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.

Jareth - loving the £3.93 postage on pom bears, they can't weigh more than 25gGrin

JarethThePomBearKing · 12/11/2010 23:06

Is there anything you can't buy on Amazon?

DoodlingPomBear · 12/11/2010 23:06

I'm back......do you recognise me.

On a serious note, MNHQ please please give us a bear shaped emoticon! We could have red, green and blue ones!

I want a pom bear, am off to namechange.

NotShortImPomBearSized · 12/11/2010 23:01

ROFL!

Very fitting Grin

PomBearGrylls · 12/11/2010 23:00

Can't believe this one was free Grin

AandRMum · 12/11/2010 22:57

yes yes yes!

glitterati · 12/11/2010 22:21

can't find pom bears here in the US (12 months of withdrawal symptons) so an emoticon is the next best thing...er kind of...yes vote

PyramidofScotcheggs · 12/11/2010 21:57

PomBear is needed, and much better than the biscuit.
The biscuit is a Jammy Dodger. All cheap wheat and nasty jam.

Pombears are much better, and less jammy.

androbbob · 12/11/2010 21:52

Hurry up!! We need PomBear icons - will be getting some tomorrow now - red and green ones.

SheWillBeLoved · 12/11/2010 21:35

All worship the POMBEAR!

Pretty please MNHQ :) take back to dodgy biscuit if you must!

I've never had the C&O PomBear (does that warrant a slightly different emoticon, perhaps tinged slightly green??] am I missing anything?

NotShortImPomBearSized · 12/11/2010 21:17

And as for the winning flavour, definitely cheese & onion, every time.

NotShortImPomBearSized · 12/11/2010 21:15

Jareth & Rapunzel They're fab Grin

thatsnotmymonkey · 12/11/2010 21:11

Great thread, love it! I might host a slightlyjaded dinner party in your honour

Teaandcakeplease · 12/11/2010 21:08

Adding my name to the campaign. Please mumsnet?

JarethThePomBearKing · 12/11/2010 21:04

But I am KING of the PomBears

(Images in my head involving David Bowie, Tights, Pom Bears and glass BALLS)

Confused
UltimatePomBear · 12/11/2010 21:03

Not sure who the winning flavour would be, but surely the winner would be the last one standing when the cuckoo clock chimes?!
Grin

RapunzelLetDownYourPomBear · 12/11/2010 21:03

But we do need to establish correct use of [pombear emoticon]. As I see it there are three options:

  1. 'Pom Bear anyone?' To diffuse ugly bunfights or fill awkward silences, in the manner of 'more tea vicar?'
  1. To infer bonkers-ness in reference to particular postings, in the style of Biscuit but specifically to imply 'you are clearly bonkers'
  1. To support / give visual reference to
Hmm
PyramidofScotcheggs · 12/11/2010 20:57

But are you plain or cheese and onion flavoured Pom Bears?

I favour cheese and onion and would say they rule the plains.

What about a fight between the flavours?
Who would win?

JarethThePomBearKing · 12/11/2010 20:55

[applauds Rapunzel]

UltimatePomBear · 12/11/2010 20:55

Nay, I am the ULTIMATE POM BEAR!!! :-D

Pom Bear fights - the next MN trend?!

RapunzelLetDownYourPomBear · 12/11/2010 20:54

Damn! wanted Rapunzel Rapunzel but too many letters to have it twice.

JarethThePomBearKing · 12/11/2010 20:46

MUAAAHAHAHHAHAA

I will rule you all Grin
