The downward slope of Humankind since the advent of the written word can be reversed. The lack of smileys stops here!

Which peace symbol you ugly baboon faced cod sucking toady!
The CND (anti-nukes badge thingy)
The V-sign with fingers
or the olive branch
Here, considering my words above, I would need to offer you all three. And a big fat silly smiley face just so you don't take me seriously. (Note: Never take me seriously. I don't)
Have a . Extra cream?
If you're looking for the middle finger smiley we haven't got one of them yet either..

CALM DOWN, calm down...I know it's not
There should also be a smiley, although that may be taking it a bit TOO far...

Champagne should be served in a flute not a martini glass!

That depends if you can afford one...
Hey, how come there isn't a smilie?

Apparently all the currency symbols ($,etc) are in your keyboard somewhere on something called a character map... Pounds, Euros, Zoltys, Rubles, Dinars, the whole nine yards.
By the way does anybody know where that comes from ..the 'whole 9 yards"? It ain't football.

Dragonfly. "A poet can survive everything but a misprint"-- Oscar Wilde Posted Jan 3, 2001
YES!!! I think it was from WWI or WWII... I think it was aerial attacks....errr.... no!!!
Was it in regards to automatic rifles!?? They could reach nine yards?!??
I know it had something to do with the new warfare developed in those wars...
And.... changing the subject back to older posts, I know that in the grand US, we sell PLASTIC flute glasses, so everyone can afford them and feel equal. Good old communism. I mean... capitalism!!! 
And RedFish, dear... there is a

Sorry! I shouldn't have shouted! 
I like the idea!!!!!!!!
BTW: I REALLY think there should be a smiley for tea! (No! I won't start with , and )

Dragonfly. "A poet can survive everything but a misprint"-- Oscar Wilde Posted Jan 3, 2001
That's funny... I have a sudden craving for tea, and I do not drink tea!!! 
Does everyone have their own !?? How about !??
Was my guess about the Whole Nine Yards right!?!??
The Lack-of-Proper-Smileys Support Group
~ jwf ~ scribblo ergo sum Posted Jan 3, 2001
Your guess is as good as mine. But I like the idea of maybe hand grenades which have an effective range of about 'nine yards'...
But even that seems arbitrary. No, we'll just have to wait and keep asking til we hear from an expert.
BTW: we seem to have gone off topic again...
Wanna start a new one called the absolute final definitive list of smileys needed now?

OK!!!
I'll start off with (I think that is where it comes from-- I'm pretty sure, in fact; that was my third guess)

I think the bear smiley (from long ago) was a great idea!
