I love the owl. It’s the big goofy satisfied grin that it has that slays me. My dog gets that same smile after a real big bowel movement. So in my head, I’m not hearing “O rly?” but am hearing “Success! Look at that baby!” ---

So in my head, I’m not hearing “O rly?” but am hearing “Success! Look at that baby!” [/QUOTE] Thanks. I’ll never look at that owl in quite the same way again. 🙂 (I’m also finding it amusing that the ads at the bottom of the page are for “Owl Pellets” and “Larry the Cable Guy.” Git-R-Done, indeed!) ---

I love the little guy, he’s so cute! However, I also love [this comic](http://www.pressstarttoplay.net/170206.php) about him (warning: abuse!). ---

[QUOTE=ronincyberpunk] I prefer the Pope John Paul II O Rly, that’s the one that gets me. [/QUOTE] I love the Pope John Paul II that says “nigga, please.” I saw a seagull on a car in a parking lot once, and for some reason, before I saw that it was a seagull, I thought it was a cardboard cutout of the O RLY? owl. ---

Guess I’m a bit behind the times here, since this is my first exposure to these guys. However, [this guy](http://orlyowl.com/puhlease.jpg) and [this guy](http://orlyowl.com/liekwoa.jpg) crack me up to no end. ---

I never had any idea where the owls came from, but they’re always popping up on YTMND. And I have to admit, I love the O RLY owl more than I should. 🙂 ---

I’ve never been anywhere near Fark or Slashdot, but the first time I saw the O RLY? owl I laughed in a way unequalled until I saw the O RRY? Asian Owl just now. Where can I find the Pope John Paul II ones? 😃 ---
