      What is a ‘hamster’ in this context? I don’t even understand what he is objecting to.

      Not that it really matters, I guess.

        I’ma guess a hamster is a vegetarian – someone who nibbles on a celery stick.

        Hamster—-this was a big thing in the early to mid 80s. One gay man presented at a NYC hospital with a hamster up his ass. I wouldn’t really have knowledge of this, but apparently, if you stick small rodents where they really don’t belong, you can get all kinds of sensations from the furry little fellows clawing to get out.
        The problem was, he and his partner couldn’t get the hamster out, so they had to go to the hospital.

        So it became this widespread thing that all gays put hamsters (or gerbils) up their butts. This man I know returned from an overseas trip and became quite ill. As in, he was already sick when he got off the plane, it got a lot worse in the next 24 hours, he went to the hospital, where he disclosed that yes, in fact, he is gay. The doctor insisted that he must have gotten some disease from sticking a hamster up his ass, even though my friend adamantly insisted that he had never and would never stick a hamster up his ass, nor did he know anyone who did so. The doctor was trying to get him committed as insane because he wouldn’t admit that he had been squeezing hamsters between the ol’ butt cheeks, so he was clearly in denial, because EVERYONE knew that all gay men stick hamsters up their butts. (Yes, this is a true story, boys and girls. You cannot fathom the depths to which misogyny and homophobia took us.)

        I posted a CL ad with a subject line of “I Like To Be Miserable”. It was kind of a spoof on all those “I like to have fun” things. (And that differentiates you from the other 6.5 billion people on the planet HOW????) I pointed out that one person’s joy is another person’s purgatory.

        Got a lot of good responses, but then someone flagged it. WTF???

      The only intriguing guy was the older dude who admitted, “I’m not having fun doing this!”

      He’s probably dead now.

      Classic example of why I will have absolutely, ABSOLUTELY *nothing* to do with dating sites, EVER.

      They’re full of idiotic ugly guys like this who somehow think they’re too good for any chick who’s over 30 and/or weighs more than 150 pounds. I wouldn’t touch any of these guys if they paid me a million dollars and thought I was totally hot shit! And I doubt if I’m the only female who feels that way.

      Great montaging work though!

        You’re not being specific enough – how tall is this chick who weighs the 150? To be fair, it might be more than just guys on dating websites who object.

      I didn’t pay attention to the time, but “Mike” reminded me of Weird Al’s ‘Fat’ video for some reason…

      One of those guys looks a lot like my dad….*shudder*

      Happily, he’s never been to L.A, otherwise I’d have to wash my brain out with soap…

      I’m just checking back in to see if anyone knows what a ‘hamster’ is. Nobody…? I’d say the vegetarian thing is a good guess, though.

      The guy @ 00:43 looks, sounds and acts just like a guy who was the manager of one of our stores. If it weren’t for the fact this was probably 20 years ago, I’d call him up and ask if his video worked. :D
