Nobody's forgotten the humble hamster, we're just all afraid to utter its name in fear of waking it...

Ever wonder how much hamster there is in spam? Ick!

Hans, ya Hun..came at us from out of the sun.

I hate to say it, but I never saw that one!

(who says these posts can't rhyme.)

 

I thought Hans had been too quiet... he was just watching us all, circling & waiting to pounce. I hate to say it, but I've never seen this either. We've been schooled by von Hammer! Bow Down

Been wantin' a reason to post this... Danke, meine Herren!

No No Vance, you have picked the stick up by the wrong end here, the real question is;

How much spam is in a hamster.

Hamsters & Guinea Pigs are hand reared in specialised farms in Peru & Bolivia for the sole purpose of making spam - where did you really think spam came from? Many people are under the impression that it arrives tinned to us courtesy of the pig, but that is just urban legend. I know this to be true as I have worked in the spam industry for several years & have even seen the spam farms first hand!

This guy thought he could hide;

This guy thought he could make a stand;

Some of the sympathisers have even gone to extreme measures;

But they all end up the same way - ready for processing;

And in the final product;

Thank you rodents.

Hey, that first hamster wasn't hiding, it was being grown there, already pre-tinned. Just like tuna. Big Smile

FYI, I'm now boycotting Spam in all its forms due to the cruel rodent farming practices which have just been exposed. (I had previously boycotted it based solely on its taste & appearance!)

I saw on a different post that Konigswolf discovered he got much more modeling done when his computer was unavailable and he wasn't on the FSM forums etc... can't imagine how that makes any sense! Must be a southern hemisphere kinda thing!!!

I'd love to see more modern armor in 1/48 scale. It would go great with dioramas. Like my MV-22 Osprey. It eats cats!!

Since this thread is duty bound to change subject at immediate notice;

I say new armour releases - possibly, but what  we really need are some gargantuan new releases in 1/72, C-5, Globemaster, An-124, An-225, A380....................... you know the sort.

It is definitely duty-bound to change at a moments notice, so long as it changes back to something completely unrelated to the original topic. Which was, uhh, anybody?...

OK, so me & a mate are talking years ago about a friend (who wasn't present to advise) who had lost an eye in accident. A "hanger on" in the conversation says "what to you think he thinks he sees through the eye he doesn't have anymore".

I suggest that he thinks he sees black, as in my mind black is what you see when there is no light. My mate quickly corrects me, saying that he sees "nothing" & not black.

My argument is that black or nothing are pretty much the same, hence I say if he were to perceive anything it would be black.

The said one eyed freind moved to Ireland shortly after this conversation & in the following years has not been available for the ultimate answer!

What is the difference between nothing & perceived black?

 

 

 

More importantly how do the potted hamsters feel about it?

I wouldn't worry about it Aaron - I have had them in my brain (without any noticeable let-up) since I was a violent, vandalistic teenager (wonder why that was?).

Pretty much unbeatable humor in my books!!

I feel obligated to speak on behalf of the potted hamsters. My opinion... I think it eventually changes. At first, after being able to see with both eyes you would perceive black. After some time I think your brain would get used to seeing with one eye & not really try to register colour or lack of colour... so then you would see nothing.

Wow, when did this thread get so deep?

Guys - when I saw one of the boss geezers on this post I thought he was going to chop it on the grounds of nonsense or animal cruelty or CO2 output or something - relief!

Oh no, we've attracted the attention of "the authorities". Mr Skinner, I do need to remind you that this thred is in the "general" category. And it's also been a riot from the start, possibly worth featuring in an upcoming issue of FSM!!

Let's see: We've got Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, and The Young Ones in a thread. In my book, killing it would be sacrilege. Toast

We're you expecting some kind of Spanish Inquisition?
