Classification Of Birds.

Ok, we've got a flock of birds twittering into pastures anew, and this flock of birds can be divided into several categories, and maybe a few subcategories.

Category 1: The Plastics.

The title says it all. They're the plastics. Nothing more to elaborate on that. The beauty lies in the word itself. "Plastic".

Category 2: The Lie-Lows.

These birds are so low-profile and fly so low under the radar that they're as good as crawling on the ground. Boring.

Category 3: The Transparents.

These are the ones who try too hard, bodek too hard, and are so transparent that EVERYONE can see it from miles away. The moment they see someone worth bodek-ing, they turn it on full scale and put the "over" in "overdone". Then they stick to it like superglue. Unfortunately, being new birds in new pastures, they do it SO badly. Hence the transparency. The most hated category, these birds definitely get an F in duplicity as they blunder their way through it.

A word of advice. Poodle, stick with your new sifu. Maybe in the end you'll come out of it with a few tricks so that you don't completely destroy the art of kissing ass the right way. You may never be good at it, considering the quality of guidance you're getting, but at least you won't smash right through it like a bull in a china shop.

Category 4: The Deluded.

Unfortunately, those in this category live in their own world. One in which they're the coolest and the best and that their inflated heads are justified. *laughs* Well it may be so in your world but it sure ain't so in ours.

Category 5: The Beauty Pageant Contestants.

The ones in here can qualify by fitting two or more of the above requirements. More often than not they possess the qualities of a "plastic", a "transparent" and possibly of a "deluded". It's like they're forever running for Miss or Mr. Popularity, the way they go about it.

Category 6: The Mosaic.
They're basically the ones with a combination of two or more of the above requirements. Some have it all and in the end it's so watered down it's even hard to place them. This is where we can safely throw in all the weirdos, extra chipper, extra dramatic, and the there's-something-off-with-you ones.

That last category basically exists because the bird watcher simply got too lazy and too bored to continue. There are better and more interesting ways to spend one's time and attention.
