Whoa! Why do they all look cracked out?! I would have voted for dubious if it didn’t look so stoned. My vote is wry. ---

I don’t think this approval voting is fair for people who want no new smileys. The smileys are gonna rack up more votes. Yer allowing for ballot stuffing by the pro-smiley contingent. And we all know they’ won’t stick to just one smiley. Look at their record! : frowny smiley: : protest smiley: : row of smileys signing out their demand for Cecilian oversight of this travesty of the electoral process: :not to mention the interpertive dancer smiley: ---

It looks like “dubious” is going to win for sure, now, so let’s focus our attention on putting “not listening” in dead last. I didn’t think it was possible to hate a smilie more than :rolleyes:. ---

Voting in favor of Dubious: 🙂 😃 😉 :rolleyes: 😕 :o 😛 Voting in favor of Wry: 🆒 :eek: ;j Voting in favor of Evil Hamster: :mad: (Wants another evil smiley) And a contrary opinion on the whole idea: :wally :smack: Looks like a strong lead for dubious! Dubious! Dubious! You’re just so fun… oobious. That didn’t rhyme. :wally ---

I like Evil Hamster, but s/he looks a little bit like a spider, or a deer tick, or something… Actually, I like all of them, with the exception of Not Listening. Though Not Listening is kind of funny, if you pretend the hands are guns, and s/he is shooting him/herself in the head from both sides. Like most of the others, I’m gonna have to vote for Dubious, I guess - s/he’s the only one I can see myself actually using. I make that expression most of the time in real life, anyway. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by E-Sabbath \* > \*\*I want Smashie! \*\* Why didn’t you submit it? I’m glad it didn’t end up in the poll because the cult following would have gotten it chosen, even though it’s about as useful and topical as **OG SMASH!!!** ---

How 'bout next time including a LOTR or a StarTrek smilie and see how many members participate in that poll? \ ---

I’ve found myself in need of a “yuk” or “grossed out” smile more than a few times. “Dubious” would also be cool, as would the “Evil” smile. ---

I think we could get a \lot\ of mileage out of the yuk smiley, in time for the next batch of pubic hair threads and whatnot. ---
