About

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.

The New Wazoo came as a riff on the handle of some random dude from an old warez .nfo file. It's intended to make fun of modern consumerist culture. The slogan associated with the name is/was "It's not old!". The implication there is that by being not-old, it also doesn't suck, as old things necessarily do.
