Ya know what Persephone? One more giant grin and I'm gonna geek...

For the uninitiated, here ya go: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=99046
Seems to ME, no matter how much I love ya, that you can NOT post without the big-giant smiley. Am I wrong? Have I seen to many MPSIMS posts? Does anybody in the whole freaking world care?

NO!

For my sake, PLEASE utilize another smiley!!!

I’m gonna go … well … I was gonna say nutso, but that’s been proved to already have happened.

I’m gonna go … worse!

And we all know that we don’t want that to happen.

Thanks.

Xploder

:smiley:

… I’m sorry. Please don’t hurt me.

:smiley:

Sorry!

sigh…

I love that smilie!

Xploder, you have been here long enough that you had to know it would happen. :smiley:

yeahrightsure…does it matter if I get sick of the damn thing?

grumble…fucking big ass grin…grumble…

I’ll tell y’all what…is this better?
Why the fuck do you have to use that big ass smiley all the damn time? Can you not fathom how to construct a different one? For ghod sake woman! You don’t smile that damn big in person! Not even when you’re drunk to the point of not being capable of talking coherentl or even walking from point A to point B! What the Fuck!!!
Better?
I would have said that in the first place, BUT the fact is, Persephone IS one of my best friends.

:smiley:

The only thing worse than a rant about smilies is a fake rant about smilies.

Geesh, she finally got her own Pit thread. Now ain’t that the grits?

It Stix :smiley:

I know, persephone as the subject of a pit thread! Oooh, this is so exciting!

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I hate everything about that smilie. It embodies, in one fell stroke, a poster who thinks he’s (I’m using “he” because there’s one poster I have in mind) just said something funny that isn’t funny at all.

I can’t vouch for Persephone’s use of it, I can’t say I’ve ever noticed it from her. God knows I love her. But then, unjustified smilie-hating is simply an opinion.

Love the poster, hate the smilie.

Picking on poor 'ploder that way…y’all are a bunch of dicks. :stuck_out_tongue:

Why you may ask? Because when you end EVERY post with a giant smiley, it lessens the crdibility of said post damn near to nothing.

Thanks thinksnow.

Then again…why no one has told her about THIS thread is beyond me. I’d do it, but I’m currently without a phone :slight_smile:

Goodness gracious! My very own Pit thread, and I’m four days late! Sorry about that, Xploder. ultress did tell me about it, but I got busy doing something else and forgot all about it.

You forgot to mention the time I was puking out the back seat of your car. Not a cause for smiling, I know, but you guys were laughing at me. I know it.

True. IRL, Xploder is one of the all-time best friends I’ve ever had. He’s a prince. Really!

So I feel perfectly comfortable in saying bite me, wanker! And then tell Mrs. X I said hi, and we’ll have to get together and do ome Christmas shopping. Without you. Loser.

:smiley:

Like I really WANT to go to the fucking mall with you two…

:smiley: Awwww. What a cute little ol’ thread, Xploder.

I love smilies too because they make me and others feel happy inside. :smiley:
