LOLCat Bible

Posted in Humour, Internet, Personal, Religion, Thoughts by Ana Pires on March 18, 2008

…equals me laughing myself silly.

First things first. The LOLCats. A Lolcat is an image combining a photograph of an animal, most frequently a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption in broken English referred to as Kitty Pidgin, or lolspeak (wikipedia). If you’re not familiar with any of this, visit the I Can Has Cheezburger Blog for plenty of lulz.

Moving on. Some people, as myself, find the lolcats and their lolspeak very witty and just plain hilarious. Quite a few of my acquaintances think it’s just stupid though. Well, this isn’t their blog, is it?

I visit all the lolcat blogs on a regular basis, and I really have lots of genuine fun with them. I only recently found out about this LOLBible though. And my question is, how on earth could I have missed such a thing?! And it has been around since July 2007?! How?!

After recovering from this fail… On reading the first page, the intention of all of this is to translate and modify the Christian bible, in order to make it a lolcat bible. Except for the plot, everything is changed, the writing, the seriousness and, specially, the characters. The description and explanation alone is funny and got me giggling, and since it’s obviously not intended to be offensive or anything, I moved on.

From Genesis 1, right at the beginning:

At start, no has lyte. An Ceiling Cat sayz, i can haz lite? An lite wuz.

I understand this might seem incredibly stupid for anyone who doesn’t have a sense of humo- I mean, for anyone who doesn’t enjoy the lolcat culture, but this small quote caught me so off guard, I even cried because of the laughing. It’s six in the morning now and even after a sleepless night, I’m trying not to laugh too loud at this.

From Genesis 3:

An teh man said, teh woman u gave me saw teh tree An told ’bout it to me. At first I was liek “Noes!” but then, I was layk NOM NOM NOM.

So there. After finding a religion to my liking a while back, I have finally found another one worthy of mentioning. And I just remembered… About my rant on people who approach you on the street because of anything/everything? Well, I now know how to respond to the religious kind of approach.

May Ceiling Cat be with you. Ktkx.

    I love the lolcats too, and find I Can Have A Cheezburger hilarious. If only more people were into it….

    what does lolcat MEAN anyway?

    I thought lol meant Laugh Out Loud…

    I actually think there are plenty of people interested. They just happen to be all online and we can’t find any IRL :P

    As for what it means… Well…
    LOL does mean that… Cat + lolspeak (language that is idiosyncratic and funny) = lolcat, maybe?
