Poker’s boooooring.

Oh taht just ar Kevin. He’z awlwaiz leik taht - but sumtiems, he can bee reelee funnee, too.
Sorry if I’m not reading correctly and it says this already, but is this only open to US citizens? (It says social security number, which is US-oriented, I think).
Not citizens, but US residents.
Hai cheezburger!!! What a kewl idea!!!
Y Fanks!
giglol- am i reedin dis rite: you can chaynge teh roolz at enny time? dis place reeely is run bye kittehs- sowns jus likem!
Tankoo!
So no Canadian players, as we’re not US residents?
Even if we’re willing to fly out of the US (I live 20 minutes from the border)?
Even if we can even provide a US mailing address, despite not being US residents?
Ais a Uropean cheezfren so ai wont be enturing, but ail be cheering from teh sydelines
Go Merrikens Go!
“Merrikens” hehehe das so kewt.
iz ok yur not Merriken, we shar cheezbrgrs wit Uropean’s
Just to clarify, this is only for US residents? Canadian residents cannot enter? If this is the case, it may help to add this to the rules.
Americans considering interests of non-Americans?! Never! So many websites are US only but don’t state this on the site or in the terms unless legally required to do so.
Goodluck everyone!
U Think mine will get dizqualified??? Is about poker I swearz!!!!

Can we enter more than once? It doesn’t say one way or the other in the rules.
Yes, you can enter as many time as you’d like.
where do we go to vote?
We should have a leaderboard soon. Meanwhile, you should be seeing the images and links on the contestant’s blogs.
Dear Cheezburger– It doesn’t say how often people can vote for your picture– Once? Once a day? Repeatedly until they get bored stiff then once more?
Thanks for the contest, Kbai!
You can only vote once per picture. Evar.

Oh - ai wuz going to say - stend - wai ar yoo still up? But - rite - it’z awnlee a liddle layte fur yoo. Gud nite.
it’s just 2330 here…
bottom row center:
“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers… Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we’d get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. ”
… too wordy?
Luvs dat movies
Fur and Loathing in La Vegan
uh noooo we kant stop here diz bat kuntry!
OMG, BURGARS!!!
Whut ifs teh winnar LIVES IN LAS VEGAS???!?
*lives in Las Vegas*

[quote]Whut ifs teh winnar LIVES IN LAS VEGAS???!?[/quote]
Then you get an all-expenses paid trip to Mullica Hill, NJ.
Eeep. Is this bad?
Mullica Hill iz bootiful agri…. akricu… farm lan type place. “Cep wen coverd in floofy wite snow. Be nize an diferent for Vegans lik uz.
I can has votez?
Will there be section to browse submishunz?
I am wondering the same thing, is there a way to make all the entries public so that everyone can browse them and vote?
Hm. If there’s no public voting page thingie, then some of us don’t have much of a chance, even if we submit good lols. Not everybody has a bajillion online “friends” in a bajillion online forums/blogs/networking sites that they can hit up for votes.
That would kinda make it more of an intarwebs popularity contest than an actual lolcat contest.
ai weepz,
no LOLbuddies…meh.
a chance, i don’t has it
me needer…
I make de funneh LOLz, but no one to seez dem but myself ;-(
saim heerz.
i lolz fur mah ohn amuzmentz. an frum purrsentagz of my lolz
dat hit votin pagh, it lukz liek i iz pretti ezily amuzed.
Yeps, me 2. Not all lolcats pikachers submitted gets teh publik’s attenshuns…
And I’z not 21….
instafail.
Exactly.
I agree. I don’t want to push my photos on just people who look at my blog or something. I agree that not having a public voting page is kind of unfair. Everyone should be able to vote for lolcats, and not just people who whore themselves out everywhere online. I think that defeats the true spirit of icanhascheezburger.
I agree. It says “You are not required to email others or use our embed code to get votes.” but how the heck else are we able to if no one can see our entries unless we do, or get enough votes we happen to show up in “hot” for five seconds or so.
Spammers, have fun in Vegas.
A random drawing would have been more fair, if you think you’re going to have so many entries that you can’t let anyone vote for someone they don’t already know, who hasn’t spammed the heck out of others to get enough votes to show up.
Agreed. I thought my submission was pretty funny, but I don’t have a blog or tons of internet friends. The few I saw on the leaderboard were very funny, I wish I could browse through some pages or something and have more lulz… And help support other contestants!
Well, herez mine. Feel free to vote for it, I has no frenz…
