I HATE the biscuit face

it's wrong

it's the wrong colour, and it's all squashed up, and it looks incongruous next to all the other, REAL emoticons

I agree, there's something not quite right about it...

BecauseImWorthIt · 05/11/2009 12:16

Try thinking about it as a duck instead ...

pofacedandproud · 05/11/2009 12:16

I don't like it either. But then I hate festive hats on emoticons too...

Itsjustafleshwound · 05/11/2009 12:17

Go to Tools, then Internet Options, then Security, and select 'disable cookies.'

I thought it was meant to be some sort of clown or red nose type thingy.

Surely a face with nothing more to say would have x for a mouth?

pofacedandproud · 05/11/2009 12:18

It also annoys me as it reminds me of newspapers summing up our thing with Gordon Brown as 'what is your favourite bloody biscuit'

lucykate · 05/11/2009 12:19

what's the red bit meant to be?, a nose or is it a jammie dondger?

morningpaper · 05/11/2009 12:20

snort @ "disable cookies"

pofacedandproud · 05/11/2009 12:20

Worm! You broke through your internet security peramater! Good to see you. Is your computer now going to self destruct?

LadyOfTheFlowers · 05/11/2009 12:22

I also thought it was a bit pants.

Tis indeed a JD I think.

ShinyAndNew · 05/11/2009 12:22

I think it is cute Though I did think it had something to do rednose day??

Deadworm · 05/11/2009 12:22

Have bribed leechblock with

GetOrfMoiLand · 05/11/2009 12:22

lolol at 'disable cookies'.

shabbapinkfrog · 05/11/2009 12:23

I have it on good authority from my Grandson (aged 17 months) that it is a duck!!

He's sat on my knee, helping me Mumsnet and screaming 'wak wak' and pointing at it!!

Seeing as he has a Daffy Duck tshirt on it that says 'IM THE BOSS!' I am not arguing with him!

TigerFeet · 05/11/2009 12:25

it would be better without eyes

i do like it though, more the concept than the emoticon itself probably

"disable cookies"

pofacedandproud · 05/11/2009 12:26

missed 'disable cookies' Heh heh.

noddyholder · 05/11/2009 12:26

I didn't realise it was a biscuit thought it was for red nose day!

morningpaper · 05/11/2009 12:28

DITCH THE EYES

Boco · 05/11/2009 12:34

I think the idea of 'I have nothing more to say on the matter' is osolete on mumsnet, so surely it'll never get used

Boco · 05/11/2009 12:35

I meant obsolete. Or maybe I meant ocelot.

LilyBolero · 05/11/2009 12:35

It looks like a Comic relief red-nose wearing chick.

DandyDazzler · 05/11/2009 12:36

I thought it was for Red Nose Day too.

at disable cookies.

Like the idea of the biscuit emoticon, but not the exectuion. Agree it shouldn't have eyes. Could it have a black outline too please?
