Ed, Chief Prognosticator, lamented last year that BCTC ’08 might be “the beginning of the end”. I hope that Ed is no Nostradamus.

So… will BCTC ’09 be a groovy Beatle-esque Abbey Road scene or will it be more like Helter Skelter. Never mind that Abbey Road was recorded during the most contentious period of discord between the Fab Four. Certainly don’t confuse the Manson mythology with the fact that a roller coaster of the very same name inspired Helter Skelter. Don’t be afraid of a little Helter Skelter.

On the plus side, for Abbey Road is Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, a sweet serenade about a serial killer. Nevertheless, just ask Dan; what would you play when retreating from Bells Way-Flow? Octopus’s Garden or Helter Skelter? Methinks the White Album has better beer drinking potential. Or is that the Wit Album?

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn
and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you don’t you want me to love you
I’m coming down fast but I’m miles above you
Tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
and you may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer

Go helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu, hu
I will you won’t you want me to make you
I’m coming down fast but don’t let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer

Look out
Helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu, hu
Look out cause here she comes

Manfred, we have you covered. Just follow my lead. OK?

Wingman Technique

A Wingman is a guy you bring along with you on singles outings (like to bars) that helps you out with the women.

Typically in these ways :

• Since women often travel in pairs or packs, your wingman helps you approach them without feeling weird about being solo.
• The wingman will sometimes take the least attractive gal of the pair you approach so that you can get the one you want. (Though, this is not always necessary.)
• The wingman gives you social proof - or validation that you are a trustable man, not some drifter in town just to get laid.
• A wingman helps by motivating you to get away from the television and go out to practice your skills on women, and you do the same for him.
• The wingman can also be a more skilled seducer, a man from whom you can learn a great deal by flying at his side.

Keep in mind that a wingman should never be too inexperienced or he will hold you back. (Unless you are mentoring him.)

I don’t watch a lot of television, but I understand that there is a Bud Light commercial where they have a pretty good parody of the wingman taking “one for the team” by suffering at the table with a lame gal while his partner is out dancing with a hottie. That’s one of the situations a wingman can be put in, but the learning and support system is unbelievable if you do it right.

Your wingman is an invaluable assistant for you (and you for him), so don’t underestimate the value of finding one that you can work with.

Dr. Z. Is that your pen name Manfred?
