New smilie submissions wanted!

Some of us have concluded that the choice of smilies here is boring and we need new/additional ones, so post/link them here and we'll pick about a dozen to stay here on THR. Machine guns, flamethrowers, barfing pumpkins, etc...

I do like this one though ----> :p
Looks like me.

I am tremendously fond of this one:

http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/cwm/cwm/eek2.gif

and this one:

http://jeeptalk.org/crack/smilies/otn/blobs/multi.gif

personally, I don't like the BIG Barfing pumpkin I've seen

bouncing
thumbs up dude
rolling ...
I like these

There was one I liked but I can't find it - it's a (purple?) scrutinizing smilie (I think LawDog uses that one?) where one eye half closes in a keen-eyed look, and then the other one does it.

edited to add: At least try to keep them proper for THR - I don't want to see Hello Kitty unless she's got an MP5!

Alright !! I've been waiting for a Moderator to say something like this. Ok folks,bring on the SMILIES...

I like most of the ones at GT...animations are cool!!!

There was this one site that had nothing but smilies!!! :eek:

There was this TOTALLY cool one of a smilie in an F-14!!! :D

Calamity Jane, Yep, that's it!

Not the changing color bouncy, please. It's too ... blinky. Maybe a one-color bouncy?

I would like the green :D back. Dunno why I liked him in green, but all the nothing-but-yellow smilies get ... depressing, somehow. Like watching a crowd of college kids, all trying to be different and all looking exactly the same in their differentness.

Also, :rolleyes: really should actually roll his eyes.

FWIW, I think we need the big green smiley. We have a history together ... heh, heh.

I like the "thumbs up" smiley and the one banging his head against the brick wall (the mods should REALLY like THAT one!) and the head slappin' smiley.

I think we need a "fickle finger of fate" smilie. :)

Mike,
Dare I ask what that smilie looks like?

I'm still trying to figure out the "fish banging" smilie.
Only thing comes to mind is the old joke about the fisherman using dynamite...

How about a ferret smilie?

I figure this one will be used plenty:

There are lots of cool smilies, but please consider whether you'd actually want to use them in posts with any reasonable frequency. Also, ideally there should be a :<code>: for each smiley, and that could get tough after a few dozen additions. Huge smileys won't fly. They'll mess up the smilies box. :(

A smiley in a Bronco? Oh my. :rolleyes:

re1973,

No need to actually put them here. If someone finds one they like, just use the URL to display it.

http://smilies.networkessence.net/s/contrib/lilly/hmm3grin2orange.gif

I think the best thing would be to replace the ones here:D with those from TFLhttp://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/otn/realhappy/biggrin.gif, and then just let everyone use whatever they can get their hands on.http://jeeptalk.org/crack/smilies/contrib/edoom/samurai.gifhttp://216.40.249.192/mysmilies/contrib/edoom/flamethrowingsmiley.gif

Yup, ditto on the head-banging smiley, the thumbs-up smiley, and the projectile-vomitrocious smiley.

http://zapatopi.net/afdb/afdbsmiley.gif

I rather like the new curmudgeonly ones Jason added to 1911Forum.

If you're taking use suggestions, I would submit that too many animated smilies can really deter from posts. I find that at sites where lots of them are offered, they are often overused or used in place of intelligent dialogue. That being said, the "when pigs fly" animation could sure have its uses in "Legal & Political".:D

The beating of a dead horse would come in handy on posts such as 1911 vs. Glock (my vote: 1911) or AK vs. AR (my vote: M1A) or Who in their right mind would ever own a gold Desert Eagle? (answer: me!)

http://www.blacktalon.net/images/smilies/smilie_splatter.gif

I love that one. Other than that a good Rolleyes Smilie would be nice. Beyond those, i don't care...well, maybe a good Barf Smilie would be handy.

We could have used the fish smilie back at TFL with the "Assault Tuna" thread.

No obscene gesture smilies, please. (Hey, it's The High Road)

Tinfoil hat smiley is almost a need. I love that one.

If you go to that site mysmilies.com, you click on a smilie you want to include in a post. At the top of the page, in a little bar, will be a URL. Copy that. (There are even instructions at the top too!)

Then come to whatever forum you want to post that smilie (THR of course! Where else?) and click "post reply."

Under the "Size Font Color" boxes, you will see a box that says "IMG." Click on that, and a box will pop up.

Paste the URL you copied into there, click "OK."

Submit the post.

Smilie away!!!

:D

The "fickle finger of fate" might not be a "High Road" smilie...;)

JIM DIVER'S SHEEP!

Mackey,

Rowan and Martin of Laugh In used to give a different group the "fickle finger of fate" (which you should now know) to a different group every week.

I'm pretty certain that NRA "won" it twice! :)

And no, I do NOT think that we should have an icon like that here.

Look HERE:

I save the good ones to a disk and then cut and paste if the web site doesnt have what I need.

Didnt mean to post the first pig again. I checked for later post and didnt see it so I put it back in. Oh well now you have a choice.:o

what about the smiley who pops up out of the toilet, looks around, then pops back down.........:cool:

I don't know about the other Mods... but this is at the point now where I wouldn't really mind if we just took out the smilies altogether. Some of us are getting way too carried away.

That's what you said about the steam engine George! :D

Can we get mini-Oleg, Mini-Runt, Mini-Tamara, Mini-C.R.Sam, etc... smileys?

Ok try these

http://smilies.crowd9.com/contrib/edoom/spacecraft.gif Tinfoil hat a must.

To be honest, I'm not too wild about some of the smileys. I know they're all in good fun, but I'm sure they're not the image I want associated with me. After all, this is "The High Road." Do we really need a knife through the head, a cursing smiley, or a smiley blasting away with a rifle?

I'm of the mind that if you can't express your ideas thoughtfully with words, then you need to work on your writing skills. I admit that I sometimes use smileys-- usually this one :D -- but only when I wanted to make sure that folks understand that I'm joking. Irony gets lost on some people.

After all the discussions we had on TFL about improper language, do we really need a cursing smiley? Isn't the jist of the message still the same?

...just for Preacherman:

My sentiments exactly. Thank you Guyon.

A lot of stuff is cool to look at, cool to play with when you first see it, and a major PITA to live around. I think most of the animations, ESPECIALLY those Guyon mentions, fall in that category.


-K

Please.

There's certainly some smilies that are appropriate for some posts, most aren't - especially those "new & cute" ones.

Especially being THR, the written word should convey the thought process, not some cutsie-thing - even to my own failures & use of them at times. (hangs head)

& Please don't go avitar - allowing personal images of how we'd like the world to see us. (yah! where's the :barf:?)

TFL was so successful due to its plain english style (that & much more), but the distraction of smilies/avaitars was blessedly reduced.

Make for a basic smilie-list & call it good.

Somebody wants to stuff in an off-forum smilie here'n there = OK enough by me, but I'd have the mods keep an eye out & frankly, shut down stuff that gets to be too stupid - based on the tenents of THR.

I like these.
