I like this meme because it satisfies a lot of curiosity, dude. Ganked from almostnever and gairid:

We all like the pretty icons of other users, right? But sometimes, you're just foxed to the meaning of some of them. (Cf. saffronlie's "toast" icon) so, like, this meme is this: Pick one (or more!) of my icons that you're curious about, and I'll try to explain it, or why I picked that particular icon. Then post this in your own journal, because I more than likely have questions about yours.

Here be icons:

I know all about all your icons. Except maybe 'Luis' in the red hard-hat. Please explain.

Damn! You picked my Super Sekrit Icon!

*Shakes fist*

That is a screenshot from the Manic Street Preachers' If You Tolerate This... video. That's supposed to be one of the young Republican fighters in the Spanish Civil War, and is the embodiment of one of the characters in my novel o' d00m. I use it as a secret code to myself when referencing something I'll come back to later, or that I feel is pertinent to it.

Also, I love your new WTF icon. >:)

Oh... I see. Like how I used to have a picture of 'my' river and it was like my little novel reference except then I got rid of it to add cool icons like Louis saying WTF. And Matthew Newton. Hoorah!!

I love the Jesus on the cross brb/lol one. I saw another somewhere where Jesus is ascending to heaven doing the little Queen wave Blessing thing and the text says something like 'brb mortals!' . Blasphemy is always funny.

Now then, which ep is that pic of Fry from? (I love the one oof Jacklet, too. )

[rebness.livejournal.com]

The pic of Fry is from my very favourite episode of Futurama ever, The Luck of the Fryrish. Fry spends the episode looking for his lucky four-leafed clover (laminated) that he think his brother stole. Throughout, he goes on about how jealous his brother was, how much he hates him, how he sucks... and in the end, that turns out not to be the case. It's SO SAD and stuff. ;)

"BRB mortals..." eeheehe.

"Yeah But No But Yeah" :)

It's from the British sketch show, Little Britain. That there is Vicky Pollard, a nasty little chav who says those words.

...

I'm sorry. Johnny has rendered me powerless.

1 is the black rabbit from Watership Down?
2 What is the saddest Futurama ep that your Fry is from?
3 Is Jacklet really Jack or is it another dog that reminds you of him?
4 Tony B Liar is that from 2D tv?
5 Who is the blode in D00m?
6 What is that weird thing in the Keel icon?

I've taken it too far haven't I? Taken advantage of your generosity to answer questions

[rebness.livejournal.com]

1. That is indeed the Black Rabbit of Inle.
2. The Luck of the Fryrish. (See answer to gairid above.
3. That's a silhouette of Jacklet, so yeah. I was looking at him pretending to be all noble when I was sat at the computer. I just did a brief outline of him with the draw thing and coloured it in.
4. Tony B Liar is from a sketch in The Guardian. I like the flames around the devil man. ;)
5. Hector from Troy.
6. A weird piece of toast!

:D

It just has to be said-

Cities of Gold!

*is a child* :)

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Best. Cartoon. Ever!

(And to hell with what Channel 4 says!)

[pigeongirl99.livejournal.com]

And Dogtanian and Mr Benn and CITIES OF GOLD!!!

Was very disappointed.

What sexy creature made your SS icon? A sexy one?

[rebness.livejournal.com]

The sexiest friend ever, baby.

[mothergoddamn.livejournal.com]

Naturally.
