Rabbit Hill posted:That's a Tastykake, my friend, a brand of cakes and sweets local to Philadelphia, PA, and the nearby states. Goons...cakes...the connection spells itself out. To elaborate on that, whenever a Philadelphia Flyer scores a goal, Tastykake gives the player a case of Tastykakes to the player to donate wherever he wants them sent. So a goal call for the flyers would sound like "Giroux shoots and SCORES!!!!...(stuff about the goal)...Claude Giroux scores for a case of tastykakes." The Tastykakes smiley is generally used in the SAS hockey threads when the Flyers are playing.

People wanted modular smilies so you could build things like giving a high five to  without having to actually make new smilies every time. poo poo got...a bit out of hand.But whatever. It's useful because then you can put together something like that, where you're horrified at the thread you're reading but can't look away, so you reload constantly, and smith is all like "I feel you, bro." I think there was actually some kind of reason for doing this modular stuff but I forget what it was.

The smilie code (punto) comes from Nick Punto, a pretty lovely player lauded for "hustle" and 'playing the game the right way," and one that infuriated moderator Gendo during his time playing for the Minnesota Twins.  - The smuggest Oriole you ever will see.

Then Lowtax deleted a few, and the author of  emailed him bitching about the fact that the smileys page said "the smileys would be there forever" and Lowtax deleted the smiley for apparently no reason, and he wanted his money back.
