[deadpan]

MN needs this smiley.

I think many of us have a deep need for this smiley. It could, quite honestly, change our MN lives [deadpan]

A [sarcastic] one would be v useful too.

I am so with you Slub - I hate the new wine and mug ones.....I really only use grin and hmm. Hmm is more than sceptical when I use it, it is downright heavy sarcasm :)
Loving that image of the petrol station wine glass! and I hate the confused one ....

I don't use any of them but I would like a bedpan

No - PLEASE stop with the emoticons now

You are missing the point Acanths. Most of the existing ones can be binned.

We need less twee ones and more useful ones.

Like [deadpan]

I am going to litter the boards with [deadpan] till I wear you all down.

Hully - you know you want to use them. You tease your fingers daily I expect. Typing them slowly before hitting delete.

Yes but they

WON'T be binned will they. We are stuck with the buggers.

I bet you wish we had an [oops] emoticon then didn't you [deadpan]

. .

That is quite deadpan.

It's gone wonky

I think you have captured [bemused] there hullster

I am peering at the screen, because it looks like it has a slight smile.

The mona lisa of the emoticon world [awe]

..

Rueful

^^
..

O

Aghast

Apart from which is the best thing in the world I'm not mad keen on most of them. I particularly hate [ wink ] it makes me cringe. Who the fuck winks in real life? and the coloured ones are too gaudy. and I'm far too middle class to ever have a [ brew ] but I mighthave had a [mug]

The eyes closer together change it's whole look. It is no longer smiling. Yes, more [rueful] or [pensive]

Lubricious

Isn't [ deadpan ] something like the absence of any expression?

So couldn't you just use:

?

Or

(ie nothing at all, in case that wasn't clear)
