[the hamster] Ok listen here you little Doper chumps; Evey time this board slows down even one micro sec. y’all begin to whine:“whaaa the hamsters must be getting tired” Well let me tell you something; there aint no _hamsters_ on this board its only me! so back the hell off! Why I even bother to spend 24-7 on this firck’n wheel beats the hell outa me. Why don’t you computer geeks get out or your mom’s basement that you’re living in and give me a break already?![the hamster] a wheezing out of breath hamster gets back on the wheel ---

I shall fear no Og. Although, if I did fear Og, you’d probably never hear about it. uhm… I just go back to not complaining. ::quietly spirits off the quasi-satanic, very dim guinea pig who had been his stand in lately:: ---

I can’t say it enough behind my breath. Would people SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE GOD-DAMNED HAMSTER ALREADY??? Talk about old and annoying…good God folks, it was cute the first 300 times we heard about the GOD-DAMNED HAMSTER, after the 1,000,015th time it’s FUCKING OLD. The server needs work, the pipeline needs a boost, the database needs to be archived, but the mythical HAMSTER is old fucking news. Get over it. Geesuz Kreeerist. ---

Agreed with techchick, it’s getting as irritating as “Hi Opal” (which fortunately seems to be dying out) and threads that start with “In which…”. No offense to Opal of course. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-hamster-has-had-it/129246.md?page=2)
