Who The Bloody Fuck Is Flogging the Hamsters?

Cut it out, damn it! The board's been running great for ages now, until tonight. Now, it's post, wait for the error message, check the thread in another window, wait for the error message, try again, find out post didn't go through, repost, wait, and so on. This is getting old, fast! And Hammie's tired!

But are hamsters white meat or dark meat? That's what I want to know.

I dunno, but I'm pretty sure they aren't kosher.

I've been here for about 2 years and still don't know the origins of the hamster thing. Could someone please explain it to me? Or is there nothing to explain, just one of those jokes that is and that's all?

The running joke is that the Dope runs so slow it must be powered by a hamster on a treadmill. Hence, board is slow hamster(s) must be overworked.

The internet has been powered by hamsters ever since Bill Slates of Bedrock licensed the DOH (Disk Operating Hamster) way back when.

I still think we could do with the sever being powered by a pissed off wolverine or two.

My guess is the "What was your first post?" thread in MPSISM; people are doing vanity searches on the entire database to see what it was.
