Prompt: Reply to this post if you like, with whatever comes to mind by way of being interested, and I will pick six seven (plus or minus two) of your userpics; you then write a post in which you explain those userpics in as much detail as strikes your fancy, attaching some variant of these instructions. (Personal addendum: you may also request further explanation of any of the icons, but please be clear on whether or not you want to be tagged with the meme.)

I only have six, being one of these old-fashioned basic account people, ( but this is still rather long )
