Hai! Teh blessigs of teh Ceiling Cat b pwn u, lol!
(from the LOLCat bible wiki) 

Can you quote a bible verse?
How about John 3:16 from the King James Version?

For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Or a modern translation such as the New International Version:

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Or a modern paraphrase such as The Message:

This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

LOLCat speak:

So liek teh Ceiling Cat lieks teh ppl lots and he sez ‘Oh hai I givez u me only kitteh and ifs u beleevs in him u wont evr diez no moar, k?

LOLCat speak is a mixture of IM, texting and pidgin english that has become hugely popular. I Can Has Cheeseburger is a classic example of putting text/IM language together with animal pictures (especially cats and kittens). This is an evolving language with specific rules:

1) Mis-decline verbs, especially misuse the verb “to be”
2) Misuse gerunds
3) Overuse prepositional phrases
4) Blatant rearrangement of syntax
5) Incorrect plurals and past-tense verbs
6) “noun” your adjectives. (For instance, the adjective “blue” can become the noun “blueness”)
7) Improper pronouns
8 ) Drop the articles (”a”, “and”, “the”) in favor of adding “-age” to the end of a noun
9) Use “younger” words (”kitty” versus “cat”, “fuzzy” versus “furry”, etc.)
10) Use the word “with” inappropriately.

1) Think like a little kid / cat / dog / goldfish, and get hukd on foniks
2) I cannot stress this enough: Vowels are your friends! Do not neglect vowels!! We’re speaking LolKitteh here, not text messaging! (My advice: use alternate vowels, Y’s are particularly handy, but don’t overuse them.)
3) Extra W’s and H’s (”awl” instead of “all”)
4) Z’s instead of S’s are easy
5) Double-letters versus single letters are always fun
6) Don’t be afraid to further pluralize things, including your verbs
7) Remember that the word “THE” must always be spelled “TEH”

Here is an example from the LOLCat bible wiki, using the story from Exodus 32.

    I am about 100% sure that you come up with the wildest yet the most delightful stuff. I could never learn another language. I am not to brilliant at the one I have now. LOL
