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.

xscorpx is a shortened version of scorpius as for the x's either end someone else had got to sign up at wc with the handle scorp GRRRRRRRR dam theif , scorpius is a character out of farscape & wears leather including a freaky leather mask (see picure @ bott left after clicking on link),it's the only handle i ever use for the past 4 years tho in the first two years i preferred to spell it scorpious
Scorpius works for the Peacekeeper military, but only so far as working for them serves his purposes. His single-minded mission: to develop a means to control the creation, and travel possibilities, of the natural space phenomenon known as wormholes. His development of the Aurora Chair was a major coup and he uses it no matter how cruel it might be to his advantage. His primary mission now is to find Crichton, because the secret to wormhole technology may be locked in the human astronaut's mind, placed there by the race known as The Ancients.

My nickname is inspired by one thing: the definition in a dictionary........:::: sub·lime /səˈblaɪm/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[suh-blahym] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation adjective, noun, verb, -limed, -lim·ing.
–adjective 1. elevated or lofty in thought, language, etc.: Paradise Lost is sublime poetry.
2. impressing the mind with a sense of grandeur or power; inspiring awe, veneration, etc.: Switzerland has sublime scenery.
3. supreme or outstanding: a sublime dinner.
4. High up.
5. Archaic. a. of lofty bearing.
b. haughty.
6. Archaic. raised high. Alot of my peers think its based off the infamous Long Beach Band whoes lead singer died of a heroine OD (Bradly Noell)
dont get me wrong, Sublime was my favorite band since highschool but no correlation between them and my nickname........I first heard of this word when i was watching Aladdin and the King of Thieves back when i was fairly young (6 or 7 years old)

Yeah, I heard of it when I was quite young also. My father often commented that I went from the sublime to the ridiculous, mostly because I would go to extremes to pull off a practical joke in some kind of spectacular or supreme fashion.
Oh yeah, even at 5 or 6 I could lay the most intricate plans to execute rather hilarious practical jokes, and whilst my father was required to mete discipline to make me think twice about doing it again, I could still see underneath it all that he rather admired well laid plans, a bit of ingenuity and perfect timing for the best result/great impact.
At 16 I worked for my father and uncle as a builders labourer, and often it was like I was back in my earlier childhood, being there were frequent practical jokes across the site. Hehe, this is how I'm sure dad admired my pranks, he and my uncle would often duplicated prior stunts of mine as payback to other work gangs who dared pull one on us. Yeah, they treated me like an adult, and expected me to work like one as well, and on Fridays we'd knock off a bit earlier to go to the pub for a scrumpy (a rather potent alcoholic cider) or three, but still it seemed sometimes like they were even bigger kids....more sublime than I ever was.

Uh... I like pugs...and I am a boy.
I also enjoy programming on my TI-84+, so hence the pug on the calculator.
