There's always more to the story, isn't there -- Limecat

Okay, so...a discussion following recent post of aplacental's got me to looking into Limecat (I guess source it here, as the original site appears to now contain listings for Las Vegas real estate), mainly because doubts were expressed as to whether a lime is actually involved, and I figured maybe I should do some further research before I call anyone else a meathead. In deference to fiendess, I will admit that in my research it was mentioned that some have speculated that Limecat's "Mystic Rind" may actually be that of a pomelo. That particular tidbit, though, appears to be inconsequential.

You see...there is much more to Limecat's story than I previously knew. To wit: Limecat is being worshipped as a deity of some kind...a god of the Internet. There's a brief article here (which I actually think might be from Wikipedia. (Except that Wikipedia has deleted and protected their Limecat entry. What the hell?!) Anyway, perhaps the best explanation can actually come from the Urban Dictionary here. There is a lot going on here! And the more I researched, the more the cast of characters expanded. The other major player in Limecat's story appears to be Clock Spider. But just start Googling around...Eternal Ferret, Pancake Bunny (which I was to learn was just someone's name for Oolong the Rabbit)... Anyway, it's a whole fucked up Internet pantheon going on.

Therefore!

I am pleased to report that, by sheer power of mystical inertia, I do not need to entertain any arguments that Limecat's Mystic Rind is anything other than a lime. Matters of faith such as these ought not to be questioned. Limecat is not pleased. All hail Limecat. Meatheads.

Doh!

Jesus, I gotta get ready for class! Stupid Internet.

My new religion

So...this may not make all that much sense to those of you who aren't gamblers, but just trust me on this...I have found the Way. It is the Church of Positive Expectation. Their beliefs are largely in line with my own, plus their holy figures are real people, so, hey...what can go wrong. The one liberty I'll take is from this tenet: "We do not believe that the world is controlled by an old guy who sits in the sky..." so I'm going to assume that this will not conflict with my continued involvement with the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Anyway. Just thought I'd update for the record. :)
