Comically Large Things

Oh, I love hamsters. They are so cute! Some of them are excellent drivers, as well, when you get them a little motorized car that is the right size for their legs.

I’ll never forget Timmy, my first hamster. Boy, that hamster could drive. And he made up the most amazing stories, too! The nights we would stay awake late, talking and imagining a better world …

… wait just one damned minute here … does that say it’s bacon-flavored Diet Coke? OMIGOD. I thought they stopped making that years ago!

I had one of these pretend doctor’s kits when I was a kid. It was cheap black plastic and it kinda hurt your fingers to open the snap on the top. Inside was a plastic stethoscope, and a little plastic hammer that you were supposed to hit people on the knees with, and some plastic glasses.

OH CRAP, I’m all nostalgic for my lost youth now. I’d better stay away from eBay until the feeling passes, or I’ll end up buying another Rick Springfield record.
