I want a hamster so I can name is Harvey. My mom says that they carry diseases that get to you when you touch them. I don't think a dog named Harvey would work out too well.

I had a hamster a while ago, but I didn't name him Harvey because I thought it was too cliché.

Harvey is a better name for a dog than Bob.

Ya, but my dog likes his name. He looks more like a Harvey than a Fred though...

Um... No. Neither do mice... But I wouldn't know... Their long tails SCARE me to death.

The original Harvey is dead. Many different hamsters (and one gunea pig) have played Harvey. I wonder if Al could tell us how many different hamsters have played Harvey.

That would be a good Ask Al question.

I just asked it, because now I wanna know too.


I've never owned a hamster, so I can't offer a comment on them. But I had a mouse once named cutsie, and I loved her to death (gimme a break, I was 6). She was one of the cleanest animals I've ever had, btw. Dogs are much dirtier, I think.

Did anyone see the parody of this song on AmIRight before? It was about a "Super Plunger" named Pluggy. It was really stupid and it didn't make much sense. (Along with the other parodies that the writer submitted.)

How can you make a good parody of a 23 sec. song?
