Personal Icon and Nickname meaning

from WinCustomize Forums
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.

Rated P.G.
"Perfect Gentleman/Pleasing God" I try to live up to both as much as I can. Depending on which one shows up on my post, the avatar is the Air Force Symbol or the Air Force Special Operations Command Symbol.

Its the AFSOC symbol. Wow I need to clean that up unless someone else is up for the challenge. As for the Rated PG, it was a logo I created for a tape of recorded songs I dedicated to a girl I took a liking to back in early high school years. I created an album cover including pictures, song lists credits, my imaginary record label, etc.

Hmm, BlueDev. Pretty boring story, so here is the short version. I had stopped by the site long ago, mostly as a lurker/leecher (I admit it). Downloaded some stuff, but not much. Later I picked up Galactic Civilizations. Registered it and started a new Stardock account (don't even know what I used for the really old on). Since I am (still, ugh) a student I just picked the quick and easy one, BlueDev (short for Blue Devils). The icon is just something I mucked up in the GIMP.

TasT designs/productions was a business name at one time and TasT was an Acronym. I got the name because people would call and ask for TasT and I got tired of explaining. But now the business has been sold and the acronym is no longer valid.

But, I'm still TasT! I don't think I could shake it if I wanted to.....

Wulfn1= Wulf + one.Me and Hubby.
Wulf because "wolf" was always taken, Wolf because wolves are my talisman.
Wolves are all about family,loyalty.chain of command, teamwork and endurance.A wolf will thrive in the pack,but can survive on it's own if need be.
I am all about family, loyalty,chain of command, teamwork and endurance.I thrive within my family, but have had to strike out on my own before and survived.
Strangely enough, I ended up with a disorder very similar to Lupus (so similar they thought at first it was Lupus). Funny how a nick I chose to represent the meaning in my life ended up being so closely tied to who I really am.
My personal graphic is my nick Wulfn1,stylized into my favorite chat signature (VvvV) the wolf's grin.and Green's my favorite color.

Okay mine is of the trek federation Why? It best describes me. I love science, space, oceanography, archeology, the unexplained, technology and the future so combinning all these I come up with the federation "TO GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE"



This is also why I'm here at the WC. because of computer advancement. I always look for something New, advanced and different.

Reply #60 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Does a Latin speaking cat sneeze differently? I learn something every day on this site.

Might want to get a new Photo. The lighting is not too good on that one.

never realized my previous icon was such a poor subconscious mimicry of the master's own; until I saw them side by side on another thread.

About five years ago in the wake of some major changes in my life I suddenly developed a very strong affinity for dragons - creatures of power, strength, loyalty and honor. Mountain because I live on the slopes of Mount Shasta. The avatar is a graphic from a photo of a figurine given to me by some good friends, and he's playing a guitar because I've been a guitarist for 35+ years.

When I first got my hands on a computer connected to the internet (after two minutes of the modem going beeep duuurh eeerph beeep duur etc. etc. each time) and started signing up on websites I used DrBrain as my nick. Can't remember any more why I choose that nick. Later on however I felt the urge for a change. I have allways been interested in strategy games and the old times, so I chose a nick that would fit within the games I played; Sir Thomas (SirThomas). However, later I adobted Sire Thomas (SireThomas) instead as I liked the sound of it better and less people had taken it. That was what I had initially signed up with as for WC. Then the last two years I've been planning my website for when I am finished with my studies and thought why present my self under a different idintity on the internet? So hence my current nick thomassen. All though I'd like my nick to be thomthom (derived from Thomas Thomassen), it was unfortunatly not availible.

The avatar was a abstract picture I made ages ago while playing around with Photoshop, version 5 I think..-

My new avatar has leaves in it because my backyard is just plain old woods, because I live in Maine, which is a mix Coniforus and Deciduious forest.

That's paht of da life in Maineahville.
Reply #74 from WinCustomize Forums Top
There have been some changes at WC, so I'm exhuming this. Why is Bichur a troll? Did the leaves leave Maine for Meowy? Why is Bash "Bash" and why spongeBob? There seems to be a Giger contingent too. Jafo's avatar has been 'refreshed', and blindbatty has a cat? Why not a Bat?
