Ok, I know everyone else has maybe thought about this, thought, 'Eh, if I can't get it the normal way, it doesn't count. ' and just went on with their day or something.

Now I don't want anyone to think I'm stupid for not realizing the OBVIOUS solution to this dilemma, 'Just shut up about it', but there's these few smileys that have been irritating me not only because they're good smileys I can't figure out how to get, but how other people have them too.

These smileys are known as Contest smileys.

Now, I know there are a few, like the Fox, Night Vision and that dude with the beard that I never remember his name(Sensei or something?), but some contest smileys, like the Bird and Bunny, just aren't in the shop at all.

Listed in the smiley list on the Wikia website for EE as 'Obtained from Contest', these smileys appeared briefly in the shop before disappearing at the end of the season and simply not reappearing until the lucky souls who got them would use them. They don't even appear in Classic Smilies.

Now, excuse me for my rant(I might go and have a coffee break ), but I just couldn't get over this. Please tell me why this happens and how to get these rare smileys, because I couldn't help but ask.

That and this is my first forum post.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go play EE. Seeya
