Don't be a butthead, Poppet. - AYFKM?!?!?

Hullooooo Poppets!!

As all of my loyal readers are aware, I have spent a number of hours playing City of Heroes as of late. I hope you can indulge me as I diverge from our normal conversations regarding Air Travel and self-promotion to talk a moment about a few short TEENSY things that are on my mind.

Best PRO-gress in CoH is made when part of a team. The best teams function when all are playing their respective roles to defeat an army of evildoers. Additionally, these evildoers who are crying out to be defeated are scattered in a maze like environment with lots of little nooks and crannies where a less efficient team can get separated.

Typically, teams have a leader. That leader, in best cases, leads. For the best interest of everyone in CoH the leader typically not only leads (quite literally - up front) but they also call a strategy when facing an gang of evildoers that would obviously chew us up and spit us out were we to just run up and start smacking them willy nilly.

Butthead #1 - THAT guy - the guy that runs in front of everyone, with his Super Speed turned on, and accidentally aggros tons of mobs we aren't ready for and haven't called a strategy on. This guy will also, upon receiving his ass-kicking (that he deserved) will cry that others weren't doing their jobs etc.

Butthead #2 - The Room Nazi - We all seem to be letting one guy go first - good. Then we lose a member, we are all turning circles looking for him. Where did he go? As soon as you open the map to start looking for him, he shows up in team chat - "We missed some over here!". This guy is super anal about the map and clearing every single bad guy - in the order you passed them and will lead the team backwards and forwards all over the place to make sure that this happens. AYFKM?!?!?!?!

Butthead #3 - The Build Guy - This guy has a level 50 character and wants to share his unsolicited opinion on your choice of build. Had one the other day tell another team member that had they slotted correctly a "healer" would never be necessary" (cough cough BULLSHIT)

Butthead #4 - The Tank "wannabe" - He is a Scrapper - and good at it - if he weren't driving everyone nuts running into fights first and aggro'ing outside of the agreed upon strategy. If you love tanking so much - why didn't you build a tank. And if you run in first and pull all the aggro to you - (without the invulnerability and other resistance powers needed to live) then what the hell is the tank supposed to do? Run around you and pretend to be a scrapper??? AYFKM?!?!?!?!?

Thank you so much for indulging me - we now return to our normal discussions of Air Travel Asshats and BuhlindaC self-promotion.

Radi00killa Sings an Ode to BuhlindaC.com

Radi00killa was inspired yesterday to sing an adhoc song about Buhlindac.com.
AYFKM?! - this moved me. Her passion more than makes up for substandard songwriting.

Here are the lyrics to a little country song I wrote about some good ol boys I've met in the airport..I call it - "Honey - You're an Asshat."

Deeeeeewwww Yeeeeeeww
Ramble and rant and wave your arms and yell
While wandering aimlessly talking on your cell?
Do you stare into space and walk in circles at the gate?
YOOOOOOOUUUURRRE an Asshat…

HAAAAAAVE YEEEEWWWW
Knocked old ladies down just to board the plane?
Have you stalked the ticket agents and driven them insane?
Then I'll say it again make it part of my refrain…
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOURE an Asshat

THIRD VERSE - EVERYBODY - You know the words!!!!!

WOOOOOULD YEEEEWWWWW
Carry on a bag that you know is way too big?
And spend 10 extra minutes in the aisle to make it fit
Not thinking of the people behind you who CANT SIT
WEEEELLLLL YOOOOOOURE an ASSHAT

<>>
My Mawma told me
Buhlinda,,,don’t be an Asshat
Nobody loves an Asshat..
I carry those words with me….
