How ever did we function as a society before the text-based, smiley face emoticon came into existence?
How did people know when we were joking in an email or a text message?
How is that comedy ever existed without the :)?
Were we just considered rude neanderthals who made insensitive comments to people?

In the early days, we used "hahahaha" to indicate laughter in e-mails and (smiles) before the smiley emoticons came about. Anyone remember beepers? Ever get hit on your hip with a "143"? That meant "I love you." :) Ahhh, the good ole days!
Best ever- O(+> for Prince when he changed his name. For those who don't have a visual sense, rotate your screen 90 degrees clockwise. Oh, there it is. Prince's symbolic name and the title of his 1992 album known by his fans as "The New Album" for about 8 years even though there were seven other albums out in the interim.
