When all the busy-ness has died down how about we have one or more new smileys? voted for in a poll of course.  
It’s just an idea.

After things calm down around here, that’s a great idea.

However, we got ways to go. Heck, we’re still settling stuff from the move, got lots of boxes to unpack. Anybody seen the box with the old smileys in it?

I left it right next to the box of stuff from the liquor cabinet and now they’re both gone.

Not sure where we put it, lose my own head next.

If anyone’s taking votes, how about a barf smiley?

As for the Wally, smack and happy Jew, well, they just might be over here. We moved offices a couple weeks ago, and I’ve still got boxes of stuff to sort out.

I assume you’re joking, but if by some chance you can’t find the smilies, I have all of them in my saved thread file. They download into a separate folder whenever you save a thread.
