“Fearsome hamster fights off humans.”
One word. Chernobyl.
“Fearsome hamster fights off humans.”
Holy crap. That’s one badass rodent.
The Red Letter Media reviews are pretty good. I can recommend the reviews of the Star Wars prequels. I think there were nine parts to go through – each movie taking over an hour to review including little vignettes of the reviewers life. (Spoiler: he has women locked up in the basement who he forces to watch Star Wars.)

That hamster not only seems much harder than those guys but much smarter too. What other species would shoot footage of themselves being attacked by something so small? Highly embarassing…;)
I for one welcome our new hamster overlords.
I…WILL…HAVE…NIGHTMARES…TONIGHT ~~~
And now that little Tinkles has tasted human flesh…
I love the Sonoma County Humane Society strapline: “We encourage heavy petting” 🙂
The grass sculptures are nifty.
“Through these anthropomorphic and organic sculptures made of soil and wheat grass seeds, I strive to show that food, it’s origin, it’s transport, has an impact on us beyond its taste. The power inside it affects every organ of our body.”
Yeah, food tastes good and it helps us not die, too. Gotcha.
The grass sculptures are nifty. The sculptor is kinda a wackadoo, though.
lauraw,
Art rule #1: Never read the blurbs. They usually spoil it.
