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.

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,I know that full well.
Psalm 139, I have always loved that chapter.....

My nick is a combination of my initials, MJC, and the supposed secret organization that knows the real truth about UFOs. I really hope SETI hears something before I have to go. Seeing something amazing would be great too, no cookbooks please. Added the 7 for luck because someone already had Majic. A true space cadet.

My nickname is almost self-explanitory, if you have ever read about the Zodiac sign "Scorpio". I am very intuitive, and most of the time this interfere's with my ability to learn in technical terms. When I have to explain things, I tend to 'splain them in emotional terms.
I used to use IRC a lot, and I was known by two nics: gwargoyle and LarryDeLoungeLizard. I didn't figure gwargoyle would fit so much in with the atmosphere here at WC and Larry was just to long.
I am a man of opposites, and reading Sleeping Dragon's post, I can relate with him alot. The "logic" in a scorpio's logic is somewhat...elusive you might say. We are supposed to be driven by our emotions, and I am. I use this nickname in its contridicting meanings.
As for the avatar...I wizzed that up in about 3 minutes with the only graphics editor I had at the time: MSPaint, because I see everyone (except a few) has one and I just can't be left out.
I really like this thread, very interesting. I had my guesses about a few of you...Corky, JAFO I already knew from my father's experience in a helicoptor in Vietnam. Aufisch had me guessing she was a German male...aufisch having a colloquial meaning of "in, about or around". Thought maybe she was a German guy who beats around the bush.
Now I know better... 
And JinnFizz...well I figured her for a lady who likes her Gin. Sorry for that!
Well, thanks for reading. Have a nice day and happy skinning!

I use this nickname for pretty much everything, and it comes from a line in an Incubus song. I liked the line ("with that ambiguous look in your eyes") and it is the ninth track on the album; I thought 9ine looked cooler than nine.
I'm not big on avatars of any sort, so I don't have one.

Wow, looks like I came in on the tail end of this one. Anyway...
My nick is my initials:
SMBII = SEMBETU... it's just simple phoenitcs. Came up with it when I was a DJ, and it stuck, plus it was easy to get e-mail addresses with it because nobody had that name for real.
My avatar... First initial.
Reading this it kind of seems narccissistic... hmmm. Need to think about this one.

1st or 2nd Corinthians......I can't remember which. But it's true. I give God the credit, but rarely anyone else. My wife would be the first one to tell you that humility is not one of my virtues as I so seldom use it. "Endeavor to Persevere"
