Talkinsquirrel - you got it now. Very nice!
Silo- at first I thought it was a mixed metaphore, but whe I actually turned my head to look, it was really cool- a face picture cocked at an angle!

Billie: sometimes they are good, as in typed conversations you cannot see the expression, or hear the tone of voice. So, bag any good "billies" recently?

My favorite smiley is a tie, yours and yours.

Did you see the thread Omniscient started?
Coolest new username

Omniscient:
"Well I'm generally not one to focus on this shit, but for some reason this caught my eye. I felt like taking notice of it, and since the MB has been FUBAR for me all weekend I'm going to indulge in some really mundane stuff .

The user ¦:•) is the best username I've seen since Imthecowgodmoo. Maybe I'm high, but I think its cool.

OK, back to being a adult for a while."


Jetty:
"I think :D has a cool username. "

There are smilies that make me happy
There are smilies that make me blue—
There are smilies that chase away the teardrops,
Like the sunbeams chase away the dew!
There are smilies that have a tender meaning
That the eyes of love alone may see—
But the smilies that fill my heart with sunshine
Are the smilies that you post to me!

Your sig line
"Until you stalk and overrun, you can't devour anyone." -Hobbes

reminds me of a Far Side cartoon where the disgusted Hun is chewing out his troups: "How many times do I have to tell you?! It's rape, pillage, and then burn."

Malarky -

I'm not going to fix THAT smilie for you, but I will tell you the secret of the hard space ( no pun intended!)
instead of regular spaces, which are squeezed up, you can use either the "code" instruction or the Alt0160 (Alt key down, then 0160, then Alt key up) for hard spaces.

Like this for Spider Woman's trademark (although in her case the lines seem like spider webs)

I like your Crayola by the way. But not in black.
Let's try blue

Is there a way to get the {CODE} directive to single-space the lines? That double-spacing is only marginally useful and gets in the way of ASCII art.
