I'll challenge it!
You know why we need less smilies? Yes, you do. I know it, you know it, Grumbler knows it as he's slowly and stealthily slipping his fingers down his pants in the corner as he watchs the Scary Movie 3 trailer again.
The reason is simple, and it is this: the more smilies we have, the lower the average IQ of this board drops! Before you know it, these cute little smilies will take these boards by storm, infesting every single post they can
. These smilies a:Sre DANGEROUS. Oh, sure they'll start out as an inn
cent little complement to your average Black Falcon post of anti-logic and anti-em:otion... but then they'll m:love:ve onto more serious business, like undermining OB1's posts that belittle others. Sure, you'll say, "But Beaner, that's a GOOD thing! Then we won't have to feel inferior to his p
mpous ego over this gl:Srious community!" Friends, I ask you this: without OB1 berating our every mistake, who will we LOOK UP to to tell us what we're doing wrong and refine our disgustingly imperfect personalities?!?
Before you know it, these smilies will begin attracting A:evil:L users who think their cutesy appearance is enough incentive to visit back every day and bombard us with their corrupt A:evil:L values and ideas! These evildoers will stop at NOTHING!
Then, once these perverse smilies have become such a c:weird:mm
n part our every day routine, we won't take notice when they start inserting THEMSELVES into our posts. They'll start with the m
st subtle places, like replacing themselves with O's, and then, pretty soon, we'll have completely discarded with the English language and simply speak with smilies. Is THAT what you want? Oh, sure, then instead of reading 100,000 word posts shot back and forth between OB1 and Black Falcon, we can simply read:
:stupid:
:cuss:
:p
:troll:
:snow:
:weird:
:hmm:
(try to guess who's who)
...and we won't have to guess whether DJ's j
king or not. With smiliese, he'll INVARIABLY be j:shock:king! I mean, who could take this seriously: 
?
In c:evilha:nclusion, smilies will help everyone and make this community a better place, and hence, we much embrace this new way :)f life as s:(:Dn as p:rofl2:ssible. 
:stick: 
:fairy: :snow: 
:love:
