Exsqueeze me. I prefer “Year of Rodentia”

by Meg on February 12, 2008

Rats get ENOUGH atten-shons! They should share a bit on this Chinese New Year of the Rat thing. Year of RODENTIA is ONLY FAIR. Or even Year of Pocket Pets. Put that in your bamboo pipe.

Ever seen rats share anything? Grow a tail and fight for your share like the rest of ‘em, hammy.

I used to have striped warm-up socks like that, too.

15 Michelle 02.12.08 at 1:32 pm

16 Minya 02.12.08 at 1:34 pm

Plus, he’s all like, heeeeyyy, why should it be just rats?

17 Zenta Kronitis 02.12.08 at 1:57 pm

“Year of Rodentia”? Hardly.

“Annus Rodentialis”. THAT’S what I’m talking about. :D

Gong hi fac choi, peeps!

18 blair 02.12.08 at 2:09 pm

he’s looking see what’s on the dim sum cart in the next aisle

19 Babs 02.12.08 at 2:13 pm

How could we say no to your red-haired chubbulence, McHammersons? I shall note it on checks from now on.

20 Nancy 02.12.08 at 2:54 pm

can we get a closeup of the muzzlepowshe?

21 Theresa 02.12.08 at 3:56 pm

“Exqueeze me” (snort!)

22 liz 02.12.08 at 5:17 pm

(see his left ear?) this is tragic, people!
caution is needed whenever nommin dainty ears.

and check it! he’s sitting right-on his little butt! that is the cutest thing ev!

23 berthaslave 02.12.08 at 6:09 pm

This looks like a long-haired buddha hippie hammie. Or, should I say, Jerry Garcia hammie? What’s that growing in the plant to his side, hmmm?

24 circuscake 02.12.08 at 6:24 pm

he looks like he’s getting ready to give a very important lecture…he really needs a little podium.

25 chanpon 02.12.08 at 8:48 pm

That is the most ridiculously cute hamster picture EVER! He’s so perfectly corn kernel shaped.

26 Momof2kitties 02.12.08 at 9:11 pm

I can has?

27 Gail 02.12.08 at 10:58 pm

Verrry cute!

BTW–looks like a (lucky) Bamboo plant there!! ‘Course he could try smoking it….if he is a Deadhead….he does have a kind of open-mouthed confused look….

And, I think we can be “the deciders” and declare “The Year of the Rat” is hereby broadened to include any and all creatures that may display certain rat-like qualities (including but not limited to hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, et al) to all honors, benefits and celebratory activities normally associated with “The Year of the Rat”.

28 Angela P. 02.12.08 at 11:14 pm

You are right! He is shaped like a kernel of corn. Love it! :)

29 Guido 02.13.08 at 2:50 am

Give it up guys, rats don’t share. It’s the Year of the Rat, and that’s all. You want a Year of Rodentia or Pocket Pets, you gotta convince the Chinese. But rats don’t share.

30 sarah 02.13.08 at 3:41 am

Aww I love the ‘exsqueeze’ me! This pic is so cute! I wish I had a little ham like that one.

31 CheshireCat 02.13.08 at 5:48 am

Aww, a marmalade hammie!

32 Julimi 02.13.08 at 6:59 am

Buddah hamster!
I’m a big rat fan, but I can definitely get behind this Year of the Pocket Pet initiative. Someone should write up a petition.

33 Subhangi 02.13.08 at 11:17 am

Tickle floofy hammeh belleh!!!

34 jen 02.13.08 at 2:10 pm

35 TRACI R. 02.13.08 at 5:13 pm

This hamster reminds me of that fat little gopher in the movie Cady Shack. I can see him now swinging his little paws, and rocking back and forth to the music…

36 ashagato 02.14.08 at 1:07 am

looks like he fell in a bowl of flour, or bleach!

37 Lizzie 02.15.08 at 8:30 pm

Awwwww! So cute!! :) I feel like I should be apologizing to that hammie, as I was born in the year of the rat!
