If there was any question as to your genius, I think this post clarify the matter once and for all.

To celebrate, I'll bake you a cake...in my chef's hat:

0=;)

Jurgen Nation said...

*<;}= Merry Christmas! Love, Drunk Santa.

Stormy Cruz said...

**clarifies. Clarifies the matter.

P.S. The underside of a pregnant dog thing, I think, is up there with the Theory of Relativity.

Meghan said...

Ummmmm I just discovered your blog. I'm in love. You are hilars.

You might enjoy mine as well, as we are both clearly awesome. Check it out. :)

Jen O. said...

You are a very talented emoticon artist. See what I just did? Emoti con artist? Sheesh. Tough room.

miss. chief said...

There was a loud outburst of laughter when I got down to the pretzel one. And then an even louder outburst when I got to Davy fucking Crockett. Hilarious!

dogimo said...

Blissseeker said...

:~( All I want for Christmas is a nose job...

Anonymous said...

I must use all these emoticons once. How do you suggest I use "I feel like I'm the underside of a pregnant dog"..?

Allie said...

Stormy - Yes, but can you bake me a pretzel in your chef's hat? 0=:)-<&

Jurgen Nation - That is radtacular right there. Holy cow.

M - Thanks for reading! And yes. We are both totally awesome :)

Gigi - I would love to see someone use these in something. Be sure to let me know how you do it!

Diego - Maybe someday, Diego. Maybe someday.

Josephine - It also looks like it might be constipated... >.<

Dual Mom - Definitely let me know if you find a way to do it :)

Jen O. - Trademark that. Seriously. That was awesome!

miss.chief - She should totally trademark it, huh?

Erin - the ampersand has always looked like a pretzel to me. Like one of the broken ones at that bottom of the bag that no one wants.

Joe - o<-< <3 :-D (That is supposed to read "I heart bear" but it looks more like I am saying "I am lying on the ground giving projectile birth to a human heart and hey! There's a bear!"

Blisskeeper - Here you go---> :-)

Cheryl - I think it is most appropriate for when you are having one of those days where you feel all floppy and lumpy and bloated. It can also be used to express profound embarrassment.

I used to use others on my blog, but I can't remember them now. Was a LOT of fun at the time, though. Yours are fabulous!

Matthew J Bevis said...

Oh, you've got blog owner approval set up now? Fair enough. I think that means I submitted the previous comment twice. Please delete one copy of it! (And this one too.)

Cheers big ears - and I hope you're doin' okay.
