:-) - 25th Birthday (First Emoticon)

Postby Llewthepoet » Tue Sep 18, 2007 9:55 pm

:-) Happy Birthday! :o I was wondering who exactly "invented" the kinds of signs...or emoticons.

Anyone else want to celebrate?

gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

I knew that internets predated me, but I never thought (until the news) that the classic emoticon went back to my first year.
