Show us your best LOLCat contest at Who Let the Dorks Out? Deadline July 21st

Show us your best LOLCat contest at Who Let the Dorks Out?

One thing that we've found that quite a few SLers have in common is the almighty Lolcat. Lolspeak has overthrown our grammar and icanhascheezburger.com has been banned from our workplaces because of…. well, us… checking every 15 mins for the best LOL of the day. SO, we got to thinking that we need a LOLtest! That was a horrid attempt at saying we need a contest where you make your own Lolcat picture out of an SL snap, enter it in the Second Life@: Who Let the Dorks Out? Flickr group pool and the winner takes 500L! It’s really easy with the help of fd’s Flickr Toys; you just upload a photo, write a caption and link it to your Flickr page. You have TWO weeks to get your LOL on and instead of Dork Of The Week on July 21st, we will have a Loldork Of Teh Week! You don’t have to BE a cat, just take any funny snap that you can match a witty caption (or capshun if we are being authentic here) with and run it through fd’s Flickr Toys. If you are new to the whole Lolcat phenomenon, you are NOT shunned from this contest. Just brush up on your icanhascheezburger.com and you will get the idea of typical captions (I.E. Ceiling Cat vs. Basement Cat, broken english, flavor, etc). Thats it! So we look forward to your entries, and remember the winner gets 500 lalas.

BLACKBEATS RADIO INFO AND HISTORY

Black Beats Radio (BBRadio), Streaming the Rhythms of Black Music All Around the World!

BBRadio broadcasts a wide range of music inspired by the beats from the African Diaspora since 2007. Tune in on the internet or from various locations in SecondLife. Broadcasting 24 hours per day 7 days a week. BBRadio DJs and musicians perform at various venues in the SecondLife metaverse. Live DJ events are broadcast usually in the evenings at SL locations as diverse as the music we provide from a large dance club or as small as Ms. Dibou's backyard. Listeners can tune in off-world at our website or hear us in-world.

In 2008 the CEO and Founder, Marjorie "Dibou" submitted the name "Black Beats Radio" and subsequent logo to the United States Trademark Office. Unfortunately, the request for exclusive rights to the name was denied by the Trademark Office. As a result, Black Beats Radio needs a new name. So the SugarHill Island Name That Station Contest was born.
