Myself, I stay away from using smilies. I used to use them years ago, though I stopped since it seems inappropriate to me.

Smilies are essential for use online since there is no emotion in text. :whistle:

I see your point, though I think some people overuse them to the point it's obnoxious.

On MSFN, the only smilie I've ever used is :wacko: since I occasionally wander down the wacky road. However, I make great use of LOL, LOL!, (LOL), (LOL!) -- (note that there is a *great difference* in the meaning of these 4 versions) -- lol, lol!, (lol), (lol!), LOL, LOL!, (LOL), (LOL!), and lol, lol!, (lol), (lol!). With these 16 nuanced versions of "laugh out loud", I sometimes spend hours deciding on which one to use in a particular situation when I make a Post on MSFN. (Just kidding, I'm not that wacky.)
P.S.
I like your avatar, but I especially like your member name, "blackturbokitty", for its juxtaposition of the aggressive and forceful (i.e., "turbo") with the gentle and fragile (i.e., "kitty"). You don't have a split personality do you? (lol)
(It only took me 45 minutes to determine that this was the appropriate version of "laugh out loud" to use here.) :wacko:

I keep lol in my signature, so I rarely actually have to type it myself. :whistle:

A great image, Tripredacus.
I looked fixedly at it for 30 minutes and became hypnotized. I had to take a cold shower to become un-hypnotized.
LOL, LOL!, (LOL), (LOL!), lol, lol!, (lol), (lol!), LOL, LOL!, (LOL), (LOL!), lol, lol!, (lol), (lol!) !!
Here is my *static* response to your image. ( I was thinking about van Gogh's "Starry Night" as I made it.)

A cute image, jaclaz, but aren't those hamsters "humping"?
Such obscenity!!...(lol)...Indeed, as we all know, obscenity is in the eye of the beholder.

As well as humour, judging from the image in your avatar, you may be able to appreciate this one (still OT :ph34r:):

Seriously, jaclaz, I did appreciate your i and pi cartoon. (I got a good chuckle out of it.)
I had never seen a mathematical cartoon along those lines before.
If you have some other favorite links in your collection that you'd like to post -- (if it's not too much trouble) -- I'd certainly be happy to check them out. Thanks.
P.S.
Pee-Wee Herman would certainly love pi, for it indeed goes on to "infinity" !

NOT a smiley, and NOT a cartoon, BUT math related:
