Maybe the trick is to keep adding new smilies so that the old ones get used less, then you can remove the obsolete smilies, and by the time anyone notices there are fewer smilies, it will be too late, muwahahahaha! [Evil Laugh] [Evil Laugh] [Evil Laugh]

I have a question/comment [Group Hug]

Yes. The pink one is going to go down long on the left side with the rest of the receivers, but what they're REALLY doing is have the quarterback run the ball.

There should be no smilies. Ever.

And HTML should be allowed.

[Hat]
I don't get it.

*posts it again*

[Hat]

[Hat] [Hat] [Hat]

I still don't get it. Is it an emoticon if there is no discernable emotion?

I'm puzzled. Is that the emotion?

That seems possible, Kayla.

[Hat]

*looks at it*

Maybe it's the Bogey emoticon? "I'm feeling insousciant and effective today."

[Hat]

Maybe [Hat] = [Cool]

Yeah, give us an inch and we demand a mile.

I definitely prefer unanimated or subtly-animated emoticons.

But barring the addition of :angel: ...I'll just have to use [Evil] to represent my purity and wholesome goodness. It's accurate enough. [Wink]

This [Hat] is clearly a take-a-bow kind of thing. It's like in The Little Prince. The little prince claps his hands, and the conceited man takes off his hat. Obviously.

You're all wrong.
[Hat] is an emotion: it's :pleased to meet you:.

If it were :hats off to you: it would just serve the same purpose as [Hail]

And as for :bows:, this is one we still need. The closest one is [Big Grin]
or maybe [Blushing]
or perhaps [Taunt]

I am convinced that [Hat] is a *hats off* smilie. But only the mods can settle this. Kristine? And if you do read this, I'm really sorry I posted the tour cities before they were finalizied! [Embarrassed]

Speaking of little girls in sundresses, I had a really good sundress when I was little. It was bright yellow, with large vivid orange spots and I wish I had it in a bigger size.

"-Kittens"
Yup, hate the little f***s. They tear up my furniture and crap on the floor.

"-Little girls in sundresses"
They really stink. I mean, put some pants on those little creeps!

"-Newborn puppies with their eyes just opened" Sorry, I love puppies, can't even pretend not to.

"-Jigglypuff"-
he's OK. Makes for a good frisbee.

"-Balloons and stuffed animals for the sick"
Oh my goodness, if I were sick, and someone gave me those things, I would scream inside my head for the rest of the day. Smuggle me in some rum or begone.

"-Shirley temple delivering balloons and stuffed animals to the sick while holding a newborn puppy with it's eyes just opened"
The b**** wouldn't make it two steps inside my hospital room door!

All emoticons can kiss my behind. And believe me, it will take them forever. (no offense, Mr. and Mrs. Card)

Finally I can sleep while posting on Hatrack! It's the best of both worlds!!

I like 'em. I think they're fab, especially [Wall Bash]
which I haven't gotten to use much yet.

I only dislike one of them, this:

[The Wave]

not sure why.

Overall, I like the positivity. For communication purposes I think the following would be useful:

"beating a dead horse" (tough)
"one upsmanship" (racking of logic points or something. pinball machine?)
"insider joke" (alternatively, an icon for "code" or "nudge-nudge")

[Hat]
