Oh man the craigslist one was super funny. posted by vito90 at 6:48 PM on May 31, 2007
that's so fucking great.
there are no permalinks, but check out the inadvertently relevant:
"sorry, no throbbing gristle" at 1/3 down
"don't tread on me" a couple posts under that
"hysteria strikes again" a little more than halfway down
"paging dr. flea" directly under that
everything else makes a kind of absurd sense, but these are on the nose, as they say in the tv biz. posted by Hat Maui at 6:51 PM on May 31, 2007
Well, I've been complaining about running this meme into the ground but I found this pretty entertaining. posted by puke & cry at 6:52 PM on May 31, 2007
Seriously... I never post but this meme has pushed me over the edge. No personal offense to the poster but for the love of God, can we be done with lol-*? Often I subscribe to the: "Don't like it? Don't click the link." crowd but these posts just plain suck. posted by lucasks at 6:52 PM on May 31, 2007
Like I said last time, BoingBoing killed lolcats for me.
You know when someone asks, hey, want a beer?, and you think, hmm, hey, why not, and the beer tastes much better than you had expected, because you weren't really thinking about having a beer, and before you're even halfway savouring the first one, someone hands you another, and next thing you know it you're buying the rounds, and with a parched mouth and a head like a ferris wheel you hear someone mumble, hey, wanannathabee?, and you stammer, sure!, and you really believe it, against all good advice, but you really do, by the best of your impaired judgment, do wanannathabee?
I'm not in it for the lolcats angle (since losing the lolspeak kills it), but the craigslist random headlines over cat imagery is bizarrely hilarious. posted by jonson at 6:56 PM on May 31, 2007
Oh, oops. I was so busy looking at... uh, kitties, that I missed that loquacious got there first. Apologies! posted by houseofdanie at 7:46 PM on May 31, 2007
Dear god, complaining about lolcats is getting old.
The whole meme'll pass in (looking at watch) about another 30 minutes anyway, and you'll never have to look at cute pictures of cats with text again. posted by JHarris at 8:44 PM on May 31, 2007
There is a great beauty in combining two separate forms of randomness. Humans want to see patterns, we want the two dissimilar things to fit together, and thus we take punchdrunkhistory's What's my kink, and suddenly two kitties on a bed becomes wonderfully perverse.
Wonderful example of my point pinespree, what does that photo have to do with a shuttle launch? Nothing. But there is a feather, and feathers come from birds who fly, shuttles also fly;
And just because it's perfect, it's not actually a bird, it's a bird's predator; the cat, chewing on the feather, with the text about the launch, so we question if a launch will be coming or did the cat's eating disrupt it and therefore make the whole image ironic.
You see? Random connections = wonderfulness.
Again, I love it. posted by quin at 9:55 PM on May 31, 2007
For what it's worth, Yahoo Answers (which is usually full of not-very-bright questions) is a good mesh for this, esp. the Pets/Cats feed. posted by davejay at 12:40 AM on June 1, 2007
Bah; Yahoo doesn't let you pull a specific category through the lolcatfeeder. Still, has enough "HELP PLEEEEEEEZ!!" questions to be fun. posted by davejay at 12:42 AM on June 1, 2007
Oh maaaaan, put a cute cat next to it and everything becomes awesome! Who knew?
