I can has invisible hottie now? kthxbai
After my introduction to I Can Has Cheezburger, I speak fluent lolcats now. It’s not hard to learn - you just have to read through all 50 pages of the archives, and pick up all the caption formulas. After that, you just substitute ‘has’ for ‘have’, and make a few (un)intentional misspellings, e.g. ‘upgarded’ instead of ‘upgraded’.
I realised this today as I was digging through my wallet for a dollar coin. When I found one, I exclaimed, “I has a moneys!” My friends and I like to show each other things. Our things, let us show you them. Yes, indeed my social circle is quite geeky. I haven’t done anything invisible yet, because that’s a visual joke, not a verbal one. But I think it would be funny if I went to Carl’s Jr (for instance) and, instead of placing my order like a normal person, asked “I can has cheezburger?”
Inspired by this craze as well as recent events, I had a flash of insight. One caption is “O RLY?”, added to pictures of surprised/sceptical animals (the term is used on forums to express sarcasm). But a conversation with my sister reminded me that Orlando Bloom is nicknamed “Orly” by his legions of screaming fangirls. Aha, you see where this is going?
And I have one final snippet to add. I was sitting in on the closing ceremony of a conference, and the students decided to informally recognise one of the organising committee members as “Singapore’s Orlando Bloom” by creating quite a ruckus (the girls especially). I feel so vindicated and validated - that’s what I thought too!
The fact that ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 3′ is in cinemas now just made the resemblance more salient. Also, although it’s a bit embarrassing to confess that my maturity level isn’t much higher than that of a high-schooler, I have to admit that I agree with them - dude is quite cute. Would they be trying to take pictures of him otherwise? The poor dears didn’t have the moxie to go up to him and ask outright for a picture, so they were sneakily aiming the camera at him when he was in their vicinity. I know all this because I was seated directly behind them *teehee*.
And as for those who may have reservations as to the actual resemblance, I leave you my favourite Orlando Bloom character to say it best:

I was half expecting you to continue the “O RLY” with a couple of other pics captioned “YA RLY” and “NO WAI”.
I could just go nuts with all these crazy memes. Thank goodness I don’t have the patience to scour the Net for suitable pics to mangle.
