:lol: <=This little guy

I do because of how it just pulls up it top lip like that, and it freaks me out a bit. I'd like a laughing Smiley thank you, not one that could enter a talent contest!!

To me it looks more like an "awkward laugh" than "lol"

It reminds me of what horses do when they laugh..and yes, they do laugh. I have seen very amusing footage of horses doing that with their lips. :lol:

In my internet youth, I used to think 'lol' meant 'lots of love' which really confused me :P
