lolCats

Apparently there's a phenomenon going on out there on the interwebs called lolCats .

From what I understand they're just pictures of cats with silly or absurd captions alluding to the cats' (or other animals) intentions or desires with amusing misspellings.


Good for a larf.

OEF Challenge: M&M your Friends

Leslie & I were talking over IM, and discovered that we'd both made M&M's of ourselves. She wasn't crazy about the one she'd made for herself, so I offered to make her. Thus, an OEF challenge is born. The rules are you can't get fancy with Photoshop--you have to use the options available on the website, as shabby as they may be.

Above you have my personal M&M, as well as my Leslie & Hench.

My Me Choices: I don't have any special excuse for my choice in shell color, besides the fact that I'm sorta tan most of the year. And I looked weird purple. The hair selection over at becomeanmm.com was sort of vexing, so I settled on this once I accepted the fact that I was going to have to abandon any semblance of reality as I was making a self-portrait if I were an M&M candy. The glasses are easy because my glasses are purple and sorta look like those. Same thing with the shoes, except I added a dash of purple to color-coordinate with the glasses. The tiki drink is an omage to a favorite glass/cup of mine that I found in a shop in Cape May lots of years ago. It holds the perfect amount of beverage and could very well double as a weapon as it weighs like 3 pounds.


My Leslie Choices: I settled on Leslie's lovely greenish/silverish hue because that is the designer Ralph Lauren color that she recently settled on for an accent wall in her house. Her hair color is a throwback to the color it was when I met her, and the shortness/choppiness is a throwback to the haircut from hell she received by visiting Captain Zig-Zag next to Gray's Pharmacy. Athletic socks because she is at the gym like every minute, and headphones because she is a voracious consumer of music.


My Hench Choices: Hench is blue in honor of the first car she drove when I knew her, and her current one. Her eyes are all wonky because of her recent Lasik-related troubles, not because she's about to go postal (though she might). Her hair is another unfortunate victim of poor choices in the character creator, and I didn't want to use the same hair as I did for mine, so she's just wearing a pony tail. Yellow flip-flops to go to the beach, and Bobo hot from the dryer!


This was fun.
