Baubbleshire Knows How To Party

Sing along to this YouTube clip here:

Now lemme introduce you to da gnome wiz town

Where Glimmsterviryan is down with da Bayle Crown

Loyal to Her Majesty, da fine Antonia Bayle

I got enough spell masters to turn Vyem pale

The Glimmsterviryan is always in da hey-ouse

Sharply dressed makes you look like a church mouse

I’m a platinum gnomeboy in Ascended Heroes

Qeynos For Da Win 

Freeportians you’re whacky zeroes

My man Miaule spins the labels for…

(chorus)

Baubbleshire/ knows how to party

In the citaaay/ of Qeynos

In the citaay/ of Queen Antonia

In the citaay, the home of Glimmster

We keep it nuking! We keep it nuking!

Nuke it nuke it baby 

Nuke it nuke it baby

Nuke it nuke it mama

Nuke for Baubble

Nuke it nuke it baby

Nuke it nuke it baby

Nuke it nuke it nuke it nuke it…

But even they call for the Glimmster saggin’

No matter if it’s Voidlings or Dragon

To defend the bastion of the free

Glimm calls the killing spree

Fireball Glimmster has a manifest destiny

For truth, justice, bringin’ hunnies to ex-st-issy

Qeynos is named after da big ass claymore

Guarded by soldiers that’s hard core

Freeportians can nibble on my Concordium Tower

Peace to da scouts of Elddar Grove bower

Lemme show  you fools how we get down on da Good Side

Shout out to the homies looting gear with pride

Baubbleshiiiire/ homegirl Tumma da Mystic Mental

Pereline halfling honey make me all sentimental

Starcrest Commune/ shout to the Fraluc

Slams home like a mac truck

Graystone Yaaard/ shout to Jothun, the original gangsta

And dorfie Grob, da new jack prankster

Castleview Hamlet/ eggnog to da Padi 

Uwen, looking at you da High Elf Mac Daddy

Willow Wood/ always up to no good 

Nettleville’s Ehla-jahn like only a pally could

(go Moonleaf, go Llenwyn)

Homeboy Miaule hits Evil on da chin

(chorus)

Nuke it nuke it baby 

Nuke it nuke it baby

Nuke it nuke it mama

Nuke for Baubble

Nuke it nuke it baby

Nuke it nuke it baby

Nuke it nuke it nuke it, Good Side For Da Win Yeah

First Post: The Obligatory Explanatory Bit

Hello, hello, can anyone read this?

Is this thing on?

Riiiight. Starting my first blog. Not counting my co-blogging, this will be my first step into a larger world. No wait...that's Obi-Wan Kenobi, back when there were no midichlorians.

And that -my flash sideways about the Jedi Master and midichlorians- is a side track, like I intend to indulge in a lot on this here blog site...and yet at the same time it is sort of the point:

You see: In my day, we did it all with a snorkel and a pair of flippers.

Ben Kenobi was still our space Gandalf, we could learn about the Force and be blissfully unaware of technobabble midichlorians...and there were no blogs. No IPods. No internet either, if you don't count the DARPA spawn of the late 70ies/ early 80ies. The world was nice and graspable. Hmmm or was it...

No. No of course the world wasn't any more graspable back then. It just seems that way now, because we look back through a fuzzy lens to the time when we were kids. We just didn't feel the need to connect all the dots all the time.

Fast forward to the Now. We do have internet, and blogs, and we appear to have a great many more dots we can connect. So despite my Bah Humbug quotations and my sometime-romanticizing of a simpler and perhaps warmer age: I thought, why not have a go with these quaint things called blogs?

Well, actually there are plenty of reasons not to start a blog. For one, some 99% of all blogs will not be read. At all. At best you can expect to emo-blackmail your friends and those family who're not Shoot On Sight to you into reading a few posts. After that you're lucky if you're in their bookmarks folder, gathering virtual dust.

Second, blogging is a main weapon of your internal procrastination demon. Every minute blogging is one minute you're not writing that elusive novel, or getting back to that awesome Dungeons & Dragons campaign you once mastered.

Third, blogging tends to be bad for your language mastery. Before you know it you'll be switching from third person plural to first person singular, and even jumping randomly from semi-autobiographical mode to addressing your unseen audience.

...Hmm. Well Taikong suoyou de xingqiu saijin wo de pigu!

I'm gonna blog anyway. You can always find perfect reasons not to do anything. And before you know it you've entered lethargy space, that grim region of space that's home to the penal asteroid of Writer's Block.

So what's left to explain here? I think tone and content can be inferred from this introduction. (Tone: wordy and stream-of-consciousness hip. Content: nerd speak, nerd rage.)

Lastly, a word on the title, then. The absurdist phrase "Just Lawful Chaotic" is a roleplayer pun best explained by this close analogy. It also spells out my initials. Oh for Dan Brown fans: no these initials don't stand for Jesus Christ" with an 'L' hidden by an ancient Masonic conspiracy.

Except of course I would be saying that, hee hee...
