Why is there no "Irony" smiley?
I admit I'm only a relative Newbie here, about 2 months & don't use the Smileys much, but I've noticed there is no Smiley for irony. A few times I've wanted to indicate irony, & either chose nothing or :sarcasm: which is not the same thing at all. Anybody else have this problem? How can we rectify this?

7. I like your Chili pepper ID page
I put Cayenne in EVERYTHING I eat (OK, not my cereal), and used to eat them off the bush raw when I walked to school everyday. :9

Have you ever BBQed alligator? :9

8. Yeah when I lived in Mandeville
My wife's from NO, met her when I lived down there. My neighbor was a Cajun, Decareaux, he taught me a lot. I love your graphics too, I wish I had your talent. Unfortunately Mitch "The Bitch" Daniels didn't take your suggestion for his paint job. I'm in Indiana now.

10. Lucky you!
... to be married to a New Orleanean. :D

I'm going to Mandeville next Monday to visit my dentist. When it was a sleepy little town 30 yrs ago, I used to catch crawfish right by the highway.

Mmm... CRAWFISH!

Those mud bugs look awful good. Can't get them up here at all.

But thanks for my new wallpaper.

2. Try Ask the Admins
This an excellent question, and they are great about picking up on good ideas like this one.

4. Wonder what that would look like.
I first envisioned an upside down question mark on top of a head.

5. Don't know
There are enough creative, intelligent people here to come up with something, I'm sure. I've been thinking about that myself, haven't come up with a good idea. Could certainly be useful though.

9. There isn't one because
Irony died on 911. Or at least that is what I read online. Don't have a link but several articles insisted that it was dead.

14. Might want to start the conceptualization process here:
dictionary definition of "irony"

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=irony

I'm thinking of one face looking into a mirror with a completely different face looking back.

15. I know what irony means
I'm just conceptually & creatively challenged.

18. Sorry, I knew you knew, it's just often helpful for me to see the
various definitions of words, when I'm thinking about how to use, or in this case visually conceptualize, them. Irony is a tough one because it's fairly abstract.

17. Close, but no cigar
Kinda like porn, don't know what it is, but I'll know it when I see it. Speaking of cigars, is that a cigar store indian?
