So we voted and got :smack: and :dubious: added to the selection of smileys. Now I’ve been noticing how often people say, “We really need a puking smiley!” The next time we vote on a new smiley (assuming there will be a next time), will a puking smiley be one of the candidates? Or, heck, shall we just vote for or against a puking smiley and be done with it?
If there is a next time, someone has to draw a puking smiley for the Teeming Millions to vote on. You can’t just vote for a concept and hope that the smiley will fall out of the sky.
With that being said, you can always nominate one of the candidates from a previous vote, and we previously had a puking smiley candidate.
jjimm designed a nice-looking one a while back.
Here’s the smiley, and here’s the thread he suggested it in.
Not to beat a dead horse, but we could use an icon of One-of-those-death-rays-which-shall-not-be-named in order to imply that a joke has gone too far…or maybe to say that there is an obvious joke to be made but this about wraps it up.
It gets my vote (the puking smiley - not the death ray one).
I’ve never seen jjimm’s puking smiley before, but it has just made my day.
This site has a nice collection of smilies. A barfing smiley, too, though not as good as jimm’s
Ewwww, on the site Maastricht said there is one actually spewing spew onto another smiley then the other smiley spews back. There’s another one that falls in a puddle if it’s own vomit. There’s even one that licks the puke of its face. I think I’d rather had the death ray.
Ah, but wait.
Wow, even better
I’ll stop now.
YAAAAYYY! Death Ray Smilies!
But, the puking one’s nice…sorta.
I like this one, best.
But, could it shoot blue lightning bolts, instead?
Or, a fan-shaped spray of yellow light?
I also wouldn’t mind seeing this smilie. This one too.
I also nearly forgot about Smashy.
I also wouldn’t mind seeing this smilie. This one too. Oh, and for the SUV threads …
I also nearly forgot about Smashy.
What on earth is it doing?! Rolling dice? Punching its chin? Groaning in agony after someone used this on its hand??
I suspect it is making the universal symbol for “wanker”.
[agog]
Oh really?! Is that how one denotes ‘wanker’? By sort of waggling your fingers before your face? Very neat! I shall try that out with my SO.

He’ll probably think I’ve gone nuts, though. Oh well.
Well, one doesn’t usually do it in front of its face: but a smiley is limited to its face, due to it not having a body. Here is a charming British football hooligan making the same sign at a match.
Just a heads-up: There are an awful lot of people who vehemently dislike animated smilies, to the extent that we’re highly unlikely to ever see any on this board.
This board also, in accordance with its usual strict policy on copyrights, will only use smileys designed by our own members specifically for the use of the SDMB.
So if you want a death-ray smiley, then make one yourself and enter it in the next election. And make it a single frame.
Yeah, what Chronos said about animated smilies. I would like to see some new smilies of the ordinary immobile sort, though.
