This repost is part of our Summer Slowdown program of revisiting the blog archives, and was originally published in February 2006. I’m including this not because it’s anything special as a piece of writing, but because of how times seem to have changed so quickly over the last few years regarding meatspace meetups of cyberbuddies – I don’t think anyone hardly bats an eye any more.
Month: January 2011
Thursday Cheezburger – Over it
It doesn’t matter what you are over – Cheezy musak in shopping centres, Christmas, New Year resolutions, cricket on the TV, your team losing cricket on the TV, school holidays, Hot Cross buns in the shops already (I sincerely hope that they aren’t but neither would I be surprised); here is where you can let all your frustrations out using Lolcats.
Post your own favourite in-theme Cheez here, and wait for admin image magic to make it appear.

Facetious Observation Of The Day
