There's a great Flickr slide show with some brilliant LOL Philosophers right here.
Here's one of my favorites:
And a link to a few LOLScientists was brought to my attention recently. Check them out here.

There aren't that many people who both contributed to philosophy and worked solely in that domain - or even principly.
We don't have a lot of photos of Plato to run LOLmacros on.

I'm reasonably certain that that's completely false.
Anyway. I'm not that great with faces, so it's possible that they were there and I just didn't recognize them, but I think there are some pretty glaring omissions. No John Searle? No Saul Kripke? I mean yeesh, I'd imagine that Kripke would be particularly amenable to the LOL(x) treatment. There are so, so many jokes just begging to be made about rigid and flaccid designators, to say nothing of the myriad possible plays on something like "I'm in ur Wittgenstein..."

More philosophy than I have patience for. (As usual. :-P) So maybe they did this one:
[LOLPlato] In ur shadow. Mezzing ur hedd.
