If you could add new nifty smilies what masterpieces would you add?
I think I’d add a troll with its mouth sewn shut. I’m sure everyone else has better ideas for smilies, which I’d like to hear.
I always thought a smiley with a lovesick expression (and maybe little hearts floating around it) would be popular here. It’d have to have a dreamy, blissful look on its face that captures the sigh aspect of flirting.
and of course everyone has bemoaned the lack of the “pukey-face” smiley.
a hair-tearing screaming smiley.
a snoring (bored) smiley
and I’d replace the used-card 
smiley with a more evil wicked grinning smiley with the eyes not closed.
I want to see an Appalled Dowager smiley, glaring through a lorgnette and saying, “puh-LEASE!”
Arrrgh! That was supposed to be used-car salesman smiley, not used-card smiley!
Hmm…come to think of it we need an Arrgh! smiley, with frown, eyes closed, and slapping its own face.
How about a ‘flipping the bird’ smiley for the Pit?
the BWEG smiley (big wicked evil grin), just something like the used-car sales smile only in yellow with red devil horns.
punk snot dead,
broccoli!
They used to have a little animated laughing smiley for a while; though I don’t think we should allocate that much bandwidth for an animated smiley, I’d like to see an open-mouthed laugh smiley brought back.
I could use a Homer Simpson “D’OH!” smilie. Or how about an “I’m too buzzed to be posting, so just ignore me” smilie?
I was gonna nominate an invisible smiley, but decided to just go ahead and add it myself.
So, here it is: —> <-----
Also, a variant with invisible sunglasses (for the cool look). —> <-----
Feel free to use them in all your posting needs.
(couple more invisible smileys inserted)
But seriously folks, clearly we need a Hitchhiker’s Guide smiley (like this 
but with arms), and some sort of Python-inspired smiley.
The vomiting smilie would certainly have been popular over at “The Worst Meal” thread. In it’s absence I nominate a drooling smile with its tongue slurping at one corner of its mouth. This could also be used for lacivious innuendo as well so it would be multipurpose.
A dead smiley, and an “I’m in immense pain!” smiley.
What’s that? But I don’t WANT to take my medication!
anyone up for a smug smiley?
I think a “huh” smiley, frowning and with one eyebrow raised, would greatly enhance the posting quality over here. Just my opinon, though.
Arrghh! smiley slapping its own face would be useful, but tough to do. A “blush” smiley might serve the same purpose.
ummm… can we have an angel smiley for us sweet innocent ones? Or a devil smiley, that would work too.

Personally, I’m not fond of any of the insult smilies, but if you like that sort of thing there’s a better example on
OpalCat’s message board :barf: and 
at fff.fathom.org
tshirts, who mostly seems to post in ATMB, is collecting smilies in hopes of having them added to the SDMB. OpalCat has also offered the use of any or all of the smilies she keeps at fathom.
TubaDiva has said she’d love to add them, but other things keep pushing the task to the bottom of her list. Hopefully, the logjam of problems will break someday soon.
The most recent thread on it, I think, is this: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=48063 This includes links to pages displaying the contributions. I encourage you to look at the suggestions and contribute your own. Just send them to tshirts. You could also tell TubaDiva which ones you like best, so she can eliminate some and isn’t burdened with having to get all bazillion of them added at once.
Another vote for the barfing smiley. And a dead smiley/immense pain smiley would be cool too.
