I've always been physically fit even though I haven't really excercised as much as I should lately. I didn't mind doing any of it.

Eh...just wanted a change.

I would have loved to do Al-TV '96 but that was right after I had broken my paw from a stunt that ended up not making it to the air. So there was no feasible way I could have done it.

That's a good question. I have no idea.

I can lift an impressive seven pounds! :D That might not seem like much, but remember, I'm a hamster. As I said earlier, haven't excercised much lately, but my favorite excercise is, as the song mentions, running on the hamster wheel. And like my owner, I'm on a semi-strict vegetarian diet.

And in case you're curious, my avatar is a 1991 photo of me at the Mr. Hamster Universe competition.

Yeah, Studio 54 was open right around the time when Al was first getting noticed, and had little money. But, you did say you don't know how he got in. Maybe a friend had connections? Anyway, which of the birthday gifts that you got on TWAS did you like best?
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

I thought you couldn't talk. How did you yell?

I could talk until the early '80s. One day I just found that I was unable to speak and now I use thought bubbles to converse.

Did you ever have a rematch with that wrestler from The Weird Al Show?
