This image might be many people's response to mootpoint's series. The answer has nothing to do with his, though.

"WTF", Dude? LOL Could be the question mark... Just kidding, Joe. I have no idea. Thanks for the puzzle.
#3: Nancy (nbarsi) on Jan 2, 2012 [SPOILER]
C? nope haven't the foggiest. But like the puzzle.
#4: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 2, 2012
Is it OMG?
#5: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 2, 2012 [SPOILER]
LOL, nope to either C or OMG.
#6: Tom King (sgusa) on Jan 2, 2012 [SPOILER]
And it isn't WTF? If not, that was a pretty good guess and to the best of my ability on code puzles....
#7: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 2, 2012 [SPOILER]
The image is WTF, but what's the next in the series?

[HINT]
It is a common series that everyone knows.

SSM--days of the week?
#9: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 3, 2012
Good one.
#10: Alicia Snyder (prinny) on Jan 3, 2012
hehe.. nice one :)
#11: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 3, 2012 [SPOILER]
Yup, days of the week it is. I noticed this when filling my father-in-law's pill minder a few years back.

Good one Joe

Thanks, Teresa & Susan.

@ Gary - would you have me start it as MTW or SMT? With numbers (and letters to a lesser extent), there is a definite starting point, but the "beginning" of weekdays is completely arbitrary.

Actually, a continuation of a series does not depend on beginning at the beginning. If I said "what comes after 152, 153, 154?", very few people would doubt 155 is next.

Notability is also important. Given EMJ, the next is more probably "S" for Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn than "A" for Electronic Medical Journal of Australia (which is not even a proper list...)

What would the WTF in W* T* F* Over stand for?
#16: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 8, 2012 [SPOILER]
It should be a B, as the obvious pattern is OMGWTFBBQ
:D
#17: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 8, 2012
