New smiley?

    Hello. I would seriously like to suggest the addition of a new smiley to the ones we already have. javaboy came up with this, by the way.

    The smiley in question would be a small picture of Jeremy Paxman (like this one, for example), which we think would be added to a post by typing ":pax:"

    The reason for this is becuase that there isn't a smiley available to highlight either the smugness or pretentiousness in a post. Two examples:
    I just got a new jumper, losers.

    and
    How come this mod banned this poster when another mod didn't? It's like the reign of the malevolent James I all over again!

    As you can see, the :pax: smiley performs both purposes admirably. That is most unlike the one-trick-pony smilies you see galloping all over the place usually and is also much more efficient as smilies go. It's certainly far better than this monstrosity: :rolleyes:

    I shall await your response with anticipation, though I'm sure I've convinced you quite effectively...

    Excellent, I'm looking forward to it like the confident British military did before leaving Blighty to kick some hun bottoms.

    Damn, that's smug. I hope he doesn't go to san fransisco. The resulting smug cloud could destroy us all!
