Lokuloku, the Immortal Toy Pig

Tired of waiting for your tiny teacup pigs to arrive? Or are you still in the six month long line? How about getting lokulokus for the time being? Squash the lokulokus and watch them regain their form. Not enough? Do it over and over again and be amazed as the pigs fatten up for your perverted pleasure. I've always wanted to squeeze the fat out of a pig. :)

Brand New Google Chat Emoticons! (no one has seen them yet!)

My bad folks. Remember when I said that Google didn't add any more emoticons along with the new smiley sets? Well I was totally wrong. Turns out that those sneaky Googlers had some free time on their hands and churned out a few more emoticons for us to erm... express ourselves. Like many of their wonderful emoticons, these brand new smilies are undocumented and are not mentioned anywhere in the official listing.

No worries though, I got my hands dirty and painstakingly uncovered all of them bit by bit. I'm pretty sure that this time I nabbed all of them, but I could be wrong (again). Before I reveal them to you, however, let's look at the current known list of Google Chat emoticons.

Translations: Spanish.

Classic	Round	Square	Key Combination
Heart/Love	Heart/Love	Heart/Love	<3
It's a monkey!	It's a monkey!	It's a monkey!	:(|)
Rock out.	Rock out.	Rock out.	\m/
Shocked	Shocked	Shocked	:-o
Grin	Grin	Grin	:D
Frown	Frown	Frown	:(
Angry	Angry	Angry	x-(
Cool	Cool	Cool	B-)
Cry	Cry	Cry	:'(
Equal Grin	Equal Grin	Equal Grin	=D
Wink	Wink	Wink	;)
Straight Face	Straight Face	Straight Face	:-|
Equal Smile	Equal Smile	Equal Smile	=)
Nose Grin	Nose Grin	Nose Grin	:-D
Big nose wink	Big nose wink	Big nose wink	;^)
Nose wink	Nose wink	Nose wink	;-)
Nose smile	Nose smile	Nose smile	:-)
Slant	Slant	Slant	:-/
Tongue	Tongue	Tongue	:P

The list below was the first undocumented set of smileys that I've discovered. It has since been updated to include the new emoticon designs that were introduced by Google a few days ago.

Classic	Round	Square	Key Combination
Cowbell	Cowbell	Cowbell	+/'\
Crab	Crab	Crab	V.v.V
Devil	Devil	Devil	}:-)
Equal sad	Equal sad	Equal sad	=(
Equal slant	Equal slant	Equal slant	=/
Equal tongue	Equal tongue	Equal tongue	=P
Nose sad	Nose sad	Nose sad	:-(
Smile	Smile	Smile	:)
Wince	Wince	Wince	>.<
Nose tongue	Nose tongue	Nose tongue	:-P

But wait! That's not all the smilies in Google Chat. There are actually a few more hidden emoticons that no one knows about yet!

Classic	Round	Square	Key Combination
Pig	Pig	Pig	:(:)
Broken Heart	Broken Heart	Broken Heart	</3
Kiss	Kiss	Kiss	:-x
Kiss	Kiss	Kiss	:*
Mustache	Mustache	Mustache	:{

Did I miss any emoticon? Show me below!


Edit: It appears that some of you can't see the newer Google Chat, which means no new smilies for you. :( Fortunately, I've discovered a simple fix!

If you can't see the new emoticons, here's what you need to do.

1. Login to Gmail.


2. Click the Settings link sitting in the top right hand corner of your screen.


3. Change your display language to English (US) as shown below.
   
   


4. Scroll down and click the Save Changes button.


5. Wait for Gmail to reload and enjoy!

Caveat: If your friends are still using the older Gmail, they'll probably see only the Classic emoticons instead of the round/square designs.
