a thread for lolcats, lopres, etc. that might be more in tune with the local sense of humor than that of the series of tubes at large.
My first ever attempt at lolcats:
"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered...."

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered...."
...just out of curiosity, what does the original say? Somehow, every time I think to actually LOOK up there to check out the Mormon ad, something else is showing.
Usually it's some goofy question like "How can I keep my family safe and my marriage strong?" (something that most sensible people can answer by saying "Try not to take too many unnecessary risks and don't fucking cheat on your spouse, dumbass", but one must remember we are talking about Mormons) followed by some stupid slogan that says something about restoring truth. And by "truth", they of course mean the ridiculous tenets espoused by their religion wherein anyone who doesn't fall in line will go to hell or some BS like that...
Ahem... sorry, got carried away (I prefer disorganized religions to organized ones any day).

Yeah... one could easily replace "Mormons" in the above with "the Religious" and still have it work jusssst fine.
Actually, we had a big ol' messy debate here once where I put forth (and maintain to this day) that it has to be 'organized' in order to be a 'religion'... Without, it's 'faith', 'spirituality', or 'beliefs'... And thus much preferable.

Yeah, that was a fun one...
It does make me wonder what ever happened to Tellner...

It has to be organized or else you get hauled off and committed. When people run around saying little gnomes are everywhere trying to kill people they are considered crazy. If they called it "the church of the killer gnomes" they would simply be religious.
No offence to anyone, but I consider "Giant omnipotent figure is always watching me" slightly more crazy than "goverment is always watching me"
