They parodied everyone in the E Street Band perfectly except for Max Weinberg.

Ahhh, this online game brings back memories! When I was an undergrad in college, I was a member of the Handbell Choir .. So when a long-time reader of mine sent this online game, HandBell Hero, to me, I had a lot of fun playing with it and so I (of course) had to share it with you, too.

LOLTheist: Blasphemy is Teh Funneh
Because LOLcats plus Jesus Equals High-larity!

An animated tribute to the internet people of the world, wherever you may be. Animated by Dan Meth, with music by Dan Meth and Micah Frank.

Sad that I recognize almost every thing in that video. (Hooray, flugel horns and creative commons!)

Let's talk about lolcats. Lolcats, or cat macros, are a subset of image macros. They're pictures of cats with captions typed across them. In essence they're the "Hang In There Baby" posters gone feral.

Anil Dash has a great post about them, in which he identifies a number of lolcat subclasses and discusses kitty pidgin, the mangled English used in many lolcat pictures. Kitty pidgin is surprisingly regular, which I suppose means, as Anil Dash puts it, that cats can has regular grammar.

A number of sites collect lolcat pictures, among them I Can Has Cheezburger and Meme Cats. If you browse through those sites, you'll quickly get a feel for how lolcats work. If you're inspired to make your own, remember: use Impact or Arial Black, and put a black outline around white letters.

While this is nice and all, I quickly realized that there are no long-form lolcat works. The closest is Spatch's wonderful Cat Town, and it's only a relative to lolcats. That set my fevered brain to spinning: what would a lolcat story look like? What if lolcats had a TV channel? What kind of shows would be on it?

The answer is clear: they would show Star Trek.

And of course they do the tribble episode. Comedy gold.
