What you get when you cross-breed a clothes hamper with a hamster,
Alex?

Do hampsters eat pumkins?
(Actually "hampster" is a variation accepted by the OED, and appeared
in print in the 1895 Spectator. They also accept "hamester".
The earliest known use of the word in its more normal spelling is from
1607, when Edward Topsell wrote in "The historie of foure-footed
beastes" this immortal phrase: "The skins of Hamsters are very
durable".)

Indeed. That ubiquitous gray upholstery found in autos from the 1930s
and 40s is often referred to as "mouse fur". The hamster fur would have
been the deluxe model. Now, gerbil fur, we don't discuss in a family
forum.

What is more, I pronounce the "p."

I won't be satisfied until they make a wildly-popular "March of the
Hamsters" documentary.
Yes, I'm envious. What of it?

Hey at least you don't have to deal with web sites inviting you to poke
the penguin or, worse, to control a yeti with a club who hits the
penguin as far as he can.
Plus, you've got the hampsterdance.

Moleskin used to mean the real thing, now it is a fabric. One spelling
is Moleskine, although I think that refers to a particular company's
fake moleskin.
Now, mole drumsticks, now we're talking Thanksgiving! Pass the tiny
little plate of dressing.

On yesterday's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Roy Blount Jr. explained the
difference between a hamster and a gerbil:
The hamster has more dark meat.

Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
It's summer, the darkies are gay...
I don't know whether to be flattered to be mentioned in a song (even though
they think I'm plural), or annoyed at the assumption about my sexual
preferences.
