Joy dot: a snuggle with the world's most cuddly border collie last night

The face on the purple guy doesn't look like he's calling anyone a loser to me - he looks more confused or unhappy than mean.

The finger drumming one seems impatient to me. ("Any day now")

I think we just need to assume that we aren't trying to insult each other with smileys. I don't usually use them, but I can't resist right now
Olives! Blue cheese!
Sorry, I was just looking at them and it expressed the way I feel about those 2 foods.

: Different smileys can mean different
: things to different people.

: I actually see to be saying
: "Whew!", as the guy
: wipes the sweat off his brow.

: And just looks to me like
: someone resting his chin on his
: one hand, while thumping the
: fingers of his other hand on the
: table, showing that he is confused
: or stumped.

: "Loser" and "the
: finger" really never occurred
: to me, LOL.

: But I guess it's all about what we
: see in things.
: That's why they do Rorcharsch
: tests.........different people see
: different things.

: Bottom line, these little critters
: are there for us to have fun,
: and I really think they add 'color'
: and 'spice' to our posts
