Excellent! Thanks Monique!
 
Well, you've given me two of my favorite smilies; the roll-eyes and the sticking out tongue one! I always had to improvise on those ("cute" for rolleyes, and "silly" for tongue) We seem to be missing the "cry" smiley now, though...

You ever see Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery?
 
  • #12
I only saw the one with the Dutch evil guy.. :confused:

In the first Austin Powers, there was a scene where Dr. Evil went on and on about how his (non-clone) son was inadequate as an evildoer. One of his insults was:

"You are the Diet Coke of eeeevil... just one calorie, not evil enough!"


You should see the first one; IMHO it was the only good one of the three.

Yes! I feel emotionally inadequate now. No "crying" no "devil" no "sarcastic". Greg, PLEASE give us back our emoticons!

We're also missing the 'Ah' smilie - the white one that went back and forth from :) to :O. I miss him. Although I used him more as a 'WOW!' smilie... I also like the goofy-faced tongue smilie better than the cute one we have now - although I do like it, too. Can we have both? :smile: I think I also miss the 'cute' smilie. She was - well, CUTE! :biggrin: And absolutely we need the devil smilie back. REALLY BAD!

Question: Why do our sigs show up in 'preview post' but not the post itself? That's just mean and rude! Signature Tease! :mad: :biggrin:

edit: OMG! YES! The 'crying' smilie! We want him back!

It's probably meant to humble us all (which isn't a bad idea), but I miss the member# and what wavelength I am. I was hoping to make gamma one day! :frown:

I should add, I love the new format. Very nicely done.
