Icon meme
Comment with 'Icons!' and I'll pick five of your icons to explain.

Nebra Sky Disc:
The Nebra Sky Disc is a bronze age Celtic astrolabe/portable henge kind of thing found near Nebra in former East Germany, and considered an archaeological sensation. I saw an exhibition of it in Mannheim a few years ago. I use the icon for serious historical or spiritual posts or comments.
Reality is a rotten place to be:
That's from a fearfully hippie-esque movie from the the Sixties called 'Psych-Out' in which the (then) young Dean Stockwell played this, erm, hippie who was continually stoned and spouted this deep stuff when stoned, which was sort of continually. It was meant to be serious when it was made, but came over rather funny in 2007, when the Nazgul and I watched it. He says that line in just that scene while taking some terribly strong hallucinogenic with the main heroine. We almost keeled over laughing, and I decided it had to be an icon, and it had to say the text in hippie-esque pink writing. I use it for posts and comments about the general SNAFU-ness and ridiculousness of the world as such.
Blacherniotissa:
It's an icon icon I own. Having an icon of an icon is a kind of meta that appealed to me.
Needless Writing:
Anita Blake icon! Bloody LKH interrupts plot for three pages of description of how Jean-Claude has redone his sitting room, in loving detail, while the really urgent and suspenseful plot just wibbles away in the back of the reader's mind, waiting until the waffling excursion is over. Too much sex in a book is bad as it is; interrupting both plot and (omnipresent potential of) sex for pages and pages of white-and-gold interior design is idiotic.
Purple Pride:
That is the actual name of that breed of tulip! And it's one of my first pictures with my digital camera when it was new. I bought the flowers especially so there could be pictures, and from those pictures, an icon. It was all aboutasar_suti , of course, who at that time had taken over the garden in Milliways. Suti is all but gone, but the purple thing stuck with me.-
