Oh, how I loathe smileys.

Well, not smileys. Emoticons.

Well, not emoticons. Animated emoticons. Emoticon images. Those fucking things that, when you type in semicolon right parentheses, pop in instead, and become a big yellow smiley face when, (though it may come as a surprise), you really wanted semicolon right parentheses. Pretty fucking odd that you'd want that, considering that's only what you typed in, I mean, don't you want more, new and improved service and all that?. Crazy how sometimes people want to see what they type, not some stupid fucking animated jpg.

One of the few things that I hate about BBSs. I wish they'd at least ask about it, instead of just assuming that you want your lovely ASCII emoticon replaced with a little picture. AIM doesn't ask either, and do we want to be like AOL? Fuck no. AOL is like the devil, only not as cool. It's like Stan, the devil's retarded younger brother, with all the irritation and inconvenience, but none of the flair.

So don't be like Stan. Use real emoticons. It'll make you happier, and improve your sex life. No, really. =)
