Iv'e been meaning to ask this for a couple years now, but for some reason, I just never got around to it. Why are there two puking emoticons?? :confused: I think Iv'e probably spent hours looking at these two emoticons over the last couple years, just trying to see any kind of difference between the two, but I haven't for the life of me been able to see any difference, other then the fact that one is called the puke emoticon, and the other is called the throw up emoticon. LOL!! Has anyone here noticed any difference between the two, other then the different names?? This is one of those silly and meaningless questions, that has driven me crazy for years now. :lol:

I think I remember that thread. I believe that's where I first learned what the brent emoticon was all about as well. I use to look at it and think: what the heck does brent mean?? :confused: I knew of Brent88, but just never made the connection. Hopefully someone will be able to answer the other question now.

Brent got his emoticon after a long streak of laughing wildly smileys in nearly every thread. Sarah I don't remember *precisely*, but I believe it was after a similar grumpy streak.

As for the double-chucker, why change it now?

I don't think it should be changed, I was just curious as to why there were two of them. I thought maybe I was crazy or something, and that there really was something different about them that I just wasn't seeing. I agree with you though, having two emoticons that are exactly the same causes no harm. Like I said, it was just one of those stupid questions that was driving me crazy.

That was meant more jokingly :-P.

I always tend to get a bit grumpy when people bring up smileys around here, lol.

Anyone ever notice how the drooling emoticon always looks like it's constipated?? :drool: I never know whether I should put it up when I'm describing something that tastes good, or when I have to go to the bathroom. :lol:

Just an observation. LOL!!
