This is not a threat. It's a warning....

[alfreda89]

All right. Remembering the threats of singing bass past, I feel it's necessary to point this out to not only my siblings but to all I call friend and colleague.

A joke is all well and good, but I do not want to see an animatronic trophy buck head under my holiday tree.

Especially not one that's singing the theme song to "Rawhide"....

OMG I saw this thing today - what are these people thinking? On the other hand the company doee make singing hamsters...

[alfreda89.livejournal.com]

The danger is when they're 90% off--then my Dad buys them and wires them up to say different things. He's expecially weak about holiday things--remembers those great Marshall Field's windows, I guess...

No buck, right. check.

No bass either.


How do you feel about...frogs?

I rescue them from my swimming pool occasionally!

Silly person. Watch your step--I can get a singing Christmas Tree for five bucks, they've been around for years... .

Heh, and for nearly as long there have been plans on the 'net to subvert them into Halloween props with skulls and new soundtracks...

I have to agree, the seasonal hamsters are just darling.. and I have been tempted to buy them and give them as gifts, I just dont know how the Post Office handles singing packages.. and I would hate to have to gut the battery out of them because the receipient might not put it back together properly.

I have heard rumors of the hamsters, but not seen them, so in all honesty I should wait until I see them before pronouncing sentence.

[martianmooncrab.livejournal.com]

I see them at the drug stores and at Freddy's .. all dressed in their seasonal fare.. or faire? anyways, each one does a specific song for their little costume. The Ninja Hamster did Kung Fu Fighting. I havent yet seen what the Xmas ones do.. guaranteed that they are carols and suchlike.

The Ninja Hamster did Kung Fu Fighting.

Somehow, this feels very wrong.

Naked mole rats, now--they rock!

I didnt see the Hamsters today, but I saw a duck/chick dressed as a christmas tree and a santa, and a tree, they all made music if you pressed them.

Dancing singing xmas trees.. oh my.

Of all the many, many dancing hamsters I have seen, the Kung-Fu Fighting hamster (it twirls its nunchuck when it isn't disco dancing) is the one that makes me smile every time.

[alfreda89.livejournal.com]

And these few standouts are why I think they keep coming up with the things. Even the Chritstmas tree with its huge google eyes hidden under pine needle lids made me smile the first few times I saw it.

Damn! Now what am I gonna get you?

[alfreda89.livejournal.com]

Not doing holidays this year, too broke. Buying penicillin instead. Hamsters for drugs, now there's a thought...

[oliana0.livejournal.com]

Dang it. Guess I better return it. ;)

Give it to Edwin, he'll make a Haunted Trails prop out of it.

(This suddenly makes me think of the classic commercial..."Give it to Mikey, he'll eat anything!")

Rats! I wonder if I can get my money back..... *g*

I've been hearing this a lot. Clearly, we must come up with someone who would enjoy receiving this thing.

In fact, who would enjoy receiving multiples of this thing...
