Some smilie wishes

[JoeP]

I have wished for these smilie concepts in recent posts and not found any. Could be a search keyword missing ... or we could need some new ones.

:strange:

:choked: as in all choked up (emotionally not by a :choke: )
And why not :choking: as in the act of smilie A throttling smiling B. I haven't actually recognised the need for such a smilie but I'm sure it's been there subconciously.

[ManM]

And while we are at it, why not add something like...
:discomonkey:
:D

[livius drusus]

Good ideas, Joe. :steal:

ManM: :glare:

[ceptimus]

:drinkingbird:

[MisterIngo]

:drinkingbird:

It's on it's way.. :D Patience my friend...

[MisterIngo]

And why not :choking: as in the act of smilie A throttling smiling B. I haven't actually recognised the need for such a smilie but I'm sure it's been there subconciously.

I'll do the choking, only I've got a few more for the board in the making but I can guarantee you that I'll do it if you like...

I'm also going to do a drinkingbird smiley... :D

[livius drusus]

Isn't he just dreamy, folks? :melts:

[JoeP]

No hurry. End of the week will be fine. :hyper:

[MisterIngo]

Now: A question to boggle your mind...

How do you choke a smiley that hasn't got a neck?

Isn't he just dreamy, folks? :melts:

Makes you wonder why I'm still single, don't it?

[ManM]

Now: A question to boggle your mind...

How do you choke a smiley that hasn't got a neck?
Well, one smiley grabs the other at the bottom and squeezes. The victim deforms, the bottom squeezing into a cylinder while the top expands a bit, the eyes popping out. Then, the assaulting smiley shakes the victim, who's eyes shrink back down and become little X's. The assaulter then claps his hands together and bounces off, leaving the dead victim.

Or something like that. :D

[JoeP]

That would do!

[justaman]

:cough:
:nihilism:

[JoeP]

Justy, why not just use a blank space?
  :larrow: like this

[justaman]

I guess I coooould...if I wanted it to suck maybe. :irked:

[Sarpedon]

Is there a battleship smilie? or some similar, heavily armed, combative smilie?

and how does someone get a smilie from one forum to another, as I've seen some people do? is it just copy/paste, or is there some URL?

[livius drusus]

You need the URL to use between [img] tags. To get it, right click on the picture and click on "Copy image location" or click on "Properties" and copy the url in that window.

We don't have any battleships, but perhaps one of these will do.

:tank: :rif: :brawl: :guns: :hatsteal: :smack: :slap: :slapface: :assault: :twoguns: :gatlin: :lasergun: :xhairs: :bond: and of course:

:abitmuch:

[Sarpedon]

Hmm, I ask because I'm reading a book about WWI battleships, and am getting involved in an epic argument on II. What can be more intimidating than big 'ol battleships?

[livius drusus]

I see. Well, I know of no battleships. Perhaps Google image search will be able to help you.

[godfry n. glad]

:rightwingnut: :larrow: wrapped in US flag, of course.

[livius drusus]

8 characters, remember?

[Crumb]

:rwnut:

[godfry n. glad]

Or, as I suggested in the National Stereotype thread, :rwingnut:

I just wanted to make it clear what it was I was asking for. If any emoticonist has problems visualizing this, just have them read some of alphamale's posts.

[Ensign Steve]

Is :zombieglomp: broken? On my screen, the animation is leaving artifacts everywhere, so that by the end of the loop, there are two of each character. I was so confused at first.

[Ymir's blood]

Ensign Steve, they added more zombies for the sequel.

[godfry n. glad]

We need a "bury the hatchet" smiley. :bryhtcht:

Two smilies, each with hatchets, dig hole, throw hatchets in, fill in hole...maybe even shake hands, before walking away.

I have an immediate situation where I could use this.

[JoeP]

I have an immediate situation where I could use this.When you're done, can I dig up the hatchets?

[godfry n. glad]

I have an immediate situation where I could use this.When you're done, can I dig up the hatchets?

You've use for two more than the one you've embedded in your skull?

[JoeP]

What about my other skulls?

[godfry n. glad]

What about my other skulls?

Ah... A collector. I see. Well, it makes no never mind to me.

[Crumb]

Two smilies, each with hatchets, dig hole, throw hatchets in, fill in hole...maybe even shake hands, before walking away.
and then we need the alternate version that starts identicaly, but then only one smiley throws a hatchet in and the other one attacks him and throws his mutilated corpse in the hole and buries it.

[godfry n. glad]

I, of course, am still waiting for the kicking equus asine.

What with alphamale mouthing off all the time about ass-kicking, we need it now more than ever.

[Ensign Steve]

Seriously, is it just me? I've got another one. Notice how his hand is still in the air, even after he turns to leave. Weirdness.

[Ymir's blood]

What browser are you using?

There are several ways to set up an animated .gif. The easiest way is to have each frame be the complete picture with progressive changes between frames. Another way is to have frames consisting of only the object being changed between frames which are then placed over a background. As the animation progresses, one frame is suppposed to be removed and replaced with the next as the background stays the same.

When using Irfanview to look at images, I've had the same problem you describe. It seems as if the program doesn't like the way the .gif was coded and leaves the additional frames instead of removing them, resulting in the duplicated parts.

[Ensign Steve]

I am using Safari. I'm not having any problem with other animated gifs, or even most animated smilies. Just those two so far. *shrug* It's no biggie.

[Sarpedon]

Thanks a lot Mr Ingo. Last night I had a dream about an alien eating the back of my head thanks to you!

[livius drusus]

But did you get facehugged first? :facehuggerglomp:

[ceptimus]

In Internet Explorer, there is something funky going on with this guy's left ear (on our right).

:shudder:

I've not looked at it with other browsers yet.

[MisterIngo]

:drinkingbird:

I've started! :muahaha:

You're not wrong, ceptimus. When you've mentioned your other smilie problems, I don't get them but this one, I do. :chin:

[ceptimus]

:drinkingbird:

:hyper:

[justaman]

oo oo I think we completely need a :onetome: smiley where a self satisfied smiley chalks up a win to him. I need this a lot for whenever I'm talking with Crumb.

[Sweetie]

Oh, come on. You know you really want it for me to use. :yup:

[Sweetie]

:roflmao:

Jman, I've never seen this one before but it's so you! I'll use it against you, hehe.

:hahano:

[Sock Puppet]

Y'know what else we need? The Robot from Lost In Space, arms flailing wildly. There would be such wonderful word-balloon possibilities.

[JoeP]

[Sock Puppet]

That's a good start, but I believe that's the original Robot (which they borrowed from the leftover Forbidden Planet props). The latter-day Robot (from the show's talking-carrot period) was campier, IMO.

[JoeP]

You're right, sock.

[Sock Puppet]

That's the stuff. I gotta get me one of those.

[Sarpedon]

Is there a hitler smiley? Preferably with another smiley dragging him in, I want one to use on II for whenever someone drags Hitler into the discussion.

[Crumb]

:Cartler: :godwin:

[Sock Puppet]

So far, there's just this guy: :Cartler:

I still want a Mussolini, for those occasions when Godwinning isn't indicated.

[JoeP]

I need a :watering: smilie - std yellow guy watering garden, or pot plant. Depending on the artist, grass could grow, flowers could grow, triffids could grow and eat him; a Beanstalk(TM) could grow.

[Crumb]

:garden:

[livius drusus]

Well, we've got this guy :garden:. I made him back before my breakthrough, though, so maybe I can spruce him up.

ETA: :eskimo:, Crumbles.

[Crumb]

Crumb beat you to it, 54. :cointoss:

ETA: :huggle:

[JoeP]

:garden: is cute but doesn't turn up in a search for 'water'. If only there were a way to fix that.

[Crumb]

I don't think it can be done.

[viscousmemories]

I'll look in to a hack.

[livius drusus]

I :glare: at you all.

[Crumb]

Well since I am a rather unprolific smiley maker I will put some of my ideas out here for any smiliesmiths paying attention.

One was the previously mentioned act of arson on the :ff: logo. I tried my hand at this originally but was unable to make anything of it. (OK, so it was laziness. Sue me.) My original vision was a smiley that poors gasoline on :ff: and then throws a lit match on it.

Another I had an idead for was a 'manly hug'. Two gentleman smilies that however uncomfortablely manage to express there (purely nonsexual) love for one another with a pat on the back hug followed quickly by paranoid furtive glances and maybe some coughing.

Maybe a more talented arteest wants to take a crack at one.

The entire membership of the board, and all the slurp spiders and human guests, wonder* if you are not in fact uncomfortable and paranoid, not to mention coughing.

[Crumb]

huh? I didn't get that last bit. :susp2:

(Wasn't there a "gone over my head" smiley somewhere?)

[Sock Puppet]

:whoosh: <--- for when it's over your own head

or

:lost: <--- for pointing & laughing at same happening to someone else

I was sorta lost by that last bit, too.

[Crumb]

Why don't they come up when I search for 'head' or 'over'? :ffstare:

[Sock Puppet]

I got the second one on a search for 'head'. I think they both come up for 'lost'.

Of course, I already knew they were there to begin with, having been the one who asked for them.

[Crumb]

I knew they were there. I just couldn't find them.

[livius drusus]

Sorry, y'all. I have this problem with keywording: the arcane words come easy but the most basic ones totally escape me. Fixed now. :dopey:

[Crumb]

:woohoo:

[MonCapitan2002]

I have noticed that there have been no new smilie updates. Where are the new smilies? :(

[Sock Puppet]

We've got Simpsons smilies, and Tick smilies (I had no idea!); would it be possible to get a Hank Hill as well? I've got some more word-balloon ideas. :plotting:

[JoeP]

huh? I didn't get that last bit.Was I supposed to answer this? Just ignore the lyrics quotes. You know what slurp spiders are, don't you?

[godfry n. glad]

I was watching and commenting on the smiley championship polls and got sucked in by the Roman motif around here, thinking it'd be a great to have clickable thumbs up/thumbs down icons on our polls. Then, of course, that took my mind to the gladitorial competitions in ancient Rome....and I, of course, started looking for a gladiator smiley...

No go...

Is there one, trapped in arcane key words?

Or, is this forum lacking entirely in gladiator smilies? There should be at least the basic two: short sword with arm shield and trident and net.

What gives?

If we don't have then we need :glad8er1: and :glad8er2:

[Ensign Steve]

Don't you mean :glad8or1: and :glad8or2: ?

[godfry n. glad]

Don't you mean :glad8or1: and :glad8or2: ?

Actually, my first thought was :glad8her:, but I thought that hit a little close to home. That's where the "e" came from, anyway....

Now that I look at it again, I'd say that we could do with :glad8r1: and :glad8r2: and so on up to :glad8r99:.

[ms_ann_thrope]

Could someone make a Maneki Neko smilie? How about some pieces of sushi? Dancing sushi?

[godfry n. glad]

Okay... I'm gonna repeat this, 'cause I'm not sure it got through:

We need a little pooper scooper scooter guy.

Just like the horse manure scoopers in the parades. Little Cushman three-wheelers with a cab and bed. The operator has a biggish shovel, scoops up indeterminate brown pile from street surface.

Can that be done?

The ol' bury the hatchet never went anyplace, either. :biglip: :larrow: pout

[livius drusus]

We have :pout:. I'll see what I can do about the others.

[Crumb]

What we really need is a fleet of emergency on-call smiley artists.

[livius drusus]

I'll ask Santa.
:rudolph2:

[JoeP]

Ho ho ho!
:xmas:

[MonCapitan2002]

We have :pout:. I'll see what I can do about the others.
That smilie is kind of ugly. It needs to be refined a little. :wave:

[JoeP]

We have :madhat: but no :alice: or :humpty: smilies. I'd also like a smoking :caterpillar: (to add to :bonghit: :weed: and :fly2:), a sleeping :dormouse:, an angry :redqueen:, a placid :whiteqn:, a :whiterab: (with waistcoat and pocketwatch), a :dodo:, and ... and ... a :jabberwock: ... and an :uglyduchess: ... and a :cheshcat:. (I'm not ptcly concerned about :walrus: and :carpenter: or :tweedledum: and :tweedledee:)

Oh and a :snark: and a :boojum: (no, don't even try!)

[MonCapitan2002]

The bong smoking smilie should have made it to the final heat. I am still annoyed that it lost the party category.
