So, this amused me.

Sorry Girl.

HAI

Two things. First, programming in lolcat. Anyone who has read Godel, Escher, Bach knows that it doesn’t take much for a rules system (or program code) to be functional. These guys are close to some workable syntax. And it’s fairly readable, if you know are familiar with the kittehs. Of course, this is helped by the fact that, while lolcats or Cat Macros are broken English and bad spelling, they are largely regimented. It’s always “Hai” for “Hello” or “I can has cheezburger” for the canonical question. If it weren’t so regular, there’d be no way to produce a programming language out of it (much less an interpreter for that language, which I’m sure will come as soon as they settle some more of the syntax).

Also, there have been several perversions of this — proving that no meme goes unchanged, especially popular ones. First there’s the political lolpresidents, both at a wordpress blog, and as a fark photoshopping contest. And secondly (Girl you might like this one, but no gaurantees) someone did LolRocky, which had a few laugh out loud moments for me, most notably, “I can has neck“.

KTHXBAI

There. That’s all I’ll say about that unless something else truly astounding happens. Or SexyWife starts making them, but she’ll probably user her own blog for that.

And here I thought the warning in the first line would be enough.
