. . . with the RealHamster!

With figures like those, a renewable power system based on this particular hamster technology would lead to a serious shortage of hamsters, so this could well be a good time to invest in both hamster futures, and buy shares in companies that offer serious hamster alternatives for those whose needs will no longer be served by a visit to a pet store.

Here's a link to a company whose shares might be about to skyrocket if this technology is adopted by (for example) the Chinese government. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I do have several of their fine products:

If you tell anyone about this, don't mention my name.

Even better: http://www.realhamster.com/

P.S. What about a skin like that from these?

Sorry, actually, that's my Intel chip. Noisy bugger.

Sorry, but anything with "hamster" in it makes me think of this:

RealHampster - Elastic flesh, luxurious fur, a cybernetic infrastructure

I'm ruined for life.

How did you guys find out about my hamsters?

Here.

Or at least Real hamster ...

Question: What sort of people buy REALHAMSTER?

REALHAMSTER customers include futurists, artists, animal lovers, film-makers, engineers, computer scientists, health-conscious types, housewives, househusbands you name it. We provide REALHAMSTERs to single men or women, couples seeking to spice up their sex lives, librarians looking for exotic bookends or anyone who is willing to pay outrageous sums of money for the ultimate buggering hamster (for whatever reason).

Question: Can I have a catalogue or more information mailed to me?

Sorry, we don't offer a printed catalogue. All useful information about REALHAMSTER is here, on these web pages. A printed catalogue would simply be a waste of dead trees.

Question: When will you offer a SHE-MALE REALHAMSTER?

We're not quite sure what such a critter would look like. Since, however, the willy and vaginal options are independent on all models, we should have no trouble coming up with your idea of a "SHE-MALE" REALHAMSTER. Please advise us of the relative positioning of the genitalia.

Question: What is the price for a REALHAMSTER?

The Standard REALHAMSTER with two entries is $3,999. The Deluxe three-entry REALHAMSTER is $4,249. Shipping is $50 within New Zealand. Complete information about ordering can be found on our ORDERS page.

Question: I read somewhere that you offered a less expensive sackcloth hamster. Where can I buy it?

Our sackcloth hamsters have been discontinued. They were extremely difficult to engineer and were nowhere near as popular as our fur fabric hamster our testing staff refuse to have anything to do with them. We will not resume engineering of sackcloth hamsters.

Question: Why do you charge so much for REALHAMSTER?

REALHAMSTER would probably be cheap at thrice the price. REALHAMSTER engineering is labour intensive and the component cost is high. We've bent over backwards to make REALHAMSTER affordable while keeping the high performance, realistic look-and-feel and lifelike flexibility our customers demand of the world's finest buggering hamster.

Question: Do you offer a payment plan?

Yes. To qualify for the playment plan, however, you must send us your firstborn. Our interest rate ranges between 11 and 22* percent per annum, depending on the result of an asset-test performed on your immediate family.

Question: Where else can I buy REALHAMSTER?

REALHAMSTER cannot be purchased from anywhere but a private sale or this web site.

Question: How are REALHAMSTERs shipped?

REALHAMSTERs are shipped by standard freight in a rugged cardboard box purporting to contain something innocuous such as a 20" Triniton monitor. The box has child-proof opening instructions and is sealed with brown packing tape. The box is a cube approximately 2'6" across and weighs about 60 lbs when packed. The hamster is buried deep inside the box in a pile of wood shavings.

Question: Can I customise the look of my hamster? Can you mill a custom hea

I'm a realhamster man myself...

Oh come on, have you ever seen a hamster that kills anything? It's got to be a joke. And by the way, what do you think of hamster porn?

Their weaknesses are: The human robot owners live long lives in perfect health, in stupendous luxury.

I love asimov.

Speaking of Asimov, doesn't honda's Asimo have the ability to see where you're pointing, and then go there? I heard Asimo units are working as receptionists where they've been leased.

also, there's products coming out now like Cindy Smart which uses a digital camera and OCR to read flashcards and teach 5 year old girls math and literacy skills.

and finally there is, of course realdoll.

so I guess what japan wants to do is merge all these technologies into the all purpose robots that we've been dreaming of. Don't worry about robots revolting though. Our AI people have made sure that they've internalised our world views as any good colonised labour force should. Check it out at WordNet - this is what future robots will think of humans and robots

Maybe not, but you can with a hamster.

Why not suprise your friends with a RealHamster?

The hamster is buried deep inside the box in a pile of wood shavings.

Question: Can I customise the look of my hamster? Can you mill a custom head or likeness from an AutoCAD file?

REALHAMSTER is a custom engineered hamster. You can select from a wide variety of colours and configurations on our ORDERS page. There are certain colours and features we don't yet offer. Sometimes we can handle requests for unusual colours or modifications to the cybernetics, but we don't design and build new cybernetics for single orders.

Question: I can't really visualise the critter I want from the the colour options listed. Could I send in a centerfold from What Hamster and let you sort out the colours instead?

Certainly. We can exactly reproduce fur colouring and styles from magazine pages, right down to the last halftone dot.

Question: Does the fur fabric have a foul odour?

No. REALHAMSTER's fur has a distinctive musky smell, just like the real thing. For added realism, the female models go into Extra Smelly Mode roughly once every four days.

Question: Does the fur have a foul flavour?

No. Expert hamster-tasters all over the world agree that REALHAMSTER is representative of the world's finest tasting hamsters.

Question: What if I don't fit with REALHAMSTER's sex parts?

REALHAMSTER's oral, vaginal and anal cavities are independently adjustable to snugly accommodate any willy up to 7" in length and 5*" in circumference without the need for duct tape. REALHAMSTER's passages are computer controlled and hydraulically adjusted 50 times a second to maintain a lifelife feel for any willy for which the REALHAMSTER is calibrated. The willy profile is securely encrypted and stored on a robust MEPROM. REALHAMSTER's adjustment procedure is easy:
Erase the MEPROM Place the REALHAMSTER in a microwave, set the power to maximum and the cooking time to one minute. Allow to cool for two minutes afterwards.
Choose an orifice and lubricate with vaseline, wet-set jelly, graphite or Celtic Misht, the ultimate personal lubricant.
Penetrate the REALHAMSTER as you would normally.
With both hands, squeeze the REALHAMSTER tightly until the feel is just right.
While maintaining the hand pressure, thrust with an in and out motion for at least 30 seconds.
Repeat steps 2-5 for the other orifices.
A multiuser upgrade ROM, together with a larger MEPROM, will be available soon.

If for any reason you still can't fit into your REALHAMSTER, please come to us. Our friendly staff at the REALHORSE beta-testing facility would really like a visit from you.

Question: Tell me more about REALHAMSTER's "suction effect!"

After a few thrusts, a partial vacuum is formed inside REALHAMSTER's orifices which creates a powerful but safe suction effect. Many REALHAMSTER owners have reported intense orgasms due to this feature, especially dairy farmers who find their milking machines no match for their meat.

Question: Does the hamster include any electronic features which enhance the pleasure experience, such as a vibrating rectum?

All REALHAMSTERs are equipped with not so much a vibrator, as a computer controlled, hydraulically actuated artificial passage for each orifice, the most powerful one assigned to the anal entry. The passages rythmically constrict uniformly or in waves, depending on both the stimulus given to the hamster and its basic programming. One model, Thumper, does include a vibrator in addition to the natural-feeling passages. Bear in mind that this vibrator is very powerful and extremely dangerous to operate whilst riding even a large motorcycle.

Question: Can its claws slash you into ribbons?

Only Shredder's claws can do that. All other REALHAMSTER claws are quite harmless.

Question: Can REALHAMSTER stand upright, unsupported?

Yes, either on all four paws, or just the hind paws and its tail. REALHAMSTER has the poise and eager state of a hamster waiting to be buggered.

Question: Can it support itself enough to do it "doggy" style?

Certainly, though you'll need a table and some G-clamps if hands-free operation is required. Our marketing people are currently conducting an extensive research programme into the viability of a future REALDOG, for the ultimate in "doing it doggie style".

Question: Does REALHAMSTER come with clothes?

At present, no REALHAMSTER model is shipped with clothes of any kind. We are working on a Beatrix Potter variant that will feature a blue-and-white checked gingham dress, a frilly bonnet and daring lingerie.

Question: I want to start shopping for my hamster's clothes now, before it arrives. Is this a good idea?

Not really. Always take your hamster with you when shopping for clothes.

Question: Are there items of clothing which can actually damage the hamster?

Yes. Neckties interfere with the operation of REALHAMSTER's CPU and its anal passage actuators. Prolonged use of neckties can lead to irreversible damage to these components.

Question: Are tiger stripes or fresian cow spots available?

No. You can, however, use a permanent ink marker to draw such markings on your hamster.

Question: Can you pierce its ears, nipples, etc?

Yes. You can pierce any of REALHAMSTER's extremities.

Question: Can I dye the hamster's fur to a different colour?

Yes. Ordinary hair dye can be used to colour the hamster, though the effect works best when the dye's colour is the same as the original colour of the fur.

Question: Can REALHAMSTER's fur be styled normally?

Yes. REALHAMSTER's fur can be easily be styled to look like Brad Pitt, Sean Connery, Sebastian Bach or Fabio.

Question: Can I use cosmetics on REALHAMSTER?

Yes. All cosmetics designed for hamsters work very well for REALHAMSTER.

Question: Tell me more about the fur fabric. What are its properties? What should I be aware of? What if I'm allergic to it?

The high grade of fur fabric used for REALHAMSTER is a spin-off from NASA's space programme. It has a high tensile strength, resists matting and is unlikely to cause allergic reactions to anyone.

Question: What is the lifespan of fur fabric? Will it shed? Do I need to worry about fleas or anything like that?

Fur fabric does not shed much at all, even at the beginning of summer. Five years of vigorous shelf testing show less than 0.03% loss in furriness. With recommended buggering techniques, REALHAMSTER should last centuries.

Question: I want to bathe and shower with my hamster. Is there anything I need to be careful about, like water temperature or duration?

Fur fabric can withstand temperatures up to 70*C. The fuel cell will remain efficient for external temperatures up to 58*C. It's advisable, when taking a bath, to allow REALHAMSTER the occasional intake of air to ensure proper operation of the fuel cell and delivery of power to the hamster's cybernetics.

Question: Can water become trapped inside the hamster?

Not in anywhere that matters. REALHAMSTER can easily be dried inside and out in seconds with a hair dryer. Alternatively, the hamster can just be left running for half an hour to dry itself.

Question: Can I use my REALHAMSTER as a pool toy?

Yes. Remember to negotiate the exact rules for hamster-pool with the other player(s) before commencing the game.

Question: How flexible is REALHAMSTER?

REALHAMSTER's fur fabric and jointed skeleton are very flexible and will hold almost any position a real hamster could adopt. There are some positions which are more stressful on both the fur fabric and the internal cybernetics. REALHAMSTER cannot be twisted into a M*bius strip, squeezed into a singularity or made to accomodate anything larger than a Tomahawk cruise missile.

Question: How strong are the hamster's joints?

REALHAMSTER's joints are made strong, with steel!

Question: What is the range of the hamster's joints?

REALHAMSTER's joints have a very realistic range of movement about 50-80 degrees or more, depending on the joint.

Question: How hard can REALHAMSTER be buggered?

Very hard. REALHAMSTER can safely withstand over 200 lbs of thrust.

Question: Are there any known health risks? How clean is it and how difficult is it to keep it in a sanitary condition?

There are no known health risks associated with REALHAMSTER. Each REALHAMSTER is put through the dishwasher as soon as the testing staff are finished with it. Keeping the hamster clean is easy. REALHAMSTER can be cleaned with soap and water, detergent or engine degreaser. Stubborn sticky bits can easily be dislodged with the tail end of the RPBP included in the accessory kit shipped with every REALHAMSTER.

Question: What happens when "the honeymoon is over" and I feel that the hamster is not for me and wish to return it?

Nothing. Nothing will happen at all.

Question: Does it come with a warranty? What happens if it breaks?

REALHAMSTER is extremely rugged, but not designed to be subjected to any sort of abuse. Thermite butt-plugs, nuclear weapons and neckties are not recommended as they can seriously damage REALHAMSTER's cybernetics. Exposure to Shortland Street is right out. We do not accept returns, but in the unlikely event of component failure, you can easily repair or replace the components yourself with parts from your local electronic, hydraulic, art supply, medical and cybernetic specialist stores.

Question: Can I change my mind and cancel after I place an order?

No. Choose your REALHAMSTER carefully.

Question: Do you offer teledildonic versions of REALHAMSTER?

Not yet. Our teledildonic hamsters are still in the development stage. Telebuggering works in principle but extra safety features need to be incorporated. One can never be quite sure what the other party intends to do with the remote hamster.

Is REALHAMSTER Year 2000 compliant?

Yes. All REALHAMSTER software and firmware has been thoroughly checked and verified for Year 2000 compliance. You may bugger REALHAMSTER anytime, safe in the knowledge that it won't suddenly forget your willy size at the start of the new millennium

You're right, you're WAY of the mark.
did you know you sounded arrogant?
did you know that This was the last link visited by your dad Last time he used your computer?

> 3. I have no problem with Jon Katz, prior to this review.

No shit sherlock, NOBODY has problems with Jon Katz PRIOR to his reviews.

But some mystical force at works can't stop us from bitching AFTER his reviews :)

(some useless text added to make the lameness filter happy)

I really thought this was real, until I saw the Babbage CPU model.. Guess not :-( Also, they didn't mention if the hair is regrowable. What do you do with it the first time you shave it? Seems like a more expensive proposition to me..

- Steeltoe

Hmm. And to think, it was NASA that brought us such useful substances as teflon, which makes for easy-clean, non-stick surfaces...

Then again, if a RealDoll's too heavy, I'm sure they could get by with a RealHamster instead.

I guess Hemos is spending too much time with his hamster, so there's no time left for new stories.

Why don't you get yourself one of these?

oh well, there's always www.realdoll.com

Realdoll is too pricey for me, I prefer RealHamster.

Ahh, that soft, silky fur, those bulging cheeks!
