off topic as is often the case

what is the deal with that icon you're using there?

And what's the question, exactly? How it is made? - plain vanilla blend of my main one and this wording, no catch here. Or you ask why this particular userpic was used and not the other? This I can't even tell to myself; I mostly use the my main one, but sometimes I *pause* for a sec and decide to use another one, hover over my list and pick 'the one' for the post. No big deal.

no no

why did you make it? what does it mean? or whatever

gosh, that's the question; it was ages ago when i made this one. now, if i remember, in the old interface the picture like that (dimmed userpic + this wording) used to appear when you tried to post a new posting. I took this idea and made a userpic resembling it.

you may not notice, but for example i use my cynical camel for critical postings, and mad cow for somewhat 'lyrical' ones; i guess my use of this one correlates with the postings where i can't or don't want to assign my 'judgment'

it's good to see other people care about their icons. we've been doing this for a long time, so they were bound to eventually be important to us.

all my images are now very old to me, but i still think of each as a little special, and i still can explain what kind of entries most of them are generally intended to accompany.

this is my high five icon. i use it for friends or when good people do good things.
