I also like the Oops! Raoul posted a good barfing one a while back, we should use something like that.

I would remove:

:cussing:
:hitler:
:argue:

:really-mad2:
:good-shot:
:smoke-pot:
:cussing:
:headbanger:

This is my favorite but I don't often have a chance to use it:
:geezer:

The angry ones become self-fulfilling prophecy. You post an angry smilie and then you work yourself up into anger. Same with the pothead smiley.

The main one I like is the guy who looks like he's innocently whistling, like "I didn't just say that, did I?" You can also use it for an "Oh-ka-a-a-y-y-y" effect when someone says something weird.

A blushing smiley would be helpful. A smiley rubbing its hands with fiendish delight. I'll find some others but I have an appointment at the moment.

Hey Raoul, I thought you didn't like the dancing banana?

By the way, I'd also remove these following smilies:

:cussing:
:hitler:
:light-saber:

The cussing one is not needed in my opinion, nor is the light saber one. The only reason I would remove the "hitler" one is because you never know when some troublemaker one day might apply it to another member, which wouldn't be charitable.

My favorite ones are as follows:

:geezer:

:cool:
:smash-pc:

Oh my favorite, I love smilies!

There are some really cool big scary monsters that walk, the great big round ones of various races, angels, flowers, I love them all. If I ever became smart enough to post real pictures I could give up on smilies.

Here are the ones I don't care too much for:
:smash-pc: :pop: :sad: :stare: :sad: :wink: :judge: :soapbox: :headbanger: :bob-marley:

I only use this guy :ape: out of desperation. I hate this one :headbanger: :good-shot:

many times I should have used this instead :cussing:

xxxooo

That's right, I don't like the dancing banana.

I dont think there is anything wrong with the current selection of smilies, however the Irish ones are getting outdated rather quickly. :wink:
