It's annoying when you want to put a smilie face inside parenthesis (but then it just looks like it has a double chin : )) amirite?

I don't see why you would use a smiley in parenthesis, but I'll just YYA it for the double chin .

If you feel the need to use smilies in parenthetical text, are you really using good English?

When I have a smiley in parentheses, I use a bracket for the mouth (actually, I do that anyways).

I tend to use the D face in that case. (It works pretty well :D)
