1. My newest icon! I found this while idly browsing a journal someone, and liked it so much that I stole it; I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, though. Here in America "your mother!" or various variations thereof is a common insult, as are comments relating to the, er, shall we say, intimate activities of said mother. We also have rather silly video game ratings here, from E (for Everyone!) to M (mature, 18+ only). So, this is meant as an insult: your mom, rated E for Everyone, i.e. she sleeps with everyone.
Heh.
2. "KBTI" in Braille. KBTI is the initials of my workplace, the Kansas Braille Transcription Institute. I use this for work-related posts (expect one later today!).
3. Ahh, yes, I love this one. There's a story behind it. You see, there's an artist here in America called Thomas Kinkaid, and his paintings are beloved of crazy overly-sentimental Christians and people with no taste in art for their "use of light" and "happiness" and other such meaningless drivel. Basically, it's really crappy and very overly-commercialized "art" that some Christians will fill their homes with. But that's not all; he also makes movies and writes inspirational books and has basically invented an entire market for Thomas Kinkaid merchandise--all with a Christian message, of course!
But the thing is, he's also a notorious drunk and is a complete nutjob. He likes to mark his territory by peeing (I'm sadly not kidding), he's infamous for treating his employees and other artists badly, and he also likes groping women in public. The codpiece reference comes from an incident several years back when Kinkaid was attending a magic show in Las Vegas; he was drunk, and starting shouting "codpiece! Codpiece!" at the performers.
So, I took one of his paintings, overlaid the phrase in nice glowing Kinkaid-style letters, and use it when I am criticizing the idiotic crap that passes for Christian "art" and "culture" these days, or when I see silly hypocrisy (like, you know, a supposedly "good Christian man" who screams obscenities at other artists).
4. Have you seen Big Trouble in Little China? If you haven't, you should! It's crazy and awesome. This is Lo Pan, the evil arch-villain from the movie. At one point he says "oh this really pisses me off to no end!" and so I have adopted it for posts about things that piss me off to no end.
5. This is the Lagoon Nebula. I use it for posts relating to astronomy or when I'm contemplating the beauty and wonder of the universe.
