I went through a lot of crappy zone names before I registered for on the forums and chose this. (It's a reference to that series of Calvin and Hobbes strips. Aww yeah)
I was maybe 12 or 13 at the time, and later I realized that the all-caps and exclamation point were a bit over the top (and hard for others to type), so I started going in other places, including #massassi, as plain old Smock.
Then, one day, I changed my nick to Sm0cC in #massassi as a joke, and it stuck with me until I decided to simplify it to "smocc", which I love.
I really would like to go as smocc here on the forums too, and I doubt SMOCK! is a big part of Massassi history.
(... Shintock is CoW? What the hell!?)
