2004jun07. So a few days ago I’m cruising through the internet’s premiere hide-all-useful-information high school classmate database website using, of course, a fake name and year and city. And someone who graduated from a school the next city over from mine (we used to call our town “Town” and the other town “Other Town” ... seriously) back in the ‘40s referred to himself using his first name, and his nickname, “Cappy.” Whatever happened to nicknames like that? Nicknames like Tugs, Sleet, and Cram? Ol’ Cram Johnson, what a character. He used to tape fireworks to Ol’ Sleety Sixpence and Ol’ Sleety would run through the gymnasium sparkin’ and an’ a-whistlin’ to report Ol’ Cram to Ol’ Toots MacFrenshendersham the hall monitor ... hee hee hee hurg HARLG HGGGGH OH GOD MY LIVER
