I'll still be most upset if there's no 
; it was requested long before 
or these nancy-boy wines... 
Psst!

I made you promise not to tell a soul, WM!
Psst!
Witty Moniker Posted Aug 15, 2002
Drat! I forgot to use the tag! 
I saw Peet wasn't having nearly as much success at the guessing game, so I took pity on him. 
How can I make it up to you, Amy?
Psst!

She was just saving me a few hours typing, Amy... 
They're very cool, but in Goo, at my screen resolution, I thought the mice were a pair of bleached cattle-skulls as seen in the desert... 
Psst!

Guessing, Witty? I was methodically working down the smiley suggestions list (in batches of 42 of course) trying all the obvious tags... 
Psst!

Oh, and, Witty, I still have a soul; Buffy wouldn't sleep with me. 
Psst!

How dare you be rude about my mice! They do look better in alabaster/brunel. I was made to change them at the last minute, they looked better before.
Psst!

I wasn't setting out to be rude, Amy... It's just that my monitor is a tad dark at the moment, so the black outlines and whiskers disappear into the Goo, and the insides of the ears look like horns. I've met people who keep their monitors so dark they didn't realise Goo was supposed to be blue, so you may get this comment from others too... 
Psst!

You're forgiven 
.
Psst!
Witty Moniker Posted Aug 16, 2002
I didn't realize that the community artists were working on the smilies, Amy! 
Nice job!
Okay, I take it back. Neither one of you was guessing.
Psst!

Yay!
. Lord Preston will be so happy. 
. Nancy the Dragon will be overjoyed. 
. I think Lighthousegirl already knows.
Psst!
