I know, I know, I’ve been a very very bad girl. I haven’t blogged in ages! I just… haven’t felt like it. Things have been pretty dang sucky with the whole crappy health thing, and I just didn’t feel like talking about it. I still don’t. But I felt like I should blog something, so I’m gonna share a little project of mine with you.

    Over the Thanksgiving holiday week, my brother Tim, his wife Monica, and their gorgeous daughter Samantha came to visit. Since they were here, my other brother Kevin and his family came over every night for dinner and stuff. As usual, with all us Lawver kids around the table, things got quite funny every night, with each of us egging the others on and laughing till our sides hurt. One night in particular, Kevin whipped out his blackberry and showed me something that I’ve absolutely fallen in love with…

    To prepare for what it is I’m about to share, I figured I should make sure you all know what a LOLCat is. I’m sure you all are aware of the funny cat picture memes that always seem to find their way around the Internet and creap into your inbox. If you’ve been living in a closet for the past decade and you don’t know what LOLCats are, then take a look at this one, it’s my favorite LOLCat of all time.

    Alright, so now that you know what a LOLCat is, prepare yourself for… The LOLCat Bible! A bunch of people have gotten together to create a wiki site (a site like wikipedia, where anyone and everyone can contribute, and the community edits everyone’s work). And this particular wiki is dedicated to translating the Holy Bible into LOLCat speech. It absolutely cracks me up. Sure, I’m a fairly religious person, but come on, God totally has a sense of humor so we should too. I mean, if He didn’t, how else could you explain slugs? srsly.

    You really need to check this site out. It had me laughing histerically. And like a good little girl, I’ve been dedicated to reading my scriptures every night… teehee. When my siblings and I were younger and my family would read the bible together, we’d always inevitably end up reading verses in the voices of Elvis, Clint Eastwood, Charlton Heston, etc. So, to me, this just seems like the next logical progression of slight sacrelige. 🙂

    The purpose of me sharing this isn’t exactly just to make you giggle… it’s also to show off something I’ve been working on. Since the LOLCat bible has made me laugh so much, and since I have so much freaking time on my hands, I figured I’d give back to the community. One night while I was reading the LOLCat Book of Job, I noticed that everyone had skipped over chapter 5. No one had even bothered to translate that poor chapter. So I opened up the ole King James and got to work. I finished it in a little under an hour and, well, I’m honestly a bit proud of myself. It took a lot of hard work and dedication to so horrifically mangle my spelling and grammar… but I love the results. 🙂 And I hope you do too.

So here you go, Job Chapter Five, as translated by me, in LOLCat speech. I hope you like it, and please do leave comments and suggestions for me – I’d really appreciate it. I’m currently working on Job Chapter 7 and I’m hoping to then move on to Proverbs, Psalms, Isaiah, and my favorite, Revelations, for its sheer potential for insanity. 🙂 Oh, and feel free to read it alongside the original chapter – makes it that much more enjoyable, I think.

    Thanks for your patience in waiting for this overdue post. Sorry again it took so long… but you know how things are. 🙂 I promise I’ll be back soon with more updates, and more links to funnies. 🙂
