This one amuses me. When you hover the cursor over it it says 'tounge'!
 
Smilies, I mean how juvenile...

My favourite is the ;) shock, which isn't at all overblown like the "interference by custom official" one. Beautifully understated, a work of art in its own right. ;)

I like smilies, so much easier to read then real life faces. And unlike in real life faces you can hover the cursor and find out what the unusual ones mean.

To me:
:biggrin: grinning
:laugh: laughing
:thumbsup: smug
:ohmy: shocked
:sad: sad
:sad: embarresed
:angry: annoyed
xx( sick

They are fairly obvious but I don't get these. I'm not always sure what people mean with them.

:huh::thumbsdown::o);):evil::biggrin::tongue::tongue::sad:;):tongue:

There should be an Iphone App for people with AS that shows the relevent smilie during real life converations. That would be really good.
