What The Tag Hamster Might Mean

After doing some research on google...finding all sorts of Hamster Codes (that refer to an old video game)...I found some theories on what the random tag Hamster means. Add your own theory below.

Theory 1: Hamster Means that the Plot is going No Where..or is slowing down.

The teacher added two terms to my vocabulary of mental awareness: hamster wheels and merry-go-rounds. He said that most distractions are of these two types. Hamster wheels are thoughts that go nowhere, such as worrying about something you could be doing instead of meditating, anger at someone, and so on. Merry-go-rounds are self-congratulatuory hamster wheels, such as pride in one's own accomplishment, a wish-fulfilling scenario, and so on.

I think most of my thoughts fit into these two categories. Short-duration, simple human-brain-based memes. They are simple cycles of thought. Each cycle ends where it begins and may continue round and round, but going nowhere.

Theory 2: A Symbol of Breeding/Control in the Order

Because they are easy to keep and breed in captivity, hamsters are often used as lab animals and pets.

Theory 3: It Means Something Else..an Anagram

Words found: AMHERST, HARM SET, MR HATES, TRASH EM, TRASH ME, SHE MART, SMATHER, TRESHAM

OK.. I already put this under "strange tags," but

HAMSTER

T. RAMESH

Yes, Mesh's last name is Flinders, but his middle initial could be "T." Hamster at the end of a video could mean that Mesh had special input into the plot.

I was just going to copy and paste your post here. ^_^

That is a good theory...seems simple and..well somewhat normal.

Thanks, KTS..

I think people are looking hard for some "universal rule" to apply to the tags. An example is the people who are breaking down the tags about animals into their scientific taxonomy. Each tag could have a special, personal meaning to the creators. That's just my idea.

What if the creators just throw in some tags to see how we react, keep us interested and play on our ideas

I'd be kinda pissed if they were just toying with us.

Or Mesh Art? Otherwise I am not sure what you are doing with the R and the A?

Anyway, Trainer was pointing out there is a tie to Epogen too.....

i think that hamster refers to idea that bree is a biogenetics experiment and everything that has been happening is to gauge (the watchers) her responses and reactions. she 'seems' to be operating out on her own, but she's really like a hamster in one of those closed environments with tunnels, tubes, etc.

Hamster is Richard Hammond's nickname, maybe The Creators are just Top Gear fans? :wink:
