Furthermore many cats are of insufficient weight to register on many analog scales such as the one pictured here. This cat is clearly too small to make up the purported 5lbs (approx.) that the scale seems to be indicating.
Doesn’t MLIA require you to log in to make comments? If this site required “ownership” by logging in to post comments, it might alleviate many of the rude and crude comments being posted here. But then, this site doesn’t seem to care about such averageness.
I love AC, but they seriously need to fix how they have the blog set up right now. What person has the oldest entries on the front page? That’s pretty lame when you’re trying to check for updates.
They just changed the sequencing – when they removed all “original” submissions (not recaptioned ICHC photos). Of course, AC doesn’t bother to mention that LOLCAT photos MUST be used – nor that Recaptioned ICHCs is the premise of their site (which their name does not imply). When this site first started, it had average “possibilties”. But it’s gone downhill fast in the short time it’s been in existence.
This site has gone downhill? I disagree entirely. It’s actually managed to stay funny, despite some technical weirdness recently, which is something that MLIA lost entirely months ago — that is, when people stopped approving any story that was actually average.
You forgot finding a new best friend, or confirming that you are dating the right man/woman through some stupid dinosaur, batman, or harry potter reference
also, MLIA turned gay a long time ago. It is a slippery slope, starting with a few dinosaur jokes, next thing you know your blowing some dude in a bathroom.
don’t use gay as a derogatory term. It is degrading to not only the thing you are trying to degrade. By saying that something you think is stupid or annoying is gay, is saying that people who are gay are as stupid or annoying as the thing you are talking about. This is ignorant, prejudicial, terribly offensive, and pretty much evil thing to do. There are many great people who are gay or lesbian. Just because you don’t seem to be able to understand that their being homosexual is the result of a genetic trait they cannot willingly alter, you aren’t allowed to insult them for being who they are, anymore than you’re allowed to insult an African American person for being African American. In this comment, you are going along the same thought process that inspired racism: “They don’t act like me so they must be bad”. Its sad that in today’s day and age we are still not able to understand the simple concept of equality.
In addition, the whole slippery slope thing is really a bad argument. This isn’t even me bashing it, it’s my English textbook:
“Sliding down a slippery slope: according to this fallacy, one step will inevitably lead to an undesirable end… although it is important to consider the probable effects of any step that is being debated, it is fallacious to claim that people will necessarily tumble downward as a result of any one step. There is also the possibility that we’ll be able to keep our feet firmly on the ground even though we’ve moved them from where they used to be.” (if you didn’t know, a fallacy is a flaw in logic)
Therefore, you’re argument that MLIA “turned gay” and will inevitably become more gay as a result of the “slippery slope” its on, is not only terribly ignorant and insulting, but also illogical. So please dear troll, either make educated comments that aren’t oppressive to an innocent group of people, or get off MLIA and AC so that people smarter than you don’t have to put up with such bull shit.
First, relax buddy my posting was only intended to add a little levity to the situation. I have nothing against gay people, my own brother just got gay married, and I still love him. I understand what I said was not politically correct; rather it was hyperbole, intended to shock and amuse. I am sorry if I offended anybody, but you should blame liberal interpretations of the first amendments.
Second, put down your “English textbook” what are you in seventh grade? Look at Supreme Court Justice Frankfurter, and Justice Murphy both who routinely espoused the slippery slope argument, See Justice Murphy’s completely badass dissent n Korematsu. The slipperly slope argument merely states that it is more probable that you will end up in an undesired result the more you chose to go down the path. In the real world slippery slope arguments, while not always applicable is valid.
In conclusion, I agree with your premise that what I said was very douche like, I think you should take this opportunity to either “man up”/butch up” (depending on your sex) and stop being a little bitch who whines whenever somebody says something controversial/douche like.
I agree with wd40, the slippery slope argument is a valid argument, e.g. a individual who parties excessively in high school is on a slippery slope to working a menial dead end job. This does not mean that every individual who fools around in high school is going to end up a janitor. Rather this has a TENDENCY TO PROVE, that an individual who does not take high school seriously is MORE LIKELY to end up as a janitor. The slippery slope argument does not claim a certainty, rather any probative likeliness will suffice.
P.S. The joke, while not politically correct was not terribly offensive, and actually pretty funny. There are graver issues in this world than a pseudo-offensive comments on my cat is average.
If wd40 was entitled to his say, then Hedwig was entitled to hers and all you side people have no right to weigh in on the situation and claim that hers is any less valid than his.
Yeah when did average cats become about personal attacks, and annoying political rhetoric, Am I a hero? . . . probably, but the point is we all need to start talking about how average cats is far superior than ichc.com that is something we can all agree on.
This site QUIT being about cats (average or otherwise) within a week of its inception. Since then it’s been mostly about Harry Potter and crude, rude remarks.
Or she’s mimicking her humans? I weighed myself the other day and when I got off my cat stepped on, looked at the dial, and looked back at me. She had gained two pounds!
Everybody is simultaneously awesome and also the worst people ever! Hooray for the internet, where double-standards can’t exist because we’ve got no standards to double up on.
Hedwig, and anyone else, homosexuality is wrong.
Just think, if we all thought it was okay then became gays and lesbians.
It would result in the extinction of mankind. And YES, homosexuality is a choice that a person makes. They decide its okay at an age that the brain is developing and then, their mind turns into one of a homosexual.
seriously get your face out of your goddamn johovah’s witness pamphlet and shut up.
saying that everyone who thinks homosexuality is okay doesnt mean that everyone will be come gay or lesbian.
that’s an extreme opinion, and i can assure that that the extinction of man kind WILL NOT be because everyone BECOMES GAY, you idiot.
the extinction of man kind will come when people like you decide to push their intolerance TOO FAR, and create a nuclear war against anyone who doesnt believe the same as you.
ok to u people before who were tlkin about MLIA… you all must have brain damage to believe that MLIA is stupid. I LOVE MLIA! ITS THE BEST! and when im not on mylifeisaverage.com im on fmylife.com because thats cool too. Think about it tho. People like me usually get on that kind of site that tells funny life stories and you people get on a site about cats usually…. cats…. people… hmmm… tough choice there… hmmmm…
From my observations of my own cats, particularly Spots, they like to sit on any area of floor which is different from the rest, even if it’s actually less comfortable than the carpet.
I found your blog’s link posted by a friend on Facebook. Thank you for putting useful info on the internet. It’s tough to find these things these days.
I really like your concept – I am not familiar enough with the originals and kind of wish you had an example of what they one said . .
cool blog
