Das Hammen und das Rakken

It was only a matter of time before hams got in on the action. Little hams everywhere are prolly shoving cats out of racks with a mighty "EHN!" so THEY can have the place to themselves. And whatever hams want—HAMS GIT.

    awwwwww…A+ BEF. They match the beads on her necklace.

  2. zelda says:

    Jawhol! Das Hammen ist sehr, sehr CUTE!

  3. ceebs says:

    I think Racken would be feminine, therefore…
    Die racken! :-P
    cleavester hammage!

  4. snk says:

    I call duplicate posting!

  5. PuppyMomma says:

    Nope. Not my rack. Still looking…

  6. edgarde says:

    “n’racks” is a bit played out. Racks are great, but their proximity to cats and hams usually diminishes the cuteness of all IMO.

    I am glad for the hamster tho.

  7. Zorbs says:

    I would really like to buy that necklace.

  8. FairyDogmother says:

    It’s cute and everything, but her boobs are probably full of ham-poo.

    It’s a virtual Lake Titikaka.

    Once, when I worked at Bank of Evil, I was sitting next to one of my coworkers in the lunch room, and this crazy chittering sound began to emanate from her cleavage. You try not to stare, but how can you resist?

    After five minutes of me staring at her increasingly cranky sounding boobs, she finally said, “Baby sugar gliders. I keep them in my bra all day to get them used to people. Don’t tell anyone, okay? I’m probably not suppose to have them at work.” Probably.

    Anybody else ever heard of keeping baby sugar gliders in your bra?

  10. ebee says:

    Actually, I’m fascinated by her necklace. It’s beautiful!

  11. ebee says:

    BTW, did anyone notice this is posted twice? Wats happenin?

  12. Diem says:

    Dat is cute.

  13. Erin says:

    I love how the beady eyes of Mssr. Hammie match the necklace perfectly. A necklace, that I, for one, would love to own.

    The hammie too, for that matter. Although my Ruby would NOT appreciate a roommate. Diva-hammie.

    “I’m out of order? YOU’RE out of order!”

  15. Carolyn says:

    Ok, I think there have been enough comments that we need to know about this necklace! Submitter, please come forth and let us know where to find it. =)

  16. brownamazon says:

    Baby sugar gliders in your brassiere @ work=WTF??
    I imagine they’d be warm… but scratchy.
    Hamsters seem easier to shove down one’s cleavage than a 20-pound cat…

  17. llamas says:

    Ok, it’s taking all my self-control not to giggle out loud in my cube over the sugar gliders in the bra.

    (second post ever, woohoo!)

  18. kdub says:

    I knew a guy that worked at a dry cleaners who kept his sugar glider in his shirt pocket.

  19. jaypo says:

    I bet she made the necklace.

  20. ceebs says:

    It looks like it could be a Native American piece of jewelry, like some of the stuff I used to sell kinda, those type of flowers are a signature style.

    LOL@ sugar gliders in zee-bra! yipey!

  21. Must know about the necklace – please. I’m distracted by it.

    Animals in bras? At work? Eww.

  22. Aubrey says:

    A ham so nice Meg had to post it twice.

    Righteous ham, bra.

  23. tlh says:

    The hamster is teh cute and all, but I’m with the I-want-that-necklace crowd. It’s lovely!

  24. Lizzy says:

    Mein Gott! Sehr CUTE!!! *sterben*

    Teehee, I took German for 3 years (started in G2 freshman year since G1 wasn’t offered) and that’s like all I remember. I didn’t whip out the translator, though. Righteous.

    Anyway. AWESOME! Now I wanna get a hammypants so I can tuck it in my top and walk around with his little face poppin’ out. It must be a great way to figure out when a guy’s checkin’ out your rack. “Hey good loo-GAAAH!”

  25. jaypo says:

    I make some jewelry and have seen those kinds of clasps at gem and bead shows. I never saw it worn in front like that though–very pretty! If you have even a little time and creativity, that necklace would be really easy to make.

  26. pistache268 says:

    Double post?

    …buh?

  27. Demi says:

    I think that the girl/hamster combo is definitive proof that

    Mammals = Cyute.

  28. Ed says:

    Jaypo
    I am starting a jewelery business in the UK-get in touch if you are interested in selling what you make. That hamsters definitley got a smile on its face.

  29. wendy says:

    My hams used to climb in my shirt all the time – I was at rehearsal once, and the director remarked that “your cleavage has eyes”. Little hammie was peeking up out of my v-neck sweater!

    And I also know a woman who kept her sugar glider in her bra – actually her halter top. She was a belly-dancer at the renaissance faire.

  30. hrh.squeak says:

    Hey, peeps, that clasp is from Pegasus Imports in Petaluma, California, stock number TL110. The catalog is from before the horrendous jump in the price of silver, so I’m guessing at the current cost, but about $6.50 wholesale. The rest of the necklace is probably onyx, about 5mm, beads.

    I have a small jewelry business (beads and wirework only, no metalwork), and a wholesale licence. I am not really 100% comfy with stealing a design off the Intarwebs verbatim; but if you’d like to dialogue about a reasonable variation of this, email me directly, perhaps on my Vox account.

    Meg, if it’s not OK to put this out there, please please delete this post. I *do not* want to shill for my company, just to offer people the chance to get a necklace they seem to be really interested in.

  32. Aliza says:

    I also want to know who the girl in the pic is… because I made that necklace! (Unless it’s the exact same version of one I make)

  33. jaypo says:

    Ed, that’s awesome! I’ll email you for info.

  34. hrh.squeak says:

    Hello peeps,

    Please get in touch with Aliza for any necklace inquiries. I’m glad the designer stepped forward!

  35. Mad_Mike says:

    Pete and Repeat walk into a bar….

  36. jaypo says:

    Squeak, I remember seeing Pegasus stuff in the shows but haven’t bought any of their items. Very classy!

  37. Aliza says:

    Hi all… as hrh.squeak said, feel free to contact me for more info on the neckalce. Just click on my name to email me :)

  38. orrnyereg says:

    Isn’t that a gerbil, not a hamster?

  39. Anita says:

    Redzilla-
    Sugarglider bra-stuffers seems to be fairly common. My friend’s aunt has one, and it’s not uncommon to see it erupting from her cleavage. Tickle, tickle!

  40. Li says:

    Anybody else ever heard of keeping baby sugar gliders in your bra?

    No, but I know someone at my job who did the same with a baby bunny. No chittering, just warm snuggles.

  41. Lauri says:

    Well, I would definitely not be taking my guinea pigs to work in my bra cuz there would be a trail of turds wherever I went.

  42. hrh.squeak says:

    Lauri – LMAO.

    Boss: Where’s Lauri?

    Co-worker: (checking trail of turds) Making copies of that report, I think. Check the copy room.

  44. AuntieMame says:

    Sugar gliders in the brassiere would be cheaper than implants, I guess…

  45. Danielle says:

    Cheaper than implants, yes.
    Eat less than implants, no.

    And they would re-arrange themselves!

  46. AuntieMame says:

    That could be a problem, Danielle. :)

    “I think Racken would be feminine, therefore…
    Die racken! :-P

    Your German grammar is correct, ceebs, although I quibble about whether all racken are feminine. I’ve seen some guys with pretty impressive racken, and it makes me a little jealous. 8^0

  47. Mel says:

    My sister did that with her pet sugarglider, and she also took it to work.

  48. Theo says:

    Whoa, Danielle. Moboobility!

  49. lurkertype says:

    That’s one of the many things I like about CO. Racks? Eh, who cares, but let’s make sure the grammar is right. But big enthusiasm over the necklace and the hammie. You guys rock.

  50. Aubrey says:

    It’s a glam ham.

    And is there no love for the pretty lace-y top?

  51. Danielle says:

    Nnyuck nyuck, Theo, you cracken me up over die racken!

  52. Danielle says:

    Aubrey – die lace-y top ist rocken’ on top o’ die racken.

  53. nocolorsky says:

    Holla,
    i’m the chick with ham n’ ma rack…very tickly and gigglin’ good time with the furreh.
    haha, i didn’t realize there’d be so many comments about my necklace…i actually got it as a gift for crimmas from my friends last year…they got it from someone who made it and sells them on a website? i forget the address, soory. didn’t realize i was a walking advert, hehe.
    cuteoverload, you should put up the bonsai picture, tooooo. ham chan is perfectly proportionate to it and looks like he’s the size of a bear to the tree but he’s a hamster (not a gerbil). i wanna gerbil. and a sugar glider. i’d put them all in my shirt, it’d be very crowded in there.
    ^_____^

    I KNOW THAT CLEAVE!!! That’s my best friend Kay-chan!! I bought her that necklace…but not the hamster…no…not the hamster. Write me if you need her email!!
