Emoticons Contest

[Prometheus]

OK, here's the dealio. This contest is for a blind fiver of goodies from the bomb shelter. No dog rockets for sure. :grin: I need a little lift in spirits so let's laugh a bit shall we?

Contest as follows. The best story told with excessive use of emoticons wins. 1 entry per person. I will narrow the entries to just 3, and the members will vote from there. I will cut off entries on Sunday eve @ midnight. Stories can be true, or just made up, your choice. :thumbsup: Good luck to all.

EDIT - Here is an example.

Well if you are a little short and :lady: sees you :computer: for :smokingbo that could lead you getting :hammersma . Then you'd be all :sadstare: . Of course being the good BOTL that we are, we'd be all :rofl:

Great submission in the "short story" catagory Dave, however I felt it was lacking in character developement.

I was sitting at work (work=:barf: ) one day. Earlier in the day the cops :devilhead showed up to my door asking for my girlfriend :lady: Jen. I thought this was strange :dunno: as cops usually don't show up at my door, thank God :applause: ! If they did, I might have to do some ass kicking :ninja: , but then I'd be in jail and have to get some :help: to bail me out. Anyway, I was concerned :closedmou and was hoping it was nothing bad. After talking to Jen :lady: for about 5 minutes, he left..just before I was about to kick butt :crackwhip . She said it was nothing....but I didn't get time to ask much about it as we both had to go to work :barf: . Later in the day I found out by clicking on my bank's website :computer: that my acct was drained of all money :argh:! I tried calling Jen's :lady: phone, but no answer :crying: . I started to worry seriously :frown: at this point in time, but I was stuck at work :barf: until 8 o'clock that day. I called Jen's :lady: work :barf: , and they said she left at 10 am saying she had an emergency and wouldn't be back for a while :popeyes: , but didn't elaborate. I thought my car :driving: was stolen, and called my aunt to come to Ann Arbor immediately to help me because I was seriously confused :scratchhe at this point. She went over to my apartment only to find all Jen's :lady: stuff gone, but my car was still there and so were my precious cigars :smokingbo . I later got an email :computer: from Jen :lady: explaining that she had a child she never told me about and had a custody hearing about it :sarcastic and had to leave town immediately..and that she was so sorry :angerFU: about what she did. I asked, no yelled :bickering :boxing: a bunch of questions her way about how she could up and leave and take all my money :argue: :shame: ..and how she could handle the whole situation so poorly. Trust is a big part of a relationship with any woman :lady: and I'm learning what I did wrong :nono: . But, in the end, I still love :starrylov this woman and still want to spend the rest of my life with her:togetherl ...but if I take her back easy then it might mean I'm an easy target...which I'm not :ninja: . I do fight back :stickbeat . But, if you really love :love: someone, you should be able to forgive them :kissforeh for even the worst mistakes. I'm still highly pissed off :angryteet about what happened...but I realize she was scared and didn't want to tell the truth when she first met :facerub: me because she was embarrased :shame: to say she had a child at such a young age. The lie spun out of control :devilhead until she had to face it :help: or run. She didn't think I'd forgive :kissforeh her for lying...but she now realizes that true love :hearteyes isn't skin deep..and that if you have a real relationship you can work anything out as a team...but you must stay together :facerub: ..and not divide yourselves. I'm currently in the process of trying to salvage :kiss: our relationship and work on our trust issues. If I love :inlove: someone I don't give up because someone makes mistakes :nono: . We're all human....and I make mistakes too :stickbeat . True love is worth saving :kiss: !

Vive le Love!

I got bombed :gangfire: :assaultri :riflefire by a bunch of top notch BOTL's here with some great smokes :smokingbo and that made the whole experience so much better for me! The great bros :cool: here are the best on the net :yes: or anywhere for that matter :glassesgr . I am now in the process of bombing back :bangbang: :bangbang: :bangbang: to pass the love forward and give some other brothers some good smokes :smokingco . If it wasn't for the brothers :dance: here at BOTL, the whole experience would have been alot more depressing :hanghead: than it was. I have alot to be thankful for...I have a bunch of great bros here at this site...and I have a chance to become a deeper person :clap: by learning how to forgive mistakes :nono: which I have been notoriously horrible at :ballbounc . All in all it was a positive experience...as I got to show I'm trustworthy to someone who has never trusted anyone (her family left her at a young age :angryteet :angerFU: ) much the same mine did :shame: .....and I also got an eye opening experience of what a bunch of great BOTL's there are on this site.

ROCK ON BOTL!!! :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: :guitar:

[Wasch_24]

Ummm, I am not even going to try and top that.

Oh, and watch out man...if you get my drift.

[AZsteelman]

Very nice Jason. We now have an entry for the NOVEL portion of the contest (Wow) :lookaroun . Should have clarified that I am looking for smileys in place of words, however used to augment emotions and or add color is also nice. :thumbsup:

[fredneck]

I was thinking of the same format as Jason, is this the correct style? :dunno:

[MichiganM]

Smiley's in place of words? How?

[Prometheus]

Well if you are a little short and :lady: sees you :computer: for :smokingbo that could lead you getting :hammersma . Then you'd be all :sadstare: . Of course being the good BOTL that we are, we'd be all :rofl:

Again, Jason your entry is fine. Good use for augmentation. Either in place of or in addition to. I should have given an example. If you feel like it you may re-enter. I have edited the original post to give example.

I just got pimp smacked :pimp1:

He's the juggernaut bitch!! Nice entry.

[Prometheus]

I am entering this guy as a contestant. He was the one that gave me the idea in the first place. So we now have 3 entries. Sorry Fred, incoherent rambling won't be considered - :stretchgr

:wifey: Wifey busted me the other day. I had to work on a Sat. and the postman comes to the door with a package to be signed for and he asks "did he get the other two slips I dropped off the other day." I tried to play :innocent: and :scratchhe but needless to say there was a little :bickering and I suffered a few :boxing:

However, I shall remain resolute and not be deterred from my mission :ninja: After all, who's the :king: around here? (just don't let :lady: know )
