I love LOLcats. I'm a www.icanhascheezburger.com addict. I've even submitted the odd one myself.
I found this one on the voting page, and it seemed that it wasn't overly popular. But I fell off the chair laughing. I guess obscure linguistic jokes in LOLcats aren't that widely appreciated.
Our language and culture tends to deal in absolutes. He is a student. She is a teacher. People are, or are not. We have more trouble with processes, gradual slides from one thing to another. And this is strange, because most people spend most of their lives in the process of changing, not as the static "things" their labels would suggest.
I am not a human who is being one particular thing or another. I am hundreds of processes. I am a human becoming. What am I becoming? Who knows! We might just find out together.
