G33k?
The questions you need to ask youself are:
1a) When talking to someone online or in an email, do you use the acronym lol as punctuation? E.g. "I went to work today and stapled my boss' eyelids shut lol." Or, "I don't think so lol it doesn't look edible" This could apply to any commonly used acronyms, like rofl or lmao etc.
1b) If yes, do you also use variations of the said acronyms to emphasise your point? E.g. your normal sentence might be "I'd hit it lol." but your emphasised sentence would be "I'd hit it LOL." Because as everyone knows, putting it in caps means you are actually laughing out loud...
2) Did you read the above and find nothing wrong with the sentence in quotes? If yes, and you weren't sure about question one, I think you can safely answer yes to that one now.
3) The killer question: Do you use such terms in everyday REAL life? (Yes, I mean offline *shocked!*). Like if someone tells a joke or says something funny, do you say: LOL! or ROFFLE! and then immediately think to youself, "Hmm perhaps that wasn't the correct reaction..." as everyone looks at you like you're a complete wierdo...
Answer the questions!
For the record, I answered yes to all three questions LOL!
It’s Jesus…lol
Most of you should be familiar with the series of pictures that are commonly referred to as the "Jesus lol" series. If you aren't, you officially suck and just for you, so that you can understand the rest of this post, here is one of the original pictures:
Now, after seeing this picture (or others like it) you will either be thinking one of two things - depending on the type of person you are.
Type 1: You laugh your freaking ass off because Jesus, the Son of God is saying "lol". End of story.
Type 2: You get deep and philisophical and begin to ponder about why this image was created and what the meaning behind it all is. You also feel a bit offended because as a religious person you think it is wrong to portray
holy men and women in such a manner.
Now, in my opinion, if you consider yourself to fall under the Type 1 category, I shake your hand and give you a cookie for having a healthy sense of humor. If on the other hand, however, you fall into the Type 2 category, I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you. No, I jest. I'll spare your life, but only on the condition that you develop your sense of humor and not take things like this seriously. Life is for laughing. Google image search for "jesus lol" and you will see many more of these pictures.
Before you click away from here, there was actually a point to that. It serves as a warning to those people who fell into the Type 2 category and haven't yet developed a sense of humor since reading the last sentence. It probably would not be a good idea to read on.
Still with me? Good stuff. The following picture was something I came across on the interweb, along with the caption:
"Everybody get down to the..."
Uh oh...
