Road-side Romeos

Bill walks on the street and suddenly he hears someone calling "Bill! Bill!". He immediately turned to his left and saw all his buddies across the road. He crosses the road and shakes hands with Richie, Tom, John and Mark.
Tom pulls Bill's leg "Bill! busy stalking that lady, uhn? you didn't even hear us calling you. We were like yelling so loud that even Bill Clinton would have heard us."
Immediately after this the whole gang goes in a laughter roll and they give each other a high five.
Immedialy John comes to Bill's rescue, "Dude look who is talking. This bugger agaped at a woman for 20 mins only to find that it was none other than his wife."
Again there was huge roar of laughter and high fives being exchanged between the buddies. They made so much noise that everyone on the street turned to look what was happening.
"Shshhshhshh" said Mark. "Guys watch out the hot chick passing by in the black porche."
Immediately as if some one said eyes right, all the heads turned right at the same time just like the marching soldiers.
Once the car went out of sight Bill conks Richie and tells him "She's gone and so, stop seeing her and also don't forget to close your mouth you hottie old man!"
Richie blushes and turns his head.
Suddenly John says "Guys tomorrow there is a Sox Vs Cubs game at the Wrigley field, How about going for that?"
Mark says excited "Wow! great idea, lets go guys"
Immediately there are 3 echos saying "OK".
After talking for some time each one disperses towards their house.
Next day morning Tom and Richie assemble at Bill's place and wait for Mark and John to join them. They wait for long and finally after about an hour, Mark turns up.
Everyone pounces on him and asks him "Why are you so late? And where is John? At this rate we will enter Wrigley field while everyone walks out of there."
Mark replies "John won the race guys."
In chorus every exclaims "What??? When? What happened."
"It happened today early morning, while he was sleeping. He had a peaceful exit, just the way he wanted to have." said Mark.
"Well, He lived happily for all his 82 years. May his soul rest in peace. Guys this just reminds us that its not too long for us to meet our end." saying this Tom goes inside his house others follow him behind.

Its been claimed that its 25 years since :-) was used for the first time. It is believed that twenty five years ago, a Carnegie Mellon professor Scott E. Fahlman was the first to use the three keystrokes (":", "-", ")") to represent a smiley in a message.
Since then the messaging industry has added so many emoticons, that it seems almost impossible to send a computer message without using an emoticons.
The creator of the original ASCII emoticons :-) and :-(, with a specific suggestion that they be used to express emotion, was Scott Fahlman; the text of his original proposal, posted to the Carnegie Mellon University computer science general board on 19 September 1982 (11:44), was considered lost for a long time. It was however recovered twenty years later by Jeff Baird, from old backup tapes.

I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:

:-)

Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark
things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use

:-(

Below is the list of emoticons that GMail messenger supports.

Its news to me that GMail has so many emoticons. I just knew a hand full of them. Whatever said and done, Yahoo! still rules the net with respect to emoticons. I don't think any other messenger service offers such a wide spectrum of emoticons. Click here for a complete list of Yahoo! emoticons.

Roomie Vs Honey

Hola people! Hope you all are doing good. Well its been a long time since I peeped into this space. Sorry for making you guys wait. It kind of took time to settle down and subsequent to that the crank shaft in my brain seemed to have got jammed being idle for long. I am trying to revive my blog by writing this post. Hope I come back in full swing.

Warning: All characters in this post are fictious. Any resemblance in character with anyone dead or alive is just a coincidence. Hope this post does not become like the above picture(Me throwing sand on my own head)

Everyone says marriage is an eternal bliss. Well, though I would like to disagree, in order to avoid getting a black eye and also to get some food I too will agree with that and say marriage is surely an eternal bliss.
I was just comparing a guy's life BM (before marriage) and the same guy's life AM (after marriage), seems a big contrast.

Guy BM	Guy AM
He goes back home from work at 8:00 PM and the conversation at home goes... Roomie: Early today? Guy: Yeah man, Finished up something, so came home before I started the next module.	He goes back home from work at 5:00 PM and the conversaion at home goes... Honey: Why are you so late? Guy: No Honey, had some work, did that till I reached a logical end. Have to continue working on it tomorrow.
Roomie: Hey! what to do for dinner man? Guy: Let's heat some frozen food and have man, what say?	Honey: Cut Chicken, onion and tomato and cook Chicken curry while I make some Chappati's Guy: Ok, Honey.
Guy cooks chicken curry Roomie: Awesome Chicken curry man, You are the man!	Guy cooks chicken curry Honey: Hmmm ok. You should add some more spices.
Kitchen sink overflows with soiled vessels Roomie: Machan, lets clear this man.	Kitchen sink overflows with soiled vessels. Guy starts to clean them Honey: Here clean these too. And throws in a more vessels Honey: Scrub it nicely, I see few dots of dirt there.
Roomie: Hey! I have sent a request for you to join orkut. Join soon, I will scrap you.	Guy logs in his laptop first time in a week's time and types www.google.com. Even before the page loads Honey: You always sit with your laptop. Instead of me, you could have married your laptop.
Guy: C'mon man lets go play Tennis. Roomie: No man Guy: Stop lazying around, come lets go and play, you lazy bum!	Guy: Honey my old roomie is calling me for playing Tennis Honey: No need Tennis. Spend time with me. Guy to Roomie: Dude, I cant come man. Didn't get ground clearance.

Dedicated to all the husbands and to be husbands in this World. Jai Mata Di!!
