Default Wink Smiley

Sorry for making a deal out of such a small thing, but I think most would agree with me. The smiley for winking you guys are using looks nothing like what the wink is supposed to be. He looks like a confused jean Chretien. Take a look at MSN (or any other program for that matter) and you'll soon realise what it should look like.
What people are trying to convey by using the wink is getting lost! Support proposition 163

Actually I totally agree, and I even had a replacement wink at one point that was on the forum, but I'm not sure what happened to it.. I think I overwrote it by accident at one point.

And I'm kind of picky about having all the smilies have the same look.

i always thought that was the confused smiley. It's probably the most used on the board, and everyone gets what it means (confused).

Ummmmm.....you think people are using this > for confused? I think your confused because I tend to see this one > (which says confused when you use it..) or maybe even this one >

I disagree. I know that there is as well as this . But the 'winking' face has a 'huh' look on his face just as much as the other two you mention. In any event, the paper bag dude is the best.

Heh, the paper bag dude I actually drew myself, AFAIK it's unique to our forum.

For confused I always use , to me says kind of "what can you do" or "that sucks".

Does the winking smiley mean this site will make me drowsy, or that it's suggested I read the site *wink wink* with a couple drinks?

Bonus points to whoever gets that reference.

Heh that one's cool but doesn't really fit the look of the others. They have a better wink though so I'll probably steal that one.

This new wink is unusual. It looks like a fried egg with some hairs on it.

Yeah I agree...I guess we are in the minority though.....I thought the old one was perfect.
