ROTFTU - The New Emoticon

This week's letter is to a small mom-and-pop operation out of California called Google. I believe it's some sort of typewriter store.

Anyway, I filled out their product comment form on 06.02.08...

Other - Emoticons



Please tell us your story about this product.

Hello Mr Google, My Name is Cameron Scott Riggins III. I represent the Bohannon Institute of Emoticon Sciences. I've got good news! The Institute has developed the biggest development in web slang developments since the development of "LOL" (laugh out loud). But I'm not "L"-ing out "L" when I tell you we are about to make HUNDRED$ of dollars off this idea.

Here goes...

ROTFTU = Rolling on the floor throwing up (TM)!

Imagine, every time a nerd is in his mom's basement, drunk on Red Dog and smoking clove cigarettes, chatting about how his 4th level imp, lets call him Jingo, just defeated Lord Black Pee in a raid and gets so excited from eating too many Runts he begins to lose it. With his free hand, he can type "ROTFTU" while making sure his pony tail doesn't in the toilet while he's barfing. I realize that this doesn't explain why he has a computer in the bathroom. It's a long story.

Anyway, I've attached a jpg of what the emoticon should look like. I'm open to suggestions. Maybe the eyes should be bugging out?

I was rolling on the floor, throwing up.

Still no real reply, but I'm sure the good folks at Google are busy working on the patent for my new emoticon.
