important new emoticons.

i heart mcsweeney's big time and most of their articles give me an extended case of the giggles. like decorative gourd season? i've been laughing about that shit for months. i also happen to love emoticons, so this list has naturally been a real big hit with my eyeballz. i like it so much that this is just a straight copy-paste job, but you can see the real mcsweeney's article here.
