LOVE THE NICS HERE.....

Shanus — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 14:06:01 GMT

Anyone else wonder how the nics were chosen? @puppylips, @chickenbutt @jackthebear come to mind.

@Shanus is my name...so unusual that I figured it was OK and no way to actually identify me...not that I care.

How and why did you choose your nicknames when you originally joined this forum?

Good question @Shanus ! While my nic is nothing fancy as I'm no chicken butt (LOL) my name is Linda and the Sal is my nickname from high school as it's part of my maiden name. Not that interesting but this will be a fun thread to read today

I've used my nic for a long time and in other places on the web. I was a hippie in the 60's and loved that time in my life. Therefore, Im an old hippie by heart these days.

My stepdaughters called me Gorgy or Gorg for Georgia started by their Dad who was big on nicknames. I had to add F later on with the request to change.

Mine is rather obvious, I guess. I am a lady from Philadelphia. The number 1 on the end was added as a result of a sign in problem. Fun topic!

My father was a Tasty Kake routeman. One of their offerings was a goodie call "Krimpets". Since that name was taken, I chose "Krimpette".

I'm sure we had Tasty Kakes down here @Krimpette, but pretty sure I never saw Krimpets. Can you explain what they are/were? Like a Twinkie..?

I'm Sooner born and Sooner bred,

And when I die I'll be Sooner dead!

Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma

Rah Oklahoma, O K U!

I was Sooner way way back in the 1990's when these boards were new. We have some issues back then and I tried a lot of new nics to log in.

I was looking at a map of Oklahoma using our unusual town names, then for some reason "Springer" (the town not Jerry) worked and was my name for some time.

Then back to Sooner when I could, Recently SoonerLater when we had issues!

They are a small-ish oblong vanilla cake with a butterscotch icing. They used to come 3 to a pack in the old days, but now I believe it's only 2 to a pack.....if they are still sold. Yum!

@PhilaLady1 Are Tasty Kakes still made in Philadelphia?

Re: LOVE THE NICS HERE.....

@Shanus

Krimpet....an oblong shaped piece of sponge cake that has a butterscotch icing.

Just always like this southern way of showing endearment. One of my cats is called Sugar and I call her Sugarbee from time to time.

PhilaLady1 — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 15:14:32 GMT

@Krimpette Nope, they were bankrupt and bought by another company. I don't remember by whom. The Philly place was shut down. The cakes are at best, average.Smaller, less icing and or less filling. That's how it goes these days.
