What is a "lolcat"?

Hi, welcome to the internet.
I will be your guide.

Lolcats are pictures of cats together with a grammatically incorrect caption.
Recognized as funny by trolls.
Trolls are 13 y/os or people acting like 13 y/os online. You do not want to be a troll.

See this for examples.

You know, those pix of cats and a caption
they are too cute!!!

lolcats

XKCD explains

They are an overused meme that should die very soon.

@Ivan has fast fingers…

There’s a nice article here about the phenomenon and how someone’s getting very wealthy on it.

@Eambos Haha, ninja’d!

oh

Oh, those! Holy crap, get me out of here! Sorry everyone! I just saw the sibling questions to this one, such as, “Can I haz cheezeburger?” Though it made me very hungry, it also made me aware of my horrible, horrible mistake. Please don’t associate me with this question. Can I have this moderated (unless I’m getting lurve for it, hee hee)?

excellent article, syz!

It’s a pussy with a sense of humor.

Flying targets too.

@VzzBzz Similar to “sail cats” (roadkill cats that are flat and sun-dried that fly like Frisbees™)?

Sail cats are a kid’s treasure find!

Speaking of lost treasures @VzzBzz, looky what I found (with help): http://www.fluther.com/disc/39013/can-you-tell-me-the-name-of-this-movie-about-women/

OMG! They’re everywhere!!! Even in my Fluther!!!

I can haz no more lolcats?

Like, ever?

@ru2bz46 I’m amazed that someone else remember’s Sail Cat.

I watched some really fucked up cartoons as a kid…

@boots Was Sail Cat a cartoon character? When I was a kid, we actually scraped up the dry flat pussy and chucked it.

@ru2bz46 It was on the cartoon, Cow and Chicken.

@boots I only saw Cow and Chicken a few times. I don’t remember any Sail Cat. I’m sure that was way funny, though.

12 gauge + you + lol cat = pull!
12 gauge + me + lol cat + pull! = splat

@hungryhungryhortence Sure, rub it in. At least I hit more lol cats than you on the rifle range. :P

@ru2bz46: gimme lasik and let’s level the field.

@hungryhungryhortence Why would I take away my advantage? :P
