Bob Juch's "I can haz cheezburger" avatar prompted me to do a little online investigating, and I have discovered the world of "lolcats". More than that, I've even found a site where the Bible is being translated into "lolcatspeak". For instance, the Ten Commandments rendered into "lolcatspeak" looks like this:

1 Then Ceiling Cat spoked all them werds:

2 I iz Ceiling Cat An I iz Top Cat, An I broughted u out of hawt lend wit no cheezbrgrs for hard werk at all

3 No can has other ceiling cat!! U gotz other Ceiling Cat, I shoot yous wit mah lazer eyes.

4 If u try be Ceiling Cat of any of mai creayshunz up in floaty skai, down in erth or in watr or I shoot yous wit mah lazer eyes.5 If u think faek Ceiling Cat iz Ceiling Cat, I mek u ded An ur children ded An ur children-children ded, for being stupid.6 If not I wuv u An all ur childrenz-childrenz-childrenz!

7 U sez Ceiling Cat bad, I shoot yous wit mah lazer eyes, for I dun liek it. Srsly.

8 Remembur caturday An keep holy.9 U werk 6 dais An finish werk, K?10 Caturday, u no werk. U An all ur peepz go wrship me.11 I maded heavenz An erth An see An the stuff that does teh funney hoppey stuffz in An on it - so I make it holy cuz I no werk.

12 Bez u good to papa An mama so u has long lief.

13 U no mek peepz ded!

14 U no mek sexxes wit other gurlz or menz than ur wief (so no awsum treesum alowed!).

15 U no tek stuffs for free if not getz for free.

16 U no tell bad stuff about ur neibor.

17 U no wantz neibor stuff! No wief, no gurlz, no menz, no animulz, NO BUKKITZ! NOT YOURS.

Hmmm....

Maybe I can get my youth group to memorize verses from this version with more success than the NIV version we are using now.

Jeff said that the "I can haz cheezburger" cat just died. I don't know if this is a urban myth.

My girls love the cats.

I don't know if you saw my post from a few weeks ago, here is a link to the LOL Cat Bible:
http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Genesis_1

I like how they call "God" the "Ceiling Cat."

When I found out about the LOL Cat Bible, the first thing I checked out was the 23rd Psalm.

Matthew 1

1 Dis book of genie-ologee of Jesuz Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:2 Abraham maded Isaac, Isaac maded Jacob, Jacob maded Judah and hiz bros.3 Judah maded Perez and Zerah wit Tamar. Perez maded Hezron, and Hezron maded Ram.4 Ram maded Amminadab, Amminadab maded Nashon and Nashon maded Salmon. Not liek the fish, lol.5 Salmon maded Boaz, Boaz maded Obed by umpsing Ruth, Obed maded Jesse6 and Jesse maded King David teh king. King David teh king maded Solomon by umpsing sum chick that used to made peoples wit Uriah. Lol, Uriah got pwned.7 Solomon maded Rehoboam, Rehoboam maded Abijah and Abijah maded Asa.8 Asa maded Jehoshaphat, and he maded Jehoram and Jehoram maded Uzziah.9 Uzziah maded Jotham, Jotham maded Ahaz and Ahaz maded Hezekiah.10 Hezekiah maded Manasseh, Manasseh maded Amon and Amon maded Josiah.11 Josiah maded Jeconiah and hiz bros, was bout when they was carryeded to Babblylon.12 And after they was in Babblylon Jeconiah maded Shealtiel, and Shealtiel maded Zerubbabel13 Zerubbabel maded Abiud, Abiud maded Eliakim and Eliakim maded Azor.14 Azor maded Zadok, Zadok maded Akim and Akim maded Eliud.15 Eliud maded Eleazar, Eleazar maded Matthan and Matthan maded Jacob.16 And Jacob maded Joseph. dat wuz alot uv baybi makinn. Joseph was teh mister of Mary, and she maded Jesus, who gets called Christ, liek all teh time. Srsly.17 So all teh genenerayshuns from Abraham to David am 14 genenerayshuns, frm David to gettin lockeded up in Babblylon am 14 genenerayshuns, and frm gettin lockeded up in Babblylon to teh Christ am 14 genenerayshuns. Srsly.

18 Now, teh burth of teh Christ was liek dis: After Marry and Joseph waz all "We's gonna get marrieded, kthnx", but before dey could had hankiez pankiez Mary was all pr3ggerz from Teh Forse.19 Joseph was liek "I has virjn - NOOOO dey be stealin my virjn! Must hied hur".20 But when he was tihnkin, zomg, a WallCat frm Ceiling Cat was liek, "Oh hai! I'm in ur dreemz, givin u messij. Don't be scairdy cat. Take Mary as ur wife - is virjn. But teh Forse is strong in tihs wun, lol! HoverCat is on hur, givn hur feetus, srsly.21 "And she gonna made a son, and you gonna call him Jeezus, cuz he save kittehs frum bein bad kittehs. Kthxbai."22 So all dis was all did cuz Ceiling Cat had sed it wud be. His proffet was all liek:23 "Hay guise, look! teh virjn iz all pr3ggers, and dey gonna call him Immanuel", dat be joospeek for "Ceiling Cat wit us"24 Then Joseph waked up, done wat teh angel frm Ceiling Cat tolded him to, and was all liek "U wit me now lol" at Mary.25 And dey didnt has teh HARBL GOES WHERE!?!? til affer dey gets a son and calleded him Jeezus. Ktnx.

I have never heard of it, either. Unlike the daring earendel, I am delving no further. Just trying to read these posts started a stabbing pain behind my right eye. (I think it's sort of like epilepsy and red.)

I didn't even attempt to skim the last two. Ouch!

Well, not for the butchering of the Bible, but for the substances everyone has apparently been smoking to find this stuff funny.

Tennis man, I think it's more derived out of younger persons' text messaging, abbreviating, and like that. Slang. If you check out the site you'll see actual words, too.

Not to say that it's not all frivolous and goofy. But, for some reason I'm just pleased by these lolcats. It's all just stupid. I love it.

I don't think the Chantix works on *that* stuff.

FWIW, I think, hey, maybe it's a little wacky but it does get some people who would never read the Bible at all to take in a verse or two, maybe something will stick. I prefer the NIV, sure, but I think the LOLCat translation is amusing. I like looking up my favorite verses to see what they are in lolcat.
