Personal Icon and Nickname meaning
Friday, January 21, 2005 by Sleeping Dragon | Discussion: 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.

That's Me! Found this pic of a cute lil kitty....face reminded me of the look I got as several kitty claws found themseves on a collision course with my groin
Sorry, SD, that I changed the one you got for me, it's just that this one seemed more appropriate. Well we couldn't have a true representation of a starkers here, now could we! Frogboy & the admins would have been inundated with 'YUK" emails.
Also changed my honorific....didn't want people thinking that 'citizen' meant I was a resident of a nudist colony. At least being a Sir means I can be starkers with a bit more class

Mine's easy: "Lord" because it's pretentious as all hell. 
"Ibuprofen" because I'm a night-shift manager at a medical lab, with 25 employees below me, at varying levels of emotional/mental maturity. A large bottle of Advil is ALWAYS on my desk, and gets reached for at least once a night.
My icon's a star-of-chaos (which I also have as a tattoo), and I need to put it up on here.

My answer is simple, This is my grandbaby "Bailey Marie". Thanks to Fairyy~ for making my icon because without her help I wouldn't have one. I love my grandbaby more than anyone can imagine. She is so beautiful, and I am glued to her all the time. My nick name is not on here, I don't like anonimity, I like to be real and am real. I don't think people should be allowed to hide on the internet. Nicknames are fine but everyone should be willing to show who they are and maybe there wouldn't be so many out there who can hide behind their nicknames when they are really someone you wouldn't want your kids or anyone else talking to. You can also use a nickname, and different info to gain access to just about anything. I refuse to hide.

Well everyone has all these neat stories, so how's this for original thinking!
cplair is really my name Curtis Plair. Most people don't take me serious when I tell them my last name though!
The avatar designed by my bud Mike Watts symbolizes a man with his mask removed, an open book, a sign of good faith and genuine trust.
And with a last name like mine, I need all the help I can get!

My name comes from a story I heard on a football(soccer) radio phone in show.
As any Brits here will know there is a famous football coach (now retired) called Sir Bobby Robson;formerly coach of Newcastle United and the English national team.
He's an old fella now but he has always had a reputation for forgeting players names or getting them mixed up with their team mates.
Now,where I come from(Newcastle) he is something of a hero and one Saturday he was doing a book signing at a big shopping mall in Newcastle city centre.Hundreds and hundreds of adoring fans turned up,books in hands eager for his signature.
Anyway,a young lad and his Dad waited hours and eventually came to the end of the que.Making smalltalk as they reached the head of the que the young lad asked (Sir) Bobby Robson if he had enjoyed his day signing books and asked if he had signed many.
Sir Bobby replied "Oh yes son,it's been great and I've signed hundreds of books", and proceeded to sign the boy's book.The boy and his Dad then left,proudly clutching their signed book.
Later that night when they arrived home the boy rushed in to his house,book in hand and proudly opened it to show his mother his sporting hero's signature,it read....
"Good luck for the future,all the best,Bobby Hundreds".

Well, I probably replied to this long ago, but I have a new icon now.
Every year I create a logo for myself. My icon is my 2007 RPGFX logo. It's a star, obviously, but strategically cut to also resemble an "R"...
