Title: New smilies - meaning?
Post by: Martinus on December 29, 2009, 03:19:11 AM
Ok, the new smilies are cool but some of them seem inscrutable to me. Help me find their meaning!

:shutup: - bacon face?
:homestar: - wtf?
<_< vs  :glare: ?

 :homestar: = I can't decide which smilie to use so I'll just use this one.

You do realize if you hover over them for a moment, a little popup script appears with their title, right?  Not to mention their shortcuts are titles as well.

Yeah but what the fuck is "homestar"? I mean this seems like some popculture reference, but I just don't get it.

I'm assuming the guy with the band aids on his mouth is attempting to prohibit himself from saying something he feels he shouldn't.

I don't much see the purpose for it on languish.

They each have their pros and cons I suppose.

With a zipper, you can easily get your tongue caught and I expect that would hurt as much as getting your foreskin stuck in one.

On the other hand, unless you're using glue that won't stick very well, ripping off the band aids may also bring with it some residual lip tissue and man, that REALLY hurts.

The intro page suggests  :homestar: = retard, but then I watched one of the shorts and am not sure.

It is odd. Maybe if this was 10 years ago a Homestar Runner could be amusing but...I didn't even know that thing was still going.

He's putting bacon in his mouth.  Can't you northern mouth breathers get anything fucking right?

I'd like one with a pickelhaube. I made one once upon a time, but alas it's gone along with my old harddrive.

It looks like two smilies stacked on top of each other.  :homestar:

It would be better if the helmet was darker.
