Emoticon Moron

But when you want to feel better about yourself, watch an episode of COPS. Watching these morons makes me feel like I'm sitting on top of the world. I can only take a few minutes of the show, though. I just want to pick up a brick and throw it through the TV, knowing people in other countries are watching the same show.

Emoticon ineptitude must be punished!

Don't feel too bad.. I walk around at least once a week looking for my glasses and find them on top my head... You'd think I'd figure it out by now.

Hey, come on now - you learned something new this week - that has to be good - doesn't it?

Next week you could try putting in the emoticons by typing in their designations between two if these ':' just for that gold star feeling. I think we have one called blimp :blimp: which appears when you type : then blimp and then : but all the others can be done the same way. First you find them, then you tame them.

Thanks for explaining that part--I was afraid to heap more complexity onto Mickey's brand-new discovery. :explodingskull:

Now it's on your head if he has a meltdown. :manfeedingpuppiestoshark:

I have forever been trying to figure out where all of you get these really awesome emoticons. I've been searching the web, to no avail. For months. I'm not kidding. I've been trying to figure out how to capture them from posts. With no luck.

A couple of minutes ago I watched my wife click the [More] button under the emoticon legend, and am now feeling like the dumbest $%%^ on the planet. I'm also personally embarrassed because as a tech writer, a large part of my job is attention to detail. I've never actually noticed the [More] tag until just now.

I think I'm going to go have a drink or two and see if I can't pass out before I pound my head into the wall until I knock myself senseless.

Oh for dumb. (and with that statement, we'll see who is from my home state)

You're not alone, I did the same thing many moons ago.
