No P!
Whenever I see “hampster” I think of a hamster that lives in a clothes hamper.
At least people have started to realize that “cow-orker” has gotten old, regardless of the Dilbert.
Cool it, man…no need to hampmer the point home. You’ll pull a hampstring. Just relax there in the hampmock, and I’ll bring ya a nice hampburger for lunch…or maybe fry up some hamp and eggs. This weekend you can come up to my summer cottage, near a pleasant little hamplet in New Hamshire.
Not in the Hamtons?
Ha. You guys are so quick to jump to conclusions. For your information, I did not spell “hamster” incorrectly. It was supposed to be “gremlin” but my finger slipped. Now apologize.
Pfft… I know how to spell “hamster”

Ohhh… It’s not just you, mske. I’ve seen literally thousands of occurrences of this lately. And I never, ever exaggerate.
Heck, I even saw a moderator do it. Can you imagine? They should be held to a much higher spelling standard.
It is so spelled ‘hampster’ if, as NightRabbit can tell you, you’re an alumni of Hampshire College. 
Like I said in another thread where the word was misspelled:
Maybe the people who spell it “hampster” are unduly influenced by that incredibly cheesy song “The Hamster Dance” by “Hampton the Hamster” that came put a couple of years ago?

I just had a flashback to a grade school science fair project I had done on the effect of nutrition on intelligence. I fed hamsters a series of diets deficient in various vitamins and ran them through mazes. Maybe I should have tested myself too; it wasn’t until the fair had started that I realized that in all of my written material - including the large sign over my display - I had spelled it hampsters.
uh, sorry, Ike, but I believe it’s spelled “sumpmer”
that is all -

And it’s not pidgeons, dammit, it’s pigeons. And refrigerator, not refridgerator!
Well, let’s not attack Fort Sumpter over this issue!
Poly’s back! A week without posting and I was starting to worry about you. (I started threads in MPSIMS and at the Parlor asking if anyone knew where you were.)
I think our language needs more gratuitous O’s.
The quiock brown fox juomped ovoer the laozy dog.
We’ll add the o’s as soon as people drop their e’s: “Ye Olde Countrye Shoppe.”
The dog is one with the Tao, and thus desires nothing - not even brown foxes.
I think “dumpster.” But those would be rats, wouldn’t they?
Yes, but it’s pronounced “Throatwarbler Mangrove.”
(Or is that four m’s and a silent q?)

Something I found out a while ago:
www.hamsterdance.com and www.hampsterdance.com are both the same website.
And they spell it with a P in both of them.
