Well I gotta tell ya, some of these personal icons are awesome. Jinn Fizz and Stupendous Man are two of my favorites. I'm interested in the meaning behind them. To some it just looks cool, to some there may be some history. Also, I think I know why BoXXi's is a box, but I don't know why he's BoXXi. What makes Corky_O Corky? Why does butch have a 123 and a motorcycle? What's a Jafo? Why did sbgFX kill the Spyder?

So if you got a minute, tell us why you chose your nickname and what, if anything, your icon represents.

I won't go first this time. Someone else.

Two posts of identical information cannot occupy the same thread space without altering the spin state of the Sleeping Dragon... something along those lines...

I bet I'm the saddest and most pathetic....I have mine tattooed on my shoulder.


Hardly....reminded of mine every time I look into the bathroom mirror....not a pretty sight. .....and every time I see a cat.

As for the cantankerous kitty, believe it or not, well he lived to the ripe old age of 19.4 (human years), and died in his sleep about 6 years ago. Despite the embarrassment he caused me, I WAS rather attached to Frog, the name given to him by my 'then' wife, who got it from a character in How the West Was Won, with James Arness.
