Fun stuff

Zelda: Ilia's memory is restored!  (1, 2, 3: Awwwww! at pretty cinema when the moment comes.)  I enjoyed the Hidden Village shooting gallery.  The slightly goofy Spanish-guitar and jaws-harp music made the whole scene feel a little overmuch like the various Western-scenery shooters in Rayman, but that actually made it more entertaining, not less.  And I found Howling Stone #7 - I think this is the last of them!

Lolcats: Found out from a friend on Librivox that there's a group translating the Bible into LOLCatSpeak.  I read a tiny bit of Job, and it's a little insane.   Guess what the LolCat name for God is?    .... Ceiling Cat!!!

Nobels: The Ig Nobel prizes for 2007 have been awarded!  I think my favorite this year is in the Aviation category, in which some Argentinian researchers found that Viagra aids jetlag recovery in hamsters.  Wow.

Some people have too much spare time...

I think the LOLB1BL makes more sense as a game than as a project. That is, player A tosses out a LOLSP33K phrase, player B needs to get the actual verse in a, hrm, more-traditional translation.

Like, say,

"LOOKIT CEILING CATS SHEEPLET SEZ: UR SINZ IS MYNE"

OTOH, nobody in my chruch even knows the proper response to "Chrizzle is reezy!"[*], so I won't try to introduce this to the liturgy.

[*] "Reezy for sheezy!"

"LOOKIT CEILING CATS SHEEPLET SEZ: UR SINZ IS MYNE"

Something like: "Jesus the Lamb of God takes the sins of the world upon himself."

Reezy for sheezy?

Oh, right! Kinda slang-y for 'The Lord is risen indeed,' but that works. (What 'toy' language is that, btw?)

I was aiming for "Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world". But I don't know if "LOOKIT" is Received Lolfeline for "Behold".

"-izzle"/"-eezy" is Snoop Dog-speak--just replace the ends of the words with those sounds. (As in, "off the heezy"="off the hook"; "for sheezy/shizzle" = "for sure".) White people sound stupid when we use it. Which doesn't stop all of us!

So "reezy for sheezy" = "risen for sure".
