Who invented these bloody things?

Some say he was Mexican

It's like driving down a road with courgettes all over the place.
Losing the sense of the posted text is like skidding on long green ones.

What's wrong with plain text?
Hey?
Hey?
It can be sexy - a fat paragraph of words of long syllables.

I rarely go beyond these.


I can see myself tempted to use the wanking wrist, though.

I have no idea how folk have the time to insert these moving things.

I just feel we shouldn't forget purity.

You've Been Warned!

Amigos, Chichos and Muchachos!

Senor Robusto is Right!

Stay away from the smileys....you can never go back!


NO...NOOOOOO! DON'T LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWER!!!!



Ahhhh, Shit! You Looked!



Names Perro, El Perro, and Smiley Abuse causes....well, just use caution!



Damn It, Juggler Boy!!! I told you to stay away from the smileys!

Me too Dave, although I was listening to an article the other day where an argument for text/speech (as in used by many young people on their 'phones) was put forward as a phonetic means of language aquisition. I'm not overly convinced myself

I was just going to post a row of smilies but when I looked at it and the thread title it didn't really elucidate how much I really love Robusto's posts.

Man, Road full of cougettes, that's poetic.

[Robusto]

I like the idea of the equivalent of smilies in Tom and Jerry sound effects.
Wonder if that exists?

(Shit. Guess who'll look! ).

[Deano]

I can happily restrict the number of smilies per post if people think it's useful.......

[monkey66]

Although I have been guilty of using smilies in the past I would be happy to see the number per post restricted.

Be good to see how some people communicate using just words.

[Robusto]

Zero tolerance is acceptable!
