Cheeseburgers.
Dear Apollo’s shiny ass! I love me some cheeseburgers. Yes, I realize I am wearing a “meat without feet” t-shirt; but the truth is, I just thought the shirt was funny. I’m not that fond of seafood. Ahhh, the duality of humankind, eh? I like some types and some ways of preparing it; but I’m just not that into seafood. Sorry. But I digress…
Let’s talk about Cheeseburgers.
Delicious, amazing, holy cheeseburgers.
Actually, as much as I wish that were true–they’re not the right kind of cheeseburger.
I want to talk about Cheezburgers.
Haz u had uh cheezburger yet?
If you’re lost, go catch up really quick:

Don’t worry… We’ll wait for a few while you venture out of your cave.
…
Okay, now you know what I mean.
Cheezburgers and “has’ing dem” is an internet site, meme, way of life that is ridiculously popular with just about all stripes of life that know how to navigate the interwebs. More importantly, it is a dangerous drug that sucks you in and doesn’t let go.
Yes, I haz an addictshun. I tend to be a pretty random dude–you know, lots of weird thoughts and way too much energy and all that sort of thing. I very well may have ADD or ADHD or MADD or possibly down with OPP… I really don’t know. All I know is with as much random crap running around in my noodle and being fired randomly fired at people via the mouth portal… This site is perfect for me.
Here’s the thing that got me really hooked though… They have a history site called historiclols
I am a HUGE history buff and the chance to put random ass captions on pictures and paintings from all throughout history? Too much for me to resist.
http://historiclols.cheezburger.com/
Check it out, it’s really killer.
So anyway, apparently this all began with Eric Nakagawa and his girlfriend Kari Unebasami creating the phrase “I can has cheezburger?”
icanhascheezburger.com is owned by Ben Huh, Pet Holdings Inc.
That’s as much research as I want to do. If you’d like to read more about the story of how it got going and all that jazz, here’s a start for you:

It’s a good read and interesting (by Laura Fitzpatrick)
But let’s get back to the fun stuff.
So, the cheezburger site has all these different sites contained therein and lots of ways to caption pictures that people upload. You can upload whatever kind of pictures you want under different categories:
Cats
Dogs
Other animals
History
Celebrities
News and Politics
Video games
And so on and so forth…
You create and account and get a homepage and all that fun interwebby stuff. Then off you go! You can upload your own pics or caption the pics other people put up. I have made an absolute ton of these things–helps with writers block and my glaucoma (“Friday” reference for those who were paying attention).
Here is my page–you can look at all the pictures I’ve captioned and my favorites and so on:

Feel free to friend me if you’re on this site as well.
And now I have to go get my fix; but I’ll leave you with some of my favorites.
Cheers!
