I can has privacy?

Still not entirely played out for me yet: lolcats. Here are some of my favorites, along with a special bonus link.

For me, the key to the enduring charm of lolcats isn't the pictures, but the captions. These can make or break a lolcat, shooting them into inter-stellar internet comedy, or plummeting them into rocky mundanity. A skilled lolcat captioner is worth their weight in gold.

On this first one, what's working for me is the caption, which did indeed make me lol:

1. I was waiting for you to call

This second one relies on your knowledge of the backstory:

2. O HAI GOOGLZ

And my all-time favorite, because of its ambition to be the War and Peace of lolcats:

3. srsly…

The photos are from an article that appeared in the Daily Mail about a cat that rides the bus:

"Driver Bill Khunkhun, 49, who first saw the cat jumping from the bus in January, said: 'It is really odd, the first time I saw the cat jumping off the bus with a group of passengers. I hadn't seen it get on which was a bit confusing.

'The next day I pulled up on Churchill Road to let a couple of passengers on. As soon as I opened the doors the cat ran towards the bus, jumped on and ran under one of the seats, I don't think any of the passengers noticed.

'Because I had seen it jump off the day before I carried on driving and sure enough when I stopped just down the road he jumped off - I don't know why he would catch the bus but he seems to like it. I told some of the other drivers on this route and they have seen him too.'

Since January, when the cat first caught the bus he has done it two or three times a week and always gets on and off at the same stops."

Srsly? Well, maybe a story manufactured for the Daily Mail, and maybe not.

That's about all I have to say on lolcats.
