Ryan Meador will become famous soon enough
I, too, am a very sarcastic person. I always use :P to denote sarcasm. I know it's not a great fit for that smiley, but I learned it way back in the days of text-based BBS's and MUDs. All the comments with :P seemed sarcastic, so I associated it with sarcasm. Now it's second nature for me to use it... sometimes I have to stop myself when I'm writing a paper :P Oh, I also use it for kinda wry humor, like at the end of the previous sentence. In keeping with my test-based upbringing, I prefer smilies in their text form, not this devil's imagery! *clicks "Disables Smilies"*
