Why is this emoticon called "Portnoy"? What did I miss? Are emoticons being named after after members (or vice versa)?

Actually, maybe that would be a fun idea?

Only two are named after members AFAIK (Tomasso rolling his eyes and the Portnoy slayer). If you use an emoticon in every other post, you may get rewarded with your own image tag. I'll start using this under-rated smiley

from now on, in the hope that my name will one day be attached to it

There is some dispute as to whether the slayer is properly named the Portnoy, as the dearly departed Arnold Horseshack was the first to use it liberally. Once Mr. Horseshack learns some grammar and is reinstated, he may attempt to reclaim it.

I suppose the "Tounge" emoticon was titled after a member who had a name very similar to the word "Tongue" then?

The "tounge" emoticon was named back in the days before people who wrote forum software knew how to spell...
