Got a new hamster at the weekend and he needs a name.

Front runners are:
Dr Zoidberg and Picard.

Any ideas on what to call the furry little guy? He has a brown head and a white back and is kinda speckly. He enjoys playing tennis and the theatre.

I like Big-nose.

The hard thing is the final say is up to my girlfriend who has a total veto. The last ones were called Indy and Anna :)

i looked after a friend's hampster called that. it was a strange little hamster, it had a really strange saggy arse, like its stomach had slipped down a bit. but the little bastard had a rota cage- i was so jelous.

how about Big-Ears?
or Dave.

he does have big ears. I like Gary but a guy at work is called that so it's a no no.

Snickers is good but I think my girlfriend had one called that before. Maybe phonebone, chopper or dennis.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 16:47, 24th February 2003:
 
Well fucking hell, why dont you just call it "Marathon" and eat the little desert rat.

Oh! Call it Arsehole - please, its such a good name!

Little furry arsehole..
Posted by ilovebeerme, 16:55, 24th February 2003:
 
Pretty sure it wont be arsehole and I probably won't eat him either.

Marvin is quality and shall be suggested at home.

Hey, Gary gets his own mention in the About page - Can I get a 'Don't feed Matt' or something?
Posted by cal, 13:39, 25th February 2003:
 
nope. gary gets it because he's "special"
Posted by chandler, 13:48, 25th February 2003:
 
yeah but it is almost rewarding him for being "Special"
Posted by Gary, 14:09, 25th February 2003:
 
Don't take it to heart guys...

We're all "special" in one way or another! :P
Posted by donnie, 14:10, 25th February 2003:
 
be joyed that you are special, so fucking special...
Posted by Gary, 14:20, 25th February 2003:
