Hearing Blitzkrieg Bop -- the Ramones
This meme's been bobbing around the Web for a year or so, and it finally hit BoingBoing this week -- which is where I heard about it.
Much like the O RLY thing, it's pretty simple: just text on a photo follwing a standard format: The photo is a wacky shot of a cat, and the text is usually (but not always) "Im in/on yr (noun), (verbing) yr (noun)." It's supposed to be spelt in l33t-speak, you're not reading it wrong.
Explaining a meme or any joke always kills it, though -- and something tells me that high-level promotion at the world's biggest media company will do to this what hitting the top 40 did to the Chili Peppers.
Here's a few hilarious examples of the thing, all of which I
A) discovered via BoingBoing and
B) still e-mail to my friends:
Shadowdane.Shackspace
Knitemare.org
for some reason, the Ridemonkey.com forums
Minor content warning there for the more sensitive among you. You should know who you are by now. I've made two samples myself -- bilingually, no less:
This is really, really fun, and I don't even LIKE cats -- you guys want to try?
Let's give it a shot. You can do it a few different ways -- the more adventurous among you can shoot and title your own cat photos. Or, just post a cat photo on your blog for other folks to grab and re-title. Leave links to your creations -- or ones that you find -- in my comments, and I'll post a roundup later in the week.

I tried again with a different video and it worked just fine. For some reason I just couldn't get any of the KOZO ones to load... weird. Anyhow, thanks again, I appreciate the help. Dorn

dornbrau -- I was just able to embed a YouTube video with no problems into a test journal. All I did was copy all the "embed" code from YouTube and paste it into the HTML view of a new entry. Make sure you're in HTML view -- that one gets me every time. (posted and mailed)
