Who would have thought that obnoxious cats with bad spelling and an insatiable appetite for cheeseburgers could be so adorable? And yet, these LOLcats have morphed into a cultural phenomenon on the level with Pacman Fever and that McDonald’s commercial where the kid has to get through her piano recital or her oppressive parents won’t take her for a cheeseburger. . . why does it always come back to cheeseburgers?

Now in book form: I Can Has Cheezburger?: A LOLcat Colleckshun (Lolcat Colleckshun). Available at Amazon.com ($8, free shipping eligible) and book stores everywhere.

For your favorite baker, how about a Nordicware Mini Holiday Loaf Pan or a Culinary Torch? Or try these Kitchen Pals Silicone Oven Mitts. I like to stalk my cupcakes with the shark. I even whistle the JAWS theme song while I’m pulling scones out of the oven.

(I’m just kidding, silly. I don’t know how to make scones.)
