Create an LOLcat

For tonight's fun, we decided to create our own LOLcat. If you're not familiar with LOLcats, it's basically a web phenomenon by which people take pictures of cats and then add humorous captions. Generally, the captions are from the perspective of cats, which presumably would make various spelling and grammatical errors if they could type. The leading site for this (of which Jim and Bailey are enthusiastic fans) is called icanhascheezburger.com.

To create our LOLcat, we flipped through some photos of our own kitties, Sotheby and Trillian. As it turned out, Bailey had taken a perfect photo of Sotheby. So, we put that up on the screen and spent a few minutes coming up with various captions. In the end, we selected Wendi's contribution, and then we all took a few minutes to ensure that it was appropriately grammatically incorrect. In the end, our LOLcat was as follows:



We were all quite pleased with it, and we submitted it to icanhascheezburger.com, in hopes that they'll post it for all to enjoy. If they do, we'll link to it here. :-)

What else fun can we do for an hour? Leave a suggestion as a comment! We would like to pick things on a regular basis. If a suggestion if inspiring to you and you complete one of the activities, be sure to send us a pic!
