I think [this member of the feline community](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u6/MarciaCat/cat%20macros%20II/in-ur-ivory-towers.jpg) would agree with the OP. ---

[QUOTE=zoid] Do I have to turn in my **Guy Card** ™ if I admit I like that song? [/QUOTE] No, you are cool. (as long as you like only the song and not him). If you liked that, search for his “Cold Song”. Really impressive. I have been a fan of his music since the early 80’s. His story is pretty interesting (the way I heard it, which might have little to do with reality. I don’t like it enough to do a good research on it). ---

[QUOTE=GuanoLad] All I can say is it is rapidly making the SDMB somewhere I don’t want to spend my time. [/QUOTE] I agree there. I have nothing against threads devoted to ‘cute’ cat pictures, because I can ignore them. But having to put up with even _seeing_ this bastardised, juvenile English from a bunch of schmaltzy pricks is too much. ---

[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] [If **Waverly** was a lolcat.](http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/01/13/i-hate-everything/) 😃 [/QUOTE] Good lord. Is that a living creature, or did someone use photoshop to scrunch up the face? Worse yet are some of those comments below the picture. Whatever mental disability those folks are afflicted with, there should be a telethon. That’s a fine rack on the chicken butt girl, though. ---

I haven’t read every post in this thread, nor every thread on the subject. But for something that most of us seem to want to ignore, there are an awful lot of threads about it. How many are there now? I’ve counted four, and I haven’t even been looking for them. ---

[/QUOTE] Without using search, I can find: I can has cute asian chick I can has prision break I can has cute sequential thread What the fuck is I can Walking your cat or “I can has leash” And those are just the thread titles with variants of “I can has”. Throw in the _other_ lolcat speak and begin counting appearances within random threads and you can see why some of us find it irritating enough to complain. If you are successfully ignoring it [apparently not anymore!] you are a better man than I am. ---

[QUOTE=Waverly] If you are successfully ignoring it [apparently not anymore!] you are a better man than I am. [/QUOTE] I just ran across a few more than that. I am pretty much successfully ignoring it, but when it slaps you in the face in every single forum, you occasionally have to open a thread to ask WTF? I suspect that within a couple of years lolcat will be as common here as “I burning your dog” and “Hi Opal.” ---

I can has recreational outrage pls? Get over it. Not getting a joke or liking a style of humour is no reason to get angry. I don’t start pit threads over how I find modern comedy boring, crude and low-class. Different strokes, and all. ---

[QUOTE=Waverly] Good lord. Is that a living creature, or did someone use photoshop to scrunch up the face? [/QUOTE] Photoshopped, no doubt. Cats (I’m assuming that _is_ a cat) just don’t have the facial musculature to make their eyes do that. ---

[/QUOTE] Ok, shall we close the Pit, IMHO, and possible Café Society and just tell everyone to do their own thing? Not worry about what anyone else thinks? Probably not. You’ve opened what is effectively an opinion piece, filed properly in the pit because it includes criticism of posters and posting habits. If you don’t want me to have an opinion or to express my opinion, I have a suggestion for you: fuck off back to MPISMS. ---

[QUOTE=rayh] I didn’t realise this was an option. Do we have to pay extra? [/QUOTE] Yes. It’s expensive, but I’m worth it. Or you can save your money and take my advice above. Honestly, I think you should cover all your bases and do both.
