Homer

[Gwynedd Blue]

The MB is not an ideal form of communication, because we can't see each other's expressions or hear the tone of our voices. So just like Email our posts can be open to misinterpretation. However, smileys do help a lot in assisting us to express ourselves effectively. But misunderstandings do happen still. I have just been misunderstood in this sense - possibly because I have not been paying enough attention to the way others use Homer. So - to help me, can you tell me what Homer means to you and in what circumstances you use him.

Or you could do the same for other smilies.

Is this some sort of clever, wind up that's whooshing right over my head as I type?

I didn't misunderstand you, I was checking what you meant before I misunderstood you.

When I post something that seems stupid, I use to indicate that I meant it to seem stupid.

Perhaps I should use it more often.

This is a duff thread

When I post something that seems stupid, I use to indicate that - I meant it to seem stupid.

I also see him as a bit of a preacher - so I would use him in situations in which I could be construed as preaching - to show people that I know that I could be perceived thus and am not being too serious.

There was something definitely wrong with the transporter beam when they sent you down.

When I saw the title and the OP I was expecting a discussion on The Iliad and the Odyssey.

A bit slow off the blocks, old fruit. You are meant to have read every thread posted this morning.

Like being pulled through a hedge backwards - but for Homer that's forwards.
