On one hand, I guess I could try to use this as something to annoy my teens with.  
On the other, however, it’s more useful as a signal for a thread I should ignore.

[QUOTE=Little Plastic Ninja]  
And I may have a goofy sense of humor, but I think the lolcats are funny enough that I actually go to icanhascheezburger almost every day at work. I’ll probably get sick of it eventually, but it just entertains me – underscores the utter seriousness with which those little furry heads stare at me with the knowledge that A) their brains are not exactly powered by nuclear reactors and B) they lick their own butts.

In conclusion: meh. 😃  
[/QUOTE]

Aha! It’s a cute little website with Cats? Why didn’t anyone tell me? Well, in that case, they can has all the hases they wants to!

If you think this is from a cartoon, you haven’t seen the wonder that is lolcats. Go to the website above. You won’t be so grouchy anymore. 🙂

Operation aborted.” Never had this happen before.
