For those of you who know what the Hamster Invasion is about...

There will be happiness spreading to Pittsburgh. Any requests to the Hamster King should be posted here by the 20th.  We will have an agent in the area.  All requests subject to royal approval.

Huzzah for Festival!

Hail and well-met, Oh Great Hamster King.  Allow me to be the first from Morelandshire to offer you and the wee hamsters greetings from our fair shire.  With greatest respect do I come before you this day to request that one of your hamster bairns be placed in my loving care.  'Twas by my daughter's sad tale that many at CoRF offered little hamster prayers and condolences, and that Hey– Arent You placed Marley upon his shoulder at CORF, in memory of our departed furry friend.  For the many kind words and gestures I am eternally grateful.

My request may be a bit late ~ I have been overwhelmed with summer class work ~ but  'twould be my great honor to now be charged with the care of one of Marley's cousins.  I look forward to soon making the acquaintance of the Hamster Ambassador, and shall wait with much anticipation ~ and bountiful supply of hamster treats ~ to learn of the Hamster King's determination of my worthiness of such a distinguished assignment.

Hamster Blessings to you and our CoRFian family,
Anne

Lol thank you Scarlett, I wanted to ask myself but you've beaten me to it.

[Hey- Arent You?]

and if someone doesn't...... I'll be back......

Ah well to fill you in on the hamster happiness...

Long ago in a forum not so far away... there were members who would break the rules of the forums and become overly negative with the written word.  Sometimes it was just to pick on other ren folk, or to complain very harshly about the faire or even worse yet... politics.   (Hope you all have not read that word and ran away screaming in terror.)

The Hamster King would drop in and out of the blue say something about hamsters.  Kind of like changing the conversation with questions about the weather or football.  Afterall... what really could be negative about hamsters.  The Hamster King would do this for years in many of the forums. One day, it caught on and now the hamster invasion will happen on a thread by others who like to change the subject when it gets to negative.  

Hamster happiness even spread to so that it had it's own thread.  CORF is where the most hamster activity has abounded, but it is not contained there.  R/F members started to show their support by wearing hamsters to festival.  There were even small close pins with hamsters painted on them that started appearing.  Then there were requests to the Hamster King for people to be able to adopt the cute little joys.  All in support of spreading tranquility.  

It has abounded from the midwest to California, and now the east coast.  Can anyone get one?  Not all requests have been honored as hamsters do not thrive in negative atmospheres.

Hail fair Anne of Oaktower, Protector of Chipmunks,

Thy boon to the Hamster King has been heard and thy wish has been granted. 

A small litter of furry happiness will be escorted to Morelandshire by Mistress Charlotte, the Duchess of the Delicate Delightful Daub and Dab.  Me thinks that thou art acquainted with her and shall find her in the About Face Painting Shoppe in Morelandshire.  She will assist thee in the adoption process and in finding one that is best suited for thee. The honorable Hamster Ambassador Giselle will also be there in attendance.

The King also wishes to bestow a title to thee as thou art the first in Morelandshire to be found worthy of a heartening hamster.  Thy title is yet to be discerned, but thou shalt have one none the less.

Blessings to thee,

Mistress Workinprogress of the Royal Hamster Adoption Agency

[Countess Westmorland]

I would like to petition the Most Wondrous Hamster King to please consider placing one of the dear little creatures in my care.  It would remind me of my dear departed Pookey who traveled 3,000 miles with myself and my spouse in our carriage as we journeyed from the other end of the country.  Although he left out earthly plane many years ago, I still recall my first pet as a married with fond memories.

I promise to keep him or her quite safe from inquiring Wheaten Terrier noses and cherish this little one.  Only the best of food and he will sleep on a silken comforter and accompany me to the Faire as I make my rounds and have an excellent view of the joust and even be up on the parapet with me, being treated as a Royal Hamster.

Humbly,
Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland and the Isles

Hail Margaret Tudor Queen of Scotland and the Isles, Countess Westmoreland, the great Squirrel Whisperer and keeper of the royal Wheaton Terriers,

Thy boon to the Hamster King has been heard and thy wish has been granted.

Mistress Charlotte, the Duchess of the Delicate Delightful Daub & Dab will be escorting a small litter of furry happiness to Morelandshire. As she is the prioress of the About Face Painting Shoppe, she will possibly be unable to wander about the kingdom.  If thou wouldst bring thyself to her most humble shoppe, she would most humbly present thee with a hamster befitting one as Majestic as thyself.

We of the Hamster Kingdom are greatly honored by the privilege to bestow a humble hamster upon thee.

Blessings to thee,

Mistress Workinprogress of the Royal Hamster Adoption Agency

Hail Mistress Scarlett of the Royal Tailgate and devourer of Mimosas,

Thy boon to the Hamster King has been heard and thy wish has been granted.  Thy postings hath proven thee to be of a truly sanguine nature and one who would nurture a furry friend.

If thou wouldst truly like one of our heartening hamsters, please present thyself to Mistress Charlotte, the Duchess of the Delicate Delightful Daub & Dab.  She is the prioress of the About face Painting Shoppe in Morelandshire.  She will assist thee in finding a hamster suited to thy Mimosa loving antics. (although please remember, hamsters are featherweights and should be restricted to 1/2 a tumbler.) 

Blessings to thee,

Mistress Workinprogress of the Royal Hamster Adoption Agency

[Countess Westmorland]

I am truly beside myself with joy.  I simply cannot wait to meet my wee charge.  I know Mistress Charlotte quite well and was already awaiting her arrival in our shire.  Your news has made me even more thrilled and I am impatient for the time to pass when I may once again gaze upon her visage and greet her as a true cousin.

If I may be so bold as to suggest, considering our fair Anne of Oaktower has served me well on the Morgans Bounty crew... she makes a fine Keeper of the Keys and I'm thinkin' ye may like to be lockin' up these hamster critters to guard them from any pirating..... of course there are no pirates in Pittsburgh now... so probably not a problem.

You are safe as long as Capt Spleen doesn't roll over 'em with his pilfered cage wheel. Of course, one hamster did leap from its pouch during the middle of faire one day (we think) never to be seen again...

Spleen? Ha! rarely seen in these parts... doubtin' a hamster'd be enough fer him ennyway!
