I’ve added some new emoticons for the SPians. I realise many of you have been smiley-impaired in the past, so this should make things easier.
All you need to do is put the word for the emoticon between two colons. Here is a list of words you can use. I was going to post the smiley beside each word, but I thought I’d let you discover what they are on your own:
arrow
grin
huh
cool
cry
shock
evil
ex
idea
lol
grr
mrgreen
neutral
question
tongue
blush
roll
frown
smile
o
twisted
wink
angel
birthday
bunnyluv
cheers
clap
dance
drink
fish
ninja
nono
pat
peep
poke
princess
run
thud
smite
villagers
violin
whip
whisper
woohoo
wall
grnalien
mask
assim
aquarius
badcomp
badpc
batman
belly
finger
bomb
borg
bounce
butt
chomp
coffee
caffeine
gemini
ghosts
alien
gun
joydance
harp
headbang
hellokit
jester
kitty
libra
lightsab
cyclops
pancake
party
pharoah
pirate
pisces
pumpkin
sagittus
shoot
smurf
snake
snog
snore
soapbox
sob
spam
spider
tinker
toilet
vomit
wave
zzzz
And don’t forget. Between two colons, with no spaces. You’d think those instructions are easy, but I know there are a few of you who could conceivably mess them up.

Oh, now, that Aquarius one is just insulting!
Its telling that the borg is the first one R the P tried.
The gemini is just as bad:
It is telling that was the first I tried.
Just woke up from Percoset induced sleep.
I knew this would happen - one person would have to try them all at once.
You need
Mojo is making me milkshakes.
But don’t suck them through straws! Because then you get to
blood.
I will refrain! Other people can try them at their leisure.
Is he making them with his new blender? Mmmm… milkshakes. Now I want a milkshake.
Hey! Your Borg is more active than my Borg was.
But the most active Borg of all?
Björn Rune Borg. He won 5 Wimbledons in a row, you know. And 6 French Opens, 4 in a row.
You there?
Ah, there you are. Yes, Bjorn is indeed an active borg.
I’m here. I was actually reading up on Bjorn’s records. He kinda sucked in the US open, and didn’t even bother to play in the Australian Open.
We don’t have the new blender yet.
Hey! We need a blender emoticon.
I’m sorry to hear that for ole Bjorn
So how’s the mouth? Hows the drugs? When Johnny Bill had his mouth surgery, he used a straw just afterward. Yikes.
So don’t do that.
Hmmmm…. I’ll have to work on a blender emoticon.
When I had my wisdom teeth out, I used a straw. The dentist said “Drink a milkshake” but neglected to say, “What ever you do, don’t drink it with a straw.” Blood just poured from my mouth and into the milkshake.
Needless to say, I didn’t finish the milkshake.
This time, though, I’m much older and wiser. My mouth is swollen, but no blood waterfalls. I feel wiped out, but it doesn’t hurt that much, thanks to a regimen of Percoset, Ibuprofen, Percoset, Ibuprofen. I switch ‘em off every three hours.
Makes me sleepy, mostly. And a little dizzy.
Just in case it wasn’t clear, had my wisdom teeth out when I was like 15.
This is different surgery. Inherited from my mother.
Well if the Dr says have a milkshake, then by all means, have a milkshake. Some of the best advice I’ve ever heard come from a doctor’s mouth.
Man, I gotta have a milkshake.
I hope you get ta feelin’ better soon!
Thank you! When that milkshake comes, then that’ll surely help.
Milkshake’s here!
I have to go enjoy it now.
I’ve been trying to be a good nurse, but thankfully that only involves minor tasks since Richard does lots of sleeping and sitting. Thank gods it wasn’t the girl, as she likes to be tended and waited on when sick. Richard and I hate that. We just want to be left alone. Convenient that we both feel the same way about that.
Love all the emoticons. So many to choose from!
That sagittarius is more than a little Bavarian isn’t it? What’s he holding, a bow and.. what, a flower? Hmmm…
Very biblical, this one…

Mojo, Bas and Shelley.

And hey! Mojo is no longer missing!
I know what you mean - I prefer to be left alone when I’m sick. Just stay the fuck away from me and let me suffer in silence.
I did make myself a milkshake though. I can be very weak and suggestible when it comes to ice cream.
As well you should be… ice cream is divine, thought it’s not my #1 favorite.
Thanks for the extra emoticons!

soon you will be telling me to
my posts are

ooohhhh, so many fun ones!

ok, i’m just playing now… and tired, so less coherent than usual…
better feed my
before i go to bed…
g’night, all!
A little emotifun before going to bed.
Weee! So many!
What’s a nekro?!
:nekro:
Ohw.. nukro; what’s a nukro?
A microwave… hehe
A nekro is what my ex-girlfriend Leigh once accused me of being. One day she walked up to a group of people, among whom R the P was sitting, and told them her ex girlfriend was a violent, brutal woman who dug up graves in the middle of the night. R the P said, “Hey, I gotta meet her!”, and not long afterward, he did.
:blendro:!
I am still searching for the illusive blender emoticon!
We definitely do need a :nekro: now!
Happy Sunday my brutaly violent midnight grave updigger!
I meant ‘elusive’ of course, but its still early. And now for the good news!
I found a blender emoticon!
Finally i got the Pan image!
Yep, I feel SP is now complete. We could have had a billion emoticons, but if there were no blender, it just wouldn’t have been right.
The key word is blender, of course.
There are two pan images. One with a syphilitic looking Aphrodite, and the other with a boy who has a large flute.
Yeah, I know that wasn’t a flute. So sue me.
Right now, I’ve got Bacchus, which could mean I’m going to get drunk today, but more likely just means I’m going to eat grape jelly.
In fact, I am, right now, eating grape jelly. On a biscuit. An american biscuit, that is.
Panflute emoticons are hard to come by i guess
I had my Bacchus night yesterday, but with a lot of
so that’s all evaporated.
Grape jelly biscuit? Mmm!
Ha, ha! Did you make that?!
Time to run. Gotta feed some new Xabec, P.A.L., Cisfinitum and Dtxenioutha to the parents! Although the last one they already know; just found it was published twice with different titles and i already had it…
What the
happened to Noumenal?
It looks like a generic site. Gone is the beautiful background.
As Onslow would say, “Ah,
!”
Well, actually, he would just say, “Ah, nice!”
I can’t believe I didn’t see this one before. Although, Che says they’ve had no clouds bad or otherwise for some time (except the other day when it rained.)
Hey, I made the ‘badcloud’ emoticon just for you.
I’ve got no clue what happened to Noumenal. Thats pretty weird actually. It looks like someone got hold of my theme-switcher and lobbed a generic theme up there. But there’s no one who has access to my back end.
I changed it back. We’ll just have to see if it happens again.
Yay for
!
Well, speak of the devil, there is a news item about our second-favorite borg:
http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/news?slug=ap-borg-dogbite&prov=ap&type=lgns
I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. He does rush in doesn’t he?
Had to try it…
Hahaha… I love the badger emoticon, though I can’t think of a single instance when we might need one.
And the stargate one is for me. Since I do love Stargate: Atlantis.
But
kicks ass…
get a life, Richard!
Che! How dare you say get a life?
I mean. I don’t actually have one at the moment. Still recovering from this stupid mouth slicing the dentist did.
He was, however, extremely cute, so that made it almost okay!
I just have to try out these emoticons. They’s fun.
And I love the headline “Dog Bites Borg!”
Dog

Well join the no-life havin’ club then, R the P. I’m a no-lifetime member.
A club no one wants to join! We’ll have it all to ourselves.
from butt pirate to snake snogging, you can find what you want on SP
Yeah, kinda like our Kung Po chicken, that we’d order so hot, no one else would eat it. It nearly killed us… but it was ALL OURS.
I guess you’re the butt pirate, and I’m the snake-snogger. I’ve been known to snog a snake or two in me no-lifetime.
It’s too bad the zodiac ones look like they are from some Bavarian child’s coloring book!
Yeah, they are kinda weird. Note that I only put the SPians’ zodiac signs on here. Fuck everybody else.
I mean, mine looks like the Cool Aid Man, except he’s no longer red!
Oh yeah!
And poor K (of K and L). She’d eat our hot spicy food and tears would streak down her face.
And I’m not allowed spicy food until my mouth heals.
Bugger.
I did notice you only put in the SPians.
I mean who gives a crap about Cancer?
Its okay, I’ll eat plenty of spicy food to make up for your loss. I’m good that way.
Cancerians suck. Especially the ones I’ve been married to.
I’m on a “soft diet” What the hell is a soft diet? Doughnuts can be pretty darn soft!
Do you ever watch “Battlestar Galactica?” The new one, not the 70s camp-o-rama. Mojo said whenever he thinks of your ex-husband, he pictures him like Gaius Baltar! I thought that was hilarious.
Sounds like a perfectly acceptable diet to me. And the word ‘diet’ can make you feel good about it.
“I’m on a diet. A soft diet.”
“Is that a doughnut?”
“Its allowed….”
I’ve been writing

I hope I can do this emoticon thing right!
I am emoticon retarded :guillotine:
Gaius Baltar?
Umm…. why?
And yeah, I love (the new) Battlestar Galactica.
:WTF: no guillotine?
:Chop:
I’m gonna have to print out the word list
Real Time Shelley!
That sounds like a really bad webporn. Not that you wouldn’t make a lovely webporn, Shelley, if you wanted to. I’m just talking about the title.
Oh, never mind. Digging a hole for myself.
And Che that is what I have been doing. I figgered doughnuts are pretty soft. And cupcakes. Definitely allowed on the diet.
Shelley’s been writing! Hooray!
I’ve been reading… mostly. And not even a good book, but its what I’ve been in the mood for.
I need to get my muse to kick my
Well, he said that Gaius is a bit of a coward, always looks after himself, and is overly educated, but charming in his own way.
oh yeah, there’s a guillotine.
I’m still pondering the Gaius Baltar connection, but then…
yeah I can kind of see it.
R the P, why did you let me marry Gaius Baltar?
Hope I didn’t offend Shelley with my webporn comment! I was just talking about my own title “Real Time Shelley!”
I’ve just never been commenting when Shelley commented before!
I think this is the first time that i’m actually here at the same time as you guys!
that I’m tired 

It sucks
love you all!
Well, it is more of the way he acted after he moved to Canada that he acted a bit like Gaius Baltar. He seemed perfectly kind before he moved over there. And Baltar is cute (without the Jesus hair and beard —
)
too R the P
webporn name!
okay really…

G’night Shelley! I should be going to bed, but the sci-fi channel has ani-monday now, and I’m gonna check it out to see how bad it sucks. Do I dare hope they’ll show something good?
I also have to finish posting the news. R the P sidetracked me. But hey, thats what SP is FOR!
Here’s hoping you get good amiMonday!
Glad to distract.
Well I’m declaring it officially okay to talk about ‘that which cannot be named’, which can now be named so it is now ‘that which can be named’.
Name away!
I think Gaius is kinda smarmy looking. I’m still laughing about Mojo’s association. Too funny.
Oh and
Space Above and Beyond - best sci-fi series ever.
It was more actions than looks that reminded Mojo.
The power of the name!
Then I shall say Alberta!
Whew! I had to disguise it as “Canada” before. So difficult.
You just thought Pi was kind when we were married, because he let me send you pictures of his penis.
But really, he was alright most of the time. Except when he was crying. Good gods I hated that. People who cry for no reason really annoy the fuck out of me.
Choke it up, emo boy!
Holy hell - this post is moving into first place for comments!
It is because these emoticons are so much fun!
Sorry was distracted by the possiblity of teaching this fall. One of the professors dropped out of general experimental — I don’t want to do that because it is rat labs and I haven’t prepared lessons for it, but they may move the social experimental prof into general and then I could teach social experimental!
And I love teaching college. Love it. And it would be extra dosh! Always a good thing.
Obviously, I got an email about an opening in the class schedule. I didn’t simply psychically know there was an opening.
Or did I?
This is connected to Noumenal after all.
And thank goodness it went back to its lovely spookiness. Didn’t like that generic thing at all.
Cool!
Uh… rat labs? Are you going to be mean to little rats? Or will you just psychoanalyse them?
No. In General experimental they run rats through mazes and things like that. BUt I haven’t taught that, and don’t really want to. I do like teaching social experimental, where you run people through mazes.
Oh, and to be kind to the rats afterwards, you have to put them in a :guillotine:. It is considered unkind to let them live. Imagine if they said the same for human subjects.
In other words, you’re being mean to the little rats! I mean… last time I checked, murder was mean.
Hey, do what you want, but don’t come
to me if they go all Willard on ya.
Hey! I don’t do the rat labs! I am rat murder free.
It is one of those ridiculous rules of psych. If you use a rat in the lab, you cannot let it loose in the subway because the subway rats will gang up on it and kill it. So you are supposed to do the killing first. Most psych departments re-use rats if they are teaching students, but if they are for an experiment, you are supposed to “humanely dispose” of them, which means a little rat guillotine.
The college where I teach, though, uses electric fish and pigeons more than rats.
If you can find a home for them, you are allowed to let them live for that.
But as I said, I’ve never taught that course!
But here’s a little tidbit for you. Lab rats are white because they used to be used for rat terrier fights or rat pit gambling in England and the US in the 1800s.
The would breed the rats white so you could more easily see the blood when the dogs tore them apart. The “sport” of rat pit fighting became illegal and the breeders were left with a surplus of white rats. Luckily, psych departments and behavioral research departments sprung up all over the world and needed an animal to conduct their research. Lo and behold, there was a ready made supply of animals.
Oh, and they also have short generations so it is easy to manipulate the genes.
Lovely, really.
I would take the little rats home and love them. They make nice pets. Well, the males do. The females are bitches after they give birth. Like females of many species. But I’ve had many a nice pet rat.
They also make good snakey food.
Well I don’t know if I can be bothered to stay up and watch the upteenth installment of the Ghost in the Shell series. It will require too much of my attention, and I think I’d rather read before bed.
Though its a promising start to animonday, and I may find myself watching on occasion.
So goodnight, sweet dreams, don’t let the bed-rats bite.
Good night!
Good dreams to all rats, even those who end up as
food or in the hands of an evil assistant professor!
Sorry, just shaking the bushes, boss.
Line from MST3K.
And someone is here at the door!
this thread has taught me so much about the history of SP. i’ve already forgotten all of it.
i did, however, have the presence of mind to write down
and
: so i could try them.
awww! well now i have to try a few (dozen) more.
i should be ashamed.
teh fuck.
