In recent months this blog has tended to stray just a bit from it’s original intention of being something that I mostly want to have fun with. Therefore I am not a hamster will be returning to pursuing that goal somewhat more than I have been of late. I started to think that with the elections are over it’ll be a bit easier to come up with lighter, funnier stuff but frankly, it’s never really TOO difficult.

But that, my friends is the blessing, the curse that was avoided is something that online oldtimers will remember from years back. It was in the form of an email that made the rounds several times. It also got posted on countless newsgroups and forums. The content was something that made car buyers shiver and think “God I hope that isn’t gonna happen”.

I don’t normally pass on forwards but this one is too good not to. It’s one of those things that comes out of the collision of conspiracy theories and a good sense of humor.

I am not a hamster and it’s a good thing because I’d be a lot of them. To illustrate that point I’ll explain why I’m one of those folks that could well be interested in reading things like Fenterdren reviews.
Then, just for the heck of it, I did some research and found that the [...]

I’m in one of those stranger moods and I’ve just had an appropriately strange thought. Naturally I figured the most logical thing to do was to inflict said strangeness on you, the unsuspecting reader.

Here’s a giggle for you. Last year there were some 9,999 drivers in North Carolina who were issued license plates that had “WTF” as the first three characters.

My mentioning lawns in a recent post about puppies reminds me of something weird. The house next to ours had the lawn mowed today. This is in and of itself a strange thing in and of itself because that particular yard gets cut *maybe* twice a year. This morning it was at [...]

I was stumbing again (is it just me or is it habit forming?) ran across a page full of some classic tech support humor. The Computer literate and tech / geek types will get a good chuckle out of it at the very least.
Now I am not a hamster, I’m fully aware that at [...]

This is another gem that I got from a stumble. It’s from one of those things that appeared in a 1950 issue of Popular Mechanics and was attempting to describe what life would be like in 2000.
However I am not a hamster, not only did they miss the mark by quite a [...]

It’s that time of year again. Time to do a serious spring cleaning of my desk and the surrounding area. My desk is… not exactly the neatest thing you’ve ever seen (not that you’re going to! some things I’m not going to picture online! ). I’ve got all manner of things in, [...]
