Bono Joins The Family


Oh, sure…they look all cute and fluffy. But, do you know what your hamsters are doing when the lights go out at night?

When I woke up this morning, I caught Jason's new hamster Bono hanging out with a couple of white lab mice. I couldn’t help but hear their conversation.

“Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?” one of the mice asked the apparent ringleader.

“The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!” the one with the big head announced.

The first mouse responded with, “Narf!” (That must be some sort of rodent code for, “Kill all humans.”)

Bono was cheering them on, shooting his little rifle up in the air. “Jihad! Jihad!” he was yelling over and over.

Yeah, he looked a little shocked when I snatched him up. He tried to play it off, saying that he was going deer hunting with his friends. Like I’d fall for that one!

I’ve banished him to the wheel. He’ll spend the rest of his life running and running but getting nowhere. That’ll show him!

Are you sure you haven't disciplined a large portion of the population? Seems there are many spending their life running and running and getting nowhere! Thanks for the glimpse into your growing family. I look forward to more of the New Adventures of Pinky and the Brian, guest starring, Bono!

The ability to shoot straight and give a solid guttural battle cry are prerequisites to joining the family.
