do lolcatz speak 1337? or is there another term for this? similar to this question, but different. leet/1337 speak is when it's numerals + alpha, right? is there a (common) name for the lolcatz-speak? should i be using "1337" and i'm just being overly skeptical?

please, help me to get my geek on in an accurate manner.

A fun holiday diversion: help me make my LOLcat Christmas card! Here are the two pictures I'm considering - what are some funny lol-quotes to add to them?

i can has cheezburger has stopped displaying images when I view it at work - help! When I look at the site at work the text displays fine but no images. I can click on the image titles to go through to the comments, but still no pictures.

We have WebSense but that usually blocks the site completely and gives a message about the site category.

I have used lolcats in presentations, so I could go to IT and explain this and ask them if they are blocking access, but I think exemption requests have to go through the Exec Director.

Can anyone explain what's happening here and if there's any way to view the images?

I do know there are other lolcat/cat macros sites, but prefer ican for my lolcat needs.

LOLcats teach us that cats can write, they just don't have very good spelling or grammar. The same idea has been used in advertising ("Eat Mor Chikin") and of course Far Side cartoons. Was Gary Larson the father of this concept, or were there other places where it was pervasive before he came along? There are some comics like Pogo and Krazy Kat where the characters spoke in dialect, but what I'm looking for is a bit different, comedy where animals as animals rather than as anthropomorphic human substitutes can write, but can't spell well.
