Back to work time again, and not led any particular direction in which to blog early this morning. Broaching the whole Paris Hilton fiasco would be like taking candy from a baby....oh, wait a minute...
...but I did 'stumble' upon what is a 'majorly big thing' in cyberspace that you should know about if you don't already, and simply from the standpoint of "yeah, I've heard of 'em" in water cooler conversation. That's about my level of knowledge and involvement, but at least after reading this we can pretend to be hip. Or not.
LOLcats. Kitty pidgin.
Basically, words added to animal pictures...but apparently more.
I'd seen examples but just not really understood the phenomenon (and still don't, really). The idea is to take a cute picture of kitty and add bad grammar to it, or more of the truncated and unique grammar found in the emailing and blogging world. In itself that is is like the Cliffs Note version as there is supposedly a 'right' and 'wrong' way to go about "lolcatting".
I won't profess to go into more detail...just figured I'd post some of the ones that made me chuckle or smile...
...which is always called for on a Monday morning...
Here's hoping you have a purrfect day, and that you don't have to put up with too many catty remarks...
