bassoonist

A musician graced with the blessing of being picked for bassoon in their high school band, or someone with knowledge enough of this profoundly wonderful instrument to choose it.

Bassoonists tend to be a little on the nutty side. When approaching a bassoonist right after a rehearsal, be very cautious until you know if the piece was good or not. If it was good, run, or you will never hear the end of it. If it was very bad, run, or you may detect bad vibes unintentionally directed at you. If it was a trombone, baritone, or tuba part, run. Just run.
'Bassoonists can be mighty dangerous; all those years of blowing on a double reed, and the pressure can get to your brain.' ~paraphrased, Law&Order or CSI

Bastion Main

A person who looks into the heart of darkness and tries to use it for chaotic good but always gets corrupted and morphs into scum. They play Overwatch and select bastion at first as a blanket but soon it turns into a crutch. This player lashes out at the world by releasing an ungodly amount of fire power down a firing range. A bastion main should always be countered with Sombra and Road Hog. Thy hack and thy hook shall save us from this misguided demon known as the bastion main. Fortunately this genus form of Bastion Main can bring down the enemy team but be warned if the bastion main is on your team, you will garner some of the hatred aimed at Bastion and lose the game through moral depression.

A smaller known but should also to be considered genus is the Bastion main recon variant, who is a tactical flanking nightmare. They use recon mode and hit the head shots with unrelenting efficiency. They turn into sentry move in well timed oppuntunities and kill everything in sight within seconds, to only move on in recon mode again, they are not stationary, they are like a soldier 76 but with a huge machine gun. Bastion Mains in short is why there was bigotry against Omnics after the war and why salt levels rise higher and higher in comp and quick play. The fire power and devastation will leave many salty.
Soldier 76: That bastion has been mowing us down. I can hear it's awful laughter.

Winston: I checked the bastion's career profile, confirmed bastion main
Pharah : Justice Rain AHHHH
Road Hog : I got this * Hooks Bastion*

Sombra: Boop * hacks Bastion *

Bastion: (translated )NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO * dies in hell fire*

bassoon

The larger of the two standard double reed instruments in the orchestra. It resembles a Victorian bedpost and one must have double jointed thumbs to play it! It can play in the bass range, however it's most lyrical range is in the tenor.

Bassoon

The best instrument EVER. It produces a dark, round, rich sound which is very unique, especially in the upper register.

Though it is extremely difficult at first, once you get the hang of using your thumbs more it gets easy; but it requires hours of practice and perseverance.

Not only that, but Colleges and Universities are always looking out for good Bassoonists because they earn very good scholarships and are usually very intelligent.

Number one rule to play Bassoon: You need to have a sense of humor. :)
Colin: I want to play the Trumpet.

Karen: Oh, please! Bassoon owns Trumpet.

Bassoon

The world's coolest instrument. Sounds like a dying duck fart, unless you know how to play. Which I do, so boo-yah. Also, as I've been told many many many many times, it looks like a bong. OK, I get it, move on with your life already.
Random Guy: Hehe... did you know your instrument looks like a bong?

Me: yes, the past 5 people to walk past have said that. But that still doesn't mean you can put drugs in it, you disrespectful bassoon killer.
