I've started to see these things popping up around the board, and, frankly, what is it? I mean, I can see how a semi-colon followed by and end bracket can mean wink, or how an eight followed by an end bracket can be a smile. But what is @)? Is this "I'm a happy cyclops who's been startled by something"?

I think they're spending too much time together, that is of course, if you catch my drift. Asher: I think he's *ucking her, and he's cheating on his wife, and he's risking his marriage, and if his wife finds out about it she'll leave him and take their son, and his life will be ruined. If you catch my drift...

Yes. How about %), or &)? ------------------ http://frankg.dgne.com/ RB: "'Get a life' is a phrase heard a lot, though I have never known exactly what kind was implied. Seems a lot of shallowness and greed is the rule." CS: "I guess that it means the kind of life led by the characters of 'Dawson's Creek' or 'The Simpsons'."

@) = o_O or @_*Basically it's a "I'm BUGGING OUT at what you just said" Or..... another varient is "I'm going nuts" or just plain "I AM nuts" ------------------ "Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned What it is to be in love and have that love returned"
