This hardly expended the list but it's most of what one can come
up with on a vt220 keyboard. There are many variations, like swapping
around noses, eyes, mouths, etc. Also there are many VLSF (very large
smiley faces), for example:
}:^#}) mega-smiley: updrafted bushy-mustached pointy nosed smiley with
a double-chin
Hope this list will spur people to use a larger variety of faces
to more accurately describe themselves and what they are saying.

" < :-@ smiley face screaming < :-#| smiley face with bushy mustache [deleted more smiley faces than you can shake a disk at] >Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. page@swan.ulowell.edu ulowell!page Thanks Bob for the catalog of smiley faces. I propose that we form a Working Group to officially define all possible smiley faces. Once done we should get to work to develop an IFF standard in anticipation of all of the object-oriented smiley face programs we've all been waiting for. We need to specify a whole range of SFs, from 1 to 4 bits deep, expandable to 8, to support 256 color faces. Furthermore a whole inter-smiley-face standard needs to be built up with a Smiley.device driving it all. Of course, SFs will be resolution independent to work on the Hedly monitor. SFs must also be "hemisphere independent" so we can use " :-) ", while our friends down under can use " (-: ". The foreign character set will have to be taken into account. Doing so will truely internationalize the smiley standard. This will represent the first step towards international humor standards. Soon we'll have to start comp.sys.smiley just to support all of the traffic. . . Nah, forget it. . . (Now, just how do we get SFs from Chinese characters?) -- *** mike (starship janitor) smithwick *** "he's braindead Jim. . ." [disclaimer : nope, I don't work for NASA, I take full blame for my ideas]
