Not bad. How about just one eyeroll and stop? Maybe change the mouth line a little at that time? He’s making me dizzy.

Just kidding 😉

It was either Confucius or Rodney King who put forth the profound question: _“Can’t we all just get along and stop looking gift horses in the mouth?”_.

I offered you all a gift. A gift from my heart! And, what did you do? You spit in my face and denied my gift. I may be hung like a horse, but I am not one, so stop treating me like one, and quit looking in my mouth.

I hope you are all happy. Today, I was planning to [del] devise ways to stick it once again to the IRS[/del] gather together my income tax information in order to pay my fair and just amount of taxes (and perhaps a little extra, as a gratuity for money well spent), to my cherished government.

But, alas, thanks to you…people… and your implied demands on my precious time, I got squat done today. I have not played around with animated gifs for many years. Now, I can’t stop.

So, drat you all and may you all go to heck.

I leave you with my sincere [message of gratitude](http://www.handsfeetandbeyond.com/willy/choke.gif).

If only that last one were in the current repertoire, I know just the thread to put it in.

Sorry **Qadgop** , but that wouldn’t be appropriate linking material for a family-oriented forum such as the SDMB. You can, however, get an inking by viewing old episodes of [Mr. Ed](https://cravedfw.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/mr-ed.jpg)(then think bigger, much bigger).

…and, of course, the word I **meant** to type was “inkling” not “inking”, but, that’s the price one pays when posting online after drinking a [del]butt load of[/del] couple of glasses of Merlot.

However, if any SDMB women (less than 60 years or kilograms would like an “inking” of my horsely attributes, hit me up with a PM and we can work something out. 😉

It hasn’t been that long since our eye-rolling smiley was animated.

And, before that, we had smashy.
