Her hair is yellow gold
Her lips are sweet suprise
Her hands are never cold

Are lasers the new lens flare?

What was the old lens flare? Was it lens flare?

I'd never seen that picture of Kurt before, and it made me sad.

I hope so. I think clips of babies smashing their heads into walls, falling off things, and getting trapped on top of cactuses would provide me with a great deal of amusement.

I don't think I can handle the impending stupidity of a LOLBABEEZ meme.

I’ve got laser eyes
And I know what you’re thinking
It comes as no surprise
Christmas lights are blinking

And I’m so curious
And I’m so curious
And I’m so curious
And I’ve got laser eyes
Hey!

And I’m so curious
And I’m so curious
And I’m so curious
And I’ve got laser eyes
Hey!

Given time, an infinite amount of internets with an infinite amount of photoshops will discover the next meme that can be turned into a book that will be on the discount shelf at Borders two months after its release.

"Seetharaman Narayanan has evolved to the point where he is more Lens Flare than man."

Also of note, my friend and I hypothesized that Bladerunner vehicles ran on futuristic lensflare engines.

Given time a month or two, an infinite amount of internets with an infinite amount of photoshops some kid with a cracked copy of Photoshop and a tumblr account will discover the next meme that can be turned into a book that will be on the discount shelf at Borders two months after its release.

Christ, as if there weren't enough "Hey look at my baby" in my life already (approaching 30).

Laser eyes was the meme on Orkut from like 2004... Kind of behind the times now...

Well, you've got too give them credit for one thing; they said "babies with laser eyes", and it was definitely all about the babies with laser eyes. No walruses with buckets, no motivation posters, no dancing banana music videos, just babies with laser eyes. If what you want in life is babies with laser eyes, they delivered.

Man, why so down on this. I think it's funny.

It was better than Tom Selleck sandwich and waterfall.

Oh, we are posting pictures of babies with lasers coming out of their eyes... ok then, I'll just cancel this photo shoot I was about to do.

It's funny how these days, internet memes are created, criticized and defunct in a matter of hours, yet will inevitably end up on some year-end best-of list, or a super-bowl commercial, or referenced on an episode of The Office, or some other attempt to appear hip-and-happening-and-with-it-and-relevant.
