Nominate your favorite "The Basics" smilies

[Crumb]

These are the 21 smilies that we have all seen many times. They sit there over on the right while we are writing our hearts out in our posts and tempt us to stick them in here and there to break up the rolling montonony of a long smilie free post.

It is time for us all to know just which of these all important smilies are our favorites. Nominate your favorite three here. Two nominations will get your smilie in the running to be "The Basics" champion. But don't worry about that, it's an honor just to be nominated.

What about :) the granddaddy of all smilies? He's so ubiquitous that he doesn't even have to be shown in 'the basics' smiley gallery. Does that mean he is excluded from this competition, or will he be eligible in a different category?

I hate being tortured by yawn smilies, though...

Uh yeah Shake, you need to prune one of your nominees.

Ah! Good news.

I must admit, I hardly ever look at the categories. I use the clever search thing (thanks for providing that feature) and I just type colon-close bracket when I want the ultimate basic smiley. :)
