Erudite Ferrets

While I love lolcats I may have found something I like better in the form of the Erudite Ferrets anti-meme.  For instance:

Erudite Ferret from bigfatwhale.com

Erudite Ferret from bigfatwhale.com

So, I’d like to start making more.  This is what have so far:

I’m in your x, ying your zs.

  • I’m in your libraries, finishing the books you found too hard.
  • I’m in your New York Times, completing your Friday Crossword Puzzles, in pen.
  • I’m in your bookshelf, reading your Thomas Pynchon novels.
  • I’m in your system32/fonts folder, deleting your Comic Sans.
  • I’m in your essays, correcting your usages of the Oxford Comma.

Invisible

  • Invisible Go match
  • Invisible Letter to the Editor composing
  • Invisible armchair physics
  • Invisible Sherry swilling

Other

  • John Updike, mourn ya ’til we join ya.
  • Supporting discourse of normative ethics is not a crime.
  • Faulknerian Idiot Man-Child Owners, I haz dem.
  • I’m a ferret and Palin even scared me.

I’m not sure if I can use lolcat language at all, or can use it ironically.  Ideas?

    Actually, lolcat is a minor issue.

    With such diverse publications as “The Chicago Manual of Style” and Strunk and White on one side, and the “New York Times Stylebook” and “The Economist” on the other, I'm sure the world could most profit from the Robinson definitive auto-correction of the serial comma. Enquiring professional linguists are, I'm sure, begging to know.

  • I've waffled over the serial comma, right now I'm in favor of its usage,
    previously I wasn't. What are you thoughts Crippled Folsom?

    prag vs. dog -matic. There are enough examples for and against where it is claimed to either help or hinder comprehension.

    Use where you feel it is needed for clarity. Rules are for people who can't think.

    Hey. I got my first cast today (two weeks post impromptu ballet). It's big. It's black. I could kick serious butt if I didn't land on my own in the process.

    I love the current erudite ferrets because they don't use the lolcat memes. I'd rather we stay away from the lolcat style completely.

  • Ok. Can you think of any new templates for erudite ferrets? I do enjoy the
    “declawing” as it were of lolcat memes but would love to see new ones like
    “I'm (highbrow endeavor) but you probably don't know what this is”. “Or I'd
    love to talk to you about (topic) but your head would pop.”
