While the bunny is away, the men will play

One Smilies Source[/color]

When you get there, the first page loads quickly, then you choose a category from the list on the left-hand side. The later pages load slowly (they are "data rich"), so you'll have to be patient. When you click on a smilie, the code for it appears in the window at the top of the page. Point yer mouse at that window with the code, right click, and select copy. Then come back here, and right click again in the "quick reply" window or the "post reply" window, and then hit submit. Voila, you have your smiley.

When pigs fly....ha!

Sure, sure, go ahead and show off. Go ahead with your gratuitous display of "emoticons gone wild." I know what you're thinking. "Look at that stupid capybara farmer with his one simple emoticon. Let's dazzle him with our impressive arsenal of emoticons. We'll make him feel like he'd wish he was never born!"

Well, the fact of the matter is... I am happy with my one emoticon. As a matter of fact, I feel a special bond beginning to develop between me and my emoticon.

I am at peace with myself.

you look like you've been goosed by a giant squid, Gus.

giant squids are scary creatures

Gus has a beloved, escaped, pet giant squid for whom he is pining.

mind you - with Gus, "love" could mean calamari if the errant squid ever returns home to the swamp where he was raised...

Giant squid or Colossal squid? I seem to recall a littlek thread about this...
