You expect me to GO TO COLLEGE!!?
[Shifty eyes] Can I major in Cheese?
By the way, Sender-Inner and Photographer Lindsey B. says she’s “This is Penelope. I’m creating a calendar. A sort of ‘ode to Penelope‘”. Looks great so far, Lindsey.

Aww! She’s the exact same color as my hamster Jayne. And just as cute with the tiny paws.
I believe I major in cheese every weeks ;OP
I sent my Poobah to college…..look what she did! http://www.flickr.com/photos/zaferina/2074544984/
beedy eyes, pick nose, shiny nails….delitious…cutest hamster ever!
I would purchase the teeny calendar, I would.
Penelope is adorableee..lil’ paws ♥
-I have a Q, I was trying to send in pics but I don’t have a “@microsoft.com” email, and I can’t make one, how can I send in pics?
Adorable teensy paws (could do without the GD hovertext – just me – sorry had to say it – I am prudy mc nerdgirl). Love the new format!
What a cutie!
I love love love the new site!!!! I always wondered why you didn’t have bigger pic’s. You guys are my smile every day. Thank you so much! Cheri
cute hamster! he looks like my friends hamster ginger, weeeeiiiirrrddd!?!
I hear the University of HAMburg has a fantastic cheese program.
Majoring in the culinary arts is a very respectable career option and would be a, dare I say it, a scr-hamp-tious idea!
Ode to Penelope!
Whose dainty paws are wont
To draw up in a semblance of grasping an ephemeral slice
Of cheese.
Whose nose,
Pink as the belly of babes
Would serve as a crucible
In which many-a snorgle would articulate.

Miss Penelope looks like she’s getting ready to type; (probly on a teeney-tineey typewriter, which is cleverly concealed by her book)… it’s not her fault that she is so smart that she belongs to the Hammy Branch of Mensa; she is just shy, and must be encouraged to seek higher education…..a university, perhaps, and not just some cheesy college…..!
Looking at those color pencils, it appears Penelope might be in danger of eating her college supplies.
@Zaferina: Cute pic!! Guess your Hammie isn’t into HTML, huh???
Hammie will submit assignments using a Mac-n-CheeseBook.
sorry about that
awww! this kid would make a perfect frat boy!
She’s…she’s too cuddly.
College is so drab, although majoring in cheese would be good!
I don’t know, little hammy looks like he got caught cribbing someone else’s answers.
Uhh, I KNOW this hamster has been on here before! She was the “I HATE Midterms!” hammy. My daughter memorized the comments that went with and every time she sees my wallpaper for my laptop (Penelope as seen here) she recites them. That said I think she is so cute she deserves another shout out here on CO!
I would like to major in hamsters in college. (Oh – I forgot, I already graduated, bummer!)
Penelope looks like has been tewtelly caught in the act. The act of what, I’m not sure, but she is definitely up to something. And her teeny little manicure is perfect!
I just clicked on the photostream of adorable little Penelope–she is a Perfect Little Actress! Such a ham. Very dramatic and expressive. The photos are great and you can tell that her Mom just loves this little cutie.
So cutes! As charming as this hammie is, she ees NOTHING without such masterful captioning.
Penelope looks just like my hamham, Coffee! I love the pictures sooooo much that I just bought the calendar
I look forward for the 2010 edition!!!
Approve of the god and damned hovairtext, as a thinly veiled excuse to see if my avatar is avataring.
Ooh, hamku coming on:
Apple for teacher
Up to her own scapula.
Suck-up supremo
5/7/5, hammos!
Oooh, we have lynxatar!
I’ll buy that calendar when it comes out! Cutest idea since the offiche C.O. calendar.
Penelope’s a beauty.
Hehehe! That is sooo cute!
Swears in the hovertext, shoo d**n shoo!
This hammie is almost cute enough to go to UCSB.
I must be part Hamster, I loves me the cheesey comestibles.
SQUEEEEEEEE!
A major in cheese? My sis has 4 more years to go for college but I bet she’d love that.
Great shot!
Penelope is truly adorables.
NOTE : there is no reason to use the DG word it was in very poor taste
in my humble opinion! I hope this is not the start of something, there
are too prosh pics and cute stuff to bring in the GD was uncalled for!!!
This cutie has been on here before! i remember the little chew marks on the blue pencil. If I had to do three more years of college I’d swear too, ALOT worse than what’s in the hovertext! Freedom of speech, y’all.
*falls off chair laughing at hovertext*
It’s ok sweetie, you can major in cheese if you like. Or broccoli.
I wish I was majoring in cheese!
Everybody knows hamsters go to Hampshire College!
my alma mater!
“Apple? What apple?”
I once had a hamster named Jezebel, and she often used the swearing words. I think she went to heaven anyways.
I love that God Damned Hamp-ster.
Good one, Meg.
The ode is really cute, too.
What a cute !!
Oops now pretend I cannot read.
Yup there is such a thing as freedom of speech. But, could you imagine what a horrible world it would be if we said anything we wanted to just because we could. (and you all know we actually are not allowed to say whatever we like.)
I love God. If it wasn’t for Him I would have died of an overdose. He gave purpose to my life. That’s why it hurts me when his name is used so disrespectfully. I also don’t think its okay to disrespect other peoples religious beliefs even if I don’t happen to believe in what they believe in. By the way, I don’t feel I have to make apologies for holding the view that you should be polite to others.
As an ethical atheist, I bless Meg and her CO underlords for their li’l ray o’ sunshine website each and every day.
I hope their faboosh senses of humour, without fear of censorship, will continue to p*ss some people off for a long, long time.
some people = anyone who believes in God.
I enjoy this site tremendously; several times a day. But,I really believe that there are many things that Meg and her helpers would not say because of their consideration for others. All I am asking is for the same. That makes me a bad person?
violet, no one called you a bad person. Yet you strongly imply that “Meg and her helpers” are disrespectful and inconsiderate simply because you disagree with a word used in a caption. Please don’t play the victim when you are the one trying to enforce your views on others.
TW. I wasn’t strongly implying anything. I actually came right out and said that it was disrespectful and offensive. A view that a few others brought up as well. You are adding insult to injury by being dismissive. Even though I neither view myself as a victim or intended to garner sympathy, technically I am the offended party, not the offending party. I didn’t write the hovertext. If God had been left out of it I would be commenting on the cute hamster instead. I guarantee you if something was said that Gays/Lesbians, African Americans, Jewish People, or Muslims, etc. took offense to they and others would have plenty to say, with plenty of support. When did it become okay to offend those who believe and God and why are we the ones who are offensive just because we refuse to suck it up. This is my last post on the subject matter. If anyone wants to discuss this further I suggest we take it off site. All you have to do is ask and I will give you my email address.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
i want dat in my mouffff. pweeeeeaaazzeee?
LOL!!! CHEESE!!! HE HE HE!!! HO HO HO!!! HA HA HA!!!
Hamster are the best, that one is one lil keeper!
What a cutie, that one is a keeper!
cheeeeezz….
I loooove this site! I loooove this pic! Penelope is uber cute, and I love her little expressions.
If you begin to get your panties in a twist about CO’s choice of words, you may feel free to take a deep breath, grab a chill pill, and and visit a little site called FUPenguin for some perspective.
trop cccccccccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooouuuuuuuuuu

Cute little thing! How can i pump up my hams to look like her? mine are too skinny. @.@ They eat a lot though. @.@
