You've probably seen others use smilies before in email messages or other bulletin board posts. Smilies are keyboard characters used to convey an emotion, such as a smile or a frown . This bulletin board automatically converts certain text to a graphical representation when it is inserted between brackets [].  Here are the smilies that are currently supported by Parrocchia di Gurone:

smile [:)] big smile [:D] cool [8D] blush [:I] tongue [:P] evil [}:)] wink [;)] clown [:o)] black eye [B)] eightball [8]

frown [:(] shy [8)] shocked [:O] angry [:(!] dead [xx(] sleepy [|)] kisses [:X] approve [^] disapprove [V] question [?]
