actually when i searched for "emoji" in ilx search, the first thing that came up was this:

It's ludicrous marketing. Every league must be its own special snowflake. You'll occasionally hear references to "the old first division", which invariably means the division that is now the Premiership.

x-post to enrique:
hmm. if you look back, what i said is not "accept happyslapping" but "accept the increased probability of it happening in the city". small difference, but important.

society is in a bit of a mess (nothing new there). i believe the onus is on all of us - individuals, the "state", schools, places of employment, whatever - to do whatever we can to improve things. this isn't easy, and what you say in your last post is absolutely right: it's just that when you say "POLITICS" (yr caps) it all sounds a little reductionist, like you're just waiting for someone else to do all the hard work. i'm not accusing you personally of doing that: i'm sure you'd agree, however, it does seem to be many people's modus operandi.

christ, i could do more. a lot more. and i know i should.

what riled me originally is what i perceived in some posts as an assumption that happyslappers are just this absolute aberration; that they're a tiny number of bad apples and that once we've rounded them up and shot them all, we'll be fine. what i'm suggesting instead is that instead of condemning, we - as a "society", whatever the fuck that might be - try to understand why a small but significant number of young people do this kind of thing. basically: what is society (that word again) doing to these people to turn them into such disenfranchised, antisocial, fucked-up pieces of shit?

remember when john major came out with "understand less, condemn more"? that was proof incarnate that he was a total cunt. i was being overly glib above when i said we shouldn't condemn/blame the individual: but FFS, if we don't try to work out WHY this is happening, we're all fucked.

i've had many stand-up yelling marches with workmates. many of my other workmates have done likewise. i think it's par for the course in newsrooms. fuck's sake, legend has it that an old dude brought a gun in one day and threatened to shoot the then editor. (he was taken to the pub and rendered paralytic, as a safety measure.) i also tried to fight -- properly -- a sports editor one night in a club. luckily for me, i think, he was less pissed and talked me out of it.

best office fight ever: a seemingly good-natured tussle between two (now very respected) hacks, some years ago, that suddenly became truly vicious and involved one of them twatting the other over the head with a 12" record. (no, i can't remember what it was.)

And my parent's have been married since 1955. Although not that happily, I think. But I'd say marriage/commitment=classic, the actual wedding thing=dud. I just find them unbearable. I'm usually very happy for the couple, but do we really all need to gather together to celebrate it? It gives me the creeps.
And gay marriages are totally totally classic, but gay marriage/commitment ceremonies are utterly revolting. I will never ever-never ever?-take part in one.

Gov. Bush & his mystical buddy

After more than an hour of solemn ceremony naming Rep. Marco Rubio, R-West Miami, as the 2007-08 House speaker, Gov. Jeb Bush stepped to the podium in the House chamber last week and told a short story about "unleashing Chang," his "mystical warrior" friend.

Here are Bush's words, spoken before hundreds of lawmakers and politicians:
''Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society.

''I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down.''

Bush then unsheathed a golden sword and gave it to Rubio as a gift.

''I'm going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior,'' he said, as the crowd roared.

The crowd, however, could be excused for not understanding Bush's enigmatic foray into the realm of Eastern mysticism.

We're here to help.

In a 1989 Washington Post article on the politics of tennis, former President George Bush was quoted as threatening to ''unleash Chang'' as a means of intimidating other players.

The saying was apparently quite popular with Gov. Bush's father, and referred to a legendary warrior named Chang who was called upon to settle political disputes in Chinese dynasties of yore.

The phrase has evolved, under Gov. Jeb Bush's use, to mean the need to fix conflicts or disagreements over an issue. Faced with a stalemate, the governor apparently "unleashes Chang" as a rhetorical device, signaling it's time to stop arguing and start agreeing.

No word on if Rubio will unleash Chang, or the sword, as he faces squabbles in the future.

“These guys [newly elected Tea Party candidates]” are going to force Romney to the right,” said Andrea Shell, a spokeswoman for Tea Party group Freedom Works. “That is our entire mission.”…

“If we can elect a really conservative House and Senate that will force Romney to go along with our bold conservative agenda,” Shell said. “He’s going to have to really, really go to the right. He’ll be working with guys in the House and Senate. He won’t be able to get away with too many middle of the road policies, especially on things like the deficit.”…

“It’s not going to be a Romney driven presidency,” Norman Orenstein, a researcher at the conservative think tank AEI recently told ABC News. “It’s going to be a Congressional, conservative, Republican driven presidency from Congress.”

I dislike Paris Hilton as much as the next person, but any guy here who says he wouldn't hit it it given the chance, especially if they were drunk, is lying. I don't think that she's particularly good-looking, but I definitely wouldn't kick her out of bed. I wouldn't even care if she answered the phone during. It might turn out to be Kim Kardashian, which would be hot.

Violence Reverses Gains In Iraq.

Iraqi security officials say al Qaeda-linked fighters from the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, are moving aggressively to re-establish a base of operations in Anbar province, the stronghold of the Sunni insurgency during the U.S.-led war.

If the extremists succeed, they would undo one of the hardest-fought gains of U.S. forces and their Iraqi allies. By the time of the U.S. pullout at the end of 2011, the insurgency had been significantly weakened, in large part by a U.S. alliance with moderate Sunni tribesmen.

Damage ContrLOLz 2: LOL Harder

In the continued absence of Ethan, can I just note the Simpsons' take on Mad:
A typical scene. Bart and Milhouse are reading Mad. Bart: "This is so good. They're really dishing it out to this Spiro Agnew guy." cf Also Comic Book Guy's attitude.

One trick in golden-era Spy I really liked — must dig em out/wd I still find it even a tiny bit funny? — was the Homeric epithet gag: that everyone was always referred to by the SAME two-word life-and-worth summary. Only one I can actually remember at this second: "short-fingered vulgarian Donald Trump". Every time The Donald (which = another Spy gag, via some goofy thing Ivana once said) was written about, he was introduced and/or journalistically located as "short-fingered vulgarian Donald Trump"

I *always* read Private Eye (= war on journalistic clichea) even though I basically detest its crappy snobbery (war only on SOME kinds of cliche). Assume Spy = ditto, snobwise, for 'Murkins, but Brits somewhat quarantined from sensitivity to same, by the Atlantic if nothing else...

That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers.
