The June Navy Lounge thread in GiP wanted a Navy Chief (NCO) smilie. Fat and always has a coffee cup.

Oh. Now I get it! :downs:

:iw: What about this one? I feel like I should understand, but I just don't get it.

Its the infinity ward logo (creators of the modern warfare series.) Falling over with I think Robert bowling's face, the creative designer.

Its similar to :dice:, which is the battlefield company.

Yeah, but why?

I don't know if anyone's explained this one yet, but I would love them to.

I kinda love how downsgun gets into the uhaul, but suicide doesn't.

The thing is that not only do people take him seriously, they agree with what he's saying.

The thing is he's on a news network and plays himself off as someone with valid opinions :colbert:

I want to know how Agesilaus managed to get this :allears: Someone, quick, tell me why!

Forget in jokes, I want to know what the gently caress is going on in this porn.

I'm not quite certain, but this looks to me what someone outside of SA would say Gooncamp was about.

But that would be silly.

It's been around for about 2 years I think. I don't think it came from a particular source, people just got sick of nerds sperging out over their THOUSAND TIMES FOLDED HANZO STEEL and it became a mockery thing.

I thought the technique for this was lost a long time ago :psyduck:

I believe you're thinking of the technique for making Damascus Steel. As far as I know people are still making katanas the traditional way in Japan right now.

Ayup. That would be me being silly :blush:

It's been around for about as long as I have, since I remember seeing it the first time I looked at the smilies list and thinking about how great of an emoticon it is. :stonk:

It gets exceptional use in the mock thread whenever the people there stumble upon something that horrifies them to an extreme extent.

I believe it's the avatar used by Choochacacko, the current developer/maintainer of the forum code.

I just read his profile. He must be the master of the code, seeing as how it claims he's made 341 posts in one day after registering in 2038.

Why is the TV Troper smilie wearing what appears to be a lampshade? :tvtropes:

The inherent greatness of this smiley is that the question asked was "Why is there a lampshade on it" and not "Why the hell is he saying rape over and over?"

It just...speaks for itself, really :buddy:
