If it's crap... We'll tell you

How did you choose your Spill name? Why did you choose that photo/image as your Spill profile pic? How often do you change the profile picture?

Okay, for me, I chose to use the spill screen name tibbs, because of one of my favorite tv series of all time. The Original Star Trek with Captain James "Tiberius" Kirk at the helm.

For my profile pictures, its a little more complicated story.

Way back 30 plus years ago, my father bought my mom a flower vase at this Pier 1 imports type store. It sorta looks like a little Asian man dressed in a white shirt with striped paints. I always thought the flower vase was kinda unique, and to this very day, I haven't seen another ceramic figurine like it at all. Even asked a few spill members to help me find another guy like our family heirloom. My dad said that when he bought him, there were a whole shelve full of the little guys. Who knows? Maybe they found lead paint on the figurines and threw all the rest of them away in a trash heap in Indonesia or wherever he was made at. This little guy might be the last of his kind.

Anyways, got off track. The question here is:

How did you choose your Spill name? Why did you choose this as your Spill profile pic?

Was it based on your favorite movie/television program? Music group? Something funny?

How often do you change the profile picture?

I changed my profile picture once and it changed to me with Pepe LePew at Movie World in Australia, and that was because I just really liked that picture. Im so boring I know lol.; ▶ Reply to This

Well, started off with a Babylon-5 Starfury, then went with the Michael Corleone image, and it sort of took over and became recognized, so stay with it because it's the one people wanted.; ▶ Reply to This
