What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I run the humor website www.UsedWigs.com. We promote “Quality Workday Distractions” and feature satiric stories and news, celebrity interviews, music and movie reviews and pop-culture-based columns. We are Philly-based but have a solid national following. I recently did some commentary on a VH1 series (I know, big deal, who the hell hasn’t.) Like every other idiot with a mic, I also do a podcast (http://usedwigs.com/pod/pod.html) with two other music and pop culture geeks. Check us out if you like quality indie music and mildly amusing chatter.

BTW, I picked the name "UsedWigs.com" because strangely, the domain name wasn't taken.
