New Feeling Smiley

Dear TER,

Recently my character was taking out of context because of what I posted on a threaded.  It's extremely difficulty to convey sarcasm via text without the obvious "LOL" or just stating "I'm being sarcastic".  I as well as other like me would prefer a more subtle approach.  I think a new smiley would do.

Currently you have the basic smiley. Which is good for that happy souls.  Then there is the full grin for the disgustingly bubbly souls.  We have the sad face like "my date cancelled" or "just swallowed something spunky".  There is the angry face that is fine for a provider who just found out the donation was short or a hobbyist who fell victim to B&S.  The bashful face is for.....well I haven't quite narrowed that one down yet but apparently it's good for something.  OH YEA it's for the dumb newbie questions.....shit....I'm a newbie.  And last but not least the I'm sick to my tummy face or is it I got kicked in the head by a donkey face?  I really don't know but none of them are really suitable for sarcasm.

So check this out. I was thinking a red smiley with devil horns? or possible one with a gag ball throw in a gimp mask for effect.  

Open to suggestions as long as it's round has two eyes and a mouth.

Your friend,

BM Justice

I agree. I use allot of sarcasm, and none of the faces fit. I would not feel my sarcasm fits with devil horns or gag balls, though. Probably a face with a smirk would be the closest, but it's a little too Dick Cheney, and I don't identify my humor as being anything that stand beside the likes of Darth Vadar. Perhaps a face with just a slight curve in the smile and eyes looking down or staight ahead, that represents something closer to British humor. Thanks.

See! My point exactly. I was only being sarcastic about my recommendations.  

What is needed really is like a smiley with deer in the headlighs look. You know, just a blank stare with the mouth slightly open, mabye even drooling on itself.  

Or just keep it simple, an straight lipped or smirkish smiley with a raised eyebrow.

Ya but, what does it mean? It looks to me like a very naughty proposition smiley face.

but maybe too dismissive, "Well, there you go again!" ala Ronald Reagan.
