Strange things you're not used to

some peoples lives are only complete if there's a dog (or 2) in it.

My life would be complete if I had a mooseburger slathered with treacle. Si, man.

My life would be complete when it's over.

I wouldn't say it makes me complete only if I have one, but getting a dog is definitely on the list of things to do when I move to the US... I've lived with pets all my life and found it extremely hard when I moved towns.. ended up getting a hamster to look after. It's not pathetic, I just have a natural pull towards caring for animals and my life is better with them, overall.

but did you have a pool party for your hamster and all his friends?

[Gemmie 142]

No, but in one of the books I read about caring for a hamster, it DID specify (with pcitures!) that you should not put your hamster into a toy boat and put it into the tub!

Just in case you were considering!!

Ohmygoodness, I remember watching Hammy the Hamster tooling around in a radio-controlled motorboat! It was a Canadian kids show and I loved it. Tried to find a pic of that segment but this is all I could come up with:

Now I know what most of you are thinking. Just how entertaining can some rodents on a riverbank be? Well the charm lay not in the animals themselves but the props and the sets that they were put in. The animals lived in nifty houses, such as GP's mill with the water wheel and Hammy's boot house. The houses were fully furnished with rodent-sized furniture. Then, to make things extra exciting, Sutherland and Ellison would stuff the animals in remote control vehicles - such as motor boats and jeeps and planes and such.

Ooooh, I used to love that show. We had it in the UK and I had no idea it was Canadian. I think it was called 'Tales from the Riverbank' or something similar. I've come over all nostalgic.

I'll bring the Hamster Yummies!

I'm leaving in the morning, Julez. That'll have me in your area around Friday about 5:00pm or so. Going to hit the Wegman's before I cross the border. I'll give you a call (or you can call me) and we can try to hook up. If not, I'll catch you on the return trip, or sometime during my stay.

That's it! Oh, thank God someone else has seen it. You kind of feel an idiot talking about power-boating hamsters when no one's ever heard of them.

Are Hamster Yummies like Weetabix? Can we cover them with treacle? Si, man?

The second one was cute. The first one was kinda creepy.

Yes! You should try some! They would be treacle-covered goodness. Yum.

We used to watch Hammy Hamster all the time. I liked GP the best.

Yanno what I can't get used to down here? I dunno if they do this in other parts of the US, but for some unfathomable reason, "evening" starts at around 10AM here! I'm serious! Everyone starts saying "have a good evening" before lunchtime even! And they'll say stuff like "I have to go over to such and such this evening, around 1pm or so" It hurts my brain it does. Evening is after 6pm at least! There's no "afternoon" here. We go straight from elevenses to evening.

weirdness...
