Huh?

I had to create a blog in order to post comments on my sister's blog, http://thegreatwordsmith.blogspot.com/. Weird. So before anyone asks... It's late at night and I couldn't think of a clever name for my blog. Larzipan is the only nickname I've ever had that has "stuck" for an extended period of time. Well, I guess there was "Thor" back in the old Butte II Ward, but that wasn't ever really a nickname, it was more of a funny thing to say, as in: "Thorrrrrr!!!!" I guess you had to be there. I still have no idea how that got started.

Anyway, I know someone's going to ask, so the answer is: I suspect "Larzipan" is derived from a character on Homestar Runner. And only a couple of people really even call me that. There you have it. Be excellent to each other.

  1. Oh yeah, and then there was "Vanilla Ice." That came about in one of my BYU wards. One of the apartments was introducing themselves through poetry in ward prayer, and they needed a word that rhymes with "nice." So of course they chose "Vanilla Ice." The full line was "We think Lars plays the organ like Vanilla Ice." I had no idea he was an organist too.
