Please could we have a "Pom bear, anyone?" smiley?

It would be used on awkward or angry threads in an attempt to diffuse the situation.

Please please pretty please with a glacé cherry on top mnhq!!

Actually, what would be ideal would be a 'Pom Bear Anyone?' emoticon for diffusing awkward moments/ugly bun fights (see scenario 1) and a cuckoo clock or bottle of turps emoticon to imply bonkers posting.

But perhaps the fame is all going to my head and I am getting greedy.

Or not.

I think I may demand my own personal MN branded 3 bedroom trailer, complete with plasma screen sized internet permanently linked to MN, a fridge full of nice ham and no less than 10 crystal bowls which must be filled with Pom Bears which have to be replaced every hour.

Backs the Pombear emoticon campaign

Hee! look at meeeeee!

We can really milk this, you know.

PomBears should pay MN for the advertising...

Humph. I maintain that the notion of a limited edition PomBear is entirely feasible (I may have had too many Martinis though)

I just thought maybe any objections to an ever-growing list of smileys might be overridden if we just had it for a while.

Please? Funnily enough, I was chuckling at Pom Bears yesterday in Asda, thinking how funny they were! Guaranteed to raise a smile!

savoycabbage · 13/11/2010 00:56

Come on, give us a Pombear. We never got the penguin one.

JarethThePomBearKing · 13/11/2010 00:49

[scowl] at whoever suggested [pombear] should just be a Christmas emoticon.

WildPansy · 13/11/2010 00:47

Or failing that I'll settle for a [turps] emoticon.

YeahBut · 13/11/2010 00:43

Yes to Pom emoticon!
Bear face with [pom] or [moretea]

WildPansy · 13/11/2010 00:42

Signing here for the PomBear emoticon. That thread made my sides hurt even before the return invitation.

TheNoodlesIncident · 13/11/2010 00:40

A PomBear is for keeps, not just for Christmas

I hadn't heard of PomBears before and imagined something sweet like Percy Pig. Now I find it's more like an Organix product. Not disappointing though... we need PomBear emoticon, please!

CakeandRoses · 12/11/2010 23:42

ah but pombearmartini - pombears and biscuits have opposite powers

CakeandRoses · 12/11/2010 23:41

Crowns SPB and slightlyjaded.

justine it just needs to be a bears face with [bear-shaped snack anyone?] as the typing thingy

PomBearMartini · 12/11/2010 23:36

MNHQ, how about making it a special limited-edition Christmas emoticon? You need not let us keep it forever, it's just capturing the Pom zeitgeist. Maybe swap it for the biscuit for a while, and then there is no risk of cluttering things up with too many smiley options.

PomBearMartini · 12/11/2010 23:23

The PomBear Martini is all the rage amongst the glitterati this festive season.

Mostly vodka, a whisper of vermouth and several PomBears ... perched on a decorative skewer thingy so they don't get soggy.
