    I was afraid to ask!...even more afraid that the answer would be "germany"...LOL!
    It musta been something that the SC crowd pinned on the NC fellas.

    You'd have to ask Rango.He dubbed 'em the gummies not long ago .All in the spirit of the clash.What I think is funny is that some of the NC crowd has taken to the name and uses it themselves.You aint heard us take the name fishing fairies as our own

    i have no idea why i penned the name gummy bears on the nc crowd. i was looking for a name i thought would get a laugh and gumny bears come to mind because there was a few pieces of candy called gummy bears someone left here at my puter . it wasnt meant to be derogatory or anything. just something i pulled off the top of my head. but it seems to have stuck pretty good since like eric said, some the nc crowd is refering to themselves as gummies now.
