JULY 25, 2007

I’m sorry.  Yes, first and foremost, I am sorry.  But it had to be done, it was going to be done by someone, eventually, and I wanted to be the first.

If you have not heard of lolcats, I am sorry because you will either a) become addicted to seeking out more and more (and, omygod, just . . . one . . . more and then I swear I’ll turn the computer off . . .), or b) be so baffled and so not amused as to curse me and never talk to me again and perhaps give up all hope for humanity, or at least the internet.  

(For a primer on the phenomenon, read this article from Slate or just be satisfied with this: lolcats are photos of cats with captions that seem to be written by the felines themselves, generally with improper spellings, because apparently you can’t type very well if you lack opposable thumbs (or something like that).  For other animals/objects/whatevers, substitute the appropriate noun for "cat" (e.g. lolbunny, loldog).)

And if you are aware of lolcats already, I am also sorry, because you are probably in one of those two categories, so what you see below will either cause a relapse of addiction (and just after you finally joined Lolcats Anonymous and started to get your life back together) or misanthropy (dammit, I log back onto the internets after a month, I install all the filters so I can avoid this asinine felines-meet-Photoshop crap, and now this guy goes and ruins it for me again . . . I’m going go live in a cave).  Or, perhaps, you’ll just think they’re just stupid — lolcats are funny, you say, but this is not lol.  The lol____ phenomenon has hereby jumped the lolshark.  

You might be right.  But if a lolrus can be humorous — and frankly, I don’t know of anything that is inherently funnier than a lolrus — and a walrus looks something like a spleen or an appendix with appendages, then perhaps there is hope for actual internal organs.  I mean, not a gallbladder.  Certainly not a kidney.  Not funny.  But . . .   

Ladies and gentlemen of the internets, I give you . . . the lolcolon (a.k.a. lolgut). 







Once I got started, I kind of couldn't stop.  Again: sorry.  Click here for some more. 

And if anyone sends me their own lolcolons, I'll post those, too, and give you credit (please send only low-res jpeg files, and put "lolcolon" in the subject line).

All colon images used without permission (so sorry for that, too) but with only the best intentions (and no profit) in mind.
