Yes, above is Cheezburger himself, Mr. Ben Huh. The icanhascheezburger megacorporation had a book launch in San Francisco to celebrate Fail Nation: A visual romp through epic fails, Graph Out Loud: Music. Movies. Graphs. Awesome., and the second ICHC book, How To Take Over Teh World: A lolcat guide 2 winning. The last follows in the footsteps of the fucking NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING first book and contains my favorite lolcat:
YESSS. I love me some lolcats. To the point where, upon learning of this event tonight and not being able to get a single person to come with me, I went alone. ALONE. I picked up a beer and kinda awkwardly stood around, flipping through the books and tapping on my iPhone as if I was texting, “Where the eff are you?” even though I wasn’t waiting for anyone. Eventually a kindly woman befriended me, but then pressed a flyer for her husband’s book in my hand and I realized her friendliness may have been just a ruse. But the book sounds cool so here is the shoutout that I promised her: The book is Confessions of a Catnip Junkie, written from the view of a kitteh named Doo Doo Cat. Can’t make this shit up, people. Then a kindly duo befriended me for reals and we went to dinner (post forthcoming).
So when you buy all three of the books you get a plushie Happy Cat. Naturally, I got all three, got the cat, threw in an extra $10 to the SF-ASPCA for the iPod raffle (didn’t win), and got all three books signed.
I didn’t even need to open each book to see what the inscription said. But you probably do not share a brain with the ICHC folks like I do, so here they are:
I smiled at the first, bristled at the second, and beamed at the third.
I got home and g-talked Tinx all about my night, and she said “i dont think ive found a fave” in regards to lolcats. NOT FOUND A FAVE?!?!? I can, without the slightest effort, list my Top 5. Here they are, in order (remember #1 is above [tiny trust]) :
Anyway, do you remember my New Year’s Resolution? Pertaining to cats? Yeah, I kinda failed on that.
pew pew pew! love it
