Can we get some new smilies please?

[goclark]

Smilies are neat but we need some new ones.

Seems like the first nine or ten don't get much use.

The patriot is nice and I really love the bounce.

With the election season blooming, we need more ways to express ourselves. :bounce:

Also, make the names easy to remember so we can just type in the word.

Thanks!

Can we take a "Smilie" vote?

[goclark]

1. Pretty please some new smilies

If you agree DU, please kick

[immoderate]

3. Yep -- it would be nice.

There are a bunch at the end that I never see used either.

--IMM

[Sanity Claws]

2. Yes, more smilies please.

Why don't we suggest some?
My idea: a smilie with an arrow hitting a bullseye -- nice way to let someone know that they made a good point, hit something right on.

Also, a roller skating, roller blading, or ice skating smilie. Why? Cause I like to skate. ;)

[CJCRANE]

5. Bullseye

good one.

And/or a hammer hitting a nail on the head.

And/or a BINGO! icon.

[goclark]

10. Hammer on head is excellent! What could we do for a Chimp sign?

Could we have a little stupid looking Chimp?

I hate writing out his name all day long --- could the way we type it in be :c:? That would be a lot easier

[Buns_of_Fire]

33. boosh* deserves something that captures his essence...

You know, something like...

[bobbolink]

44. That's really disgusting.

And so damned on target.

:hi:

[goclark]

77. I still want a stupid looking Chimp with his face on it

I'm tired of typing a * for his name.

That gives him too much credit.

[bobbolink]

80. I have one on a pin that says "Chimpeach". ^_^

Seen on a pin in Abiquu, New Mexico:

"Impeach Bush, Torture Cheney"

:rofl:

[goclark]

9. Bullseye would be perfect! Sometimes I want a BINGO

smilie too.
Thanks!

[SoCalDem]

31. You can use any of my collection you like

http://socaldem.smugmug.com/gallery/1214313

[goclark]

34. Thanks, do I just right click and save them to my clip organizer?

Then do I paste them into my message?

[SoCalDem]

39. You will have to save them in a photobucket thingie or you can just copy and use them

if you don't have an online storage place :) ( I have a bunch of bandwidth ) I have 1PB of space ..whatever the hell that is :)

[MiniMe]

73. I can see this one being put to a lot of use

[goclark]

76. That is so funny! nt

[malaise]

88. Those are great n/t

[stubtoe]

4. How about a "Happy Dance" smilie?

The 'woo hoo' one is close but not exactly spot-on for happy dances.

[mcscajun]

32. It's a bit on the large side, but here's "Happy Dance" for ya'

[me b zola]

37. lol

That smiley looks like a cross between frosty the snowman & the kool-aide man. :dunce:

[mcscajun]

52. Well, for something less scary...

here's a Grateful Dead icon, the dancing bear, doin' his own thing...

[me b zola]

55. Love it!

[stubtoe]

49. Why thanks! That's a good one.

That's very sweet of you.

[CabalPowered]

6. I'm not sure but

I read earlier in the week that Skinner and crew are working on a massive update for the site. It might be possible there are new smilies with the roll-out.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2011842#2011900

:shrug:

*edit: add link

[goclark]

11. Hello -- Skinner where are you? What about having the next $$

drive be focused on the smilies?

We could pick our favorite new ones when we donate. :bounce:

Oh yes, and as much as I like the bounce, we don't need too many that bounce up and down because then it's hard to read the message.

We do need, IMO, a bigger hug so we can see what they are doing.
Love the candle idea and a nice heart.

We don't use the toilet much I don't think but I like the idea of some kind of way to say the same statement.

[earth mom]

42. Good idea. I would donate if I got to pick the smilie I wanted.

:evilgrin:

[emmadoggy]

7. I like many of the smilies we have and use them quite a bit, but

I'm all for a bigger selection. I'd like a praying/begging type of smilie, a "bowing down in praise" type of smilie, a few that can be used for those somber posts when someone is very sick or has passed away, such as a candle or something. Oh, there's lots more out there too.

Yes, more smilies please. :begging:

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

8. I would love a peace symbol. And a V symbol.

Those would be fun!

[bobbolink]

45. I'll second the peace symbol.

Who knows, maybe it would catch on.

:hi:

[Cameron27]

12. I'd love more smilies.

I don't use them that much, but a wider variety would be great.

[Richard Steele]

13. "With the election season blooming, we need more ways to express ourselves"

[goclark]

26. Like them all but soap box is my favorite nt

[MADem]

58. Jesus I am blind. Is that a vibrator on a soapbox? Peeing, etc??? NT

[Richard Steele]

66. a-yup. nm

[MADem]

72. Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

I thought it mighta been a banana with very good posture!!!!

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

85. If we're talking "election", what better metaphor is there than a DILDO on a soap box?

Ben Franklin's ghost is TOTALLY kicking itself in the ass
for never thinking of that one! He could have sold an extra
ten thousand copies of "Poor Richard's Almanac" with a toon
like that.

Of course, the ANIMATION could have got him burned for witchcraft,
so it's probably all for the best that he didn't invent it.

Woulda been pretty COOL, though. :7

[SaveOurDemocracy]

14. Yes, please ... more smilies :o)

:hi:

[stimbox]

15. new smilies would be cool.

:bounce:

[Sparkly]

16. I'd love a dramatic fainting one, and a bowing one....

Such as....

[Breeze54]

17. Here ya go!

dramatic fainting
.

bowing




:P

[tammywammy]

21. I like those

I'm stealing them for my photobucket account. :)

[Breeze54]

23. Here's some more and no need to steal! They're free!

http://smileyjungle.com

http://bestsmileys.com

Enjoy!! ;)

[tammywammy]

25. sweeeet

Thanks!

[Sparkly]

24. Love it!

I remember seeing one -- maybe the girly one with the blue bow -- and she puts the back of her hand to her forehead and swoons into a faint. That's the one I really want.

[Breeze54]

29. Found it!

[goclark]

38. Click it and it moves - love it nt

[Sparkly]

60. That's IT!!!!

Thank you!!!! :yourock:

It's my favorite!! :bounce:

[Contrary1]

18. My nomination:

<@[/font>img]

[goclark]

27. Yea for Us now let's convince Skinner!

:hi: Skinner

Do you hear us?

[meow2u3]

19. Reality bites

[tammywammy]

20. I like this one

for taser threads

[meow2u3]

22. Here are some of my nominations

My lips are sealed

I'm so bored

Pushing the panic button

[jgraz]

28. K&R for new smileys

[WillyT]

30. I Want The :fuckyou: Smilie Back... Ah, The Good Old Days, LOL !!!

:evilgrin:

[Arugula Latte]

35. I'd like a rimshot smilie

when someone throws out a good one-liner joke

[Coexist]

36. nuthin' but net.

[Breeze54]

41. Here you go! ~~ Tada!!

Rimshot



I found another one!

[Arugula Latte]

46. That's great! Thanks.

Skinner/Elad et all should put 'em on DU for our convenience.

[applegrove]

40. Yes Please...more smilies. Here are some suggestions:

[goclark]

48. love those boxers!

[applegrove]

51. It is called girlfight.

[bobbolink]

43. How 'bout a HUGE spoon for those who only seem to come to DU to stir things up?

I can think of a couple who would get a lot of spoons...

:)

[SoCalDem]

50. here's a spoon for ya

[goclark]

78. That is good for the Freepers that visit nt

[bobbolink]

82. Sadly, they aren't the only ones who come only to stir things up... maybe not even the majority.

:(

[goclark]

84. You are so right ~ we really need that spoon nt

[bobbolink]

81. Hah! Chasing the spoon...

:thumbsup:

[goclark]

53. That is a good one! nt

[zabet]

47. Some emoticons....

[goclark]

54. The fan and the "donkey" are really cool

ROTFL

[MADem]

59. Would that be "beating a dead horse?" nt

[backscatter712]

89. Speaking of horses,

maybe we should get a smiley waking up with a dead horse's head, like in the Godfather...

It would help us explain some of the inexplicable behavior from folks like Pelosi.

[NanceGreggs]

56. Just as a practical, time-saving matter ...

I'd love to have a smiley that means "kicked and recommended" ...

Being as we all type that phrase a zillion times - how about a one-stroke smiley that says just that?

(Am I the LAZIEST person you've ever known, or what?)

[Booster]

62. Nope, you're the smartest.

[NanceGreggs]

63. I'm glad you recognize my genius ...

(... which is too often mistaken for abject laziness - especially by me.)

[goclark]

64. K and R would be awesome -- how could we put it in the Subject line

And, sometimes we just want to K and other times R and sometimes k and r.

This is so creative, let's hope they hear us and can help make DU put on a "Smilie Face."

[Control-Z]

65. But, but, but...

you can't put a smiley in the subject line.

[NanceGreggs]

69. Who says it has to be in the subject line?

You could open the 'reply' box and add your K&R smiley alone, or put it to the end of your comments.

[Control-Z]

70. Oops.

I was thinking about bypassing the typing altogether.

'(Am I the LAZIEST person you've ever known, or what?)'

No. Apparently I'm the one holding that honor tonight.:blush:

[goclark]

71. We are on the same wave length

I don't even want to take the time to click into anything.

I like the ability to just make a : and a ) and get a :)
with a yellow face.

I just type KR in the subject line now
but it would be nice to have a Super Kick sign for an extra special kick. :)

[NanceGreggs]

79. If we had a K&R smiley ...

... I would have just used it on your post!

:rofl:

[MADem]

57. I like :rofl: myself...but an "I fart in your general direction" one might be fun, too. NT

[Lucinda]

61. Here are some that DU is welcome to grab

http://www.abcwebworx.com/smilies/

They are sorted by catagories.

[Swamp Rat]

67. Yes, PLEASE, more smilies!

[krispos42]

68. We need these:

[Drum]

74. One of my faves...

[goclark]

86. And let's not forget, the winner should be the Chimp "ugly"

We really need that one.

In fact, the winner of the Chimp smilie should get a star in the next donation cycle.

Skinner ~ are you listening? :bounce:

[philosophie_en_rose]

75. I vote for "oh no not this shit again" and "unlaughing my ass back on."

:bounce:

[krispos42]

83. Oh, and this one , too!

[lonestarnot]

87. Too late to recommend. Kicker though.
