Weirdness.
Total flippin’ WEIRDNESS!
Only on the World Wide Web can you experience the likes of I Can Has Cheezburger?
It is a phenomenon. Cutesy animal pics + cutesy captions = the ne plus ultra of useless Internet distractions.
Some of the posted images are ridiculously cute, like “We R not slipperz!”
Some are make-believe smutty, like “Invisible Buttsecks!!!”
Some are undeniably cool, like ”Ice Cream Zombie.”
And they got hundreds of ’em!
I’m addicted. I’m not even a cat lover. But then, it’s not all cats. Just mostly.
I tip my hat to Rottin’ in Denmark, who recently blogged about I Can Has Cheezburger? He called it “the most geeky-awful-tremendous-appalling Website I've ever seen.”
He seems to be addicted too.
I had been blissfully unaware of the Internet meme known as “lolcats.” But blogger Anil Dash recently broke it down in interesting fashion.
I mean, a picture like the one up top (created by Lizz K.) speaks for itself. But as a writer, I’m interested in how this cutesy caption language, this patois (or “catois”?) seems to have its own grammatical rules.

I like "catois" better than "kittgin" or "cweeole." And I love the "O RLY?" owls. BTW, did you see the http://www.lolgay.com/ site?

Oh God... I think we all might need to be de-programmed.
Heh, if you want lots of lolcats and internet weirdnesses, take a peek at any livejournal page. I still say "My hed is pastede on ye" because of it (and "cus anime is teh suck" thanks to Adult Swim).

I still like "catois" for a name, though.
