It didn't occur to me that some people wouldn't recognize the "art form" I used in the last post until I found out that PDM had no clue what I was riffing on (or ripping off). I am usually the last to hear about stuff like that. But just in case you live under a rock or just don't run into these weird internet trends, it was a "
lolcat". Maybe not the best example, but hey - it was my first. If you like this sort of thing "u can has mor funnyz kats"
here. They are strangely addictive.
You cannot resist lolcats.
Under a rock. I'm still a bit confused; but, your littlest is cute.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about them before reading that Slate article when it first appeared. They are kind of cute, though. I can has cheezburger? :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't start! They'll suck you in!
ReplyDeleteoh yes, prepare to spend a 'toopud amount of time at icanhascheezburger.
Also, fermi - where'd you go to college? your A.d.a.d.m story intrigues me. :>
I love that site. Don't know if anyone is on Serenitymovie.org but gossi- the guy who owns the board- has lolcat avatars all the time. Which probably means nothing to anyone. Not even sure why I mention it.
ReplyDeleteWierd.
Ever go to stuffonmycat.com? Hilarious!
Cats don't really talk like that!
ReplyDeletelolcats are ok, I guess. But they can't compete with wtfdogs, which I don't have any examples of because as far as I know I just now made them up.
ReplyDeletetiff - Georgia Tech!
ReplyDeletenypinta - stuffonmycat is fun. I hadn't checked it in a while. Now I'm gonna have to go to serenitymovie.org and check out their stuff. :D
magnetbabe - that made me think of the Jeff Foxworthy routine where he said his relatives were watching a movie with talking animal characters, and somebody whispered "you know that ain't them dogs real voice."
john - months from now when WTFdogs are a raging internet trend, I am going to link back to your comment where it all began. I think you should create a WTFdog for your next post.
I'm apparently stupid, because the wikepedia explanation made absolutely no sense to me at all.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's me. Under the rock. I had no idea. Thanks for bringing me into the 21st century!
ReplyDeletekat - try the cheezburger link.
ReplyDeletewritegirl - glad I could help!
