I happened to have a pink elephant I made for use in emails when my daughter (:\*\*D) was teaching in India. So I added it to my suggestions page for you. Of course, there are a few other ways it could be done, e.g. larger like the donkey, or just a face like a regular smiley with big ears. ---

You don’t use the new ones, yet. The ones that you see being used, like 🙂 , ;j , and :wally have all been installed by the admins, and assigned a key sequence to use them ( :[sup][/sup]) , ;[sup][/sup]j , and :[sup][/sup]wally , respecively, for those three). The ones under discussion in this thread are ones that the admins have not yet installed, but which we think would be nice. ---

Some nice ideas. I think halo, dunce and hijack would be most useful, at least to me (although a lot of the others would be fun to have). Personally, I would like to see an astonishment/jaw-drop/I-can’t-believe-it smiley. And a Homer Simpson “D’oh!” like the wally-putz.
