 If you are looking for one line smiley faces and ASCII, I have
included a list that I have complied .  There are some repeats in the list
because I haven't had time to sort them out.  Hope it helps...
Please give me credit for the faces when redistributing them.

 If you are looking for one line smiley faces and ASCII, I have
included a list that I have complied .  There are some repeats in the list
because I haven't had time to sort them out.  Hope it helps...
Please give me credit for the faces when redistributing them.

I got this one from Compuserve a long time ago.

Occasionally you'll see little cryptic codes in messages.  There are called 
emoticons, and are used to express the emotions of normal voice communication 
-- for example, to indicate that the "snide" comment you just read was really 
a joke.  The following list has been compiled from ten years of reading 
messages on bulletin boards and CompuServe forums. 


     emoticon (noun).  A figure created with the symbols on the
     keyboard.  Read with the head tilted to the left.  Used to
     convey the spirit in which a line of text is typed.

These are radio ham (originally morse code) slang, later adopted in
CB radio, especially international single-sideband CB.

FUBAR comes from Bell Telephone repairmen, as does SNAFU,
and there was another one for minor damage.
The first meant "<25% damage, <3days to repair."
Situation Normal, All F***ed Up" meant "<50% damge, <7days to repair."
F***ed Up Beyond All Repair meant ">50% damage, scrap & replace entire"

LOL sometimes 'lots of luck' --used to drive me buggy trying to figure out
what they were laughing about in some messages, like 'LOL finding one'
(LoL is also 'lords of light' in alt.books.roger-zelazny but that's
probably not important here...)

  also i've seen ** used to indicate italics/bold *this is italics or
bold*, and underlines can be shown like this: _this is underlined_,
_as_is_this_ & obvious variations.


hmm. gotta include ascii art? these are what i saw in the 'standard figlet 
font' list in colin's message:

>  _   _      _   _      _   _   _
> (o)_(o)    (_)_(_)    (_) (_) (_)
>  / _ \      /o_o\     | | | | | |

> |_| |_|     \_=_/      \|_______|
>  _____
> |u_|_u\
> | | / /
> | | \ \
> |_| |_/

maybe somebody should do a 'critter's' font (or is there one?)

spinal tap's n?
 _   _ 
(_)_(_)
| '_  \
| | | |
|_| |_|
(seems like the font on the albums more angular...)

When my low fire gave flickering light.

Descending to the smoke below,
Appearing briefly, then they go.
Their messages to those they leave
Who see the faces and believe...

Thanks to Krogg fer the fire. The rest are mine, with appologies to
all who sent me faces, but there were too many to pick from, and if I
used them all it would have been ridiculously large.
