Best icons:
:lol2: and :notworthy:
:cry: - best when used with sarcasm
:mrgreen: :clap: :wink: :evil: :twisted:
Most Hated icons:
:banghead: - looks soo ugly just like a psycho
:huh: - looks like a wimp #1
:x : horrible, inji-thinna korangu #1
:tongueout: squashed up raw tomato
8) - looks like a cinema dada
:shock: - inji thinna korangu #2
:rotfl: - irritating when over done
:roll: - wimp #2
:hammer: - violent
IMHO the emoticon i hardly ever get to use but would love to :thumbsup:
the emoticon used for confusion looks rather displeased no? :?
:) looks like a cheesy grin i rather like :smile2:
:oops: seems too harsh usually you mean "oh my bad" not "oh woe is me"
:| i think this emoticon is very underused but that is probably how we look when reading threads we can't make head or tail of and frankly don't give a ****
but i guess the best of the best is :D it really brightens your day sometimes...
and :rotfl: is better than that weird lip flapping :lol2:
:roll: this must be the emoticon that mods wear when seeing the extent of criticisms we add to pictures that rather control us than we control them...
:lol2: is not weird, it is cool. It is a lazy snigger that doesnt burn too many calories when you make an effort to laugh but is still as emphatic as http://www.puppstheories.com/forum/h...ons/mutley.gif
:lol2:

Woe to me :cry: to happen to use :cry: often. A great solace there is a companion to share the plight of taking recourse to :cry: But it is unkind to make it my "favourite" :cry: :lol:
PP,
you used that icon thrice when talking about bangalore sambhar. Sorry it reflected on you and not on the sambhar :D
forgot to add, kasi_sce frequently uses :banghead: and it is solely because of JC :)
for a change :banghead: at HHHW on his *thesis on emoticons*
my favs are :roll: :) :thumbsup: :rotfl: ...& of course :banghead: ... :wink: :lol:
I like this one: :shock:
hehehe.....
o and who can forget these.. :!: :?:
Since I :cry: everywhere till very recently I thought hehehewalrus follows me everywhere watching me :cry: It didnt strike me he is nursing a grudge against me for my offence against B'lore sambhar :lol: :rotfl:
What a thread!Only Walrus can start it. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
PP, I simply attributed it to you and not coz of your comment. I personally think Blore sambhar is a phrase like "red herring" and has nothing to do with sambhar just as the former has nothing to do with herring :DQuote:

Who said I am in Madurai :?: I am a Maduraite, though :lol: I sing songs other than dirges too :lol:
hope those songs dont have words like "phlegmatic", "lugubrious", "facetious", "pusillanimous", etc... :D
:wink: :thumbsup: ----> I like it
My last story posted is by no means sad :D My assorted poems in English in "The Hub" thread & in Tamil in "muthalidam" thread will show I dont always mope about. :lol:
PP, talking of stories, can you conjure something like this young man? :D
http://www.classicshorts.com/stories/Storyteller.html
Another Saki admirer besides badri :D But I must say I am not impressed by the "reeling" capacity of the bachelor :x He is a selfish, wicked, clever man, mindless, reckless, least concerned about child-rearing ethics :evil: Yes, I take sides with the aunt in admonishing him :twisted:
There are many writers of that period Saki belonged to who wrote in the same vein, I mean the mild sarcasm. At present I have relapsed to my teen age fantasy :Agatha Christie :D
PP not really crazy of Saki, more of O Henry fan :) But I have very fond memories of this story.Quote:

We had no other option but to go for a model which had velcro straps. (Anything other than the laced "Naughty Boy" model is banned in our school). So I spent the entire year dodging the Prefects during the Post Assembly Uniform Check which happened twice a week(When I gave the reason for my model, they laughed out loudly and told me to run around the ground as punishment). Plus a lot of suppressive/repressive measures - a class teacher who banned the purchase of ice-creams, vacating the school campus by 430pm(my parents actually told me to come late since I'd be alone at home!), banning students from bringing their own balls and bats(we would still play and sprint home with our kit and schoolbags when a staff comes across), conversing only in English, how many times our hide-and-seek games were interrupted by the swooping down of some teacher or the watchman and we raced to the nearest exit from the school or in worse cases got our balls and bats confiscated which means more punishment from parents, waiting till 5.30pm for our teachers to leave so we could buy a 50 paise icecream, doctors who warned that kids playing in the hot sun from February will get bleeding in the ear/nose......the list of tortures from our teachers/watchman/peons was endless. :hammer:
Each year we would label the last day of our Annual Exam as "Independence Day" - a day we could eat icecreams, chase each other around, splash ink, climb trees(and also gang-beat up a troublesome classmate) without fear of the consequences.
And this devilish 11 year old mind imprisoned by such stentorian measures found a perverted pleasure in this English lesson which loudly and derisively mocked at the Camlin wooden scale/Casuarina branch and so-conclusively proved that obedience is for wimps! :twisted: :twisted: :thumbsup:
The academician who sneaked in this story into a textbook for 11 year olds deserves :notworthy: :twisted:
I am sure this is one area where Stanherji will agree with me than PP ;) :D
Boys will be boys is the proverb :lol:
PP,
Hope i havent added an extra ring of fire around your grandson(s) :)
My mother's friend was teaching her son "The boy stood on the burning deck" from casabianca. The kid convincingly wrapped it up saying the boy burnt to death coz of listening to his father's words :)
We had another story by Jan Mark in class 8, the story was like there was a feud between the music teacher and hockey teacher of a school, and a girl is caught in the crossfire. She misses practice for both which are held simultaneously and ends up not getting selected for either the hockey final or the school opera. We kids were delighted with the story and predictably our English teacher skipped this lesson for the exams :)
Take a look at this one:

A real good hilarious comedy with scope for the acting talents of school kids! :D I foresaw the end :wink: :lol:
Remember the play fondly :lol:
We put it up as our entry into the inter house skit competition and won a price (think it was second)
I can still remember my English teacher one Mrs Lakshmi's expressions when she was walking us through this play .Some of my most beloved memories are of school during classes 8 & 9.
