<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 955506, member: 19065&quot;]Mine is a nickname based off my first name, Chris. </p><p><br /></p><p>It has absolutely nothing to do with Krispy Kreme brand doughnuts as many may first assume. </p><p><br /></p><p>As a child, a family member took to calling me &#039;Chrisper&#039; but this never&nbsp; crossed over to usage with friends and others. Chrisper may have been a&nbsp; derivation of Christopher.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to watch a lot cartoons growing up and I always liked the spoofs of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Durante" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Durante" rel="nofollow">Jimmy Durante</a> that you might see in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Durante also was a voice in the animated cartoon of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pu-bVrndgY" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pu-bVrndgY" rel="nofollow">Frosty the Snowman.</a> Then in the 1980s Post <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bmIKrU2jQU" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bmIKrU2jQU" rel="nofollow"><b>Crispy Critters Cereal</b> had this TV commercial</a>&nbsp; running with a character that again spoofed Jimmy Durante, complete&nbsp; with a big nose. At that time a friend of mine remarked something about&nbsp; how I should call myself Crispy and do Durante impressions. We joked&nbsp; around about it for a bit as we both enjoyed humorous parodies. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I needed a screen name for use on the forum, I decided&nbsp; to go with &#039;krispy&#039;, in part it&#039;s a derivation of my name, now with the C&nbsp; changed to a K it goes a bit further yet is connected to the above life&nbsp; long references. It also suggests the concept of &#039;crisp&#039; notes as my&nbsp; avatar picture depicts a note and sums up one part of my numismatic&nbsp; collecting interest in which crisp notes are a very good thing. :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
