Overheard on Vent from our Pally tank:
“Yeah it’s gonna be a moment for this next pull. I used my Avenger’s Shield on that evil squirrel a second ago.”
At least none of us was in a hurry. 
Archive for the “silly” Category“Your call is very important to us, so please remain on the line…” (also known as I’m moving this week and next, so please bear with me. Yeah yeah, I poofed again. Real Life FTL and all that. My WoW time’s been limited as of late (that whole Real Life thing and all), but things are starting to settled down again. The guild is going to run TK on Friday night (yey!), and I’m looking forward to it. I need to log onto Sia and slaughter things! /bloodlust ::cough:: But I was able to get back together with the About Last Night group last night. Our cute little group of Hordelings were on schedule to run through Ragefire Chasm, but Bell had a small detour in mind… We went and found Ratshag, and gave him a good time. (Ratshag, you were goooood… /purrrowr) After that amusement, it was off to RFC. Being as how we hadn’t been on those characters for a while, it was amusing as hell that first pull. Aggro all over the place, a tank running around trying to pull things off people, and a healer who was apparently looking at pretty flowers near the entrance. (Damned healer, I mean seriously, who’s the moron that made the priest and tried to Feign Death? Oh… wait. Shushing!) After a while, we settled down and by the end of the instance, we were all working pretty smoothly for a bunch of people all asking each other questions about their completely unfamiliar classes. Sample discussion of the night: Oh yeah, it got a little silly out last night. And damn was it fun. He said it. Fimlys said i couldn’t prove it, but he said it!
Breana over at Gun Lovin’ Dwarf Chick posted about trying to find WoW players without getting The Look from people that don’t play. It came up in discussion in the bloggers’ chat room, and the idea of hand gestures came up. Me being me, my brain took a slightly different track… Jon: there needs to be like a gesture or something The Juicy Bear Burger recipe is coming in the 2.4 patch, whenever that comes out. Don’t worry, BBB I’m sure you’re safe… mostly. >.> Just out of curiosity, though, how much per pound do you think Cassie would give?
“Attention readers. We apologize for any delay in your usual inane chatter from this site. At this time, the blogger has been sent out for a full reformat and reboot as she was behaving in an unusual manner. Everything should be back to normal within a few days. “As a side note: to the residents at 325 Honor Hold Place, we apologize for the condition your shrubbery is in. We are relatively certain that Ms. Nightravyn was not in a clear frame of mind when she decided to trim them all into the shapes of sand gnomes then proceed to play leap frog with them before she set them on fire for “not following the rules”. A delivery truck from Darnassus Lawn Care will be arriving at your home shortly with replacement shrubbery and a bundt cake as our apology. Thank you for not suing.” The office’s latest creeping crud caught me. BBS. /dies One of the big things about being a Hunter in WoW is getting to tame an animal and have it be your companion, dishing out damage and being your own personal meat shield. Even better, you get to name the critter once it’s succumbed to your charms. This has lead to some truly stellar names in the annals of pet naming history, along with some, erm, questionable choices. The tale of my taming Mirya the Teal Kitty (yes, Matticus, she’s teal, not blue), as well as the reasoning behind her name, is well documented. But then there’s the other pets I’ve had. There was the black kitty with the white spots very early on in my hunter career that was named Sylvie after my then real-life kitty. I tamed a white windserpent once and named it Pip, after a character’s pet from a book series by Alan Dean Foster (excellent series). Then there was a leopard-spotted kitty I tamed that I named Kibble. Why? It amused me and still does. When I got my warpstalker, I named him Kieru. One of the definitions I found for it is “Vanish”, which of course is perfect for a warpstalker. But then there’s the other pets out there. There’s the turtles named “Soup”, the “ugly” pets named “Pookie” or “Muffin”, or the odd gorilla named “Dkong”. Some of the best fun I had in beta testing TBC was when my class leader named her new pet after her hubby and I named my new warpstalker after The Boyfriend. Both gentlemen felt less than honored, while everyone else in the guild got a giggle or three watching “GuildLeader” die over and over while we were learning the new instances. I know I saw an owl wander by the other day named “Splat”. At one point I’ve seen a bat named “Booya”. There was a pink tallstrider named “Shrimp” that I used to see a lot, but not so much anymore. And then there was the one person that named their pet a very mundane name: “James.” I got curious and asked why they named them that. Their response? “It’s my soon-to-be-ex-boss. i like watching him get slapped around then stomped on. It prevents me from yelling at work before I put in my two week notice on Monday. ^^” There ya go, pet destruction as an anger management tool! Anyone else seen any oddball pet names or just have a name you use over and over cos it tickles you? Once again, Leafy’s fault. This always seems to happen when I’m talking to other Blog Azeroth people. Leafshine happened to wonder how on earth the Tuskarr from the next expansion would even kiss. Photoshop happened… sorta.
It’s Leafy’s fault. |
