Actually, I wish UBB Code Images were enabled.

Posted by ana kata (Member # 5666) on :

Thank Hobbes for that! He started the campaign to extend the smilies and the moderators (thank them too) did it! [Smile]

Let the record show that not everyone likes smilies.

Boo.

(Yes, I know that people will respond to this post by bombarding me with smilies. You wound me.)

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

I used to hate the friggin group hug smilie until CT and I determined they were actually post-apocalyptic mutants huddled around a fire barrel for warmth.

Now I think it's cool.

Still hope the party smilies die an horrible, inauspicious death, though.

Posted by Happy Camper (Member # 5076) on :

Yeah, that one just doesn't seem quite right to me. Could be because I'm reminded of the 7up dot every time I look at the party smilie. [Dont Know]

Posted by ana kata (Member # 5666) on :

Awwww, man! Smilies are soooo innocuous compared to DOBIES! If you wish for anything on hatrack to die a horrible, inauspicious death, wish it for the dobie!

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Yes, the smilies here are cool. [Smile]

Once upon a time in a land far far away there was a kingdom ruled by a [Evil]

had deposed the rightful king, and kept him and the king's daughter, the young and beautiful princess locked in a brick cellar, where they spent their days trying to escape: [Wall Bash]

The people of the kingdom had once been [Smile]

and

but under the [Evil]

they were

Every monday they had to gather and [Hail]

. If anyone missed the [Hail]

session then the [Evil]

would become [Mad]

When the [Evil]

was

he was very cruel: all the people were [Angst]

of his wrath and fury. Sometimes the [Evil]

was

for no reason other than he woke up [Grumble]

This pattern went on for years: people [Frown]

One day a young man , [Cool]

, decided that his people had suffered long enough under [Evil]

. He waited until the middle of the night when everyone was [Sleep]

and crept to the palace to fight [Evil]

.

Unfortunately the guards saw [Cool]

and brought him before [Evil]

, who was for once in a [Big Grin]

mood, so he didn't kill [Cool]

on the spot.

about how he had been treating the people. [Evil]

just

. When he had finished [Evil Laugh]

said to

'I will tell you a riddle. If you get it right I will leave the kingdom forever'

What has teeth, but cannot bite? [Evil Laugh]

looked at

in disbelief. [Roll Eyes]

'everyone knows that one. a comb of course!' [Roll Eyes]

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

'Oh', said [Evil]

looking rather [Embarrassed]

. 'Guess I'll be going then'. And so [Evil]

left the kingdom and [Cool]

was

.

Just as [Cool]

was leaving to join the townspeople to [Party]

, he heard a strange thumping noise from beneath his feet. Almost as if two people were [Wall Bash]

on a brick dungeon wall!

I hope this ends post-apocalyptically so we can see the mutants make a cameo.

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

[Cool]

ran downstairs to the [Wall Bash]

noise, found the dungeon and freed the king and princess. They were unharmed except for rather large bumps on their heads from all the [Wall Bash]

was

at the princesses' beauty. He stood awestruck as she graciously thanked him for saving the kingdom.

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

Then the princess [Kiss]

who immediately [Blushing]

then

her back.

and the princess went to tell the people that [Evil]

had left, and everyone was [Big Grin]

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

. That night there was much [The Wave]

and

. And a little more [Kiss]

.

Unfortunately [Evil]

was the only one in the kingdom who knew how to mantain the nuclear reactor. 10 years later it exploded, and the people of the kingdom were transformed into variations of [Monkeys]

who were forced to [Group Hug]

around the still radioactive waste.

Apart from that everyone lived happily ever after.

The End.

*applauds* Imogen, that was awesome!!

And I LOVE smilies!!! [The Wave]

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

thanks raia (resisting the urge to add a smile)

Posted by ana kata (Member # 5666) on :

Awwwww! [Cry]

I love a happy ending!

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

[ROFL]

And you even granted Ralphie's wish! [Hat]

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

I would have to disagree with this thread's title. The coolest smilies cannot be found on this board.

Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :

[Big Grin]

That was beautiful! [Hail]

Posted by narrativium (Member # 3230) on :

I agree with saxon. We need a ninja smily.

Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :

[Wave]

I simply LOVE these smilies [Smile]

. I always use it in my e-mails, and would like to be able to use it in AIM too. [Wink]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

We're lacking the barfing smilie (though I think we would overuse that one sometimes. [Wink]

) We also need some of those double smilies, like the dueling pair, the wedgie one, the kick in the butt smilie...

but our current group is much more fun than the old one, so here's to the evolution of Hatrack! [Big Grin]

<----favorite smilie.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Don't forget the fro smiley.

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

Personally, I don't think Hatrack needs the fro or ninja graemlins, or any others that it doesn't already have. Mind you, those are among the coolest smilies in existence, but, to me, Hatrack will always be a place uncluttered by extraneous graemlins. Ninja smilies are good for GreNME and Sakeriver* and Mad Owl and even gsmaq (remember the gsmaq days?) but they just don't feel like Hatrack to me.

* which, by the way, has ninja smilies, in addition to fro and pirate smilies, and is still accepting new members. [Wink]

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Yes, this forum has the exact right smilies. [Razz]

See! I knew it was around somewhere.

Once feeling sad by a World Watch essay, I cheered myself up by reasoning OSC that they couldn't be all bad if he had a message board with such amazing smilies.

Better than signatures with pictures that are longers than people's posts. Or avatars.
