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.

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

KingDaddyDave: My wife is handicaped and uses a power wheelchair. She is in the Red Hat Society, the one full of old ladies.. not the geeky linux one. She is the QueenMother of her chapter, called the LadyChatterlies, which is an online group. Husbands are usually "persona-non-grata" at RedHat Fucntions, but since I am pretty much her driver, assistant and all around "go-fer" the ladies in her group started calling me KingDaddy a few years ago and its stuck. I added the Dave to the end cause that's my name.

My nick came from me being the owner of a bearing company (Radial) as in Radial Ball Bearings and FX because the bearing I made for our website has some "Effects" in it that you wouldn't normaly find in a Ball Bearing. My avatar (Shrek Donkey) is because his personality and mine are so close to the same! So...walllaa we have RadialFX who is also an......ass! RAD

Instead of Kumbiya...Sing after me ya'll...
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
We gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.
Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarkana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.
Oh what a great movie...saw it the day it hit the theater(damn, that makes me feel old).
Great opening for explaining my nick. I have been in the car business in one way or the other all my life. Mechanic for 30 years (called technicians these days) and now I am service manager for two well known rent a car companys and my territory is South Carolina. My avatar is a cartoon drawing of me in a Mustang.

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
