Which you got?

 

Also, it drives me nuts when people use the winky emoticon in a situation where it doesn't make sense.  For example:

Do these people just have an eye problem?

Why do I feel I inspired this thread?

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I would love to have an emoticon of this, maybe animated:

maybe it can be converted in ASCII...

I hate it when people use the :rock: emoticon almost constantly.  On some forums I see it all the time and have come to loathe the very sight of it.  If it has to be used, surely it should be reserved for a truly noteworthy occurrence, not for anything that loosely falls into the positive category.

Whoever posts from a laptop, whilst lying on his bed with his head on the pillow. I wish I could still do that, but I don't have a laptop anymore.

Those are quite a few stipulations indeed!

Well at least Fo's winks don't turn into stupid emojis that look like stroke victims.

Don’t do drugs, unless you’re with me.

Where does the emoji spelling come from? "Emoti(con)" is easy enough to figure out, but what is the J doing in there?
