Sounds like LaurV is looking to have an Avatar bestowed.

I miss the one called "missing teeth" where the smiley was laughing real hard and pounding his hand on the ground. Why was that removed?

It's still there--none of the smilies were removed, just offloaded to the "more" page (below the one remaining smiley in the post-composition interface) to reduce clutter (and CPU load from your browser having to keep all those smilies in motion at once when you're writing a post or PM).

And of course, you can always type the code by hand for any of the smilies:

I think there should be a whole selection of 'confused' smilies. Ranging from "I'll read that later when my head is clearer" to "Great. Now I'm really depressed because I'm never gonna understand that."

I also need smilies for:
Procrastination. (When you get round to it.)
"How did it get to be 3am again?"
"I don't really understand what you just said but I'm going to try answering anyway."
"If I hang around with smart people maybe something will rub off on me."
"I'll make some more tea."

And what about that double Latte of your own current avatar?

Surely, we can put out some Round 'tuits....I've seen those as pogs or coasters before....

Agree completely!

Took me a while to realise what you meant,
Round Tuits

I refused to let my wife buy me one of those. But shelves are finally being put up, kitchen is being refurbished etc. because we got two Polish guys in. (Capital 'P'.)
I tried to learn a bit of Polish out of politeness but it was too hard. To me, they sound like the neighbours' hens when they converse!

My avatar shows two teas btw. My other internet handle is TwoTeasChris. I always wake up dehydrated so drink tea in pairs for a couple of hours. (Decaf.)
(We need a TMI smilie.)

Double teas? You're a brit, through and through!!!!

In my house, TMI also means "Three Mile Island", after the nuclear accident. So a "TMI" smiley might show a cooling tower or containment vessel. (This was before Chernobyl and Fukishima, and after Brown's Ferry, and long after Windscale)

As for the Polish, learn "please", "thank you", and "it's nothing"..I can rattle these off in Russian, but you want the Polish variants for these guys; they will be upset if they think it's Russian.

Duh. I'm aware they are on a different page but I looked for a long time and couldn't find it. They keep getting moved around.

The code for the various smileys frequently doesn't work for me.
