Why is there no 'giraffe eating a chocolate éclair' emot?

SimonWaldram	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 9:56 AM The other day I was talking to someone on DM and I really needed to use emot of a giraffe eating a chocolate éclair. So I went to the icons page and to my absolute horror and disgust I found that such a emot does not exist!! I have to say I'm very disppointed by this and I would like assurances from DMusic's top brass that this situation will be rectified as soon as possible.
ShadowMom	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 10:06 AM I'm sure the top brass are paying attention, Simon. I'm not.
shadowself	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 10:15 AM There is! Scroll down, it's right under the Wales flag.
zedsalt	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 10:22 AM Well, you know why there isn't, right? Obviously, such an emote would be way, way overused practically immediately, and everyone would be sick of it.

SimonWaldram	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 10:35 AM Is that... You guys know that it's National Chocolate Eclair Day' on June 22nd? (...I'm not kidding, it really is...at least in the States). We need to sort this shit out before then or we're just going to be letting down eclairs all over the world. What about the chocolate eclairs eaten by men that fought for your freedom, do they mean nothing to you, DMusic??

SimonWaldram	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 5:43 AM That's not a giraffe or an éclair, silly. That's a hammer
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 6:14 AM A giraffe eating a chocolate eclair emoticon... about as stupid as it gets. But why expect anything less in the complaints forum or from you. Here, have some Lemsip.
Orion	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 6:19 AM WTF?

ChillinBuzz	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 7:20 AM Bizarre is an understatement but no great shock... Still doesn't make this a complaint though. I mean, if this was a site dedicated to the wellbeing of diabetic giraffes, I'd get it...
SimonWaldram	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 12:35 PM It was just a silly joke between me and ShadowMom that went a bit too far. I really don't think it's getting worked up about, and it's certainly not worth calling me "stupid" here or slagging me off in other people's shout boxes. Step away from your computer for a while, go get some fresh air, and maybe with a little more perspective you'll see that, really - in the big scheme of things and all - a person (who you don't even know) starting a harmless thread on a website really isn't something you need to be angry about.
ShadowMom	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 7:39 PM I believe I owe you two, Simon.
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 2:26 AM I'll say what I want but I was asked nicely to let this one go. As for what I called you, I stand by it. It was the nicest thing that sprung to mind.
SimonWaldram	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 2:57 AM You were trying to be nice?? Aw, that's different then! Here, have a and a
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 3:53 AM Indeed, Simon... Although I'd rather hug an angry bear.
zedsalt	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 10:21 AM Right now, I couldn't bear an angry hug...
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 10:23 AM I want an angry bear emoticon! so I can hug it! (as long as it doesn't resemble my ex-wife).
GTOriginal	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 12:59 PM I could kiss that furry critter all day long...
Orion	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 4:21 PM
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 4:58 PM GT, please tell me you were NOT referring to my ex!

ShadowMom	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 9:53 PM Is that for the giraffe ... or the eclair ... or both??
GTOriginal	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 9:54 PM More of a "General" remark.

cornstalker	Date: May 21, 2007 @ 2:31 PM Too bad, quess you will have to make one.
SimonWaldram	Date: May 21, 2007 @ 7:00 PM Thank you so much to Fra for this
zedsalt	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 10:23 AM At the tender age of nine, I was headbutted by a giraffe in Chicago. Due...at least in part...to this, I say let 'em eat leaves. The bastards.
ChillinBuzz	Date: May 22, 2007 @ 12:06 PM I knew there was no logic to this at all! Nice one, Zed! Er, well, not so nice to your head... Now if I could just get the giraffe to headbutt a few more people...
fanch-t	Date: May 27, 2007 @ 11:18 PM Am I the only one that believes emotes are entirely unjustified? Seriously, one day the English language will devolve into a couple of smiley faces toasting with beermugs. Then what? Whatever happened to using words to express emotions? If I see one more student answer a test question with IDK I think my head my explode.
fanch-t	Date: May 27, 2007 @ 11:19 PM MY HEAD MY EXPLODE! you see, it's happening already.
ShadowMom	Date: May 27, 2007 @ 11:25 PM I am actually quite verbal-- but I like the fact that emotion, which can be hard to convey in a few sentences, can be displayed in this way. I don't have to keep saying JK, for instance. I can just say or and they know what I'm trying to convey. I could say more but I'm so I think I'll just be and behave now.
