I was thinking the same, but change "missle" for "anvil". Anvils are classic.

Not bad. But, half the time, people don't realize they've said anything target-worthy until it's posted...

A question out of pure curiosity though...

Not that it matters that much, but there wouldn't happen to be copyright on any of those, would there?

I like the 1st anvil graemlin that NWM posted above.



Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

First, a thank-you to Rob for adding the newest one:

Now, on the business.

We all use the graemlin/emoticon/smileys. It's evident. Some more than others. Some, not at all (Animalman!). Still, I think it's time to make this system a bit more efficient. If it's going to take up space on the server, we need to have a list of ones that are truly, and inherently useful.

Here is my list of graemlins that are, in my opinion, quite pointless. They're rarely used (except in forthcoming posts in this thread, I expect) and taking up needed space.

To wit:


  • -- Come on. What, he's wearing sunglasses, so that makes it the "cool" one? Listen, either you're cool, or you're not...and using this graemlin isn't going to prove one way or the other. NOTED EXCEPTION: Wednesday is the only one "cool" enough to get away with using this at any legitimate point.

  • -- Haven't we already debunked this guy with the patented Elisa rip of " ;p " ? Is there really a need for this one? The answer is no. We don't.

  • -- Yeah, I know the tag word used for this is "sigh". But, does anyone read that from the expression? Does anyone care? Absolutely not. It's just the unloved bastard child of the far superior . Lose it.

  • -- Other than it being the one graemlin that closely resembles PJP, I find it unneccessary since we have a far more stern, and imposing statement of anger/irritation:

  • -- You eliminate THIS one, and you force Mopius to do more work, and/or stick with the square version. It's win-win, either way.

  • -- Oh it's a dancing green banana. That makes it sooo much more understandable as an emotional smiley than, say, the normal yellow dancing banana. Pointless.

  • -- And look...a devil version! Hilarious. No...no, wait....the word I meant to type was "redundant".

  • -- And, finally, the 80's rock-hands one. Why would ANYone want this around, when the less goofy is possible? Why?

  • -- Something akin to an old joke we all heard when we were three. It was funny and meaningful the first thirty seconds we heard it. After that....meh. Not needed.

  • -- I love you Uschi. Harley's current sig can attest to that. However, I would love a count on how many times this has actually been used. Four? Seven? None?

  • -- Why this one? Is it a precursor to ? If so, is it needed or even used?

  • -- WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THING???

  • -- Hey look, it's a graemlin that is supposed to signify "dizzy" or "confused". Hey look...no one uses it. Ever.

  • -- How long do I have to wait before the loop replays and the guy wipes his brow in relief again? Meanwhile, it's a generic face just staring at me. Kill it before it kills the rest of us. Really.


Now, admittedly, it's much easier to point out the flaws than the solution. Therefore, I challenge everyone to fix this.

I know you all visit other MBs. I know sometimes you see smileys that are cool, and would be useful here. So, my challenge is this:

    -Steal the fucker.

    -Post it here.

    -Convince Rob and everyone why we need it.


See? Easy as cake. Right off, I think we need:

1) A vomit emoticon

2) A flip-off/middle-finger emoticon

3) A "no shit" sarcasm emoticon

4) A "Cunt!" emoticon (After all he's given these boards, Nowhereman deserves to be able to express himself with a graemlin)


Can anyone think of others?

So, that's my case. That's gripe. My suggestions. And my challenge. And, since I'm just springing this out of the blue, I don't know if Rob would even concede to changing anything. But, it's worth of try...




I made a thread in the Off Topic foumr a year ago called Emoticons for the RKMBs and it has about 100 emoticons in it.....once again the Random Mods are wayyy behind.

who doesn't g-man hate?


And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.

Aw, sneaky, you know I love YOU. You're like the daughter I'm glad I never had.



and you are example enough that i'm glad i only get a stoned-out-of-his-mind phone call from my dad once every couple years.


And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.
