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?

Don’t tempt me, Rich. And you should see my collection of Hello Kitty toys ๐Ÿ˜‰

Fortunately (for my reputation, such as it is) I can only use emojis on Android. If I get ribbed about it, my response is always:’You’d rather I used hieroglyphics?!’

(Edit: I see an actual emoji crept into that! I must investigate further, Damn kids and their new-fangled technology!)

Rule #4, Rich: your first pick sticks. Delighted to see Nasrallah go, anyway.

@Uncle Badger — If you use Windows, and depending on what version, you may get a pop-up emoji gizmo if you hold down the windows key (the one that looks like a four-pane window) and then press the . (period) key. It’s an absolutely spectacular time-waster.

Just look at all these cats!

Ms. Weasel: Rule #4, Rich: your first pick sticks.

Nasrallah was mossomo’s first pick in DP 179.

He also wrote “Iโ€™m removing my obligatory Zelensky”, but I think that refers to his having picked Zelensky in DP 167, apparently thinking the pick carried over (he didn’t pick in DPs 168-178).

Later in DP 179, he tried to replace Nasrallah with Yahya Sinwar, but Rule #4 applied then.

So AFAICT, he wins! (And there was much rejoicing.)

Thank you, Uncle Al. Though it occurs to me that you may have sown the wind with emojis! ๐Ÿฆก๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Why does Microsoft never actually tell you these things?

PS. It turns out that Her Stoatliness knew this all along and never told me. Cant imagine why…

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
