Talkinsquirrel - you got it now. Very nice!
Silo- at first I thought it was a mixed metaphore, but whe I actually turned my head to look, it was really cool- a face picture cocked at an angle!

Billie: sometimes they are good, as in typed conversations you cannot see the expression, or hear the tone of voice. So, bag any good “billies” recently? 😃

My favorite smiley is a tie, yours and yours.
Did you see the thread Omniscient started?
\*\* [Coolest new username](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25890)\*\*
Omniscient:
"Well I’m generally not one to focus on this shit, but for some reason this caught my eye. I felt like taking notice of it, and since the MB has been FUBAR for me all weekend I’m going to indulge in some really mundane stuff .
The user ¦:•) is the best username I’ve seen since Imthecowgodmoo. Maybe I’m high, but I think its cool.
OK, back to being a adult for a while."
Jetty:
"I think 😃 has a cool username. "

There are smilies that make me happy
There are smilies that make me blue—
There are smilies that chase away the teardrops,
Like the sunbeams chase away the dew!
There are smilies that have a tender meaning
That the eyes of love alone may see—
But the smilies that fill my heart with sunshine
Are the smilies that you post to me!
