Contest: Win $5 for the best ASCII smile face!

Hi everyone,
	I'm putting out $5 for those who email the best happy face.  All 
you need to do is to email an ASCII happy face with your name, and 
email before April the 15th, 1996.  I'll notify the winner on April the 
18th, 1996 and will post it on this newsgroup.  One happy face entry for 
each email, if you submit more than one, the first submission is the one I'm 
counting.    

Hope you all the best!

 - Everything I say have to be considered only my personal opinion -

Here is my collection:

:-)   Your basic smilie. This smilie is used to inflect a
      sarcastic or joking statement since we can't hear
      voice inflection over Unix.
;-)   Winky smilie. User just made a flirtatious and/or
      sarcastic remark. More of a "don't hit me for
      what I just said" smilie.
:-(   Frowning smilie. User did not like that last
      statement or is upset or depressed about something.
:-I   Indifferent smilie. Better than a Frowning smilie

A smiley :-) is a Happy Face on its side, an ironic twist that turns "Have a nice Day"
     into "Just Joking".

     Smileys are sideways because they are made up of characters typed on a computer
     keyboard. They offer sideways expression of some basic emotions that color and
     clarify a conversion via electronic mail (e-mail) and other forms of communication 
using
     computers.

     Smileys have caught the fancy of many clever, creative ( and obviously idle :-))
     computer types who have expanded the expressive power of smileys to include
     concepts, activities, animals, caricatures of famous people, and other thingeys.

     David Sanderson has been called the "Noah Webster of Smileys" by the Wall Street
     Journal. His full collection of over 650 smileys, compiled over the years from 
e-mail
     messages and news postings, is on display in the reference section. Throughout are
     examples of how smileys are really used in typical e-mail conversations. This book 
also
     advances the state-of-the-art of smileys, including such innovations as Smiley 
Comics
     and Where's Smiley?

     Are smileys the creative expression of the high-tech culture? Or are they an 
aberration
     that reduces human writing to a soulless shorthand of silly symbols? Who really 
cares?
