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.

If you don't know the meaning of my nick, you've either lived a sad, sad life in front of the PC, or you've just arrived from a the different planet....

Why I use it:
I got it from my alltime favorite movie Smokie and the Bandit.
I see those of you knowing the movie, nodding and go 'aaaha. ok'

For those who don't know the movie (whatch it, damn it!!)
In the movie there's a trucker. His charactername i Cleetus Snow aka Snowman
Back in my young(er) days, I used to be freeking crazy about trucks, big rigs, anything with more than 10 wheels had my attention (Heck, I still wet my pants whenever I hear an old Scania "boot up")
So what more natural for me to do when I had to pick an online username but to pick 'Snowman'.
Been hanging on to it for well over 10 years now


is my forumpost 'footprint'

(Surfing snowman) has been my avatar since before 'Jafo was a laddy'

I love weather.

Everyone who knows me always ask the question. Whats the weather going to be today or is it going to snow today ect....

I added the Bound because I am always looking for interesting weather.

Weather is one thing humans have no control over.

My original Avatar was a picture of a tornado in the fields. but has changed to my current one do to a post in the forums on Avatars.

My new Avatar is me looking through the window at the Lightning storm.

There for WeatherBound
