[QUOTE=Waverly] It really doesn’t. It’s not really the lolcats site that I’m pitting, it’s much more the insipid use of lolcat speak here. I just wouldn’t go there. And it would take a major dickhead to go there and complain – though I bet they get that. Even the carry over here might have been cute and mildly amusing the first time… or the second… but if the person doing it for the 6,240,851st time thinks it’s funny, then… I don’t know what. You tell me. Can that person really think it’s funny? [/QUOTE] Do you mean if the person does it [OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAND](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBtpyeLxVkI) times? ---

[QUOTE=Tenebras] … If you cook them too long they’re liable to turn out all tough and chewy. And if their hair lights well, they go up like marshmallows and it’s like eating little charcoal briquettes with legs. _But_, cooked right–say to a nice medium rare–there ain’t nothing that beats a good cat, … [/QUOTE] 3? I hear they’re greasy, like goose. Do them has a flavor, like cheezburger? Am they has a better flavor with bacon salt? KTHXBAI CMC fnord! ---

[QUOTE=bigbabysweets2000] I just watched that. Sorries, I does not get. [/QUOTE] Its’ kinda a geek in-joke. The humor is partly because of how over-dramatic the readings are and partly because people work the phase into their lives. It has been repeated OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAND times, at least. I didn’t get it the first time I saw it either. ---

Like a lighthearted break from all that “oh we must be such serious adults with such cleverness and put such deep intelligent thought into every thing that way say” stuff. I think it’s more of a slight “in-crowd” thing. (only without the stupid HS angst and crap since anyone can join). This particular one I believe I have managed to avoid (but then I may just not have remembered giving into the nonsense), it’s mildly cute, but not really catchy as say “1920s Style Death Ray”. Plus it doesn’t have a funny background story like the 1920s Style Death Ray. ---

[QUOTE=Nzinga, Seated] I have now seen the image. I cannot unsee it. [/QUOTE] Moreover, you will now be seeing it everywhere, even in places it is really not.
