    What an agent, what a Ham
    He’s got the country in a jam!
    What’s his name?
    Shhh…Secret Ham!

    He’s got tricks, under his ‘tocks,
    Most bad guys, will jump off the docks!
    A nerve gas tail, twin cannon ears,
    Machine gun teeth with a rat tat tat tat!

    (most humble apologies to Secret Squirrel!) :-)

    It’s not just hamsters–my sister has a cat who knows how to hang up the phone (land line) and my dog can tell by the tone of my voice whom I am speaking to on the phone. It’s true.

    I must phone this information through
    “Hello
    sueek eek squeeker eek eek
    Pardon
    sueek eek squeeker eek eek
    who is this
    sueek eek eek
    damned prank callers, I am hanging up and squeek eek to you sir.

    Another hair-raising adventure for the Thin Ham, as written by Dashiell Hammett.

  15. kat says:

    ok squishy is the best name for a hamster :) or, actually i do love Mr. Squishykins McWhiskery Nubbinpantz :D

    well my ham probably got fired ’cause his only reports were of me frequently going in the wrong direction with automated answering services :p that and leaving long awkward voicemails where i sound half perky, half nervous and say umm and uh too much haha

  16. Katrina says:

    Yes, I think a little Nat King Cole would be a great soundtrack…good call (snerk).
    Very classy!

    260-yet again, I salute you!

  17. Kar says:

    What an absolutely luscious, lovely color.

  18. I think I see a children’s book that needs to be written here about a hamster spy. Didn’t the gerbils already have their turn with a movie?

    In the aftermath of the notorious iPhone 4 reception snafu, Apple engineers scramble to test the latest in Hamtenna technology.

  22. Colonel Jenna says:

    How can that guy keep that hard plastic thing to his ear, when he could grab that golden hunk of Squishy-ness and hold it close? What whispered sweet nothings over the phone could compare to a whiskered nose being poked up the ear canal?

    “Squishy” is a perfect name for a hamster.

    While “Squishy” is a cute name, I suggest “Niblets.”
