True Internet Dork Mom Confessions Vol III

(I fully realize that no one else in the world finds these posts as funny as I do. But I live each day clinging to the hope that one day all other humans senses of humor will grow to be as sophisticated and honed to a razor sharp edge as mine. snort.)

Per usual, the following is ripped from the headlines actual idle timewasting IM conversations between myself and Kelly (aka kdiddy) last evening:

kdiddy: i was telling Tom that the first two times i got rick rolled, i didn't know what rick rolling was
kdiddy: and i thought people were just sending me a video of rick astley and i was like, "oh word. thanks! this is my jam"
Sweetney: rickrolling is getting close to jumping the shark IMHO. it's almost 10 days since i first became vaguely aware of it. SO passe.
kdiddy: hahahah
kdiddy: it's vaguely classic though
kdiddy: it won't have the fervent following of lolcats
kdiddy: but may pop up every few years a la all your base
Sweetney: yeah, and probably be funnier each time
kdiddy: of course, in about two months there will be an article about it in the wall street journal
Sweetney: because of all the accumulated funny
kdiddy: and we'll be like "KEEP UP GAWD"
Sweetney: stupid people from the previous generation!
Sweetney: why don't you go have a fucking cold war or something. GAWD!
kdiddy: rofl
kdiddy: i was telling angela that the kids in my marketing class don't really...get the internet
Sweetney: did you get up yet?
Sweetney: after rolling on the floor and laughing, i mean
kdiddy: yes, i'm up. cold wars bring the lulz
Sweetney: how old are they, these marketing kids?
kdiddy: dude, they're like 21
kdiddy: and they're all, "who reads blogs?"
Sweetney: WOAH
kdiddy: they don't think that blogs will play any kind of serious role in new media
Sweetney: the internet is OVER
kdiddy: and i'm like "you're just fucking stupid"
Sweetney: that's creepy man
kdiddy: but anyway, we were talking about marketing strategies of jones soda
Sweetney: maybe the next gen is gonna give the web the bird
kdiddy: and my prof pulled up the site and they had an example of one of their lolcat bottles
Sweetney: rad
kdiddy: and they were like, "what are lolcats?"
kdiddy: dude.
Sweetney: NO!
kdiddy: you should have seen me trying to explain that shit
Sweetney: NO! NO WAY!
Sweetney: how many of these weirdos are in your class
kdiddy: i was all, like, upset
kdiddy: because FUCKING LOLCATS MAN
Sweetney: reality = FUCKED WITH
kdiddy: and so i'm going, "well, there are these pictures of cats...and you add captions to them in impact font"
Sweetney: (snort!)
kdiddy: "but there's a certain grammar that you have to use"
kdiddy: "and generally a few key phrases"
Sweetney: without certain vowels
kdiddy: "and also there's the lolbible..."
kdiddy: they were probably horrified
Sweetney: that's just insanity
kdiddy: they looked at me like, "you are most certainly smoking crack, madam"
Sweetney: so you were the old crazy crack lady today? talking about CATS?
kdiddy: then i started speaking in lolcat to try to help illustrate
kdiddy: "den ceiling cat sez 'i can haz light'"
kdiddy: i eventually gave up
Sweetney: before they straightjacketed you
kdiddy: precisely
