This hamster video is now my happy place. It’s where I’ll go when I need to laugh til I cry.

I love the smell of sawdust in the morning.

Yep, that’s what I look like when I eat spaghetti, too.

It was Hamateur Night down at the Squeaky Wheel. The pay was peanuts really. Yet every cab driver with the ten-spot to get his horn out of hock took his turn in the shadows of Parker and Gillespie.  A beady-eyed quartet I had seen lining up outside earlier shuffled onto the stage; with luck, they’d only butcher a few numbers before slinking away in shame.

This is the hamster version of a fraternity stunt. The other hamster is chanting, “Pouch! Pouch! Pouch!”

“Oh hi there. Umm yeah… Totally not what it looks like. Didn’t think you’d be home so early!”
