Those of you in the SF Bay Area may have noticed that Herb Caen has discovered the little smileys that computer-people use in e-mail, and has been both using them in his column and collecting interesting ones.

Some ones I hadn't seen before (mixed with a few I made up):

:-D	very happy
:-{	very sad
:-I	vexed
8-0	incredulous
B-)	Gary Larson glasses
S:-}	Dudley Do-right
[:-)	M.C. Hammer
7:-)	Reagan
/:=	Hitler
%:*D	Bozo
O:-)	Jesus
}:-)	The Devil

And, if you turn them over:

(-:P	Beaver Cleaver
(-:]P	Spike Lee
(-:?	Elvis
(-:C	Viking
(-:K	My Favorite Martian
(-:E	King Hussein
(-:B	Felix the Cat

And here's some more from Benjamin Vander Jagt, using extended ascii:

ò_ó	angry
ó_ò	concerned
ô_ô	somewhat surprised
