The story behind your Icon

mellymel	Date: April 4, 2002 @ 11:38 PM The story behind my icon goes as follows: My best friend Megan (attending school on the other side of the US at NYU ) gave me a present for xmas a few years back that contained this picture on top of the hand made decorated box. She told me that it reminded her of me. So what's your story?
Frawgster	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 12:11 AM Fozzie while playing Yahoo! pool. See if you can figure out what 'mlm' means :)" id="6899">The story(ies) behind my icon(s) My original icon was a frog that was sort of rubbing his hands together 'ala Mr. Burns from The Simpsons'. That one was particularly amusing. My others have varied, but they all have the same story. I'm always bored at work, so I sit there and toy around with Paint Shop Pro and Ulead PhotoImpact. Occasionally, I make a new icon. (Just a note, if you've ever seen any sort of symbol or sign on one of my icons, I didn't create it, it's a letter written in Wingdings/Webdings) Then there was my hatchet to the head/knife to the throat of Hilary Rosen. I think that one is fairly self explanatory. My current icon is, like many others, just a simple Wingding letter (Turned sideways, I think) on a gradient background I toyed with in PSP. The other part the 'mlm', well, I was inspired to do that by Fozzie while playing Yahoo! pool. See if you can figure out what 'mlm' means
mtbatol	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 12:24 AM 1. This is to represent that the pringle guy is my long lost albino twin brother 2. The pringle guy reminded me of this brotha who had a big head and thick mustache and everyone including me used to tease the hell outta him 3. Planning to get a new icon sometime soon
weaponzero	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 12:36 AM i dunno, i can't get mine to load :/
autarch	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 4:30 AM Heh, funny weap. Mine's me about to stomp on somebody's FACE!
autarch	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 4:31 AM Or did I just wake up? I can't remember. Can't wait to hear what creativetim has to say.
milladrive	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 11:26 AM These responses are crackin' me up. mt, that's funny. Weird thing is, every single logo of Pringles I've ever seen had a guy w/a lighter complexion. Was your pic modified to more resemble the guy you know/knew? Anyway, my eyecon has a long detailed history, written by Washington Irving.
Frawgster	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 11:29 AM What happened milla? Did you sleep for 20 years?
milladrive	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 11:33 AM heh. Actually, it was once owned by the Knickerbocker family.
utopiauk	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 1:00 PM Mine is me after I drunk a half bottle of Vodka last xmas
TEENSPIRITKID	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 2:34 PM I dont know how to get an icon?
creativetim	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 2:48 PM What is that suppose to mean mr. autarch! My icon is me 10 years ago, I was on tour in Luby's and I was just turning around with my dead sexy look and bam there's the picture.
backmann	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 8:11 PM Mine, very simple, no story at all. The other one I had for a relatively long time was a kind of a button or a star or something I really don't know, with my name on it.
theguppykillers	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 8:42 PM I drew this myself! It wasnt meant for the guppy killers it was meant for my solo career(victors skull)but then I made a more apropreite pic for vic and the guppy killers got the left overs! and I dont know how to draw a fish!

princess-angry	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 8:51 PM let's jam man!!!!
citizenjohn	Date: April 5, 2002 @ 11:50 PM Mine is a picture of Ewan McGreggor from Star Wars Episode 2 as Obi Wan. Im a huge Star Wars fan as well as a Ewan fan.
mellymel	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 1:16 AM Ewan is too fine!
Cryxan	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 8:08 PM I just thew something together to have an icon. One of these days I'll put together something cool...this one is not all that original. The C is cut out from some label, and the background came from an Adobe Illustrator texture liblary. I just played with the colors and gave the C a shadow.
Cryxan	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 8:10 PM Oops sorry it's another one of my bad spelling days. Maybe I can blame it on the three double 8-Balls I drank last night
morgdobwcpt	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 8:16 PM my lack of an icon reflects my laziness. w00t!
nigeldispatch	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 8:31 PM mine is a picture i took of myself and then i wrote my band group's name on it.
creativetim	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 8:34 PM Every time I see your icon (Cryxan) I think of Shrek!
creativetim	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 8:37 PM Bow to my new icon!! All of you!
mtbatol	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 8:37 PM heh, some of these pics crack me up. Milla's icon creaps me out because it constantly stares me down and rolls it's eyes after lookin at me and closes it's eyes like i done somethin and btw my icon i fiddled with one of those paint/photo programs
theguppykillers	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 9:11 PM hey wheres asskiller! I want here his story behind his picture of the cock icon!
creativetim	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 9:14 PM He was bored and he told his mom to stand still.
Cryxan	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 9:19 PM Why Shrek? (That's funny, I just watched that last night.) Just curious. Maybe it's the leaves? That's it. Must be the leaves.
creativetim	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 9:20 PM I have no clue. Its the green against the brown and the shape I guess.
draugluin	Date: April 6, 2002 @ 11:47 PM umm...its my name...in the middle of an abyss of blue oO.....I like making images....so yea....this is my hell spawn
pog	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 6:32 AM Mine was made by this animi dood I know. Took him all of 5 mins.... I just resized it.
pog	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 6:33 AM Makes me get motion sickness if I stare at it
Psycluded	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 9:58 AM Mine's a droplet of blood dripping from some blood-covered surface... [shrug] I got creative in photoshop and just resized it for here.
smelv1n	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 2:13 PM mines the evil monkey from family guy. i was at this family guy site a LONG time ago, and i saw this animated picture of the evil monkey, and i loved it, so i downloaded it, then a couple weeks ago, i noticed i coult upload my own icon, so i found that monkey picture, and made it the right size and transparent, and in the process ruined the quality and made it look like shit, but it's still an evil monkey shaking his arm pointing at stuff..
bhcop	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 4:29 PM do i have an icon??
bhcop	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 4:29 PM how do u get one
asskiller	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 5:52 PM a picture of a cock? heavens no. why... that is a microscopic image of an eardrum!
milladrive	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 5:55 PM heh
asskiller	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 5:59 PM you sick bastard
timwicaljr	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 6:40 PM Yes, I can actually see the tensor tympani muscle holding the malleus from rupturing the tympanic membrane.
asskiller	Date: April 7, 2002 @ 6:51 PM this man knows his eardrums.
backmann	Date: April 8, 2002 @ 12:05 AM Thanks CDC
creativetim	Date: April 8, 2002 @ 12:02 PM I've often wondered what it'd be like to have no taste and a small dick, asskiller?
timwicaljr	Date: April 8, 2002 @ 3:41 PM My god, I just noticed that my icon is a face and above it is surrounded by COCK!!! That can't be good for me or this happy music site.
mellymel	Date: April 8, 2002 @ 8:43 PM HAHHAHA!
nigeldispatch	Date: April 8, 2002 @ 9:34 PM its funny that you accuse asskiller of having no taste while you sport an icon encouraging the murder of a group of people based on the color of their skin.
mtbatol	Date: April 8, 2002 @ 10:12 PM
creativetim	Date: April 8, 2002 @ 11:17 PM It's called a line from a movie. (Blacksheep)
milladrive	Date: April 9, 2002 @ 9:31 AM Tim, just because it's a line from a movie or skit or whatever doesn't mean that A) everybody gets it, or B) it's not exactly what nigel said. Do you realize how many lines from movies we could come up with that would absolutely offend anyone who read them outside the parameters of the movie? don't even think about gettin' me goin' down that path. How 'bout we just go on the pretense that you can't stand the New York Yankees and that you'd like to kill Whitey Ford.
creativetim	Date: April 9, 2002 @ 12:23 PM Or how about I reign supreme over all!
milladrive	Date: April 9, 2002 @ 12:42 PM /me gets mouthwash
asskiller	Date: April 9, 2002 @ 5:58 PM KILL WHITEY!!! (ford)
timwicaljr	Date: April 9, 2002 @ 7:35 PM Maybe in a sick and twisted miss inturpetation "kill whitey" is a cry for school children to stand up and say "No!" to the use of elmers glue and other white colored pasting products.
