In the style of LOLCATS, I bring you LOLBGG.

If you don't know, LOLCATS is a style of humor where someone takes a picture of a cat and adds a caption. This caption can represent the thought of the cat, something invisible in the picture, or the role the cat is playing.

The site http://icanhascheezburger.com/ is one of the more popular places for these images.
There's a nice slideshow article from Slate at http://www.slate.com/id/2166338/.

There's also a guide on how to create them at http://internetducttape.com/2007/04/01/how-to-create-lolcats...

In the theme of LOLCATS, I bring you..

LOLBGG.

Just a few to get you started, and I think you know what to do from here...

ed. There is a tool to make these at
http://wigflip.com/roflbot/ (thx bertrand russell, wkr bskt for you.)

Actually, I believe the "hoardin your thmbs" construction works reasonably well, though the spelling is a bit too good.

Reread the header to the list - there are several references there to the LOLCATS phenomenon with other sites to explore. That will provide the context.

I ended up using the image link in my gallery (at medium resolution) as an external image link. I'm sure there's a more elegant way but it worked.

Workaround is to use the 'external image' option, with a direct link to the image.
In this case:
