LOLCat Bible

03mosesandburningbushcat

Ich hatte keine Ahnung, das LOLCat-Fanatiker seit 2007 an einer Übersetzung der Bibel in LOLSpeak arbeiten. Gott ist darin Ceiling Cat, Satan ist Basement Cat. Die Übersetzung ist fast komplett (!) und kommt 2010 als Katzenbuch aller Katzenbücher. Hier der erste und der letzte Satz aus der Genesis: „1 Oh hai. In teh beginnin Ceiling Cat maded teh skiez An da Urfs, but he did not eated dem. 31 An Ceiling Cat sayed, Beholdt, teh good enouf for releaze as version 0.8a. kthxbai.“

Klingt nach einem Buch, das ich haben muss. LA Weekly hat ein Interview mit dem Initiator der Aktion, Martin Grondin, und darin erklärt der, dass Basement und Ceiling Cat früher mal ziemlich dicke Buddys waren, bevor Ceiling Cat ihn pwnte. Jeez!

Is there an LOL cat devil? What is LOL cat hell like?



There is Basement Cat. The road to the Basement is full of catnip and lose. Basement Cat hates all things good and does not like Ceiling 
Cat, even though they used to be best buds way back in the day before Ceiling Cat pwned Basement Cat.

 The Basement is everything cats hate. It’s dirty, it’s wet, and it’s
 ull of things that go bump and squirt bottles. Can you imagine a cat
 trying to go through eternity of getting squirt by a squirt bottle? 
All the more reason to follow Ceiling Cat faithfully!

Is Ceiling Cat a kind and loving god, or is he a god of fire and brimstone?



Ceiling Cat is a god of Cheezburgers and cookiez and of pwnzors and lazer eyez. You have to watch out. If you are on his good side you will get chin rubs and cheezburgers, but if you get on his bad side he
will pwn you.



Is Ceiling Cat even a “he”? Or is he a “she”? Also, what breed of cat is
 Ceiling Cat?

Ceiling Cat tends to be referred to as a he, but in reality, he
transcends gender and breed. Much like Plato believed in his Theory of
Forms that all objects gained their essence through an ideal of that
object, all cats derive their catness through Ceiling Cat. He is the essence of cat.

Grade eben meinte ich noch so, das Internet wäre früher aber auch irgendwie besser gewesen, aber wahrscheinlich hätte ich halt mittlerweile, nach nun immerhin fast 5 Jahren WTF-Fischerei in den endlosen Weiten des Cyberspace, eben doch alles gesehen.

Und dann poppte das heutige Short auf TeeFure in meinem Feedreader auf: Der Pate mit der LOLCat. He’z can make him a Cheezburger he won’t refuze.

Behind the Memes: Kickin’ It With the I Can Has Cheezburger? Kids

It all started with a picture of a cat. In early 2007, after a bad day at work, Eric Nakagawa asked his friend Kari Unebasami to send him a photo of something cute to make him feel better. She sent over a few cat images, superimposed with phonetically spelled phrases, or LOLspeak, and the two knew they’d found their calling. They launched I Can Haz Cheezburger?, a site dedicated to the popular mashed-up images of animals.

Shortly after the site launched, the two became inundated with submissions, and could barely maintain the work flow. “I was considering just ending the site,” said Nakagawa. “It was too much work.”

Lolcat site hiring; spelling skillz optional

“I can haz dream Job? My rezumez! let me showz u thm”

That’s the subject line of a cover letter sent by a job applicant to I Can Has Cheezburger, one of the premier sites for so-called Lolcat pictures.

Don’t think the letter will be rejected out of hand — bad spelling is no obstacle to a job in Lolcat world. It may even be an asset.
