Heh. Oralse kitty. I personally use the .gif someone
made of the kitty flying whenever I feel the need to link
to a kitten. Or else one of the "No Hands Kitten" parodies.
All you have to do now is find a puppy and a Scala bun.
Anyways, getting FARKed is kind of an honor. We have a lot
of names for it, depending on the website; slashdot, being
the big one, is the name usually bandied about, but there
are also getting ALoDed (SomethingAwful), MeFied (Metafilter),
PoE'd (Portal of Evil), and many others.
