To bad you have to spend thousands on security to keep Gere and his gang from raiding the coop.

 
Chastain86 2003-07-11 12:38:57 PM  
For fun AND profit!

 
puckhead 2003-07-11 02:57:44 PM  


Yup!

 
DancingInThe Fark 2003-07-11 02:57:46 PM  
oh so much pleasure...just ask Richard Gere...

First thing I thought of when I saw this article: "Gerbil" by Stephen Lynch.

 
Hellifiknow 2003-07-11 02:58:49 PM  
What we need here are some Richard Gere references.

/scared to do a GIS for "gerbil farmer."

"I can already see they are making gerbil jokes about me. Hold me close, you whore, I'm scared..."

What does Mr. Lemmiwinks think of all this??

 
Hellifiknow 2003-07-11 03:03:09 PM  
Armageddon!

What does gerbil taste like?

 
SixOfDLoC 2003-07-11 03:03:54 PM  
Gerbilicious, of course.

 
Guy Innagorillasuit [TotalFark] 2003-07-11 03:03:59 PM  
A great adventure is waiting for you ahead
Hurry onward Lemmiwinks or you will soon be dead
The journey before you may be long and filled with woe
But you must escape the gay mans ass so your story can be told!
Lemminks! Lemmiwinks! Lemmiwinks!

o...but when they bite you have anal bleeding for a few days.

What does gerbil taste like?

Before, or after the Gere treatment?

 
Sneech [TotalFark] 2003-07-11 03:05:10 PM  
Before, and grilled...

Don't want'em raw!

 
CanuckGuy 2003-07-11 03:05:52 PM  
Personally, I'd spend most days re-enacting the outpost.com ad.

JohnnyontheSpot 2003-07-11 03:07:16 PM  
Is it still rewarding if you don't want to put them up your ass?

 
nolimitbodnar 2003-07-11 03:07:47 PM  
Man, that didn't take long... poor Richard Gere.

Richard Gere surrenders...

A GIS for "gerbil farmer" led me to this site:

possibly NSFW, depends on your workplace I guess

 
Shyster 2003-07-11 03:08:07 PM  
I had over forty gerbils at one time. Likewise, I had been given two. Those things make babies fast. I sold them to pet stores for a buck or two each.

 
RInewsPhotog 2003-07-11 03:08:12 PM  
that outpost.com commercial was farking hilarious. i remember seeing it and just passing out on my couch laughing.

 
fiver- 2003-07-11 03:08:25 PM  
How come gerbils don't drive?
Because they can't get out of Gere.

/urban legend

 
DancingInThe Fark 2003-07-11 03:08:32 PM  
How many years has it been since the whole Gere/Gerbil incident??? And do hamsters work too?

Hi, I'm Bucky Goldstein. I'm a gerbil wrangler.

Shouldn't it be 'gerbil ranching'?

 
firemanschick 2003-07-11 03:10:50 PM  
why am i not surprised that Richard Gere would be mentioned here?


hee hee (coy little laugh)

 
SixOfDLoC 2003-07-11 03:11:32 PM

You know, at first I read that as 'gerbil felching'...

 
DancingInThe Fark 2003-07-11 03:13:44 PM  
For those who need directions---check out this link, http://www.geocities.com/markdrought/gerbil.htm

 
skinink 2003-07-11 03:14:03 PM  
Deevo, you forgot to include a zip lock bag, so the gerbil don't bite your insides.


don't know why I know about gerbil cramming ....

How many years has it been since the Gere/Gerbil incident? That's a meaningless question, since the "incident" is an urban legend.

 
DancingInThe Fark 2003-07-11 03:20:42 PM  
oh really??

 
HomerSamson113 [TotalFark] 2003-07-11 03:21:44 PM  
About the whole Richard Gere thing, does anyone actually know if it's a TRUE story or just an urban legend type thing? Anyone have a reference for the story?

Brodie: One time my cousin Walter got this cat stuck in his arse. True story. He bought it at the local mall, so the whole fiasco wound up on the news. It was embarrassing for my relatives and all. But the next week, he did it again. Different cat, same results, complete with a trip to the emergency room. Then, last week, I saw him in the pet store. He was buying another cat! I said, "Walt, what the hell are you doing, you know you're just gonna get this cat stuck up your arse too, why don't you knock it off?" And he says to me, "Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?" My cousin was a weird guy.

I have fond memories of felching. It's intimately connected with my first memories of the internet.

In college back in the early 90's, someone told me about this nifty thing called the web and the browser called Lynx that you could look at pages on this newfangled invention on our crappy campus VAX system with. They wrote out a very long string of characters and told me to type them in (turns out it was a url). The page was on, you guessed it, gerbil-stuffing, the first thing I ever read on the Web.

Ah, memories.

What the hell did you think I was going to say, you Gere-obsessed sickos?

The trouble is trying to hitch those lil suckers up to the wagon.

 
DancingInThe Fark 2003-07-11 03:26:51 PM  
The scary thing is--there is a mass of information on the web about stuffing these poor animals up your ass...poor gerbils they have gotten such a bad rap...

 
nataliet 2003-07-11 03:27:29 PM  
Oh and I don't know if the Gere thing is true, but I have a friend who works in the ER in Lancaster PA. Heard many stories of objects being stuck up the arse (including half a soda bottle...OUCH!)

 
anjinho_do_saxo 2003-07-11 03:27:43 PM  
Y'all have no poetry in your souls. You should be down on the gerbil ranch come round-up time. First you see the cloud of dust, kicked up by thousands of tiny hooves. Well, paws. Then you hear the squeaking. The pounding of feet gets louder. Very dramatic.

Then comes the branding.

Just watch out for the gerbil rustlers.

"(including half a soda bottle...OUCH!)"

"million to one shot doc, million to one"

was that the pasta statue kramer made of jerry?

Just watch out for the gerbil rustlers.
Are they anything like "horse whisperers"? 'Cause we don't go in for that sort of thing around here...
