I think she means Cryptopictocerebritis. Sorry. There's no known cure.

Help, I need a 📓 of emojis and a copy of the 📖of Genesis to keep up with you and Chloe. I’ve only graduated from a flip phone ( yes, the ‘beam me up Scotty’ kind) with no texting, only a couple of years ago. I deserve a break .

Where ever did you come up with this crazy brilliant idea ? And a nice breezy respite , after Moby.

I came looking for the end of Moby but I just saw this reply! The whole mechanics of it was randomly surprising, but if I had to pick, I think the list of knowledge and then all the “naughty” things (and Adam and Eve’s talking about or opinion of it) was pretty funny. 🎓 🗝️ + 🍺 🚬 🍄 🤪

Thank you. This must be what the 1st century scholars of Alexandria felt like when they first translated the Hebrew Bible…

This is so fun and so fucking bizarre. My head hurts trying to interpret what the purple heart means vs. the red heart when I get emojied so this was some advanced level cryptography but well worth the ride. I might have struggled a wee bit more than most who actually grew up reading the bible.

I'm telling you: there are a LOT of emojis out there. Here's an amazing fact I learned a few days ago: a guy wrote an ENTIRE book in French without using the letter e. You read that correctly. Somewhere I read recently that constraints support creativity. it was fun tackling this one.
