Maybe we could look into replacing the hamsters with the Great Gerbil. China evidently has quite a surplus, I’d bet they’d let us have them for shipping and handling:
And just look at these spec’s!
Why they could even be trained to let jdavis know when to replace one. Imagine! A self-diagnosing, redundant, gerbil array! The SCMB would be the envy of all other message boards!
Not to be a spoilsport, but the last time we imported a batch of rodents we all got monkeypox.
And China is especially bad, because they misname animals.
Their “lesser panda” is not a small bear, but a huge raccoon.
You think cuddly bamboo eater, and get dumpster-diving pests escaping into every trailer park!
