A few years ago I started a Christmas tradition with my co-worker and began giving him dancing hamsters. I also have two which were given to me on my window ledge here at the office. Kung Fu Fighting Hampster, the funniest of them all, had depleted his batteries. I told my engineer that he could transfer the batteries from one not so cute or funny hamster. He did that and as I sat at my desk working on extremely important official business, he skinned said rodent and presented it to me in 2 pieces. It was hilarious but equally disturbing. Should I suggest to Human Resources that he undergo a psychological evaluation? I am kidding about that but the naked, voiceless hamster is truly macabre.
You will note the picture. We used a camera phone to capture it Olan Mills style complete with background.
I, too, was recently presented with a zombie dancing hamster. As a rodentophile, I found this particularly heinous. My husband explained that the 'skin' came off and then he lost it before he had a chance to glue it back. Particularly freaky was seeing it happily sing and dance naked.
