How I remember it:
Some time ago Syd made a lemonparty parody site. That pic was featured instead of the disgusting image featured on the real lemonparty. At some point, one of the mods or Syd decided to use it when they locked a thread. So now it's common practice.
So, the answer to your question of why it's used....well, why the hell not?

Basically, what Chrisby said.
There's no real reason as to why it's used for locked threads, other than I think it's funny and that it's important for forums to have their own in-jokes. Sort of like how the Parodius/TwinBee bell is used by posters to punctuate insults/ad-hominem attacks in their posts.

Other forum in-jokes include Molesto the Clown, and the infamous Harg Boigled Eggs.

No one does aside from Char and Murdar.
'I'm too hot and too tired to continue' is probably a better example.

Or maybe my favorite variation on that, "I'm too old and too rich for this"
I was going to ask how to do the bell and other assorted symbols you've been making, but then I realized there's a link that says "View more emoticons". ...And now I'm too shy to make any!
