Kemper now:
I'm just thinking off the top of my head (with a head cold)... how about:
'nice and adjective' describes, essentially, the pure awesomeness of
the object/feeling.  While,
'nice and adverb' describes how an action should be done with
caution/care.

Kemper feeling nice and sweet about how nice and easy he thought about
'nice and x'... though he's prolly good and wrong
