I was not an early adopter in the whole lolcats craze. In fact for a long time I felt like this guy.
Now that I've come around to the joy that is cats doing cat things with badly spelled human interpretations of what cats might say if they sort of spoke English, I must pass it on.

A lolcat (pronounced , with the "lol" not being an initialism), is an image combining a photograph, most frequently of a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption in (often) broken English?a dialect which is known as "lolspeak" or "kitty pidgin" and which parodies the poor grammar typically attributed to Internet slang. The name "lolcat" is a compound word of the acronymic abbreviation "LOL" and the word "cat". A synonym for "lolcat" is cat macro, since the images are a type of image macro. Lolcats are designed for photo sharing imageboards and other internet forums.

When I first saw lolcats I didn't understand it completely, but now I find them hilarious! I love cats and everything they do is so funny. A funny cat photo is good, but putting things they would say if they were human (and in bad grammer) just makes it better.

I love lolcats. My only complaint is that when I go there, I get stuck for hours, laughing out loud. Oh, I guess that's the point, lol. I used several of them on my lenses. I've lensrolled this to White Cats Can't Jump.

When I first found "I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?" there were only around 90 pictures. I forward the URL's to a few that I liked the best, and then didn't return for quite a while. When I did return, I was amazed at how much they had grown. Now I'm a frequent visitor.
It never crossed my mind to make a Lens on it - Kudos for doing a great job on it!
