All right, I’ve resisted long enough. Sean Carroll has now officially asked if Cosmic Variance should host a physics-themed lolcat contest. My answer:

You’re going to regret this.

I’ve already tossed out a few:

• “Im in ur manifolds compactifying ur dimensionz.”
• “M-theory Cat Can Has Background Independence.”
• “Im in ur comitee denyin ur tenur.”
• “Im in ur landscape choosin ur parameturs.”
• “I can has an inflaton.”
• “Im in ur vacyoom eatin ur Higgs.”
• “Sagan cat has a bilyunz and bilyunz of starz.”
• And for Scott Aaronson, “Im in ur oracle solvin ur NP-compl33t problemz.”

Please, invent “better” ones — and don’t restrict yourself to physics! All science is your playground.
