why is the media calling Caturday> lolcat. It defeats the whole collection of images with "YAH ITS CATURDAY" (ref Time Magazine)

It was called lolcat first. Caturday came from the lolcat images, and is just a recurring theme, like "i'm in ur ______, _____ing ur _______".

Cheezburger widget

How hard would it be to make a widget that randomly pulls an image from icanhascheezburger.com? I have never tried to make a widget before but I think I might have to give it a shot.

It should be easy...

There's already one for Konfabulator that has their blessing:

I think they'd actually appreciate it, if you let them post about it. :)

translate por favor. :eek:

The lolcat pic says "I would like a Quarter Pounder with Cheese" in French. If he had wanted a Big Mac, it would have been the same, except over there they call it Le Big Mac. You could ask "what do they call a Whopper?", but I would't know cause I didn't go into Burger King.

The text below says Frenchie lolcats have better grammar than their English lol-ing counterparts. No word on which gives a better foot massage.

@ shecky and Cortexrock, thank you. We both like them. Our cats love playing in empty soda boxes for some reason.

The caption reads "I would like a cheeseburger?"... I was commenting that the French kitten has better grammar than our American lolcats. :)

The NYTimes briefly mentioned icanhascheezburger today... he is doing amazingly well for himself:

Dan Mitchell said:
... Web sites like “I Can Has Cheezburger?” must be frustrating for big media companies that are trying to make money from Web publishing.

The site (icanhascheezburger.com) is nothing more than funny captions with pictures of animals, but it pulls in enough money that its owner was able to quit his job as a software developer. Eric Nakagawa, who started the site in January, says that he sells ads for $500 to $4,000 a week and that he makes about $5,600 a month for himself.

Happy Caturday, everyone! :)

In ur Nursing Homez, predicting ur deathz.
1185413651280qr9.jpg


PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours.

His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live.

“He doesn’t make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when patients are about to die,” said Dr. David Dosa in an interview. He describes the phenomenon in a poignant essay in Thursday’s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

it5five I love the cats in the boxes, I can't think of a good caption but they're funny.

OMFG. I love the "toopay" one! :D The expression on that cat's face is purrfect! :p Teehee.
I laughed for quite a while when I saw it. I always hear it in my head much like the "mah spoon is too big!" skit, but more slick and cat-like, of course. :p

a new one:
