Titillation: Kelly Slater gets excited, employs rarely used “lecherous” emoji, over provocative Miley Cyrus image!

"Oh wow."

Kelly Slater, age 47, is a very avid and competent Instagram user. It is no secret and a fact that adds layers to the most approachable top-tier professional athletes of all time. Keep rolling the dice, throwing questions into his comment section and chances are better than even that you’ll get a response or blocked, depending on what you ask.

He is also not afraid to leave his walled garden and will comment here and there across the Instagram universe. Yesterday found him sharing an excited “Oh wow” over a very provocative Miley Cyrus, age 26, photo advertising the pop star’s newest music video.

The twenty-one year age gap between the two public figures might raise eyebrows in certain corners though I would imagine only where professional surf watching is not a way of life. Kelly’s co-workers on tour, as we well know, average 24 years old and Kelly himself stopped aging eight years ago technically making him 39.

In any case, the fact that Kelly was engaging with a very provocative Miley Cyrus photo is not surprising. That he went into the emoji database and pulled the rarely used “lecherous” face is.

The “lecherous” emoji, featuring a toothy full-faced smile with tongue barely kept in mouth and eyeballs open wide, was introduced before the #metoo movement exploded onto the scene. Major mobile phone manufacturers quickly realized it sent a troubling message and buried it on most devices. My iPhone 4 does not have, for example, which brings us to our important questions.

At what age should adult men abandon using emojis? Can an extra few years be added for ironic emoji use? Is it ok to use suggestive emojis in every context or just certain contexts?

Now let’s watch the Miley Cyrus music video together.

If you’re old school there’s a fair bit of irony in the #metoo as the “hashtag” is a pound symbol so they’re kinda saying “pound me too”

My boss once said about the French that “they fuck with their faces and fight with their feet”. Which I guess should make them very successful at the olympics.

for a year or so when i was a student i had a part-time job gathering metadata – sitting in my anthropology professor’s office going through all the dissertations on his shelves and making a list of titles, authors, years, topics, keywords and so on. was pretty easy and interesting work. think i earned about $19/hour. was getting high and going to the skatepark every evening skating around with metadata whirling in my head. sweet as!

Awesome! Bickerton pun runs are times I cherish. All the hard work and hours of training finally paid off. Hours upon hours searching google for insight into James’ knowledge drops he brings here, cause I care, care to learn, learn just what the hell who/what he is talking about.

Lovely to see you embracing the Olympic Creed
“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well.”

Baron de Coubertin ( The French founder of the International Olympic Committee ) was inspired to adopt this creed after he heard a sermon by the Bishop of Pennsylvania, at a service for Olympic Athletes in 1908.

I just had an epiphany. We need to form a band. Not just any band, a parody band a la Weird Al style. Inspired by Kelly Slater, we’ll name our band “The Suffers”. We could call Weird Sal, cause accordion to Weird Sal our drummer Jelly Slayer is calling him on the other chorus line. Any suggestions for our first parody? I say:

Listening to Miley on Howard Stern a few weeks ago she sounds like a 50 year-old, bottle blonde, trailer park dwelling, chain-smoker.
