Which Black Sabbath vocalist should I name my new hamster after?

Another vote for Tony "The Cat" Martin, but you have to go for Dio, or maybe Padanova for the cognoscenti.

dang, pillbox got "hamsternaut"

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well

Wood chews of the universe
A love that never dies

Dió means "nut" or "walnut" in Hungarian, which is kind of cute for a rodent, I think.

was joe lynn turner ever black sabbath's vocalist? seems like he should have been.

anyway you should name your hamster joe lynn turner

name your gecko either joe lynn turner or graham bonnett.

graham bonnet wore sunglasses a lot and joe lynn turner is like a new yawk type dude i think but i get them confused

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Wow. That is about 36 more votes than I expected.

a tremendous victory for J3ff T's new hamster, Ronnie James Dio.

hamsters are dicks tho, imo

nothing against ronny james dio or anything

NWOBHAM

Ha ha ha. Amazing.

welcome to your new home ronniejames. your fans demand pix

Thanks for your input, guys. That is, indeed, a pretty crazy amount of responses. I will share pictures as soon as he is in my care on Saturday.

Also – hamsters are awesome. My last hamster, Lemmy, was a total bro. That's why I'm getting this one from a breeder. Hamsters don't really have any trouble breeding, obviously, but the breeders breed them for cuteness and personality. And, of course, metal cred.

How do you tell if he's a post Julien Donkey Boy, VICE reading hipster, SunnO))) merch collecting Nigel hamster or Manowar rinsing True Metal rodent?

No hamster of mine will be false.

A righteous result.

I will share pictures as soon as he is in my care on Saturday.

He is currently in the "terrified of everything" phase, so I haven't really been able to grab a good photo yet.

Dio of course means "god" in Italian, though Ronnie said he got the name from a Florida mafia guy named Johnny Dio. There happens to be a brief appearance of a Johnny Dio in Scarface. Just don't name it after Born Again vocalist Ian...

Oh yeah, I said I was going to post photos in here. Well, here's a photo of the little evil, divine critter:

Hamster and Hell

^^^^^ THIS

Alas! Sad news on FB from J3ff that Dio has passed on, the poor little critter. May he rock out with Dio himself forever more.

:( sorry to hear about your loss jeff.

2-3 years is short enough for a lifespan, sorry to see this cute little guy didn't make a year.

This thread must have been in the back of my mind when we adopted a 3 year-old cat (20 lbs no less) and named him Ozzy. The prince of darkness is doing well, slowly losing weight.

RIP ;_;

awww, sad to hear this :-(

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I should be obtaining a new little dude in the next couple weeks, and I'm now accepting suggestions for names.

Yngwie

I am super excited! I'm still leaning towards Ozzy, despite all of the excellent suggestions.

Flying high again

can you name one of his poop pellets Sharon?

Sorry for the blurriness, I'll try to grab some better pictures when he's no longer such a spaz.

name...??

judging from the captions I'm pretty sure it's Ozzy

next one needs to be Geezer

it is indeed Ozzy. He's still a little hyper, but he's settling in nicely. He enjoys climbing on the walls and ceiling of his cage.
