Least I ain't chicken.

I'm sure that this is a flameout meme that has already lived its whole life in the PC gamer sphere, but [livejournal.com profile] jjohn just turned me on to it: The Ballad of Leeroy Jenkins. (Streaming WMV)

Aside of the obvious funny, this gets a big "Wow, they can do that?" from me. I continuously have no idea what the most modern computer games look like.

It may be a little too perfect to be really-real, but it's still a hoot.

I would go so far as to suggest that it contributes to the pop-culture lexigraphy, giving us a common battlecry to use when next we willfully undertake a foolhardy action out of impatience.

You certainly aren't the first to suggest this. My roommate and some of his 'City of Heros' friend have already started using 'Leeroyyyy Jenkinssss! as their battle cry when they know they're about to do something stupid.
