Hellomoto.....

Addictions are addictions. Gambling. Drinking. Drugs. Food. Sex and Love. Work. Internet. I've had maybe one or two of the above.. Ok, maybe two or three of the above.. Addictive personalities are addictive personalities...

I get emails every day from a contractor of ours at work - and she's addicted to Emoticons. Every email she sends contains one, if not two - emoticons. Could be the little round feller simply clapping his hands.. Mebbe leaning back and forth as he belly laughs back over something that was written.. Sticking out tongue... Smirk... My lips are sealed... Salute... Wink... etc...etc... etc..

For awhile, the little bastards are cute... Then, after ya seen 'em enough, ya wanna take target practice at 'em... As in nerves - getting on. For the most part, they're "atta boy" or "atta girl" kinda things.

Now Mrs. Perfectveryniceandwiseoldlady I usedta teach with would be appalled by the below. She usedta say "I can't imagine a life where everything has to be 'cutting up' - a joke... what kind of life would that be?"..... Well, maybe I'm simple. Maybe I'm Victor Immature.. Maybe I just like fun.. (See the funny little clown...) Anyways, here goes:

I'm thinkin' Motorola could go the other way - and have their own Hellomotocons. The obvious would be flipping someone off... Bending over and shooting a moon... The "up yours" hellomotocon... Hand to lips - then point at booty...

Would could extend to cultural emoticons... The saggin'African American hellomotocon that says "sup?"... When you bore with someone - the Mexican "vaminos" hellomoto flipping both hands out...

The cut to the chase hellomotocon where you point toward screen, then back to self, then make a disgusting left index finger inserted into hole made by semi closed right hand.. The little pee pee hellomoto... The humongous boobies gesture...

The pickabooger hellomoto... Another good one that could be winged back to someone who is ALWAYS serious might be the little finger cleaning ear wax hellomotocon... The monkey hellomotocon, where he poops, scoops it up and wings it at the screen... The doggie on three legs with the 4th leg hiked toward the screen...

Imagine the possibilities.. Cooties.. Herpes.. You stink.. You'rea jerk.. etc.. etc.. etc..

With apologies to Mrs. Perfectveryniceandwiseoldlady - hellomotocon. Happy day (Insert smiley face here).. Victurd.
