I assume others have thought about this like I have, and judging by the :wally one we have, there’s a certain amount of customization that can be done with them. Assuming there’s not a limited number of them that we can use at once, what suggestions do you have for these. (Also, admins, what steps must be taken to make something a smiley?)

All I have so far are:

Shrieking in horror, possibly from TMI

Another that I thought of last night, but forgot to post and forgot it.

The barfing smiley taht everyone else has already suggested

A smilie with palm-forward hands on either side. It would mean, “Okay, you’re right. Don’t hurt me.”

I think your link is broken.

If sick smileys are so in demand, I happen to have one that I made myself. It’s quite a bit more tasteful than an actual barf (yuck). Mods, where do I go to submit it for consideration?
