Smart Bitches Trashy Books | All of the romance, none of the bullshit.

My wife teases me about how much I love the LOLCAT phenomenon.

I swear I check I Can Has Cheezbuger? and Cute Overload compulsively throughout the day.

Nothing gets me over the taste of a bad 90-minute tech support call like an AIEEE CUTESYBABY SEAL picture.

The LOLCATS are even spreading to economists and Macintoshes.

Flee! Flee the cuteness, if you can!

I don’t, in general, get the lolcat thing but, yes. So many authors could save their precious words and just paste that image into the heroine’s backstory! Heh.

Confirmation word: figures97. Fitting for a discussion of heroines and their figures, I think?

Gooody gooody keep em coming!

In the past five minutes I’ve thought up 15 romance novel lolcats.

This is using up more brainpower than even the Virgin Atlantic commercial.

I was first exposed to the lolcat phenomenon here, at this site.

I may never forgive you.

But the Lucy Monroe comment made me snigger.

I love the LOLcats.  But perhaps, even slightly more, I loves me some LOLpresidents.  Srsly.

No lolTrek?

The things I learn on the internet - dare I admit I had never heard of LOLcats (though I suppose I have seen them) Kittens just have such earnest little faces they are perfect for this sort of “work” :)

I’m trying very hard not to follow the links above or I really won’t get anything else done today…

And then there’s one of my favorite sites, lolgay! (Not totally worksafe)

Must add lolbrarians (warning: heavy on the inside jokes) and lol-pilgrims, as envisioned by Geoffrey Chaucer to the list.

And one of the most creative places on the net, Making Light, has a lolpoetry open thread going right now. You haven’t lived until you’ve read the lolcat sonnet. I R SRS.

Still laughing about this, two days later.
