I'll start.



This emoticon is Glenda Morris. She used to be a model, advertising Hugo Boss and Dominos Pizza amongst other things.

In 1998, she started up a company specialising in arranging daredevil stunts for ordinary men and women called 'Joe Daredevil'. It became a huge success, finally allowing your ordinary, everyday person to take part in stunts that previously could only have been undertaken by qualified, trained, professional stuntpeople.

In August 2001 she started filming for a TV quiz show, in which contestants had to answer questions about Hungarian history in order to win the chance to take part in a dangerous stunt which would be televised to the nation.

Each week, Glenda would demonstrate the stunts that the winners would be performing on the following week's show.

This stunt was called The Slam and as you can see, involved a person dressed in a protective suit, and being shunted across the room with a device specially built for the stunt.

Unfortunately, the stunt went horribly wrong. The producers didn't take enough precautions before the show and didn't foresee the possibility of Glenda's eyes popping out and her ultimate blindness as a result of this stunt.

Needless to say, the show was cancelled. However, the footage of this emoticon acts as a warning to anybody that these sorts of stunts should only be performed by professionals and even then, proper precautions should be taken.

So, can anybody else give a background story to any other emoticons?

This emoticon is happy

Yes, but it's also Dave Mitchell - a mechanic from Alaska. This picture of him was taken at the moment he found out that he'd won the Alaskan lottery.

The grand prize of $42.50.

As you can imagine, it changed his life.

Shit, all that was in there? And i just thought it meant i was smiling. :LOL:

This is the trouble, you see. The emoticons are generally only seen as ways of emphasising your emotions on a post. Believe it or not, they've got personalities and pasts too. It's all too often that emoticons end up feeling depressed and sometimes suicidal, simply because nobody ever sees them as anything more than post decorations.

It's about time that we took a deeper look at them and their lives.

Mr.Nathan Green of Sweden 24yrs of age, is well known in his town for his unusually large winning smile.Which has landed him in the papers and a guest spot on tv.Hes currently doing stand up at the citys main hall,and set to star in his own reality show,staring his gf,friends and family.

Denise Rosetti Dante was told by her mama not to pull this face or her face would stay like that, she did and ever since that fateful day back in March she has had this expression

syd barrett...ex lead singer of pink floyd...syd took a LOT of acid back in the good old days...now he keeps himself amused by smacking his head with a hammer...sure, it's not quite as lucrative as fronting a world famous band... but he does get to poke his tongue out lots

Smokey McPot-

A man of very few words.(like "huh" "word" "mmhmm".."whats that?" .."can i come to?") but nevertheless very wise.

This is a shot from the rarely seen Bee Gees cartoon series 'ESP'.

In the show, Barry, Maurice and Robin fought crime in the city of Stayinalive by the power of telepathy and clairvoyance alone.

In order to summon their powers, they had to do the Bee Gee Rub, with Maurice and Barry rubbing Robin until their powers reached their full potential.

It was de-commissioned after only one episode, as parents felt that it was a little unsuitable for the under 12s.

Haystack said:

I bet Cloudbuster watches that episode every morning.

Christopher said:

Actually, he did the voice-over for Paedo The Clown in that episode.

Haystack said:

So thats why he wouldnt let me watch it

And this is Elvis.

Cartman lives in Southpark, USA. He has fun with his friends most EVERY week on national TV. He NEVER gets any older... he likes to ride his bike singing while collecting foetuses... and has grown a colony of egyptian sea monkeys with sperm...

...wait!! isnt this a real (fictional) story? I thought it sounded familiar...

This is Ted 'Clever fingers' Rogers. He is a german porn star. He is well known in the films that he stars in for his strumming ability on his female co-stars. Although prolific in his time, Ted has now retired his hands at the ripe age of 60 due to developing RSI and carpol tunnel syndrome. His hands now in permanent claw positions, he is considering a large offer from the porn company 'Twats + Cock Inc.' to start using his feet.

This is Gerry. He feels generally misunderstood in life. People think he is telling them to 'shut the fuck up'. But really, Gerry is a serial killer, bashing his bell end on a table that somehow doesn't show up in this picture of him. You catch him here at the end of a sentance and the start of another. He is speaking to his elderly mother, who is rather intrusive on his personal space. 'I have told you a zillion times to keep that door 'shut'. (mother closes door) (to self...) The fuck up penis! I need to come before I go out on the kill 2nite.' Gerry talks to his penis saying 'the fuck up' by bashing it on the table to become aroused. He is still at large.

This is Clarence. He is in his early thirties and a devoted fam of the NPG Music Club. He hopes that Prince will one day sell his farts in cans, since that´s the only thing missing before his collection is complete. Clarence knows that no matter what Prince will release next he will like it, so he is constantly nodding and smiling to show his support.

this is MC Funktits, the lone winner of the 1984 Jerri Curl's Kids Quadruple Amputee Breakdancing Contest. just give him a boombox, a large square of linoleum and some room. although he has no arms or legs, he can still pop-lock and freeze with the best of 'em. he was all set to go on tour with ready for the world and the fat boys back in '85, but a horrific freak accident rendered him crazy for life.

May I introduce God. God has always been. He finds it difficult to be understood and is generally shyed away from cos he is always looking. Although shown here in a static state, God actually is everything animate and non. This black and white shot was taken during his visit to a gig in the swinging 60's. It was the Beatles. He was only seen by those on LSD.

This is Byron. He once went by another name, but then he found love or God or both and stopped debating with people overnight. He has a sensitive soul and a sharp mind to go with it and he loves nothing more than the rose emoticon. One day he hopes to find time to start a web site devoted to selling pictures of himself wearing a red dress.

say hi to Sue Yellaface. you might not know her by her birthname...that's because she is well known in the porn movie circuit as Sasssha Hog Maws. she told a well-known tabloid about her supposed fling with prince back in the late '90s, especially the sexual escapades that involved her, prince, 2 cans of whipped cream, a squeegee, 5 dozen tarantulas and a stereo blasting the tom jones song "delilah" on repeat.

This is Jill. She is 28 years old and currently very happy. Before getting the job as the farting emoticon, she didn´t quite know what to do with her special skill. It was actually a bit of a nuisance since she would involuntarily break wind at every inopportune moment. She once did it in a restaurant so loudly that the waiter thought she had asked him something and came over to ask what it was. She also did it in bed a couple of times, one time letting her sexual partner have it right in the face with undesired consequences. Now she has perfected her craft and is able to do it on command. And she even gets paid for it. Life is good.

this is Arthur The Basehead. the muthafucka stole the 'welcome' mat from my front door and tried to sell it for a dime bag.

this is Mr. Mipples, the only feline org emoticon that is totally mobile. he gets the special treatment due to this...daily, he indulges in the finest seafood entrees from all over the world and plays with only the softest balls of yarn. he doesn't feel very welcome here, as he is commonly used to represent a vulgar epithet for a certain part of the female anatomy. but still, he keeps on walking all over the org, scratching all of the furniture and eating the potted ferns.

This is Pablo Juanito de Alma de la Guerra Sanchez Smith.

He lives in Mexico and was a consultant for the film "Once Upon A Time In Mexico", the third installment of the "Desperado" movies. He taught Johnny Depp how to properly eat a mexican meal before shooting the chef. He came up with the line, "are you a Mexi-can, or a Mexi-can't?" that Johnny speaks and Robert Rodriguez takes full credit for. He is now working on the 4th installment currently titled "Yet Another Desperado Mariachi In Mexico".

This is "Buddy" the glass of beer. That's it. That's my Buddy.

LMFAO at this thread! (I dared not use an emoticon...lol)

This little emoticon is in and has to keep runnin to the


GOTTA GO RIGHT NOW
