:rolleyes:
I think it’s quite obvious that this is “just farted”. Assume its presence in all my future posts, if I don’t actually include it.
I thought it looked more like "The poster above me doesn’t know that I also licked his piece of pie*.
Okay, it’s official - I hate the new smileys. They look Disneyfied to me.
Bring back the blowjob smiley!
That’s a good point. If you go back and read old threads, but with the old smileys replaced by the pastel versions, you’re seeing different symbols than what the writers of the posts intended to use and what the original readers of the thread were seeing and responding to.
Thirded!!!
And if we can’t have the old smileys back, can we at least have avatars now? I feel naked w/o my avatar.
Avatars looks like a bunch of kids playing on their Daddy’s computer.
=(
Subtle, nuanced changes to Monty Python lines, complaints about loud neighbors, and descriptions of bowel movements and zits? Really? We’re talking about emoticons accompanying message board posts, about 99% of which are inconsequential. Are we really so full of ourselves that we think most posts here are literary masterpieces whose deep, complex meaning would be affected by something so minor as a change in the color of a smiley?
God forbid a future upgrade or software change brings with it a change in line spacing, or a new default font. “But I intended to use Trebuchet, and now that Arial is the default, my old post conveys an entirely different message!”
Quick laser every past post in granite before they get lost in translation.
Oh for fuck’s sake, they’re just smilies, people. If you don’t like them, don’t use them. Jesus.
Yes. Yes we are.
It’s staring at me…
Now I’m really missing the old rollyeyes smilie.
Darn. 
That could be said of the entire board. When was the last time an Earth-shaking decision was made because of a Straight Dope literary masterpiece’s deep, complex meaning?
I like the old smilies better, and here I’ll stand and here I’ll die!
After I have a cup of tea.
It’s LOOKING AT ME!
Somebody DO SOMETHING!
This listhas most of our old smilies (including smashie) and some other ones (animated and non-animated) in the same style.
I’d want looney, tired and dunce.
You do realize that an epileptic, looking at all those smileys, might go off the deep end.
It’s still* looking* at me!
With its beady little eyeballs.
Oh, G-d, no! No, no, no!
