I kinda took my name from Big trouble in little China, was thinking Lowpan at first, but went with Lowpang instead, I think it has more kick to it.
My avatar is an ouroboros. usually it's a snake eating itself, but come on, the dragon looks much cooler than the snake.
here is something I found online.

The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end (compare with phoenix). It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. The Ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist's opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism.

Very cool Lowpang...I loved that movie by the way; Kurt Russell was hilarious.

I'm not really sure about the story behind my current avatar, to be honest.

Way back in the late 90's I was writing some horror fiction, which I never ended up publishing. At that time I decided that if I did get published I wanted to use a pen name. I also wanted that name to fall just above Stephen King alphabetically on the book shelf. I came up with Sean Jacobs. I used that on the old PE Forum and just kept it.

My current avatar speaks for itself.

Well IBMM...you're a man of mystery; make something up.

That's a very cool story Sean Jacobs and should you ever decide to publish, let us know.

Thanks. Maybe I'll take up writing again when I retire.

Well Sean Jacobs that sounds like a fun and worthwhile "retirement plan" to me!

LOL Jay...that is not very creative; perhaps you should ask Sean Jacobs to help you write something more..."mysterious"

Me and a lot of my friends would jokingly refer to our dicks as "daddy dick" when bull shitting with each other or making jokes and what not. I started saying it first ever sense I first seen the movie "baby boy" but added the "big" to the beginning of it and would always go around referring to myself as "big daddy dick" in third person mostly because it sounded catchy, but also true, or so ive heard

I then started abbreviating it "bdd" any time I had to write my name on something lol
