lol-X

Confession: I have some level of proficiency in l33t, and am fluent in geek. As such, I've been following the lolcat phenomenon, which the folks over at Language Log have been blogging about (most notably here and here), for quite a while now. I have yet to go as far as pasting captions to photos of my cat, though now that it's summer it's only a matter of time.

My absolute favorite cat macro is, of course, this version of "The Trouble With Tribbles" done entirely in kitty pidgin. There's even a bit of a reference to "Trials and Tribble-ations" at the end, too.

I'm also very fond of this shirt, which is a fill-in-the-blanks version of the lolcats-related "im in ur X, Ying ur Z" snowclone.
