It’s Friday and I’m all out of chickens
Fortunately, Uncle B sent me this stupid chicken meme.
It amuses me that we can sit at opposite ends of the couch and send each other dumb stuff bouncing off of billion dollar satellites in outer space. Best use of technology.
That’s how the internet works, isn’t it?
We did the long distance thing for 13 years (if I’d known it was going to be that long…). We had to come up ways to stay in communication, with technology that was awfully primitive.
We’re talking, like, 1995. There was no “connected to the internet all the time” in them thar days. We got used to lobbing messages at each other at intervals all day long. It was our normal.
Shall I tell you a secret? Uncle B uses more emojis than a Japanese schoolgirl.
Have a good weekend!

Great,
Now I’ve completely forgotten the text emojis.
Next thing you know I’ll forget COBOL syntax.

I entered text emojis and the system on sweasel end translated the text to image emojis of the MS style.

@ExpressoBold Pureblood — I’ve found that if you do the text emoticons backwards from the usual way (“mouth” on the left instead of right), they don’t get translated to graphic emojis.

Does animated stuff work in the comments here?

Animated emojis might work if wrapped in html code. I could not even paste an animated emoji image onto the blog page.

There should have been a Dead Pool today.
mossomo won with the most deserving pick since Fidel Castro in DP 90, Hassan Nasrallah, whom the IDF rendered exceptionally deceased last Friday.
But it’s good, because now I have a week to compile the entries from the last four DPs and find my next pick.
Uncle B uses more emojis than a Japanese schoolgirl.
Is that even possible?
