Getting my name out there!

Granted, its not getting out where my 'core audience' is (assuming I even have one of those), but it is getting out...well, sorta. 

Huzzah!

Now...I'm guessing that most folks who might actually google that name will be disappointed to find that it's just a battletech gaming blog. Something the average Joe has neither heard of nor is inclined to learn about I would imagine.  Much like those poor sods who see a URL of: https://tbagers.blogspot.com/ Only to find it's not even remotely sex-related.

Likewise, I'm rather doubtful that there are any Mech recruiters running around the northeast Tennessee/Southwest Virginia area, but I can assure you that my little marketing scheme is surely getting noticed and literally seeing far more traffic (ba dum ching!) than it's namesake blog! 

For example:

Last week I was waiting for my curbside order at Chick-Fil-A, and was parked facing the drive thru line. Whilst vastly more efficient than that of the McDonalds across the street, it still takes awhile for folks to crawl thru said line. 

Sitting there I saw 3-4 consecutive cars crawl by where the bored driver looked to their left, read the above tag, and started laughing. Whomever was in the passenger seat wanted to know what they missed, the driver pointed, and they both had a good laugh! 

This makes me happy. :-)

Arguably, I ought to have had a license plate with the name of my primary blog (Da Long Wayz Dezert Groop), but much like the ork decal in the same truck's back window, I'm sure that few folks would 'get it'. 

Yes my truck is 'bloo' and semi-unreliable, thus I refer to it as 'Da Battlewagon'. 

That blog's logo and name are both based off of that of the Long Range Desert Group, and one that only history buffs would likely have any recognition of it. Whereas the Buffet Assault Group's logo is clearly a rip off of the Golden Corral logo which is easily recognizable to most anybody (and for any non-Americans reading this yes, they do have a buffet). 

Amusingly and thru sheer coincidence, The world renowned and hilarious battletech commentator Tex, frequently has the Golden Corral logo inserted into the background artwork of his Tex Talks Battletech videos.

Anyways, this was a fun thing that I wanted to share. I actually have a battletech game lined up with Hoss for Saturday-my first since the pandemic hit. So I'm looking forward to that, and hopefully will have a battle report post following soon thereafter.
