travels with ben and judy, pt. 1  
judy: you know, those "steep grade" warnings for the trucks, they'd make a more dramatic impression for me if the cab had a stick figure coming out of it with a scared face and flailing arms.

ben: i want all highway signs remade in LOLCATS.

judy: oh! like, when you cross the state line from pennsylvania into maryland, it says O HAI! I UPGRADED YR PA.

ben: [nods] and when you leave, KTHXBYE.

judy: ...OH NOES!!1! DANGEROUS MOUNTAIN!**

ben: on the exit signs, replace the burger king with YOU CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER, EXIT 16.

judy: WE'RE IN YER LEFT LANE, DETOURIN YER COMMUTERS.

ben: MY SIGNAL, LET ME SHOW YOU IT.

judy: for toll booths: YOUR OFFERING PLEASES HIGHWAY AUTHORITY CAT.

ben: in areas where there are cameras and speed radars, there could be a warning sign that reads BIG BROTHER CAT IS WATCHING YOU VIOLATE.

judy: and when you get ticketed, the form header would read STATE TROOPER CAT IS NOT AMUSED.

ben: ...it's probably a good thing that we aren't in charge.

**there really are a set of signs just outside ohiopyle that warn (with progressive intensity) "DANGEROUS MOUNTAIN AHEAD." we would have stopped to take a picture as proof, but really. there was a dangerous mountain ahead. it was important to stay vigilant.

You guys have more amusing car trips than I do with my family. I tried to explain lolcats to my sister and she said "I don't like your robot language."

lolcats cannot be explained. it must be experienced!

mwhahaha! u r exprnced, y/n?

family, as i remember it, was a whole different story. all conversation is drowned out by the sporting event over the car speakers and any participating siblings were plugged into their personal noise boxes anyway.

ben and i have developed a small lolcats-speak problem. we need to check ourselves before going out in public. "okay, remember, it's 'i'd like' or 'can i have,' not 'i can has....'"

lol. That post made me laugh a lot. :)

it was fun to write. :-)

Alternate the burger king replacement with

NOM NOM NOM NOM THIS WAY
[info]anonymousblack on July 16th, 2008 03:08 am (UTC)
LOL! we actually discussed that, as well. :-)

whenever my boyfriend catches me looking at LOLCATS he just shakes his head sadly.

Will I see you tomorrow? I'm editing down our andres alonso interview from this afternoon for the second half of the show. ill be up for at least two more hours doing this...sigh!

ben understands LOLCATS can be a powerful stress reduction tool and will pull up the apple forums caturday thread when he sees me starting to pull at my hair. LOLCATS is great. i'll link you along if i see anything good.

i made this last year. in general, parker's just a little too stately to be LOLed, but, you know, that can work in other ways. i've got two other shots of him that shriek for captions, but i'm stuck.

yes, c is picking j and i up on her way in, so we'll be there. two more hours... yikes. i'd offer to bring in a thermos of my very potent wake-up chai, but it's too harsh black and i've not yet been able to figure out how to sub out the dairy (rice milk does NOT take well to being boiled... neither does soy, but i wouldn't do that to you anyway!)

OOO! Grammar cat! This will come in handy when dealing with "Internet:Serious Business" types that try and take down an argument based on grammatical mistakes.

see you tomorrow!

I think your scheme would be a huge improvement over current signage!

this is one of the funniest things i've ever read. stephen and i have developed a severe case of the lol-speak, and we tend to both confuse, and annoy, friends and family.

especially with our OH HAI!

we also like to change bumper stickers. the jesus fish becomes the ceiling cat.
[info]anonymousblack on July 18th, 2008 09:13 pm (UTC)
hee, like i said, we do quick "going into public" check overs to remind ourselves that lolcats speak, meerkat noises and gratuitous groping/exhibitionism is not appropriate behavior in front of people who are not us. after four days in the wilderness alone, man, it was really hard to shake that. it's probably for the slight best that i didn't have a job interview waiting for me on the south side of that trip!

if the jesus fish is ceiling cat, what's the darwin fish?

[info]destinydai on July 18th, 2008 10:53 pm (UTC)
i guess that would make the darwin fish ... dinner?

I laughed out loud the entire time reading this. I think road trips would be MUCH MUCH MUCH better with LOLcat signage everywhere.

[info]anonymousblack on July 18th, 2008 09:14 pm (UTC)
yes!!! maybe we could have translations for the uninitiated. ;-)
[info]hill_enchantres on July 18th, 2008 08:46 pm (UTC)
ROFLMAO. Nice. Tnx.

judy cat appreciates your comment. :-)
