Very cute but I gasped out loud when the hamster fell off the keyboard. It’s a good thing the owner put him back or I’d be posting exclamation points right now. And it was kinda mean from him to take away the popcorn. That popcorn looked good! It’s a good thing he gave it back. ---

This has been making me laugh to tears all day… I’ve watched it over and over. It’s gone viral, with 4 million hits, and after today’s Huffpost link, gone ayond with hamster funs. I guess, that after all the heavy crap news lately, the simple fun of this is great. I do wonder about the musician, though, and how this came about. “OK, this li’l hamster eats popcorn on his back, and doesn’t care about much at all…”
