Okay...
Stuff the smileys in a silk stocking, drown them in beer, run them over with a Harley, ship them to Belgium via UPS just to be sure they're really dead, then murmur some prayer for them in Elvish, bury them beneath a new tree that will grow up to become an Alembic, figure out how many pictures we're going to demand, and how many posts will need to be written in the process... and we can finally get back on topic.
What were we talking about, anyway?
