Time to lose the Christmas smilies

Provost Harrison · January 3, 2001, 07:16

Well, christmas is long gone. Just in case anyone has forgotten, we still have the smilies with their little hats and all...can we change them back at some point?

Narck · January 3, 2001, 08:03

Usually they stay from 10-14 days before till 10-14 days after Christmas....

We'll see when they take them off

Iain Lindley · January 3, 2001, 10:06

Not until Epiphany... (?)

Shadowstrike · January 3, 2001, 11:11

Strangely enough, I find the otehr smileys wierd now that I got used to the Christmas ones....

TCO · January 3, 2001, 11:18

They should stay on until Epipheny.

I doubt that we're going to get Hannuka smileys at any point, Builder

The Mad Viking · January 3, 2001, 16:24

I am King of the Great White North, where our national hat is the toque, and are colours are red and white.

And even I say- LOSE THE HATS!

Kumiorava · January 3, 2001, 16:46

Let's do something different this time...

Replace the christmas hats with big white turbans!

Lefty Scaevola · January 3, 2001, 17:45

I think we should keep the christmas hats until Lincolns birthday, then they can have stovepipe hats, Foral garlands at the vernal equinox, then on good friday then have a crown of thorns.

Naw, Apolyton is supposed to be non-biased (

), so can't do stuff from any particular religion. The christmas hats barely pass, as they promote a capitalist shopping frenzy season more than anything else.

The stovepipes might do, although someone would inevitably whip up a wave of anti-Americanism from that. Which I personally wouldn't mind, but one must follow protocol to avoid getting whoped with the banning rod...

The garlands are cool though. Flower power!

And don't anyone dare take this post seriously...

DarkCloud · January 4, 2001, 15:54

There are 12 days of Christmas. Christmas officially ends with the Three Kings on Jan 7th. So the smilies should stay a bit.

Chaos Warrior · January 4, 2001, 15:58

Three King's day, that's January 6, m8

The Mad Monk · January 4, 2001, 21:36

I say replace 'em with viking helms...

Sprayber · January 5, 2001, 01:18

Down with the christmas smilies.

Urban Ranger · January 5, 2001, 01:59

Viking helms. Now you're talking

Or those classic Greek thingies are cool too.

phoenixcager · January 5, 2001, 02:04

We're 19 days away from the Lunar New Year, so how about Chinese hats instead?

Bah, humbug

bah, humbug

WTF is bah, humbug???

Lefty Scaevola · January 5, 2001, 16:50

"Bah, humbug" is a phrase of two exclaimations by Scrooge in Dicken's "A Christmas Carol".
the "bah' is an exclaimation of general disapproval, like boo, hiss.
Humbug means a fraud or deceit, Scrooge's opionion of christmans festivities and the entire season of giving.

IIRC he utters the two words twice in a conversation with his nephew.
