    Isn’t that a gerbil?

  15. musicchick2 says:

    Man, he is JUST toooo cute! I wonder if that’s a Lego helmet…must be bigger than that, huh? Whatever, he’s still adorable. And I agree with golden….little hammie football pants! Ahn!

  16. Lindsay says:

    That is SO cute!

    I think those come out of gumball machines. I used to get them when I was a kid.

  17. GreggLDv says:

    See, because of the constant SNORGLING I receive, I must have proteck-shuns …

  18. Lauri says:

    SuperDuper Cute!!!!

  19. Rachel of Cyberia says:

    I think you mean yellow flag- yellow card is soccer.

  20. Lizzy says:

    What no one has yet to realize is that this is a GIANT HAMSTEYHR and that is people-size helmetitude. Scary? Perhaps. Cute? Oh yes. Snorgle-able? *buries head in floof* Definitely.

  21. DanBenZvi says:

    Oh lord, it’s Peyton Ham-ming.

  22. Gillian says:

    ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALLLLLLL!?

    Nope. That’s a hamster fo shizzle.

    (PS: Meg, they use yellow cards in soccer. They throw flags in football… say “Flag on the play”)

    Junior Varsity!

  24. NYgirly says:

  25. Jen says:

    DanBenZvi–ROFL!! Go colts. and Hams.

  26. Shannon Johnson says:

    Football hamster, how cute.

  27. Dale says:

    Actually, I believe this is Jack Ham.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ham

    (Was this guy in the starting line for Michigan yesterday? That would explain a lot…)

  28. Ponygirl says:

    Dale, that was what I was going to say!

  29. Jen says:

    OMG I TOTALLY remember doing that, circa 1978. My brother had a million of those helmets & we’d put them on my five gerbils an watch them totter around and crash into each other. Ahhh… misty water-colored memories….

  30. kitty lover says:

    how cute is that yo!!

    (P.S)

    “i said get into FOR-MAY-SHON!!!!!!”

    : – )

  31. hey-h says:

    Ok, so, maybe yellow card is technically less correct, but it’s funnier – can you imagine the hamster/gerbil/whatever playing soccer in this helmet? Heh.

  32. The Honourable Gladys Anstruther says:

    Hammy. Now I can try for that mousetrap cheese.

  33. Puff says:

    OMFG. ::DIES::

  34. Dee says:

    That helmet is the best…but…Isn’t that a gerbil? I don’t think its a ham.

  35. J. Bo says:

    I’m not generally much on the rodents, but that is seriously hilarious.

  36. Julie H says:

    The “Heisman Ham” is my hamster, Kyle. He is a Russian Dwarf Hamster. Unfortunately, he passed away before he could see himself (famously!) on Cute Overload. So seeing him is a little bittersweet. The helmet is a cupcake decoration and I got him to wear it by schmearing a little pb on the inside of the strap. He would do literally anything for peanut butter. Thanks to everyone who thinks this is a cute picture!

  37. ColbyWolf says:

    Very cute! I’m sorry for your lose, Julie…

    Though at risk of changing the topiic: anyone else been having trouble with hamster tracker the past few days? I didn’t realize how empty my life was without my daily dose of Lucy…

  38. blair says:

    Ah! A delicious McPigskinnersons! I must have eeet!

  39. Blackie says:

    I am so sorry for you, Julie. Kyle was the cutest!

  40. Theresa says:

    Football? Eh. I love baseball. Show me a David Wright or Jose Reyes hamster.

    Oh wait, Jose Reyes IS a hamster!!

  41. Theresa says:

    PS Jose has got some serious BEF, too. ;)

  42. amanda says:

    Ohhhh!!! I used to have about 11 dwarves a few years ago! I got one to wear a tiny tiny little shirt, and i used to sit them in little pumpkin decorations

  43. Juniper Jupiter says:

    Ervel Kegerbil?

  44. SPB says:

    Julie H, so sorry to hear about your losing Kyle. Kyle… what a cute name for a hammy.

    I’ve had dwarf hamsters for a number of years. But I must say, I never tried dressing any of them. My rats wouldn’t even stand for that (not that I’ve tried. hmm…)

    Anyway, I know you and Kyle had a lot of fun together. He was one lucky ham.
