Since gog does not have Smiley system yet I thought it might be nice to show others various ways of making your own emotes.
Some of you may be the sort that has the ability to make those nifty Bunnies and such; that is not me. Here is my basic usage, and one I made up (well at least I think I did since I never saw it anywhere first).
Here are 3 I use normally (well the first two anyway).

I have yet to see a graphical representation in a smiley form of ^&^
they should also do a :(|&|)
