Off topic but I always have trouble with a smilie ending of a curved bracket. How the hell are you supposed to make that work? I have a tendancy to go back through and rewrite stuff just so it looks nice.

A bit too similar to the eminem one I have to say.
Not the first time an idea has come into the same minds at the same time but the colouring is eerily close if it was.

sul: yeah, i often switch to square brackets to make the smilie work, but this is only iamcal; not worth the effort
