It could just be my computer/connection, but the emoticons are showing up as words rather than pictures.(It's kind of funny actually - people have random words tacked on to the end of their posts.)
That'll happen when your browser for whatever reason fails to download the images. The words are the alt-text.
Is that why your avatar still isn't showing up here?
You know, that image is easily 10 years old at this point. I should maybe change it.
Well, if you couldn't do that with your bulls***, Leonard, I suspect the lad's impervious.
I was in YouTube vids? Wackass.
