What's with all the Iconics?
How did this become so over whelming? You read a thread and are almost garenteed to see "Iconic Monkey", "Iconic Flesh Wad", "Iconic Life Sized Pink Fuzzy Bear", "Iconic Foam Hand". I know that the "Iconics" have been around since 3e came out but does everybody need to be and "Iconic Biped"?

It's all in good fun, but feel free to feel puzzled by it. If I had more talent I'd make an Iconic Cow sig & avatar like gamecat did. Would that be wrong? Would anybody care?

Iconics are over-rated.

You just want to be the Iconic veri-tech pilot, don't you?

That's what this thread really about.

It's just a nice way to tell a little about your personality.

And since I seem to be the only punk rocker on the boards, I swiped it for myself.

I could be Iconic Surf Punk?

Being a surf punk is tough in f-ing Kentucky.

Which is why I'm moving to San Diego or Los Angeles, ASAP!

And as far as I know, Iconic simply means the epitome of. Such as, Johnny Knoxville is the Iconic Jackass, etc.

Edit: Typing am hard!

Not a clue. And the quote, I believe, is "Luck is just one of my many skills."

Hal made a thread about Iconics, and suddenly everyone was thinking up what sort of Iconic they were. Like me, the Iconic Number. Of course, technically, it should be the Iconic Small Number, but that's not important.

When they grow large, they never try to pull out the stake again.' That parable reminds me that we have to go for what we think we're fully capable of, not limit ourselves by what we've been in the past." -Vivek Paul
