TheLiveSoundGuy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Agreed. And one of those doesn't work. I have no idea how the forum BBS software works, so I'm not sure what the solution would be, but I agree. Here is a post featuring every smiley we have (L to R & T to B) so you can see what works and what doesn't. :-& :D/ :-& :-& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Back in my day we had ONE smily face, and it was EVERYwhere. Yellow freakin' smily faces on decals, bumper stickers, fabric, posters, all the same freakin' smily face. Then some brave soul came up with a variation, the face forming a repulsed countenance with squinted eyes and a wrinkled mouth and the caption "Have a Sh_tty Day!". Cute, but it opened the floodgates to smily faces that cover every single emotion addressed in a typical DSM tome. I say we purge the wannabe smily faces everywhere and go back to 1971 when smily faces MEANT something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Allen Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I rarely use smilies. I'm a curmudgeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well I'm a misanthrope! So there! I'm a misogynist too, unless one smiles at me. Then I follow her home. Actually I wouldn't be a misanthrope if my meds were balanced. I just can't find a Doctor who will prescribe me the right mix.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 the fiddle: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_did_the_expression_'playing_the_world's_smallest_violin'_come_from the violin is for anytime someone is whining when they shouldn't be. it's basically a higher brow way of calling someone a crybaby. Don't believe it. The poster claims that it originated on a M*A*S*H episode in 1974. I heard that one before Hot Lips ever uttered it. I suspect, it was strategically put into the script as being a 'saying' that was popular back in the day... 1950ish. It's definitely as old or older than that. Random Callee: "Hello?" Caller: "Is your refrigerator running?" Callee, "Umm... Why yes it is." Calleer, "Then you'd better catch it." >click< Random Callee (usually a tobacco selling store): "Hello?" Caller, "Do you have Prince Albert in a can." Callee, "Why yes we do." Caller, "Then you'd better let him out!" >click< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballcorner Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Where I live, an eccentric dog groom operates a poodle salon on the main floor and the SMILE MUSEUM upstairs. I like my flakes to be made of corn. That's all I have to say about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
