What's fun is thinking about how many ancient threads are now retroactively decorated with these new smileys.
There were just scads of 
s and 
s used over the years.

Effers: yes, could be! A one smiley post to indicate that the other poster is being a tad apocolytpic!

Am I the only firefox-goo user who can't see the new smileys? I've tried Plain, Brunel and Alabaster and can see most of them. I *despise* them all Goo is the way, 'blue screen of death and all
.
Maybe I should just 
and wait as patiently as a patient thing 
Oh I can see (and use) 
but that's the only one

When I'm using Goo, I can see the drum roll. For pggb and the can of wormsI just get that text as a link to the smiley site. For the rest, just blank space.

The shrug smiley reminds me of the marshmallow man in Ghostbusters.

yep I do like the new smileys but they will defo get used here I think, creatively; it's what we do best.
The eyes look a bit terrified and hysterical, but when you shrug it's usually a kind of confident 'so what' in real life...maybe the emphasis should have been more on the mouth?

Yea, "shrug" is one of those things that are variable as 
... like the word ...
so useful, yet so open to intonation and nuance.

Depends what kind of shrug it is. It could be "Well I can't do anything about it", "I haven't a clue", or "So? Tell someone who cares!"
I think this one is a *great* "search me!" shrug.

Then there's the Gallic shrug, which means "I can understand you, but you didn't say it in French"
