Is that a very large hamster, or a very small trumpet? He looks huge!

Somewhere Satchmo is laughing and wondering “why didn’t I think of that?”

3 Mello 02.26.08 at 6:43 pm

Hamster cannon!

4 Kiragirl 02.26.08 at 6:45 pm

the ham plays “taps” in the trumpet
[tap tap tap feets]

O, hai!

It could be a Clarino trumpet and a good sized-hammie.

What a pudding of a face. Now this one, I could get reeaal close too. I’ll leave the horsies to other peeps.

My son plays the trumpet, and as soon as he sees this, he’s gonna start announcing that he needs a hammie. Stheriouswy, guys!

You might have to give the hammy some cute little earmuffs before using him as a mute.

9 Kari 02.26.08 at 7:13 pm

Normal-size trumpet, relatively normal-size ham. He’s just poofy (think Manny on Ice Age). Jumper’s a sweetheart, tho. Glad you like him!

10 Deanna 02.26.08 at 7:33 pm

Hammy Armstrong? I think this little guy’s cheekies would put Louie to shame, don’t you?

11 HannahC. 02.26.08 at 7:46 pm

LOL at above comment. :D

12 M. 02.26.08 at 8:34 pm

That hamster is gonna go flying.

13 berthaslave 02.26.08 at 8:37 pm

I understand that Miles Davis preferred hedgehogs…you can hear the rattle of the quills on “Sketches of Spain” if you listen closely enough.

14 Denita TwoDragons 02.26.08 at 8:47 pm

Of course, there’s the matter of what will be coming out of the spit valves later…LOL

Oh yeah, that’s what happens when you don’t clean your trumpet often enough.
A friend of mine used to get door mice coming out of hers if she let it go to long without a cleaning.
Really impedes the clarity of the sound.
In fact if the trumpet gets too dirty it sounds strangely like an obese pug saying “yummy yummy yummy.”

17 pinkwerewolff 02.26.08 at 9:18 pm

poor trumpet. What did you do to deserve that? ^^

Really ironic seeing as I just bought two mutes for my own trumpet…

18 Kaya 02.26.08 at 9:28 pm

Hammie is like: You’ve got to be kidding me..

Oh, and tiny foot alert!

19 arielle 02.26.08 at 10:03 pm

i think mr. hammie wants a nice ‘tocks massage…vibrationzzzzzz…as i am writing i am listening to jazz and am now imagining hams in every one of the trumpets!

20 Theresa 02.26.08 at 10:37 pm

Reminds me of a very long joke, the punchline of which is “All right, who’s the wise guy who put a hamster in the trumpet?”

21 bdwilcox 02.26.08 at 10:59 pm

A plumpet in a trumpet.

22 Marianne 02.26.08 at 11:03 pm

hams make the best music!

23 Kari 02.26.08 at 11:39 pm

Actually, the hammie is just a baby in that picture — it’s just the reflection that makes him look Ham-huge! :-)

24 Gail 02.27.08 at 12:34 am

@catablob: Too funny!!!!!!LOL!!! It’s like metamorphosis (sp?), right? Hamster in the trumpet is the chrysalis stage?? Hee!!

25 Mary (the first) 02.27.08 at 12:45 am

omg when I first glanced I thought it was a huge martini glass with a hammie in it.. must be time to go home.

26 catablob 02.27.08 at 1:34 am

Yes Gail, that’s it.
And if you use a trombone to cocoon the pupae you can end up with a ground hog or a potbellied pig.

27 Christmas Wedding 2008 02.27.08 at 2:05 am

Crazy hamster. I love it

28 Hon Glad 02.27.08 at 6:57 am

Hammie would make you fluff a few notes P~a~r~p~~

29 Gail 02.27.08 at 10:11 am

@catablob: WHO KNEW??!? Is it just the brass section or are there similar effects with the woodwinds?? :-D

30 Jessica G 02.27.08 at 2:28 pm

Thirty comments and still no obvious rhyme — cute mute?

32 Theo 02.27.08 at 4:45 pm

Hon Glad with the double fart joke! LOL

(again)

33 cal 02.27.08 at 9:22 pm

“oh my god, the third movement is comming up and I forgot my mute”!!

time for plan b.

34 Erica 02.28.08 at 2:17 am

I don’t wanna think about what would be coming out of that trumpet’s spit valve…

35 nakey 02.28.08 at 2:20 am

Aww, Jessica, we know. We feel the same way. :)

36 Subhangi 03.01.08 at 6:58 am

Start the cam
I know a whoopee spot
Where the peeps are cool
And the pictures rock,
It’s just a brilliant site
Where we just squee all night,
And all
That
Jazz.

What a cute little pink nose.

Kaya, good catch on the tiny foot alert!
