Hey all . . .

In the wake of Wally, I’ve noticed lots of smilies, including the new “Putz” version. Can someone post all the known smilies, and how to type 'em?

Much obliged

Hey, Chief shoots at old-timers who use smilies too. He hates 'em. So don’t take it personal, okay? 🙂

::laughs for the first time today::

Okay, sorry, nothing going on over here, move along…just a woman laughing like a loon.

Now, Chief, _Bad_ Chief, quit terrorizing the new folks.

Wish I could say he’s off his meds, but he’s like this all the time. Smiling faces do that to him.
