Tribbles Are Real!

Introducing a brand-new species: the Beady-eyed Hamslug (blorpus redonkulous), a blob of fur that oozes along the ground and eats things. Although legless, the mouth of the Beady-eyed Hamslug has arm-like appendages to push food into its mouth.

Once it feeds, the Beady-eyed Hamslug travels at super-speed, devouring everything in its path. (thanks to sender-inner Faye)

    Kind of a furry Roomba

    It’s a furry Roomba!

    Great minds think alike – I thought it looked like a mini vacuum! And I love the “scientific” name.

    How does it keep from exploding?

    • Faye November 7, 2018 / 4:19 pm

      That’s what I thought. It’s gonna blow!

        Maybe a wafer thin mint?

    I shall name it Hoover. I think this model is bagless and self emptying. Good deal if you can ignore the constant sucking sounds.

    That was fast Mike!

    If these videos keep being made, that hamster is going to be the size of a capybara.

    Thanks, Faye and Mike. I needed that.
    Eye problem back, prednisone back. Unofficial diagnosis is sarcoidosis.
    My optimism is negative.

      I’m so sorry, Duckie. That’s awfully discouraging. Do try not to give way to negativity any more than you can help. (I’m the queen of negativity myself, which is how I know how debilitating that can be.)

      I’m sorry. I looked sarcoidosis up on the Mayo Clinic site and part of what it said was “[t]here is no cure for sarcoidosis, but most people do very well with little or only modest treatment.” A bit cheering?

    • Faye November 7, 2018 / 10:07 pm

      Duckie I knew someone With Sarcoidosis. He did well. I retired so do not know any current details.

    • Catwhisperer November 8, 2018 / 10:35 am

      My mom has sarcoidosis and also had to be on prednisone for a long time. However, she’s been off of it for about 10 years now, and the sarcoidosis is in remission. Never lose hope!!

    Sorry about your news, Duckie.

    If this ham’s eyes were blue, I’d think it had been eating spice. What a riot! It’s like a hoverham.

    I do love the “airport security” gate he goes through. And the callipygian view with legs akimbo.
