How the hell is this supposed to mean “stick out tongue”? 😛 You have to look really, really close, otherwise it looks like a smily face with an open mouth smile.

And how the hell is this supposed to mean “embarassement”? :o It looks like the damn thing is taking a nap!

And who the hell uses this? ;j I mean, how often does one need to portray an Orthodox Jew?

🙂 : Hey Cool, how are you today?

🆒 : Totally rad, dude! How about you?

🙂 : My life is so wonderful. Things just couldn’t get any better.

🆒 : Sweet!

🙂 : So, what do you want to do on this beautiful day?

🆒 : Let’s go see how your neighbor is doing!

🙂 : _knocks on neighbor’s door_

:rolleyes: : _Opens door_ What do you want?

🆒 : Hey dude, wanna hang out or something?

:rolleyes: : Like I’d ever want to hang out with you losers. _closes door_

🆒 : That was TOTALLY uncool.

🙂 : Oh well, tt happens. Let’s not let it spoil our day. How about we get lunch or something?

Later, at the restaurant:

🆒 : Hey, it’s your brother! Let’s go sit with him!

🙂 : Hi Frown, how’s it going?

☹ : Pretty lousy. My wife left and took the kids. She said I was “too negative”.

🆒 : Whoah. Major bummer, dude.

🙂 : Aw, don’t let it get to you. She wasn’t right for you anyway.

🆒 : Yeah, there’s tons of other chicks.

☹ : Maybe you guys are right. I’ll try to get over it.

Wow. I didn’t even realize that first smiley was _supposed_ to be sticking its tongue out.

I like the embarassed one though.

If we’re pitting smilies, This: :mad: doesn’t really look mad. Unless I look really carefully, all I see is a red dot, which is more reminiscent of an old 7Up campaign than it is evocative of anger.

The Pit is getting rather boring of late. I pit the shitty OP and his shitty lame-ass pit thread. I also pit Giraffe or who ever is running this place these days for not moviing this piece of crap out of the pit and into MSPMS or wherever the retard academy resides to make lame ass jokes.

This technicolor thread does not belong in the Pit, and probably not anywhere else, either. Closed.

**zuma** , sorry to be tardy to the party, but you are familiar with Report This Post, right?
