Are a few good emoticons! Folks over at the "Forum Who's Name Shall Not Be Uttered" have several decidedly unique emoticons available for use.

The one that came to mind just now as being especially handy depicts a saddled horse on its back, legs pointed up, being beaten by our friend the smiley face with a big stick.

Honestly, some of the threads around here that just refuse to die, or, more to the point, be compassionately left for dead, staggers one.

Just sayin'...

I tend to click on the "your posts" option and go back where I've been to see whats been said after me (and then am inclined to respond based on whats there) which might make me (and maybe others who do the same thing) guilty of keeping some threads so they're in sort of 'immortal'

Oh, whistlrr! that is not at all the kind of horse beating I'm referencing. O my not at all :D

I still want to know what the Knobbywishbone of Michigan is...

:lol: If you ever come to Michigan and ask for directions you might be treated to a Michiganders' convenient (I dare say.. 'handy') helpful 'visual aid'

since Michigan is shaped like a mitten we're rather inclined to hold up the properly corresponding hand (depending on how we're facing with you) to help us aid you in your navigation and tell you where you are

I call this our 'hand-as-a-map' technique and I'd have a suitable nice small 150x150 5k image somewhere about my account to help except I keep getting a pesky message about a 'failure to write a temporary file'

Here's Michigan (pay no mind to the "Upper Peninsula" most Michiganders do, which might annoy more "U P'ers" -- if there were more people up there and little less bears and swampland :p)

see, I'm sort over... (holding up my hand again as if you can see it lol...)
you get the idea maybe I think! :D

:lol: And thank you for the geography lesson heh heh heh...

So if ya confuse your right hand with your left hand, unh, yer lost? :rolleyes:

See that's where we Michiganders are especially savvy in our adept skill to use reverse imagery as needed..

see, if for some reason I needed review or tell myself where I am, I'd simply look at the back of my left hand, but I can (get this!) hold up my right hand palm facing the out of towner so that they are given the proper directional sense of Michigan on my right palm and still point with my left hand in an entirely (to me) backwards fashion where we are and our various relation to other points of interest in Michigan are and without the least little bit of confusion. We do this all the time, without even thinking about it (impressive eh? We Michiganders are just like that) :D

chuckle, snicker, omg...

This forum needs a mobile version.

And yeah, Michigan rules. = p
Don't know 'bout a mobile version cassavetes but your timing couldn't be better. I'm chuckling over LH/RH Michigan hand maps with "The Shining" on the boob-tube across the room and up pops yer smilin jack avatar :lol:

I kid........ we are overdue for some new smilies around here.

I'll make a suggestion.......

How about putting up some custom ones in this thread you'd like to see (keep em clean of course !).

VapeOn,
Greg

That horse-beating you've got in your post would keep me quit for a day or two.

gimme, gimme, gimme ;)

lol...... just take it !! right click on image, save pic as (to your hard drive), then upload it to photobucket or some other online site to use it.

Sorry, it will take some time to get to offering some new smilies until the server change updates & minor glitches are worked out.

Snicker, thank you sir.

Gotta brush up on my sarcasm skills. My initial post was actually a mini-vent prompted by a particular thread that popped up again last night. The darn thing just won't die!

But I'll still take the horse! :D
