Lolcat Challenge

Stilgherrian — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:25:03 +0000

Snarky Platypus, turn away now! This is a lolcat challenge for Nick Hodge. Nick, how quickly can you turn this image into a lolcat?

(Yeah, I know this is silly. But Nick, despite working for Microsoft, is a cool guy. He even sold me my first Mac back in 1985, he’s that much of a geek. We were chatting about lolcats in Perth, and I thought a challenge would be cool.)

[Update 5.20am: Nick has already created the image, see the comments! Anyone else want to have a go?]

Excellent. The Bible (you may have heard of it?) is being translated into LOLcat.

1. In teh beginnin Ceiling Cat was invisible, and he maded the skiez and da earths, but he did not eated it.

2. The earths wus witout shapez and wus dark and scary and stuffs, and he rode invisible bike over teh waterz.

3. And Ceiling Cat sayz, i can has light? and teh light wuz.

The New Testament is there too. The Gospel According to John was always my first choice:

1. In teh beginz is teh werd, and teh werd iz liek “Oh hai Ceiling Cat” and teh werd eated teh Ceiling Cat.

2. In teh beginz teh werd an teh Ceiling Cat iz teh bests frenz.

3. Him maeks alls teh cookies; no cookies iz maed wifout him.

4. Him haz teh liefs, an becuz ov teh liefs teh doodz sez “Oh hay lite.”

5. Teh lite iz pwns teh darks, but teh darks iz liek “Wtf.”

6. And teh Ceiling Cat haz dis otehr man; his naem iz John.

7. He tellz teh ppl dat teh lites is tehre, so dat teh doodz sez “OMG.”

It’s a Wiki, so feel free to improve it. Thanks to Boing Boing for the pointer.

Now, LOLKoran, anyone…?

Oops, I missed the Lolcats!

OK, I’m obviously so over-committed that I’m now officially Out Of Touch. I didn’t know what a “lolcat” was until I stumbled across this article.

At the risk of completely ruining my credibility as someone who’s supposed to Know Stuff About Teh Intertubes by summarising something that’s already been reported in the mainstream media — which means the Sydney Morning Herald’s “Stay In Touch” column will run it next week — here’s the skinny…

Eric Nakagawa was “between jobs” in January when he found the picture at right. On a whim he and a mate created a website around it, I Can Has Cheezburger. Six month later, they’re getting 500 new submissions and 200,000 unique visitors every day.

Mr Nakagawa doesn’t need that day job any more.

Read the Wall Street Journal article explaining the history of the lolcat, and Anil Dash’s fantastic essay on the linguistic aspects, Cats Can Has Grammar.
