Hammette 2: "I KNOW—She thinks she is so HAWT"

Hammette 1: "Dewd, we’re audi. Let’s go to Wet Seal or something—I totally need new jeans"

Hammette 2: "Fine—but we gotta stop at Forever 21 first."

Hahaha.. I love it when you make a little story out of the pictures. :D

2 Tisha_ 06.15.06 at 7:18 pm

Aww. Poor little shunned white hammie!

3 kariboo 06.15.06 at 7:20 pm

who knew that hamsters could be so bitchy!
it must be hard to be that cute.

4 Tigger Jourard 06.15.06 at 7:20 pm

Meg, it’s your comments that raise it from merely cute to Brilliant and cute! Need a regular dose of CO to stay relaxed and happy.

5 Chris Willie Williams 06.15.06 at 7:23 pm

Awww- now I feel really sorry for li’l whitey!

And I really want to resent the two grayeys for being such snobs, but they’re entirely too adorable.

6 TheIdleReceptionist 06.15.06 at 7:27 pm

HAA!

I feel a “Animal Bitchery” catigory coming on…

7 Laurie C 06.15.06 at 7:30 pm

What slays me is the perfect sync of the brown girls leaving in phot #3 — how the stripes on their backs are perfectly parallel.

8 mejezabel 06.15.06 at 7:35 pm

‘Oh my God Becky – Look at her butt’

9 Michelle 06.15.06 at 7:36 pm

OMG can you believe she’s all like wearing white jeans on that butt?

10 ladecho 06.15.06 at 7:37 pm

Those aren’t mice?

11 Sandy 06.15.06 at 7:42 pm

I think this rates “sad or cute” because I think the white hammie is blind.

*sniffle sniffle* poor lil’ outcast lonely blind white tiny hammie.

Just look at her cloudy eyes!

12 Aubrey 06.15.06 at 7:46 pm

A typical work day; hammies telling tales and talking trash around the water drain.

13 mejezabel 06.15.06 at 7:48 pm

tiny tail trifecta!!!!

14 E. Collison 06.15.06 at 7:54 pm

Ham-tails, ham-feet and ham-ears!

I really don’t think these ’sters are all *that* nasty…. but I *luv* da cap-shuns.

15 Eleanor 06.15.06 at 7:57 pm

Aw, look at the little boo boos. Hello little boo boos! I just want to scoop them up and rub them against my cheeks.

16 *tara 06.15.06 at 8:01 pm

bite-size cuteness!

17 punkpie 06.15.06 at 8:03 pm

Yeah I was wondering if the white hammie is blind too… corneas look clouded over. :-(

18 Laurie C 06.15.06 at 8:05 pm

“bite-size cuteness!”

Is this a new record — only 16 posts before someone alluded to (if not openly stated) putting the cute animal(s) in their mouth?

19 greenighs 06.15.06 at 8:14 pm

Why do they have to be mean? Why can’t they be two boy hammies talking all macho about how she likes them … then freaking out and getting scared when she comes over to chat?

Hammies are nice!

20 Theo 06.15.06 at 8:19 pm

Yeah, I thought it was TEH SKWERLS that were evil…?

21 martha in mobile 06.15.06 at 8:20 pm

Or how about how they are two boys trying to figure out how they can swipe that manhole (hammie-hole) cover cuz it would look great in their room and then their mom comes over and they’re all “act casual” and then they’re all “she knows! lets get out of here!”

22 r0rschach 06.15.06 at 8:21 pm

For shame! Hamsters don’t support animal cruelty, and Wet Seal sells fur products!

23 A thinker 06.15.06 at 8:22 pm

tee hee! hammie dramatics :)

24 Leigh 06.15.06 at 8:23 pm

I think the cloudy-eye is a result of some kind of red-eye touchup. Albino/Pink Eyed White rodents eyes get that “evil” look in most photos… so she can probably see just fine :)

25 s 06.15.06 at 8:26 pm

three perfect hammy tails, delish

26 CP 06.15.06 at 8:27 pm

You’re not doing Product Placement™, are you Meg? :-)

27 Lillith 06.15.06 at 8:29 pm

Aww the poor widdle loner hammie!!

28 chibi 06.15.06 at 8:31 pm

Hammie Junior High…life can be rough during those tender years. But aren’t they cute??

29 E. Collison 06.15.06 at 8:35 pm

Albus (aka “white hammie”) seems perfectly fine here (http://flickr.com/photos/hamsters/11675492/in/set-476181/ ) – my guess, as mentioned by someone else above, is that the look is due to red-eye correction.

30 E. Collison 06.15.06 at 8:36 pm
31 Liana 06.15.06 at 8:38 pm

Aww, ugly duck- Hamling.

32 ebee 06.15.06 at 8:38 pm

Tiny hammie hind feetses turned up in unison! TOO MUCH….aaaaaa *thud*

33 A thinker 06.15.06 at 8:46 pm

heh heh. For hammies, it could be called, “As the Wheel Turns.”

34 M- 06.15.06 at 8:48 pm

Maybe the scenerio could be that little Albus was avoiding them and then said screw it and went to go tell them what for… notice they are trying to crawl up the wall… I’ve seen guys do this trying to get away from an angry woman before… *l*

35 zelda 06.15.06 at 8:51 pm

Oh, I hope they make friends with the lonely white mouse. (hammie?)
Awww.

36 zelda 06.15.06 at 8:53 pm

D’oh! They’re dwarf hammies.

37 Kris, in New England 06.15.06 at 8:56 pm

I’m with greenighs – I’d rather think it’s 2 boys who have a crush on the lovely snowy hammie.

“You ask her out. No, YOU do it. Oh great, here she comes. Don’t let her see that you like her…”

38 alice 06.15.06 at 8:59 pm

LOL how cute! Either story works, but I have to say that brunette hammy on the left in the first picture does look like she’s turning a jealous eye on blondie.

39 greenighs 06.15.06 at 9:01 pm

Okay, two reeaaallly stoned hamsters who think the white hammie is gonna bust them …

40 alice 06.15.06 at 9:02 pm

Laurie C. – the parallel stripes followed by parallel tails totally got me, too! awww!

41 alice 06.15.06 at 9:04 pm

Is that a drain? At first I thought it was a button. Hm [squinting] bathtub or sink?

42 Theo 06.15.06 at 9:06 pm

“C’mon man, don’t be an idiot, have you seen her eyes?? She’s totally a babe!”
“Dude. Get a grip. Those are tinted contacts.”

43 The Guy Over There 06.15.06 at 9:07 pm

Awww, they want a real hammy? They should hang out with Gohan, the rat snake luvah.

44 Silence Dogood 06.15.06 at 9:11 pm

I am not familiar with the chinese/dwarf/whatever-these-guys-are type of hamsters, but I am pretty sure these are all hamettes & not hamsterdudes. On male Syrian hamsters, their junk is dangle-jangling & these hamsters don’t have no visible junk.

45 E. Collison 06.15.06 at 9:14 pm

A thinker, yes! kinda like Mia’s ’sters, who were featured here a while back:

http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/04/name_these_hamm.html

I can’t seem to find the direct link to her video of them trying to “share” their wheel, though…

46 *tara 06.15.06 at 9:17 pm

laurie c…no…i was alluding to their tiny size. not putting them in my mouth.

47 E. Collison 06.15.06 at 9:24 pm

Well, the video seems to be gone, but here are pics of Mia’s lil’ critters:

48 Jaeby 06.15.06 at 9:31 pm

Oh man, I wanna take a FORK to them and break my vegetarianism, omg it would be worth it. I wanna chomp them!

49 holly 06.15.06 at 10:11 pm

poor things need better fashion sense

50 Megan 06.15.06 at 10:49 pm

Nice pictures…stupid comments. You are not funny.

51 Courtney 06.15.06 at 11:08 pm

I want to eat them too! I don’t know why, they don’t look edible, but they’re so cute and bite-sized!

Someone should make little hammie-shaped gummy candies.

52 Teddy 06.15.06 at 11:17 pm

is that an albino mouse?

Teddy

53 chunkstyle 06.15.06 at 11:22 pm

Finally, my two loves together: Soaps and Hamsters
Great job Meg!

54 ebichu 06.15.06 at 11:23 pm

Male dwarf hammies haven’t got big testicles at all (except my late Roborovski who looked quite the pr0n star in his late age)!

55 AuntieMame 06.15.06 at 11:24 pm

Thank you for sharing, Megan. I hope you treat your real life friends with the same courtesy. Have a nice day.

56 alice 06.15.06 at 11:29 pm

Siiigh I actually got sidetracked checking out the Forever 21 website. Hm those shorts sure are short. Hm now I trying to see teeny-tiny versions of the dresses on the hammies, though I’m not sure how dresses would fit on hammy-type bodies.

57 VaCKo 06.15.06 at 11:34 pm

The whole “they’re so cute I want to eat them” thing… maybe THIS is why some animals eat their young?

58 Michele 06.15.06 at 11:38 pm

Aww poor girl, do you want me to kick their asses?

59 lauowolf 06.16.06 at 12:01 am

AM
Maybe don’t so much kick their asses, as pick them up and snoogle them a while to mellow them out.
Or just scoop up little entirely spherical white hammette for some comforting.
(Must remind self, kitties would not properly appreciate snorgable rodents)

60 Mia 06.16.06 at 1:15 am

awwwwww larger versions of my hamsters! haha cant believe you guys still remember my hamsters…heres the movie

http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/miachia916/?action=view&current=CIMG2484.flv

61 E. Collison 06.16.06 at 1:33 am

Thanks, Mia! Your girls are cute, no question.

62 Mia 06.16.06 at 1:37 am

:)

63 karen 06.16.06 at 1:53 am

Wet Seals sells swim wear, etc, right? Not fur.

64 duck 06.16.06 at 2:37 am

Haha, I’ve been here more or less since the beginning (hardly ever post, obviously) and I think this is the best set of pictures yet!

65 duck 06.16.06 at 2:40 am

…even if I agree that hamsters wouldn’t be so snotty. :p

66 A thinker 06.16.06 at 3:35 am

Mia, LOL’ing here at that most incredibly wonderful video of your silly little hammies trying to “share” a hammie wheel. Too, TOO funny!

67 Michelle 06.16.06 at 4:10 am

That’s right!!! I rully rully rully feel it’s super duper necessary to point out that not only would hamsters NEVAR act snotty, they would never wear jeans either!!!!!!1 Duh

68 laura 06.16.06 at 4:14 am

They are so cute! They look like cotton balls with little eyes and footsies. I wish they were the size of cats or dogs…omg I’d just die of happiness.

69 Chilli 06.16.06 at 4:46 am

Just watched Mia’s video & now can’t see a thing….. tears rolling down face from laughing.

Kudos Mia

70 Michelle 06.16.06 at 5:11 am

Wait. I guess hamsters do wear jeans:

http://www.fly-by-night.net/hamjeans.jpg

71 E. Collison 06.16.06 at 6:07 am

Michelle, you are too too TOO much!! Your ’shop job made me smile and smile.

72 hrh.squeak 06.16.06 at 7:43 am

Oh lordy, between the video of Mia’s prosh little hammies trying to share a wheel and Michelle’s CuteTastic custom hammie jeans, I laughed till I couldn’t breathe!!!

73 Serena 06.16.06 at 7:59 am

hahaha… awww, poor white hammie!

74 Seema 06.16.06 at 11:35 am

AHHAHAHHAHAHA THE CAPTIONS
I think I died more from the hilarity of the captions than from the cute

oh wait, i lied

75 Creepy Lesbo 06.16.06 at 11:39 am

Ha ha! Class! It’s a reenactment of the UK Big Brother with hamsters!

76 A thinker 06.16.06 at 12:14 pm

Michelle! You’re a genius!

77 jenni joon 06.16.06 at 12:50 pm

Nubby little tails… so hilariously CUTE! Maybe that should be a new rule: Nubby Tail Factor (NTF)..?

78 kasia 06.16.06 at 1:11 pm

seriously, this story made me really sad!! poor white innocent hammy! someone find the little fluffball a friend, puh-leeeease!!

79 Tony James 06.16.06 at 3:20 pm

I think it’s clear what’s going on here – for a start, the pictures are in the wrong order. The 3rd pik should be first – the hamsters are playing sardines, and the white one is trying to work out if she can hide in the plug hole while the other two turn their backs and count to 10. The 2nd pik shows the white one have vanished (because she’s hiding, and the other 2 trying to work out where she is. In the last (i.e. first) pik, the 2 brown ones are seeing if she’s hidden down the plughole, while she scampers away down to the other end of the bath.

80 Tony James 06.16.06 at 3:23 pm

Alternatively, the two brown ones have just hidden their stash down the plug hole, and the white one is a cop. The 3rd pik is tewtelly, “Ok, dirtbags – up against the wall and spread ‘em. Cuff ‘em, Danno.”

81 Sarah 06.16.06 at 6:20 pm

wahhhh, they’re too cute and funnnnnny!

82 Savannah 06.16.06 at 7:38 pm

Cute.. but Wet Seal participates in animal testing. :( Which makes it kinda ironic and sad.

83 Lohan Roberto 06.17.06 at 3:36 pm

lol – so cute. Almost as cute as this:

http://zxo.blogspot.com/2006/06/kitty-vs-macbook.html

84 Meg 06.19.06 at 3:53 pm

Michelle! BRILLIANT! My mouth literally dropped open. Maybe YOU can help me do a better job on the Hammie eyes… I need your guidance, girl! write me!

85 Theo 06.29.06 at 7:32 pm

I think someone’s screen-name should be upgraded to “Michelle Shopped” [starts humming "My Little Sister"].

I just finally saw the hammie jeans *today* (not sure how I missed it; maybe I was off in MI helping teh seester move to new house).

Pantablulous, girl!

86 Shari 06.30.07 at 1:54 pm

LOL – these are my hamsters!

I know it’s been a year since this post, but I’ll still be a dork and say thanks for the great laugh and all the happy comments. All three sisters are gone now, but this just adds to the great memories of them.

Thanks again, Shari
