~~~ ...all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream... ~~~
Yeah, I already know the accepted literal translations as far as the individual part go (galsses, tongue, etc). I am more interested in the associated feelings conveyed. For instance, I also see the first as suprised, the second in a kind of silly/joking mode, and the third as a cartoon bird. I'll let everyone know what this is for as soon as I get a few more good responses.

I agree with those interpretations pretty much, although because the circles in the "8" are slightly different sizes it kind of looks like he/she has googly eyes rather than glasses, esp. in the first one. Also I thought the third one kind of looked like he/she might be poking out a very pointy tounge? I think the first definitely conveys its "Message" the clearest.

A figure of speech in which two unlike things are compared. EG; My love is like a red red rose. or His feet wer as big as boats.
Oh, pardon me I was going for SIMILE not smiley. (see smirk at right)> 8^i You've got no noses in your examples, it works on your 1st=suprise but the second one doesn't look right to me. Don't use them much so they always stump me for a second anyway

They are very Barbara Bush-esque, if that helps..

Strange but true, people have done this research for graduate degrees. But to get funding, you have to call them "emoticons" (this guy was actually a rather interesting professor). To answer your research, I'd say: 1) surprise 2) joking/sarcasm 3) I have no idea.

A google for ascii emoticons suggests the last one is regarded as "shouting"

Hmmm... that would make more sense to me if the "v" was upside down.

agree with 1) suprise, 2) tongue poking out, but 3) looked to me like a twisted lip, the sort of expression you use when you can't say what you're really thinking, and you have to stall for time till you think up a creative comment.

#1 is "look out!" #2 is "are you serious!" #3 is the cartoon version of our former Prime Minister, Jean Chretien or ventriloquist speaking

#3 could also indicate "pondering", but that's a stretch of the imagination for me.
