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

It looks like big bird from Sesame Street

pofacedandproud · 05/11/2009 12:50

I suppose it is a more twee version of saying 'parp'

No one ever says 'parp' anymore, do they?

Bodeniiites · 05/11/2009 12:54

i thought it was an early snowman who looks a bit jaundiced

Strictly speaking instead of " I have nothing to say on this matter" it should mean "Answer the question which I haven't in fact asked you once, let alone 12 times" Which isn't so punchy.

Giant snort at disable cookies.

If Justine was thinking straight (instead of snorting lines of crystal meth tabs in a yurt) she would have asked a McVities to sponsor the biscuit. So we'd get an actual picture of a proper biscuit and not the Usbourne Books duck. I'd really like it to be a bourbon placed in the vertical as we need the biscuit to say Up Yours.

True Swedes, I don't suppose it crops up much either - answer the question you don't know about before it hits the tabloids as a sure sign that you're not down wiv the mothers.

I always hated parp. So uncouth

Songbird · 05/11/2009 13:11

I don't get it. Please enlighten me if I've missed something. why a biscuit?!?!?

JustineMumsnet · 05/11/2009 13:46

Alright alright women, we'll try a few more options and you can see which you like best

Deadworm · 05/11/2009 13:52

Well, that remark really scoffs takes the biscuit.

paisleyleaf · 05/11/2009 13:54

Love the 'disable cookies'
MN is biscuit mad

VinegarTits it reminds me of Sesame Street as well. And biscuits.

For those reasons it gives me a nice warm happy feeling. Please don't take it away, Justine!

BiscuitFace · 05/11/2009 14:38

don't be so rude, i am sure you will learn to love me. anything is better than that fecking

DottyDot · 05/11/2009 14:39

I don't like it 'cos it doesn't fit in with the others control freak.

Unlike which I love and copy and paste onto e-mails at work on a regular basis...

CitizenPrecious · 05/11/2009 14:40

I like that one too BF.

Maybe it could be replaced with another Sesame Street stylee face. I suggest Bert.

Cammelia · 05/11/2009 14:41

Crumbs

JustineMumsnet · 05/11/2009 17:35

Can't one of you clever techy types make us one that fits with the others, pretty please? BigTech's far too busy breaking things to focus.

BecauseImWorthIt · 05/11/2009 18:29

I like it too. It makes me think happy thoughts.

Biobytes · 05/11/2009 18:31

I would like all of them to be as nice as the biscuit one. Now the face expressions in the current ones would be impossible to replicate...

MaureenMLove · 05/11/2009 18:32

Oh, it's lovely!

I might just post it on every single thread I look at, just to let people know I'm watching but have nothing to say!

It's cute!

Songbird · 05/11/2009 23:16

No-one's explained ..... whay a biscuit?

Songbird · 05/11/2009 23:16

why, even!

Ivykaty44 · 05/11/2009 23:19

Its really only here for Children in Need and was wrong timing anyway as should have been brought out for red nose day but they forgot in their towers playing with their hairs.....

JesusChristOtterStar · 05/11/2009 23:20

cant see why it looks biscuity at all

hides

Dh said it was 'a bit gay' he isn't terribly well educated and that is obviously quite offensive and I did tell him so but I think that in fact he means its a bit umm, fluffy. On another forum there was an animated emoticon that rolled it's eyes, I liked that a lot.
