Ryan Hellyer's link had interesting smilies...

The stick your tongue out smiley: :P some people go :-P

What if *I* as admin of my site can have the option to choose....for this smiley, I will have to type this (something).

:tonge: :-P :P

I NEVER LIKED :P , where is Mr. Smiley's nose. :-P IS PROPER.

Like I said for many years, smileys should NEVER EVER be part of core of WP, PHBB, la cucaracha dance or whatever else. It should be a plugin.
