How about a “D’oh!” smiley?

How about the [“i’m on fire”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=133633) smiley?

How about smileys for expressing these emotions:  
Severe anguish.  
Relief–sort of happy-tears.  
Boredom.  
Groucho-type leer.  
Dignified smile (eyes closed)

Two smilies that would be useful to me:

1. An “Applause” smiley to support someone else’s post.
2. A “Did you even \*think[/] about the implications of what you just posted?” smilie. I can’t picture what it would look like, but I did think about it a little before posting the idea.

Well, after this last week’s hamster incident I don’t want to bother **Arnold** with a meaningless little smiley poll that will take up lots of hammie’s energy and work hours.

I do think there are some good ideas here though so hopefully when the hamsters are all re-fueled and energized we can have that smiley poll after all :).
