Smileys

Any chance of getting new smileys anytime soon? At the very least, 2 more so we don’t have 4 rows of 3, and 1 row of 1?

How to tell is one is anal retentive.

As long as we’re dreaming, I’d like a pony.

Why can’t we have just 2 more? I’ve been here for 4 years, not a long time compared to some of you, but maybe enough time to have at least 1 smiley added to the list.

Also, with regards to the smiley with its tongue out :stuck_out_tongue: I just have to say that I totally disagree with the emotion it is conveying. When I make that text smiley with a colon and the letter “p”, it is a sarcastic, annoyed reaction. While I’m generally not serious about it, I feel that the eyes and smile of that smiley does not properly convey the type of emotion that I feel I am expressing when I use that. As it stands, it is too similar in meaning and context with the winky smiley :wink: and I feel that if we were to modify :stuck_out_tongue: to having a more dour countenance, it would expand the range of emotions that our existing smileys express without having to add more smileys which seems to be a dead end.

A terrible void was created when we dropped “Putz!” and “Happy Yid.” Those were the days.

Instead of adding two - to produce a symmetrical rows of smilies - we could get rid of 13; that would tidy things up nicely.

I agree - this looks like a smile with eyes squinted and tongue just visible, basically a goofy smile. This is not what I think of :stuck_out_tongue: to mean.

Someone needs an OCD smiley.

Eh, it’s better than the BJ smiley, that doesn’t look at all embarrassed: :o.

I’ve said it before on this board, but my absolute favorite smiley is :dubious:.

It just perfectly conveys skepticism, and seems especially appropriate for this board.

Ah yes, when we were young and carefree and had wild unprotected sex in every thread.

A pony smiley?

EVer look at the snopes board?

17 rows, seven smilies each row.

Want that?

I just want 2 more. And the modification to an existing one. And maybe some ice cream. And a pony. Is that too much to ask??

I miss Smashy, from the Winter of our Missed Content.

Do you remember what happened the last time? Ice cream all over the pony.

Me too.

Holy cow, that was 10 years ago! :eek:

The obvious missing smiley is the barf smiley for all those disgusting TMI threads.

I will never see that smilie the same ever again! Thanks a lot!
:wink:

Finally, an SDMB-appropriate reason for getting more smileys.

Well, there are the two super-secret smileys that take up those conspicuously empty spaces you see, but only old-timers can use/see them. But I’ve already said too mu

I do have to give credit to the OP for coming up with a pedantic, nit-picky, obsessive-compulsive reason for adding smileys.
