Personal Icon and Nickname meaning

Published on January 21, 2005 By Sleeping Dragon In WinCustomize Talk

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.

I think the staff here at wincustomize should have a photo and avatar of themselves dressed in the same, proper uniform.

The story behind my nickname is a long-alcohol-enduced one (I get a hang-over every time I remember

)
The 67 is the year I was born. The avatar is the logo of my self-entitled theme

I picked my nick because no one else was using it.

Great story. Most likely the cat was irritated at the bother.

I envision an avatar that shows someone mooning with a screen door pattern imprinted on the bum.

Double Zero?? If I told you I would have to kill you... LoL that is a short and not so sweet explanation of the nick...There is a bit more to it but unimportant really...

As for the avatar, just something I threw together because it seemed like the thing to do...

Why is Bichur a troll?

hmmm...cuz I'm short, green and live in a stump?

BTW. I'm not sure Sir B is a real troll-- there are instances of him being nice, even helpful, on certain threads-- right here, in this forum!

aw shucks...

SD... those avatars look good, so if it's ok with you, I'd like to use one of them? That first guy looks the part, tho the second might come into play if, by some feat of willpower and endurance, I happen to lose a bit of weight

I envision an avatar that shows someone mooning with a screen door pattern imprinted on the bum

Aimzzz...gave that some thought but our camera isn't up to taking panoramic or widescreen shots

And the only bother that night was my regaining entry...the 'sadistic' woman in question thought it hilarious, whilst viewing my compromised situation through the peephole and refusing to unlock the door. 'Twas not funny.....my modesty, hiding behind an agitated cat

There are 2 versions for mine: the official story and the other one. Officially, "Wizard", which is my real nickname in several Ohio cities, is just too common on the 'net. The avatar was a picture I admired and resized for my use.
The other story, as is all too often the weirdest because of its truth, is this:
A friend of mine was getting obsessively drunk after fighting with his girlfriend and soiled himself. I laughed at him and called him "The Sh*t Meister" and he in return called me "The Wiz Monster" for similar reasons. The names stuck to both of us from then on...
The avatar was a picture that reminded me of a plastic model I once built that looked very much like it.
I don't know where "The Meister" is now, as he moved away after he split up with his girlfriend, but I'll bet bucks to beers he still laughs about it yet.

Starkers, I just cropped those from images off the web, so they're yours unless you try to sell them
