Hamster Month Continues on Brainpan Leakage…
Image Copyright © M. R. Sellars – This is likely to be the single most twisted and bizarre “Merp The Tech Hamster” toon ever. It looks innocuous on the surface, but when you know the story behind it, there is a bit of weirdness factor like you wouldn’t believe. As I mentioned before, Phyllis metaphorically played the character of “Doctor Shirley Knot,” Merp’s arch nemesis. There had never been any real explanation behind why she was his nemesis, or even why he had a nemesis to begin with, other than the fact that it gave me something to “draw about”… At any rate, in one of Phyllis’s far more darkly humored moods, she mentioned something about baby hamsters on a plate with cocktail sauce – ala shrimp cocktail. Yeah… Kind of “ewww-bizarre-funny-ewww” all at the same time, I know.
Either way, that little snippet ran through my head and by proxy, Merp’s head too. And so, as he “remembered” the plate of baby hamsters with cocktail sauce he had a Eureka moment that finally explained the adversarial relationship between the two of them.
More to come…

I think the Ew factor predominates in this one, but only after explanation! Me lubs me sum Merp, though. He is one twisted sister.
Hope the rest of your weekend is gentle, Murv, before you have to dive back into your word processor.

Yeah, definitely some Ewwww going on there. LOL!
Heading out to ES in a bit. Then, finishing an email interview this afternoon and sending it off. After that, maybe some more ‘Lympics… 🙂
