haha you drive the toaster.

[asthecrowflies]

Indeed! right down to Hamsterdamn Ave! awesome! Thanks for sharing.

And just for the record I went with "that".

[nobleds]

I got the Scion "box", the original. But am waiting for the day that i can check out all the new toaster boxes that are now on the market.

[asthecrowflies]

ha! we drive the toaster too xD & i LOVE that car SO much. when we get around to looking at a new car, we may look at the Soul, but the Nissan Cube has my attention when we're in morning traffic.

[nobleds]

I LOVE my xB so much. I would get another one in a minute. The Cube has also caught my eye, but I am also being woo-ed by the Ford transit...

I was very excited to see the toaster "car" hehe. I love these little hamsters!!

[asthecrowflies]

squeeee! i adore them - wow, what osm detail! in this one, i kept staring at the hands.

so... if the toaster is the Scion xB, what's the washing machine..?

[liz_o_fashiz_o]

the washing machine has to be the Honda Element.

Also, when the hamster poking out of the washer stares and his jaw drops? my favorite part!!!omgyay!!

[asthecrowflies]

it's either the Element orrrrrr

the other car i'm lusting after right now, the Nissan Cube

after watching this something like 4 dozen times, I have to say that my favorite part is the drummer hamster. perfect!

[asthecrowflies]

i love their little fingers! SO well done.

the drummer is osm, for sure - all squinty concentrating n' stuff. my fave bit is the hamster in the washing machine, driving up & jittering - his little ears are all bunched up xD

but ultimately, i am left with the question of a pants-optional standard of dress for this society of hamsters.

[nobleds]

You say all squinty concentraiting and I say "looks high" but either way the detail is awesome!

Even the movement of the jackets that they are wearing...

On one viewing I thought they looked like they had diapers on, but it could just be that I was projecting that they should have some sort of pants on. However the shirtless basketball players had pants... Maybe in their society they can only wear 1 type of clothing; tops or bottoms.

[asthecrowflies]

ah! BUT! the hamsters in the wheels, they wear nothing! NOTHING, I SAY!

zomg, i love these hammies. ♥
