Barry, don't go expanding your reign.
You see: It is Gil who is the center of the Universe.
In the cosmos, You clearly deserve to be awarded NYC and more.

Edited to add:

Since I to am considerably technologically challenged here, Barry; let me add this experiment. I think that the formula for the smiley emotocon is as follows:
COLON, CLOSE PARENTHESIS
No space between them.

Edited to add: WOW, it worked! Now we know. Try it!

Being bolstered by this success, please allow me the following range of emoticons:

Unhappy formula = COLON, OPEN PARENTHESIS
Joke formula = SEMICOLON, CLOSE PARENTHESIS

If this is correct - who knows others?
