...although I couldn't find any Christmas/Holiday/Winter -y ones that I considered suitable. To be suitable, a smiley cannot be: - larger than 64x64 pixels in dimension
- larger than 25 KB in size
- glittery, flashy, or spastic
- something that you know in your heart of hearts has extremely limited use and/or that people will be sick of inside three days (and will blame ol' Virgil
 )
For reasons unknown *snicker*, Molly wanted a Bah Humbug smiley. I replaced the "No Gaga" emote with a big group hug one—the theory being that it will inspire community love with greater effectiveness. The remaining three (to complete the row of "medium" smileys) are console, deadhorse, and violin. "Console" I figured might be of use for all Venting Class and Mourning Class A and Mourning Class B EE threads. "Deadhorse" and "Violin" I suspect will find more usage on P&M. Don't get too attached to these last three smileys since I'm open to suggestions for seasonal smileys to replace them. I will accept any suggestion so long as it meets all the criteria listed above, and so long as Moon approves. Since it can be difficult to determine the dimensions and file size of an image, please post any suggestions here and I'll do that for you. Enjoy. consoleYeah, your teenage daughter just announced she likes Lady Gaga...  deadhorseYeah, PalmBeachPaul started another thread about black people...  violinYeah, your thread "The Many Meanings of Snatch" was deleted...  humbugYeah, it's Christmas at the Mouser homestead...  grouphugYeah, we're all in this together...  |

On a totally unrelated side note, I remind posters that you can hide any avatar by double-clicking on it. Just... wanted to mention that. For no particular reason.  |

To the best of my knowledge, Ms. Chocolate doesn't interject statements like "Even when it isn't about chocolate, it still really is. Chocolate is everywhere!" into the middle of a discussion on seasonal smileys.  But I'm not getting dragged into this again. I learned my lesson yesterday. My official response to this and all future Germanotta-related inquiries is "I like marmalade." Because I do like marmalade. And nobody shall fault me for it. You'll see an extra little icon next to the PM and e-mail icons under where the avatar would be. Click on that to get it back. |

I went to photobucket, copied the image code and inserted in the signature line. One of the reasons I already changed to my Christmas avatar is that it takes me forever to remember how to do the dang thing and I had some time to play with it.
ETA: Thanks for the info, Virgil and karma.

This one is so delightfully patronizing, I just love it. Virgil, if I knew you in real life, I'd give you some homemade grapefruit marmalade just for that.

I actually thought it was kind of cute. I guess patting a person's head in real life isn't the most socially accepted means of consoling someone, however.  |

Sorry to ruin it for you. But it's kind of like tousling someone's hair and calling them "champ."
Endearing with little towheaded boys... less so with grown-ups

The box of Chocolates smiley is used by a lot of people for birthday or get well threads or just to cheer someone up. Since you're accepting suggestions for Small Holiday Smiley's, here's a few more small ones for you to consider: Wreath:  Snowman:  Rudolph:  Candy Cane:  |

The Rudolph and/or Snowman, I suppose. The Wreath and Candycane are kind of "bland".

Why does everyone pick on me? Nobody bashes chocolate for loving chocolate. You know what? Before you came along, I thought Gaga was ok. Now I absolutely despise her, thanks to you. With fans like you, she doesn't need enemies. |

You know who's even better than Ms. Gaga? Snow leopards. They're great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, GREAT! Compared to them, you and everyone else on this board is nothing more than a steaming pile of mouse excrement. And that's not because you're loathsome, it's because compared to wonderful snow leopards, pretty much anything is about on par with mouse turd.
Be sure to watch the 7 reruns of a Snow Leopard Thanksgiving—each four hours long—on the major US networks this thanksgiving. And then watch them all again on cable when the series goes into syndication!
Yes, Snow Leopards are so wonderful and glorious, they defy description. Truly. You aren't fit to clean the crumblies out from between their furry little toes. In fact, you're using up their oxygen as we speak. Breathe less.
In closing, I demand that you acknowledge the... *gackk* wonderfulness... of snow leopards. I DEMAND IT!!! I will continue to demand it until all you pathetic beings rightfully worship them as they are due.
(Virgil, you've truly sold your soul this time. But this will bear fruit, I promise you. D2SL!!)

Lol! Keep it up Virgil; make every post about snow leopards, and I will hate them, too.
It's like drinking way too much tequila....the mere mention of it after the fact induces projectile vomiting.

Keep on putting those disgusti-...  ... -ingly adorable photos up, people. Until we have Weltz puking when she sees th-- I mean... Weltz... pu-u- ... -uianoing? Pyanoing? Pianoing! Until we have Weltz pianoing—happily playing the piano because she's so happy to see 10,000 photos of their spot-ridden hides—we've got to keep the onslaught up. Wouldn't want her to hate their disgustingly "adorable" little guts now, would we?  |

Given the choice, I'd much rather be inundated with the evil Uncian images and references than the other more vile option.
