    What age should you stop caring?

    I tend to arrange my facial features depending on my mood.

    I am like a chameleon in that regard.

    A karma chameleon.

    .............unless you're a nudist. But why would nudists not use smiley faces?

    29 years and 364 days, your supposed to be grown up when your 30 don't you know.

    Smiley is an 'icon' of our generation and should be celebrated in every post no matter the age :) ......look at him, little yellow ball of happiness!

    I think we are in dire need of more emoticons. I regularly find myself in a heated debate over the merits of the 32A's wine red suede curtains (which are just divine!:D) over that of the 32B's polyester chennile flame retardant carmine red (which is quite 2002 ugh!*) and I find myself searching for the 'superiorly sophisticated to yours, au courant, fashion tastes' emoticon to adequately depict my emotional state. But alas, to no avail. :(

    I feel more emoticons could help the communication between posters, because so much of what we read has to be read without any inflection in a voice or change in the contraction or relaxation of muscles in the face and thus so much of what we read is interpretive, and some disagreements can be by a misunderstanding or miscommunication.

    The emoticons I would suggest that I'm we are acutely lacking are:

    1. A Black Power emoticon for greeting a brotha! (In solidarity).

    2. That weird emotion where you feel slightly incestuous thoughts and you think, 'Noooo, BUT YEAH!'.


      Ye know, that weird emotion where you feel turned on but disgusted at the same time but that just drives you on! That certainly needs it's own emoticon!


    3. An emoticon for taking the piss out of the French.

    4. An emoticon that adequately depicts my opinion on who would win in a fight between Superman and Batman.

    If the mods do not comply with my wishes I shall strap dynamite to myself and blow up:
    1. A church

    2. A hospital

    3. And a primary school.
    Probably in that order.

    Balls in your court MODS!






    *I am also considering starting a website with the explicit intention of telling females what is fashionable. Sort of like a wiki so they don't have to worry any more. I'll be as powerful as Perez one day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,370 ✭✭✭✭Birneybau


    An emoticon to show one's level of inebriation perchance?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,236 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Get rid of roll-eyes for a start. I refuse to post the bastard and it's annoying to look at.

    If you post a roll-eyes to annoy me....you smell like poo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    I'f I had one choice I would choose a popcorn smiley.

    Oh and WTF are you on about with your mass transit soft furnishings spiel? :pac:

    Touché mods, touché.

    (You see this a perfect example of where I could use an emoticon that depicted my begrudging respect for your lack of compassion and nonchalant attitude towards the lives of people who are in danger).

    I think I'll go with the hospital first. :)
