When smileys are not enough

Most of the world sees us as that strange people that hides himself behind some letters, but come on!, what's wrong if I/we like the text mode?.
There is only 1 wrong spot, when our smileys are not good enough. We can be happy :)
or sad :(
, worried :/
, kiss :*
, sunglasses mode on B)
. In fact, most of times we can express our happiness \o/
or worry /o\
, even make some questions o/
.
But the trends are moving fast and stuff like :thumbsup: or :like: is not easy to say, so we have to make up our own way to say that it's ok, once ob
or twice dob
.
Imagination always wins.
