You see over on the left-hand avatar side of my post, where it says Sherry E, then says 'Willing Victim of the Snowball Effect' and then has a picture and when I first joined DIS and all that? Well, IF I hadn't deleted my tag accidentally, it would be right underneath Sherry E, where the "Willing victim..." statement is. It is usually a cute, silly, funny phrase from, perhaps, a Trip Report or a post that someone behind the scenes copies and randomly puts in the avatar area. Then they colorize it and sometime will make it scroll, like Pixiewings71's does! Bumbershoot (Molly) has a really funny one, for example, if you can find her on DIS. So whomever it is that chooses the phrases and places them in our avatars is called the Tag Fairy. We never know what the selected phrase will be, when it is coming and when we will get one, and some of us (like ME) don't notice that we have them and accidentally erase them!!!

So now that you know what they are, you know to look at everyone's tags. If you see them scrolling or colorized, you know they have been tagged by the Tag Fairy. My Snowball statement is not an official Tag! But you can edit your avatar (in the User CP section) and add in your own, if you want, but it won't be from the Tag Fairy!!
