The Ratliff compels, and one obeys.
Well, OK: Clancy wrote, “Mike, you HAVE to do an I Can Has Cheezburger? image,” but while I can read and parody LOLKitteh, I’m far from being a native or even adequate speaker.
I’m doing my best to learn LOLKitteh, certainly, particularly given its recent emergence as one of the fundamental philosophical discourses of modernity. My efforts, however, yield slight return. Tink and Zeugma regard me indulgently as I practice the tense-shifts and contractions, but when I attempt to engage them in LOLKitteh, they flee to the litterboxen.
As Clancy has demonstrated, though, LOLKitteh allows us to speak of that which other discourses and other interlocutors (our friend and colleague Joanna Howard comes immediately to mind) forbid. There is, for example, the practice of interrogating so-called ‘flavor’ as sociocultural and affective construct.
However, my lack of LOLKitteh fluency has stymied attempts at adequately describing the above interaction.
Your captions are welcomed.
Don’t forget my lolcat.
Oh, and I love the DO NOT WANT lolcats too.
Shit. I thought I’d linked it in there somewhere. My bad. Is that one of yours?

How about: “At 8 p.m., we’ll break out of here for Aunt Joanna’s. She’ll let us speak cat and give us funny hats to wear. Until then, pretend you like his speech.”
Revision of Elfinugget, with apologies to T & Z:
Flavorz hasted! Less leekings, moar whackings!
And, well, not even really apologies: that’s a pretty accurate representation of T & Z’s activities this past weekend.
It’s a picture of a friend’s cat, but the lolkitteh caption is all mine.
