Sawed Off

Actually, I read ON THE INTERWEB (so it must be true) the The Herp virus caused the DNA damage which stepped the early homonids onto the path to Homo Sap. Apparently, only by these selective bad genes do we get our extended childhood, ever growing craniums (cranii?), and other "HyooMun" traits. It ...

You got ONE!!?? Hell's Bells! I have gotten two dozen with a wide variety of "From:" addresses. If Blizz has something to discuss, they have my telephone number. I ain't answering ANY of these nor clicking anything. (Don't ask how I know for certain how nasty these things can get.) <Groan!>

Dare I say.....LOVVVVED IT!

OK. Here is a question: If there are no Bards in WoW, where are they importing all of those low level drops in WoW? http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6552 (And where can I find female Dranei / Humans / Night Elves wearing that item?) Bard's Cloak/Tunic/Belt/Bracer/Gloves/Trousers/Boots/Buckler Oh, and we...

Hmmpfh! Icons?! I like the Large Ales!

Welcome to ye, then. Ye have the right of it about the Dorfs keeping your mug filled. The gnomies we have taken under our protection keep our timepieces, vehicles and diabolical explosive devices in fine running order. They design nice guns too. We'll help get the scent of Lich corruption off'n ye. ...

And having warmed the membership up by roundly and callously insulting the superior Gnomish and Dorfish races, this 'humble' supplicant fails to announce his own race. The "punting" part sounds like a Human although with some Orcish blood in there (and not in the wholesome, "I have some Orcish blood...

Gotcha -- 4X4 not 4WD.
What do you expect from a doofus dorf?

Oh, and in response to the idea that all cars should have AWD,
all Subarus do and have all along....all models.

There is another difference which adds to the previous distinction between "Full-Time" AWD and selectable 4WD . (I have a Jeep Wrangler.) Most 4WD vehicles operate as 2WD most of the time. The manufacturer warns you that operating in 4WD on dry roads for any period of time will greatly increase tire...

Excellent write up!
Sooooo. Borren and a Night Elf honey?!
I wonder who put him up to that??

The Farce has always been strong with That One.

For combined sweetness , violence and insanity (always a popular combination) may I submit that Brazil was one of the greatest. (Mind you I have only watched it 25 times or so, so I may be missing something.) And, as a traditionalist, Braveheart holds up well with re-viewing. Add to Brasil's credits...

It was purely jolly fun dressing up and all, matey, but if there was any more to it than costume skivies, a guest appearance of Old Chumbucket and Captain Slappy, and some really treacly Cherry Grog (I had to chew some panther dung to get that nasty taste out of me mouth!!) I musta missed it. Maybe ...

Aye! I'm with the Thane! I blame the accompanists in their band.
Yer can never trust the bass players or percussion section in any
a capella group, that's what I've allus said. Hurry back.

I won't be at Blizzcon 2008 to get the inflatable Frostmourne or learn all the secrets.
Nor will I be included in the next Beta ("Starcraft 4"?? TCG "Double Down at Goldshire"??).
I did pick up a consolation prize riding bear in the Beta though:

And, errr, which bicycle would you have been riding that wouldn't have burned up such gasoline as worth twice the premium cost for Next Day Delivery while tooling all over SoCal? I know it was beyond arguing that even getting the package one day later would still be a survivable insult but someone h...

If the LHC is soooooo safe ("ignore that little Black Hole forming on your left!")
what are all those garish red and orange hard hats for...I asks you.
???

Grats Voca!! Truly happy for you. You will be our yes and ears. Blizz sux! This whole kerfuffle was sooooo badly handled, you have to wonder. While a lottery (which I did NOT win, natch) was a gesture at least, it was late, lame and doesn't make up for the butt-headed-ness of the project's PP handl...
