What exactly is the b^) face? Smily staring cyclops? If it's an emotion, it escapes me.

Looks like a side profile, with glasses

Could be a misspelled B^) which looks more like a smiley with a nose.

That seems possible. I'm not so up on my smileys as I might be.

My right eye is missing and I wear an eyepatch.
