I just looked these up, to see how many we had to choose from. I surprised to see that :o is supposed to show embarrassment. I always thought it indicated boredom – a yawn. But instead it’s an “oops.” Go figure. ---

Brynda, when you open up a Reply box, look in all that fine print at the top, just under the ‘Straight Dope’ logo. There’s a link there to the smileys. Or you could try clicking [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php?action=showsmilies) if you just want to look, right now. ---

So who’s in charge of drawing these things? :eek: Where did they come from? And, most importantly, why isn’t there one of the Hitchhiker’s logo? This one 😛 is close, but no hands. Time to lobby for the Hitchhiker’s Smilie! Who’s with me? ---

You bold usernames the same way as you bold everything else. Click [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php?action=bbcode) for the quickie tutorial on vB code, which includes the instructions for **bolding** , underlining, and _italicizing_, as well as for [hyperlinks](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=43773), > [@](#): > > quotes, and other cool stuff. There should be a thread on the ATMB forum explaining more advanced stuff, like sub- and superscripts, funky symbols not found on your keyboard, and so forth. ---

In order of preference, I present of you the Divine Triune of Smilies: :D, it most appropriately conveys my jovial sense of humor when posting. :rolleyes:, accurately exemplifies my feelings when I screw up a post. Unfortunately, this happens more frequently than it should. :rolleyes: 🆒, ain’t this smilie kool or what?
