Something inside me died the day they introduced that bear. I've lost a little bit of respect for MNHQ.

Of course it's within their power to fix it by giving up the aforementioned smilies.

I don't like this chap either: Sad

You can't express sadness with a hatless smurf fgs. That's why we have words.

VinegarTits · 15/02/2011 11:35

[evil]

see?

made me lol in RL

The bear?

ShirleyKnot · 15/02/2011 11:38

haha

Confused is shit and all. but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Hmm and often wish I had one of them everywhere else on the internet and in RL. I might get a big one drawn on cardboard and keep in in my bag, and then when a lady in the Post Office is close enough for me to smell her shampoo I can TA DA! Hmm face

BeribbonedGibbon · 15/02/2011 11:38

VT look me in the cyber eye and tell me you would not use [deadpan]

ShirleyKnot · 15/02/2011 11:40

I like [deadpan] and I like [sarcastic]

ShowOfHands · 15/02/2011 11:40
Bear

Bastard.

I'm going to put a fish hook in my eyebrow and attach it to a piece of string for rl Hmm effect.

BeribbonedGibbon · 15/02/2011 11:41

what is the bear for?

How have I not seen the bear in all these years?

VinegarTits · 15/02/2011 11:42

what would i use deadpan for gib? give me an example? it sounds ominous though

OP posts:
ShowOfHands · 15/02/2011 11:42

It's a pombear. It's neither use nor ornament.

ShowOfHands · 15/02/2011 11:43

Oh shit, I've had unprotected sex, have put on 3 stones and can feel something squirming in my stomach. Am I pg?

Nah, it's wind. [deadpan]

Although, [nonchalant] or [pofaced] would be better.

ShirleyKnot · 15/02/2011 11:44

I think it meant to be used when someone is being mad at a dinner party. Which kind of dilutes it's use quite a lot.

I reckon [deadpan] would be like:

Oh I agree that YANBU to have screamed at your MIL when she offered to give you that diamon bracelet [deadpan]

VinegarTits · 15/02/2011 11:44

ok yes deadpan would be good, like black humor you mean? i like that

the Hmm is a very sarcastic looking smily, its my fav

I need a deadpan smiley. I once upset a pregnant woman who was panicking on here that she could see the veins in her breasts and they looked quite blue. I quite earnestly told her she had 'bluitis' and she rushed off in a panic to google.

[deadpan] would have prevented that perhaps. Or I could stop taking the piss quite so much. She was sweet. It was v mean.

BeribbonedGibbon · 15/02/2011 11:48

Trying to think of a good example and really I would need a [deadpan/sarcastic] one as opposed to just [deadpan]

I'm blowing my pitch here aren't I?

I would probably use it most in response to a twatty poster 'No really, what you said makes perfet sense [deadpan/sarcastic]'

namechange100 · 15/02/2011 11:48

I google goatse straightaway yikes! Shock

BeribbonedGibbon · 15/02/2011 11:48

arf @ SoH

BeribbonedGibbon · 15/02/2011 11:49

yes exactly VT, dry/black humour.

we need that smiley on MN

ShowOfHands · 15/02/2011 11:50

Oh God my MIL wanted to hold my 1yr old baby. I've told her to wait a bit longer. When I wasn't looking she stroked his cheek. The bitch. I'm devastated.

What did the police say? [deadpan]

nickelbabe · 15/02/2011 11:50

is deadpan like :| ?

I like the Bear

BeribbonedGibbon · 15/02/2011 11:50

SoH you are on top form today

ShirleyKnot · 15/02/2011 11:51

I am reading a thread at the moment and have never wanted a [deadpan] face so much ever (since I heard of it. 30 minutes ago)
