Mango’s Desperate Attempt at Cute Overload Fame

by Prongs on November 17, 2009

No. I’m sorry, but they won’t go for this. The lighting is all wrong – I’m not all “gorgeous amber” that they like to talk about. And this angle does nothing for my paws except scream baby-like – and we know they don’t like that.

You're gonna crop that toilet paper out, right?

No, I’m not going to back up – this is what they like!

Does this angle make my nose look big?

Mango gets his 15 minutes, Paula.

Such is Mango!

Mango is so fracking cute. The second picture, I just want to kiss that soft little snout!

3 Hila 11.17.09 at 6:14 am

What a sweet hammie! *smooches on nose*
I love that his cheek pouches are obviously filled with goodies :)

In my book Mango is already a super star! I love his tiny hands, and his beady eyes, and his whiskers, and his Hollywood-esque nose…and that color…Mango, that color is simply gorgeous.

Can i have your autograph? Mango? Helloooo??

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

This really made my day – I lost my job yesterday, so “I was feeling low, I was feeling mighty bad” (Sophia/Color Purple reference LOL)

Mango – you are ADORBUHLS!!!!

*THREAD-JACK*

KATRINA!!!!! KATRINA!!!!!! KATRINA!!!!!!

I’m gonna hope you’re in the US – because VIGGO is gonna be on GOOD MORNING AMERICA (ABC) (I think) this morning!!!! *swoooooooooooooooooooooons*

*now back to your regularly scheduled hamster*

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Hammie paw gripping the bukket in the second picture…[ded]

Very sweet … with the pink and pale orange and the fuzz, he should be careful when hanging around tin cans … some one might mistake him for a peach and glomph him.

9 ButtaRumCake 11.17.09 at 6:43 am

*runs to get smelling salts & compresses*

PAGING NURSE STEF!!! PAGING NURSE STEF!!!

(I’m tryna get a handle on the carnage before it gets critical)

*wafts smelling salts under Saffron’s nose* Saffron, dear…are you okay? Saffron?
*applies compress to forehead*

10 ButtaRumCake 11.17.09 at 6:45 am

VIGGO IS ON NOW!!!! OMG!!!! *faints next to Saffron*

11 Nikki 11.17.09 at 7:07 am

That second picture is deadly with his perfect little face and teensy paw. Sigh. I love Toes-days in Nosevember!

Oh and BEEP!!!

12 Juno 11.17.09 at 7:34 am

Wow. Pure win. Toes AND nose. Plus, Mango is a great name.

13 Saffron 11.17.09 at 7:36 am

I got confused and thought Nikki’s post was about Viggo. Perfect face, yes…but teensy paws?

What’s that? It is about Mango? Oh..heh heh…erm, ….sorry.

14 Rachael 11.17.09 at 7:43 am

The beady eyes, the honkin’ big schnozzola, the translucent earsies, and the baby fingers. I mean, people, the fingers!!!!! I am DOA (Ded on Adorabuhls).

15 DKN 11.17.09 at 7:47 am

MANGO…..I am under your spell………….I shall bring sunflower seeds and lavender sprigs and cedar shavings to your dressing room every night. There, you will pretend you do not loff me. But you know that you do…yet you will send me away and then demand I come back. Oh these games you play. I will remain under your spell for quite some time, my sweet. I promise.

16 Suzanne 11.17.09 at 7:50 am

@DKN: LOL I thought of the SNL skit with Chris Kattan too! ‘You cannot have ze….*impassioned whisper Mango!’

17 Theo 11.17.09 at 7:51 am

Teeny tiny camera schnorff.

18 J. 11.17.09 at 7:54 am

You guys may want to consider renaming the site HamsterOverload.com, or at least coming up with a sister site. ;-)

Wow, an orange hamster, and bright orange at that. You wouldn’t happen to live near a nuclear reactor, would you, Paula?

Fantastic — and very cute — pix. One of them should be in next year’s calendar. :-)

19 Katrina 11.17.09 at 7:56 am

Yes, ButtaRumCake-I’m in the hinterlands of the Great Steppes of Central Connecticut.
Thanks so much for the Viggo-spotting. I didn’t see it, but I felt it.

Now, what is this about job losing? First, big hamster hugs and kisses from any and all species that will soothe you. I am so sorry. We are here, cold comfort, I know, but, when words can help, we’ll be here.

I wish you a Viggo day and a Redonculous Hamster/Tiiiiny Keeshound/elkhound yawn and everything I can possibly send you for comfort. You will be OK, even though it doesn’t feel like it now.

Write back!

20 KIttehsMom 11.17.09 at 8:15 am

I wonder with Mango jam would taste like???

Nom. Nom. Nom. Nom.

21 DKN 11.17.09 at 8:21 am

@ Suzanne – Great minds, my dear. ;)

22 Lerrinus 11.17.09 at 8:39 am

Mango – what a perfectly cute name for a perfectly cute hammy! :-D

23 LovesDogs 11.17.09 at 8:45 am

Mango should get 30 minutes since his wittle paws are soooo sweet!

24 ButtaRumCake 11.17.09 at 8:55 am

*fans Rachael*

Where O where is Nurse Stef? While I’m glad we don’t have bodies piled up against the door, I’m no where near qualified to squeak my shoes like Nurse Stef does…

*breaks open smelling salts & waves under Rachels nose* How do you feel, sweetie? Y’aight?

25 ButtaRumCake 11.17.09 at 9:00 am

@Katrina – thanks so much! I’m still a bit stunned about it all, but I’m believe I’m gonna be fine. When one door closes, God opens another :o )
Besides CO is doing a great job at making me feel better (although the Viggo sighting was AWESOME!!!)
Meanswhile – I’m gonna make a list of cute guys that I can daydream about while Prongs, Theo, NOMTOM, Meg and’nem get to posting more pics of the furries! :mrgreen:

*scribbles*

Viggo….. Mike (Rowe)….. Denzel *drools on paper* DAMMIT…

*new paper*

Viggo…. Mike (Rowe)….. Denzel *drools again* CRAAAAP

This is gonna take longer than I thought *sigh*

26 Snowpea 11.17.09 at 9:29 am

Mango! Brilliant name for a MarmieHammie.

27 Suh 11.17.09 at 9:37 am

Did ya notice his nose shadow is in the shape of a heart! He is a love mango. Cheeks are not balanced properly :) Right looks fuller. Tickle whiskers.

28 Chetchez 11.17.09 at 9:38 am

MOAR HAMS! WE DEMAND MOAR HAMS!

29 Miaoosers 11.17.09 at 9:54 am

@ButtaRumCake. You have all my support. Keep the positive attitude and think of Mango if ever you feel down. God has indeed some wonderplans for you.

As for Mango, he looks vewy vewy kissable. SmoochySmmmooooooch! ^-^

30 Michelle 11.17.09 at 10:07 am

Ah, I want to kiss that wee nose!

31 Kar 11.17.09 at 10:15 am

Seriously cute name for a cutie but now I keep wondering what he tastes like.

The hamster I mean.

32 MissKitty 11.17.09 at 10:24 am

Oh my goodness what a cutie. *swoon*

I know the cute nossicle is overwhelming in the second photo, but I’d also like to direct attention to the little paw.
*collapse*

33 kittyadventures 11.17.09 at 10:37 am

CO Tower we are clear for lift off!

34 Bryn 11.17.09 at 10:37 am

The BEF gets me every time. I miss having a hammy to beg for buttered toast in the morning. I bet Mango would like buttered toast.

35 kzgz 11.17.09 at 10:39 am

SNOOOOOT! That Mango knows his/her audience!

I guess a big kiss on that adorable snoot would end up covering a lot more ham-territory, but MANGO NEEDS A BIG SMOOCH!

36 T.U.M. 11.17.09 at 10:44 am

You cannot have-a da Mango!

37 victoreia 11.17.09 at 10:57 am

Ya’know, I don’t normally like mangos, but….nose beep!

38 Space Cowgirl 11.17.09 at 12:02 pm

*stuffs mango ice cream-flavoured pocket pet in mouth* Thanks!

39 Alex 11.17.09 at 12:07 pm

Oh, Mango, why are you so awesome?

40 Cholmondeley 11.17.09 at 12:10 pm

41 Grace 11.17.09 at 1:09 pm

42 Suh 11.17.09 at 1:15 pm

43 Juno 11.17.09 at 2:08 pm

“Mango, mango, mango! M-A-N-G-O, mango! Now give it me, you mop jockey!”

[Whoa, not a lot of Paulie references on here. Cheers! - Ed.]

44 Snowpea 11.17.09 at 2:25 pm

Did you know that we lowly humans can now live as our Hamster Overlords?

45 Wend 11.17.09 at 2:25 pm

@ButtaRumCake, love and hugs and condolences on the loss of your job. Yes, God has something lined up for you: He always does us one better than we think possible if we keep the faith. *Pulls out purloined prescription pad;scribbles illegibly*- Hamster hugs and beepable noses for you until that something comes along. *rips paper off and sends it cyberspacically to ButtaRumCake.

Now, to the Ham…Mwahh, beep, kisskiss, ahh, snorgle.

46 DogEared 11.17.09 at 3:54 pm

oh this is PERFECTION in so many ways.

47 kibblenibble 11.17.09 at 8:29 pm

Mango looks like she/he is wearing blush in picture # 1.

48 Agent 99 11.17.09 at 10:25 pm

Luff the mango!

49 Subhangi 11.17.09 at 10:45 pm

SQUEEEEE!!! She IS the same colour as a Mango!

50 Subhangi 11.17.09 at 10:45 pm

Oh, and *smoooch* on the second pic!

51 KatieZ 11.18.09 at 1:00 am

The second pic would be even more amazing if available in 3D.

52 rubber duck 11.18.09 at 3:50 am

Well he certainly looks a lot like mango.

53 Valerie 11.18.09 at 7:10 am

He will give you his smooch of approval.

54 Katrina 11.18.09 at 1:04 pm

Wend- niiiice-where did you get the prescription pad? It sounds so official. May I have an magic CO prescription pad, too? I promise I’ll be very careful with it.

55 I Love Hamsters 11.18.09 at 3:59 pm

i have a hamster and he is as cute as him i’ll have 2 download them someday

56 Mary (the first) 11.18.09 at 5:11 pm

He’s adorabuhls but I would have named him Jimmy Durante.. for obvious reasons…

57 paula 11.19.09 at 12:33 am

58 Jackie 11.19.09 at 5:41 am

59 AJM1125 11.19.09 at 6:42 am

What a handsome little boy!

60 Susan 11.23.09 at 7:06 pm

Luminescent translucent earsies! Or as my daughter and I used to say to our hammies, “wrinkle pinkle ears!”
