Good luck, we’re all counting on you

by Meg on December 6, 2009

Your mission is clear, little Ham.

Roll into the kitchen, procure yogurt drops, and roll back.

It’s simple.

We’ll be waiting for you.

DON’T MESS IT UP!

GO KRYSTLE C.!!!

Roll, hammy, roll!!!

2 Queen of Dork 12.06.09 at 4:26 pm

You can do it!!!

3 Wend 12.06.09 at 4:34 pm

Hammy may have to empty those cheek pouches before… oh, wait, I get it! THAT’S where all those mission impossible agents hold all their gear that you can never see that they have in those tight fitting black/leather/denim outfits of theirs until they need it and presto, hey, it’s in their hands.

*takes deep breath*

Oh, I am so glad that mystery is solved!
Go, Hammy, go!

This is ground control to Major Ham.

GODSPEED, MOON HAMSTER

DON’T LEAVE THE CAPSULE, LITTLE HAM!!!!

I’m hearing the Mission: Impawsible [classic TV, not pocket Tom Cruise] theme music.
Dah nah NAAAAA – Na Nah!

12 happycat 12.06.09 at 5:02 pm

rollin’, rollin’,
rollin’ on the river…..

13 nycat 12.06.09 at 5:14 pm

Or, you could take the subway like Eddie the Hamster…

14 earlybird1 12.06.09 at 5:34 pm

Looks like a jack ‘o hamster in that orange ball! :)

In pic 2, it looks like he’s saying “For God’s sake, get me out of here!” Perhaps a similar expression was on the face of those cosmonauts who supposedly got one-way trips into orbit before Yuri Gagarin.

16 Katrina 12.06.09 at 5:56 pm

I will forever call him “pocket Tom Cruise”.

Hey I’m learning how to make hover type – wish me good luck, or Godspeed or whatever this takes….

Do loves them hammies! Thanks for the extreme closeup, I feel better already.

17 jen 12.06.09 at 6:25 pm

18 Arielle 12.06.09 at 6:27 pm

Godspeed? What’s that, 45?

that ham looks like he’s carrying the whole world in his cheeks.

19 AmyJ 12.06.09 at 6:39 pm

Hammy’s cheeks are full, maybe he completed the mission safely and is emerging from the pumpkin capsule to deliver (or hide) the yogurt drops? Yay brave Hammy, my hero!!

20 Mud Bug 12.06.09 at 7:13 pm

Rollin’ , Rollin’ , Rollin’….. keep those hammies rollin’ raw-HAMMMMMMM !!!

I love the dialogue between Meg (the text) and hammy (the hypertext). Perfectly written.

Peek-a-boo!

27 Blondie 12.07.09 at 4:57 am

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the hammy
The monkey stopped to pull up his sock
POP goes the hammy!

28 Monterri 12.07.09 at 5:21 am

Little does hammy know that this is only a -training mission-, to test his courage (it’s not real!). If he can go without his helmet, and if he can overcome his fear of cats, then he can proceed to the next level, wherein there will be cats, bats, and rat-ta-ta-tats.

29 Von Zeppelin 12.07.09 at 5:35 am

Resriechan, I believe it was Teri Garr who rolled in the hay in “Young Fronkensteen.”

30 Rachael 12.07.09 at 5:39 am

The beady hammy eyes are piercing my very soul.

31 Saffron 12.07.09 at 6:49 am

..the next 007!!

There’s a ham who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets says “hey feed me, stranger!”
With every seed he gets, he still worries and he frets
That he will get no more noms til tomorrow

Secret agent HAM, secret agent HAM!
They’ve given you a wheel, but taken away your grapes

Beware of all the fake seeds you will find
A muzzle powsche can still be filled with some yummy rind
Ah, be careful what you nom
Stay frosty and remain calm
Odds are you will find enough corn to last till tomorrow

Secret agent Ham!, secret agent Ham!
They’ve given you some pellets and given you a comfy straw bed

32 kittyadventures 12.07.09 at 7:40 am

Hammy is in the orange ball of Fabulousness!

33 Gledwood 12.07.09 at 7:43 am

I had 3 roborovski hamsters till a few months ago… then they all died of old age. Now I’ve a huge empty cage, wheels standing idle. Very sad. Gotta get another hammy and soon…

34 MissKitty 12.07.09 at 8:29 am

Surely you can’t be serious, NOMTOM. ;)

What a cutie… I miss my hammies and their full speed demolition derby ball runs into walls and each other.

35 resriechan 12.07.09 at 8:36 am

@ VZ (re. your #29): me= “Yipes!!!”

This has been yet another episode of Mea Culpa.
Tune in tomorrow, when we will feature “D’OH!!!”

(Mahalia Jackson voice)
I’ve got the whooooooooooooole world
In my cheeks
I’ve got the whooooooooooooole world
In my cheeks
I’ve got the whooooooooooooole world
In my cheeks!

38 Blondie 12.07.09 at 11:44 am

@ Saffron #31: Excellent… :-)

39 Me 12.07.09 at 1:21 pm

Speachless? No, momma taught him not to talk with food in his mouth. =;D

40 Meg 12.07.09 at 3:13 pm

@NTMTOM, you stole my line! (er, link.)

Nice.

41 KatieZ 12.07.09 at 9:55 pm

Give me Ham on five, hold the mayo.
