[net.misc] Official Smiling Faces :-)

chevy@ihuxq.UUCP (08/24/83)

	
	It's time we have an official "smiling face" list for use by
	all netters. Here is my submission for that official list of 
	"smiling faces for all occasions", and possible uses:


:-)      the normal smiling face, appended to a sentence or an article
	 means 'this is a joke' or 'this is supposed to make you laugh'

:->      normal smiling face with deformed lips, same as above except
	 person who submitted it has problems with their lips

:-{)     normal smiling face with a moustache, same as #1 except
         submitter has moustache

:-}      normal smiling face with pretty lips, same as #1 except
	 person that submitted it is wearing lipstick or some other
	 lip appearance improving device

:-|      no expression face, 'that comment doesn't phase me'

:-(      sad face, 'that comment makes me sad [mad]'

;-)      smiling face gets his lights punched out (could be pirate
	 smiling face??), submitter is a practical joker who played
	 one too many and got beat up

;-|      no expression face gets his lights punched out, says nothing
	 but still gets beat up

;-(      sad face gets his lights punched out, sad or mad and got
	 beat up, or 'that makes me so mad that if I ever
	 see you I'll punch your lights out'

:-\      popeye smiling face, for people who look like popeye

;-\      popeye gets his lights punched out

:-]      biting sarcasm smiling face, used when sarcasm is intended,
	 since we cannot inflect our voice over the net

:-[      biting criticism smiling face, ditto for criticism

:*)      drunk smiling face, for those of us who like get intoxicated
	 before or while reading netnews

:~)      smiling face needs a nosejob, no explanation necessary


	Any additions to this list can be posted to this newsgroup
	or mailed to your local 'Mr. Yuk' distributor. :-)
