Hey Ryan (and everyone else), for future reference, if you want to post a syntax in the forums but you don't want the board to render it just surround it with [noparse] tags.
[noparse] :pimp: [/noparse] <--- I used double tags to make it not render those [noparse][/noparse] tags
Works on everything, like IMG tags for example.
