Python routines: allusion run amuck

But I've been oddly fascinated by the phenomenon ever since I read the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolcats) - the entry was having its removal debated, and I took the rare step of entering the discussion fray, arguing strongly for its inclusion. (Then again, I am a Wikipedia inclusionist by nature.) Your points about form are dead on... part of the reason I won't try to mimic the style. Interestingly, though I am a comedy freak, and am not above quoting my fave lines (and dig Python in a big way), I never do Python routines and almost never find it funny when others do either.
