It has been some time since I have regaled you all with a pug story. And this isn’t the classic tale – there were no melee hunters, no dual-dagger-wielding warriors, no ninja looting. It wasn’t even exactly a pug, since I was invited by Balhamr, and he knew two of the other three people in the group as well. The healer Chrissmith, was new to all of us though. The goal was the daily quest in Heroic Shadow Labs.
Chrissmith is an adequate healer. I think that was partly because he had a lot of +heal gear on, but maybe he also sorta knew what he was doing. However, his command English (if that’s what it was) was exceptionally weak. And he is one of those kids that has to constantly be bragging about how he has been to Kara, and he has a great guild who think he’s the best thing since murloc stew, etc.
So partway through this difficult run, after we have died for about the tenth time, this happens in party chat:
Chrissmith: Yeah, it really sucks when the tank has worse gear than you do.
Group: [Dead silence]
Balhamr: Well, if that’s how you feel, Chris…
Chrissmith: OH, MT LOL
I don’t exactly remember the rest, except that Bal (who of course was the tank) was exceptionally gracious and Chrissmith was apologetic, sort of, and admitted that Bal was skilled at tanking even if his gear wasn’t quite what it should be for Heroic SL (which, frankly, was true, we were all undergeared, really, including Chrissmith.)
So, we are preparing for the next pull after wiping, and we have this conversation:
Chrissmith: Man buff please.
Me (naturally): I’ll take a woman buff.
Chrissmith: I mean mana buff.
Chrissmith: What’s a woman buff?
Group: [Refuses to explain the joke]
But the very best typo, the one that tops all other typos (including all Danano’s famous “I think we’re goo”) and was made even better by Chrissmith’s complete obliviousness:
Chrissmith: Hold on guys. I need a minute to let my dong out.
