Is it just me or does the 'wink smiley' look more like an annoyed scowl?

;)

Not that I care a whole lot about smilies, but I've noticed sometimes that when the wink icon is used, at first glance it looks like the poster is expressing sarcasm or being annoyed. The only reason I bring it up is that in the internet text-only world, this might cause someone's post to be interpreted in a different tone than was intended.

OK, back to the GFS watch marathon ;)
 
ROFL. ;)

Yeah - that winky smiley has annoyed me for some time. I dunno what the hell he's doing - but it sure looks more like someone has stuck him in the eye with a red hot poker than had he been winking jovially.

And what the hells is <_< < THAT supposed to be???

AND I miss my LOL smiley actually LAUGHING. :lol: < THAT looks more like a yawn.

Man, when I saw this topic in the list, the first thing I thought was "DEAR GOD! SEND US SOME CONVECTION!"

You're lucky. In Norman, that is the prayer we go to bed saying EVERY NIGHT as we kneel down with our hands clasped atop our sheets......
