Sometimes at the Chuck-a-Rama buffet I’ll go take a whiz and it’s just me and some other guy at the urinals. Seems weird to just stand there without speaking, so last time I made a little small talk. “Hey, how’s your night going? How about those crab legs?” That sort of thing. He looked at me like I had 2 heads and left. Is that weird?

The wife gets the house, both cars, and all the cash. Then she sleeps with the husband’s best friends and brags about it on Facebook.

My fellow Geeks. When I saw Mike’s warning this week I got to thinking about what we could all do lower the temperature around here. While there are many areas for improvement, like no more personal attacks and threats of violence, I thought a simple quick win would be kinder emoji usage. Over the last few years I’ve noticed some mean spirited and irresponsible use of emojis, like sobby sad face emoji, confusedy face emoji, and sarcastic use of laughy faced emoji, like the way Gloria laughed when I caught her in bed the first time with Lamar. It is unkind. It is hurtful. And it has to stop. My modest proposal is for kinder, gentler, and more respectful emoji usage. So the next time you’re going to put a confusedy face or sobby sadface on a fellow Geek’s post, as yourself: How would this make TJ Booker feel? Then “turn that frown upside down” and click the smiley happedy face or the hearty likeface emoji instead. Like and subscribe if you’re with me!

Sometimes while taking a bubble bath. Who’s with me?

After Gloria left I told my boss that I needed a few weeks off with pay to process my feelings and work through my anxiety. He said “It’s a sporting goods store TJ, the shelves aren’t going to stock themselves! Get back to work you fat fock!” Ironically that made me cry during my shift and he sent me home. So I got an afternoon out of it at least.

I’ve do it with melted butter and Reeces Pieces … it was the bomb!

Gloria liked a pounder too!
