=8) - Nerdboy smily

 .. maybe the best is : >;)  .. it's a devilish grin/ naughty wink .. but then
again the "common" man might not recognise that.

a simple ;) looks good.

Personally I never really cared for smilies with a - nose in it .. the smaller
version are both faster and cuter :)

I also used to use this  =)  alot .. but I just realised while diddled on that
very same smily that it's not a human smile .. its some sort of android .. check
this diddles out :

       ,   _
  \`. /  ,(_|
  (= )--|  _
  /,' \  `(_|
       `

Ofcourse you still have to turn your head

and I can make it walk too :
       ,   _
  \`. /  ,(_|
  (= )--| _
  /,' \ `(_|
       `
       ,   _
  \`. /  ,(_|
  (= )--|  _
  /,' \  `(_|
       `
       ,  _
  \`. / ,(_|
  (= )--|  _
  /,' \  `(_|
       `
Trying to rotate that 90 degrees failed , but I did create this nice mouse-head

  ,-=.     ,=-.
  \   \-=-/   /
   `-. | | .-'
      `-"-'

But doing a body for that failed at the first attempt .. meanwhile .. how about
this :

    ,-=.     ,=-.
    \   \-=-/   /
     `-. | | .-'
        `-"-'
        /   \ CJ
