Good for Terry Pratchett

I intend to scream and harangue while there is time.

Middle Scots in Lolcat? L33t!

A link - shamelessly stolen from zoepaleologa - to Great works of literature in lolcat

The obvious tour de force is the 'Lolcat for the Makars', but I also liked the Pangur Ban one, the 'To his coy mistr3ss', and the following snippet of dialogue from the Lolcat 2 Twrs:

nzgl: i can has victim?
drnhlm: no
nzgl: im an admin
nzgl: /kill drnhlm
30wyn: i wuz sockpuppet
nzgl: i is stabid


Am off tomorrow to give paper at a graduate conference in Fribourg. I made u (or at least, the people I'm travelling with) granola, but I brunded it. Happily, though, it was far too much cake anyway, and the centre is quite all right.

Further to the previous Pratchett post

A good idea from elsewhere on the flist. Apologies if you've seen it already, but it's, as I say, a good idea.

Today, it was announced that Terry Pratchett has donated half a million pounds to Alzheimer's research. Hearing that, it occurred to me that if half a million of us all donated a pound to Alzheimer's research, we could match his donation and make it an even million.

So whaddaya say, guys? It's a pound. That's about 2 bucks US dollars, give or take a couple of (US) pennies. You can spare that much. Go here and make your donation. Tell them it's in honour of Terry Pratchett.

Let's do it!
