OK folks. I have just created the International Blep Film Festival! And I need you to understand that this is a serious endeavor.
First: what is a blep? A blep is when a cat leaves a little bit of its tongue sticking out. That's it. That's the entire thing.
Is this stupid? Absolutely.
Is there now an actual International Blep Film Festival with a judging panel, cash prizes, a Golden Tongue trophy and plans to put cat bleps on a big screen?
Also absolutely.
So please tell your cats. Tell your friends' cats. Tell the weird cat lady down the road. We are officially calling for BLEPS!
Welcome to the inaugural International Blep Film Festival, a celebration of cats, tongues and BLEPS!!
*******
DOES YOUR CAT BLEP? We want your little videos!
Send us your best little video of your cat blepping! Selected bleps will make their big-screen debut at the International Blep Film Festival at The Sparkle Barn in Wallingford, Vermont. Festival date to be announced!
No video? No problem! Send us your favorite blep photo and your cat may earn a spot on our BLEP Wall of Fame at the festival.
