I almost said smiley but that wouldn't have been exactly accurate.

So there are two choices here, before we officially submit this to the mods.

Choice A.


Choice B.


Of course we all know that this is based upon the expression that launched a thousand photoships. Which is here:

Choice A is more in line with the other emoticons on this forum, and I think Choice B looks a little funny...

Great idea though, I really hope we can get this done!

Though choice B is much more obviously Atoz, choice A conveys the expression more clearly and, as coolrunner pointed out, A fits with the established TB smileys better.

If choice A had a black hairdo to match and slightly bigger eyes it would be perfect!

I had to go with B. Sure it looks funny, but hey, you have to work within the limitations of the stuff you're given to work with. If he'd spout a few tears off and on, I think you'd have a real winner on your hands there!

I think "A" stands a better chance of actually getting approved by paul, so I'm going with that.

Both are simply too small, to truly capture the depth of dismay shown in the original pic... that said, I say we go for the one that looks most like him! B!

B is much funnier, but the problem is that new members won't get the joke and while having to explain it (or choosing not to) will add another bit of TB lore/another inside joke (carrots, The Quintar, pile-drivingly heavy etc) I think it will also get tiresome, especially if it is used a lot.

A is still funny, conveys unhappiness (and/or constipation) and would still have some cache while looking like the other smileys.

+1. That's why I voted A.

Yours is ok, but hair would be inconsistent with the set that we already have.
