it onto the site. I still can’t believe the size of the little guy – and I don’t mean Lincoln.
If hammies were a new form of currency than maybe I would not constantly try to get rid of surplus change.
heres a cute site where u can adopt your own virtual pet, and [if u have your own site] you can put in on there!

If hammies were a new form of currency then WE’D NEVER RUN OUT OF CASH. Talk about your compound interest.
(side note — w00t for the Firefly reference, “Juggle Geese”!)
Schmoop, since that wasn’t put in C.O. glassary *cough*Theo*cough* i have to ask what does schmoop mean?
oh whoa-a-a-a-ao i know that you love me too moog but i definetely cannot ever be forever with out your tiny snorg!
Someday, LDCH, you’ll have a schmoopie of your own.
http://www.squidgrid.com/cute/Glossary.htm#Schmoop
Might want to see to that cough, there.
holy god in heaven — I was * completely * smacked * senseless * with wee tiny hammie preciousness…
aaaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhhh!!!
I would LURVE to *snorgle* the tinyness but I’d be afraid hammie would be snorted right up my nostril!!!
Well, Theo, all I did was mention “merengue” and…
*Very* schweet ’ster.
adorababy, you’re rocking my socks off! there they go. i liked those socks, too.
Can one hemmorage from such cuteness, if so I think I just did!
Now seriously, peeps, why did “Penny” purloin coins?
Enquiring minds and all that…
try (if you can…) to *actually picture* the miniscule teeny weeny “honk-shu” that this precious microscopic hammie is making here…… (eeeek!)
Hahaha! I expected that last part of the song to be related, however I feel it fits in a most awesome way
I’d smash chairs and fire guns for a hammy!
Our Roborowski dwarf hamster Flipper Montoya was sent to hammie heaven today, and I swore that I would NEVER EVER get a new one because of the pain of seeing him suffer and die.
This picture has changed my mind. God, after all, gave us humans hamsters (and cats and dogs and rats and fat ponies and baby goats and…) to ensure us that true happiness always comes at a price.
Love ya, Flipper.
The little guy is so………beyond cute there should be another term for extreme cuteness.-Woods Walker
“God, after all, gave us humans hamsters (and cats and dogs and rats and fat ponies and baby goats and…”
And bunnies and hedgehogs – oh, my! [Hee.]
Oh – and woodchucks.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
- Quite the philosophical conundrum, that.
ebichu,
so sorry for your loss of Flipper. I hope your next hamster brings you as much love.
And Woods Walkers–how much Wood would a Walker walk if a walker could walk woods?
Ebichu, I’m so sorry about your beloved little Flipper passing on. Our animal companions do teach us so many wonderful things. I hope you have hammie happiness in your life again soon!
Holy cannoli, how can one ham-ham be sooooo small?!
Great. After reading the post, Copacabana was stuck in my head and I was forced to download the Essential Barry Manilow collection from iTunes.
Cute wittle hammy, but SHEESH!
That is a very teeny hamster or a very large snowdrop.
Bite sized!! Once you pop, you cant stop! SO CUTE!!

I love the teeny tiny hammies. Keep ‘em coming!
1) ’schmoop’ is, I believe, a term of endearment given by Fffeo to his significant other… I believe I first heard the term on Seinfeld, the ‘Soup Nazi’ episode
2) MC Hammer is not Barry Manilow. This may seem obvious to you, but for some… not so obvious
A-Baby —
1) Yep. Dunno bout soup nazis.
2) [does quick Google] …holy $#!t, you’re right.
theo,
1) If you’re ever in Manhattan, we can take you to the Soup Nazi’s restaurant in the UWS (he’s not there anymore)
2) you are extremely funny & make me laugh every day
3) fictional neice still traumatized from yesterday’s use of the word ‘ass’
This one definitely competes with the dust ball rabbit for furry fluff. o_O
It’s a hamster that could saddle up and ride a hummingbird! EENY TEENY TEE-NINESY WIDDLE FUZZYYEEEEEEhurrrk–Oh man, I need to clean these rainbow chunks off my shirt now…
–TwoDragons
OMG!! *squeak* That is so cute it’s almost unbearable; it’s just so tiny!! I love it!
Imagine having to focus your lens on that? Still looks fuzzy, better zoom a little … nope, fuzzy, still, maybe pull back a little … Hmm, penny is in focus, hand is in focus, but the hammy is still a blur ….
Hammy is clearly not meant to be seen by the human eye.
did anyone ever watch that cuuuuuuute little show “Hammie the Hamster” in the ’90’s? I would get up at six in the morning to watch with my mom, O loved that shw, O was so crushed when i found out the took it off the air. oh and now im sad
It’s a hamster that could saddle up and ride a hummingbird
ommigawd! you gave me a cute,A. story idea and B. self exploding mental image that must never have meant to have been seen by human eyes because *explodes from too much cute*
I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about, LDCH – still maybe it’ll take you mind off your hammy grief:
http://www.hammyhamster.com/history.shtml
Our local animal puppet TV show was called “Percy Platypus,” and no – I am not making this up.
Strange but true: this show was produced in Lancaster, PA, USA. I am not now, nor have I ever been, an Australian.
thank you Aubrey *hug* [that might have been ackward, i wish id know you better] dat made me happy to hammy the hamster again
OMG, I tewtally thought that was a quarter the first time I saw the pic!! Kinda makes the head explode, just trying to think about how teeny that baby really is…
Russian, eh? Must be one of those purebred filigree Siberian hamsters.
