A Smiley Story




							An excercise in futility.

It's true. Instant Messenger has some new smilies. Unforutnately it's so complicated and unnecessary that no one ever uses them and you'll probably never see them. Nevertheless, I have composed a short story featuring some of the new AOL Instant Messenger Smilies as told by me in the oral tradition of our ancestors^*.

Chefelf: "Hi, I am a Sad Pirate."
Chefelf: "I am a sad boy."
Chefelf: "And I'm the American flag."
Chefelf: "The terrorist attacks on my nation have made me full of grief."
Chefelf: "But soemtimes I get so angry!!!!!"
Chefelf: "Don't let your rage be your guide!"
Chefelf: "Oh hi, The Earth's Sun."
Chefelf: "Anger. Agression. Revenge. These are the path to evil and darkness!!"
Chefelf: "I never looked at it that way, before!"
Chefelf: "I should be at peace. Only then will I be truly happy."
Chefelf: "You've made me a very happy celestial body, indeed!"
Chefelf: "Thanks, Mr. Sun!"
Chefelf: "No problem, Old Glory."
Chefelf: "... oh and one more thing!"
Chefelf: "What's that, Mr. Sun?"
Chefelf: "Next time, YOU pick up the check!"
Chefelf: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Chefelf: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

^* Not really.
