Despite my best efforts to resist, I love LOLcats. I spent some procrastination time today reading Anil Dash's respectful analysis of the LOL culture. And then I followed some links to these much less erudite but fucking hilarious creations:

*nice to see unguarded moments of joy in these guys.

*i wish i could have more pity for the poor woman, and i did up until about 3 months ago.

*never thought of the similarities before.

*the wise dude i pay to listen to me once a week often reminds me of the difference between childlike and childish. childlike is great, childish is something to be left behind. the humor in this one is definitely childish. but it made me laugh out loud in the cold dark office i'm sitting in. (self pity is never very appealing. so why do we engage in it so often?)
