Zapppop created a new emoticon which I think should be included in the MP Smilie Gallery:

(With his permission, of course;) )

It's okay with me.
I think we need this one.
We ALL talk about fez' and how cool they are here on MP
Why not a simple Fez emoticon ?
It'll be fun !

I vote YES :)

I should be insulted by the name of this thread, but that little fez head is so darn cute!

I say YES!!!

...and note the tiny hidden mickey on the front of the fez !

it's pefect for MousePad !

YES!!!!! We wants the Fez Head!!!!!!!!!!!

A FezHead emoticon is clearly necessary for proper and expressive MousePad communications.

Having become symbolic of so many Disneyland, MouseAdventure and Aladdin-related sentiments and complex thought structures, the Fez-wearing emoticon would enable Padders to exchange ideas more expediently, and with greater understanding and tolerance for each other, and for all mankind.

I vote YES.

Even though I'm too young to vote, I say YES! ;)

I say Yez! I mean Yes! on the Fez! :D

We're discussing it.

I'm mostly sitting it out because, personally, I hate all smileys and think the world would be a better place without. Nothing makes me scroll past a post faster than seeing more than two of the darn things.

But I'm mostly alone in that view.

We'll let you know when a decision is made.

An emoticonless post is like.............a book.

:) :D :cool: Did you see that? Alex just scrolled past my post.

This post here so that I can scroll past the previous one.

I have a question. Emoticons are supposed to be a "shortcut" for expressing an emotion (e.g. happy, sad, confused), thus the name. What does the fez head "mean"?

Well, you sure end up with one after wearing a fez all day!:eek:

So if I want to say something I don't want you to read all I have to do is surround it with smilies?

I agree that emoticons have a purpose of conveing a "meaning" or "emotion" that can't be easily convied in print. So while the Fez head is cute, unless it has a meaning that the majority of the pad would get, I see no use in it.

I get the connection, just not the emmoticon meaning. Now "FZ" for "Fez Head" may work as well.

By the way, I've seen people post with home-made emoticons before. Is that ok? I didn't see any reprimand, so I assume it is. Just wondering.........

It means you love Aladdin and riding Autopia !
It's a step above " :D " . It's like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious !

I guess you could say that this particular emoticon represents a happy mousepadder since wearing a fez and having an AP is loosely associated w/ being a member of mousepad.

Now who on Earth would do a silly thing like that ?:p

YKYATMPW:

You're IMing another staff member, you say something that makes him feel happy, and he replies: :fez:.

The Fez Head has a number of nuanced meanings:

It can mean "cool" - but a silly, maybe geeky kind of forced "coolness". So the "Fonz" would deserve the standard sunglasses "cool" emoticon. Richie Cunningham trying to be the Fonz, would get the Fez Head.

So, a bunch of Disney Geeks, doing Disney-geeky-things would qualify for Fez-headed coolness - an example being getting abunch of MPers to ride Autopia while wearing Fez.

There is also the Aladdin & Jasmine tie-in as Zapppop mentioned above. so you could say, the new Jasmine is hot, I give her 5 Fez heads (thus ensuring that Alex skips over the rest of the post as you further discuss her hotness)

Another important feature would be that the Fez Head, would be a Mouse Planet exclusive, so anyone with a Fez Headed post would have to come to MP to fully realize the power of this communicative tool.

Last night. Pirates. Group of 10.

"We wants the Fez Head"

One very confused Moderator.:D

New motion.

What about a crab head!!

I'd pass on the Crab head - but a spooky face would be cool - like the Skull on IM

Bwahhahahahaha
