:-{ ?

Y'know, I've been surfing the web a lot in the past few years, and I've seen a lot of smilies. Happy faces :-) Winking ; - ) Angry >:-( and the like.

I've yet to come across a smilie for Homicidal Rage While Holding a Cheese Grater and Thinking of My Ex-Girlfriend Who Said She Wanted Us to Be Just Friends But Went to All of My Real Friends and Started Telling Horrible Lies About Me and a Cockapoo Which Never Happened Because I Was In California at the Time Doing A Favor For Her No Good Brother Who Stole Thirty Bucks From My Wallet Then Gave It Back To Me As a Loan (With 20% Interest) A Week Before He Shoved Me Down A Cliff Into the Wrath Full Sea From Which I Was Only Escaped Through the Fortuitous Aid of a Pod Of Passing Dolphins and A Beautiful Blonde Who Still Won't Return My Phone Calls Damn It.

Which makes me feel really restricted in what I can say on-line. I mean, what if all of that happened to me? Am I supposed to write that out every time? I think not.

There's got to be some way of doing it. Maybe with a hyphen and a couple of commas... Yeah... Yeah, maybe...
