A little bit about Emojis.

We are overusing certain laughing emojis—they're all out of control. 😂 This is the crying laugh emoji, reserved for some of the funniest moments in a lifetime. It's not often you cry laughing. 🤣 This one, with a head tilt, seems like an escalation. 😭 This one is often used and literally represents a stream of tears pouring down someone's face. 😆 is pretty good. 🤭😝😜 All underused. That’s all I’m saying.

Actually, I just wanted to publish this emoji phrase because it’s creative, and I’ve never seen it. When I haven’t spoken to a friend in a long while, I say let’s 🍅 🔨. This means for us to talk and discuss the latest happenings in one’s life. Maybe you know what I mean. Anyways, I just wanted to publish it here before it got huge.

Poor man's patent.

Back in the day, my friend told me that this was when you had an idea for something, so you wrote it down, mailed it to yourself, and didn’t open it. "The day at which it's timestamped is the day of your patent." I was convinced then, but that makes no sense. Nobody has to approve it? And I can’t open it? Until I’m in a courtroom defending it against patent infringement?

Some businessman opens a letter. "Sir, your product the Squatty Potty was originally thought up by me in 1996, you are being sued and will bear witness to the opening of the envelope containing the patent you broke."

Sounds legit.

Anyway, I’m doing that here with my stupid emoji combo. It’s me. Look at the date this was published.

Talking to one of my favorite people of all time.

This is me searching for it in messages.
