This Might Be Too Hard
Key you identify all our keys? Six rows, four columns, twenty-two keys. We’ll put up the solution on Tuesday.
Odds n Ends from This Weekend:
No, the feather-gatherer has not returned.
Yes, a Tier 5-geared group can wipe in Karazhan, even on the trash. Especially when one mage decides to pop his Voodoo Gnomes and watch them attack and pull an 8-pack of elites. Yes, he got a guild-kick.
Oh stop worrying; we re-inivited him 10 seconds later.
The first round between Fio and Ego has occurred. We scored it 10-9, Fio. His recitation of “The Brave Sir Robin” song from memory clinched it.
We think TJ has decided to quit living in The Black Morass all by herself, but we could be wrong.
BRK: “You live in a swamp, thus you have swamp@ss, and you are Shrek.”
TJ: “Girls cannot get swamp@ss. Only boys can because only boys have butt-hair.”
BRK: “Girls have butt-hair, Shrek, it’s just blond and fine and not scraggly.”
TJ: “QUIT TALKING ABOUT MY BUTT HAIR AND DON’T CALL ME SHREK!!”
Next time our guild takes out the first five bosses in SSC, we’re bringing a certain shadow-priest, foshizzle.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mrs BRK! We cleaned the fridge! All the pork blood we spilled, gone. /score
And the pepperoni we found behind that drawer that we threated to eat? We tossed it. Guys, want to know when you’re an adult? It’s when you throw out an unopened bag of spicy meat slices that look perfect but have an expiration date in 2007. If we were back in college, it’d totally be scarfed, right?

Man Book of College Life: Spicy meat slices that are not fuzzy and alive for a second time may be scarfed at anytime after an expiration date in association with a barley malt beverage. So sayith the Man book of college life so let it be done.
yes over 35 and I double space after .’s

This is so uncalled for.
Papaoomowmow on 11 May 2008 at 12:35 pm #
Hey how did you get hold of my spare set of Yugo keys, BRK?
If you had mailed me that pepperoni, I’d have called it even.
WAYYY OT
Was curious about various bm builds. Went to wowjitsu, and checked on the hunters of the very accomplished Exodus guild
(in Kel’Thuzad).
Not that their choices make any particular build definitive…….I imagine everyone tinkers often….. but interesting.
This fella seemed to have been the most active
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Kel%27Thuzad&n=Valrath
All of the hunters in Exodus seem to eschew the improved hunters mark in favor of mana efficiency. All the beastmasters max revive pet. Also max animal handler. None go for bestial swiftness. Points in bestial discipline vary (this guy doesn’t use it). Everyone maxes aspect of the hawk.
Anyway….to all you mommas out there…. Have a Joyful Day!

Oh no, you might as well start wearing cardigans and bow ties now.
@TJ - it usually is.
Nick S on 11 May 2008 at 2:36 pm #
@papaoosomething
those hunters may be specced for Hyjal - it’s a strange place. being able to quickly rez one’s pet and regen mana in there is much more important than in many raid instances, due to the waves ‘o mobs format that the instance takes.
in addition, improved hunter’s mark loses some of its effectiveness in cases where most of the damage is magical, and any guild clearing hyjal is probably running in with 3-5 warlocks, 3-5 mages, and filling in the cracks with other varieties of dps.

TJ admitted having butt hair? …..
Lotos/Smoke on 11 May 2008 at 5:12 pm #
TJ has butt hair???
o.O

I honestly do not recall any contest between Vonya and I. I certainly recited the Sir Robin song last night, but that was to mock our mage who kept dying by pulling AOE aggro.
Lashay & Humar on 11 May 2008 at 7:16 pm #
tsk tsk tsk, you dont have the shadowforge key.
BRK on 11 May 2008 at 7:19 pm #
You know, we’ve never seen the end of that place, never completed it.

This looks like a fun puzzle, but it really is impossible to say exactly which keys since so many graphics are reused for keys. I have way to many keys myself though, so let’s give it a shot anyway!
Numbered as such:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20
21 22
1, 3 and 4 - Reservoir Key, Flamewrought Key, and likely a quest key, my guess would be Zuluhed’s Key since you don’t have to use it to get the quest completed.
2 - Warpforged Key
5 - the Key to the City(I somehow never won that roll)
6 - I personally have 2 like this, Dalson’s Outhouse and the Workshop Key(my guess would be the Gnomer key though)
7 - Jump-a-tron 4000 Key
8, 15 and 17 - this is the hardest graphic to nail down, I personally have 6 different keys like this in my key chain as it is basically the generic OL key. Most likely one of yours is the Skeleton Key, another the Auchenai Key. The last one, my guess would be a leftover from the Corki questline in Nagrand, that is where half of mine are from.
9 - Scarlet Key
10 - 2 Ethereum Prison Keys
11 and 20 - SH and SL keys
12 and 14 - I have The Master’s Key and Deathforge Key that look like this, but there have been other quest keys like this that your second could be.
13 - I have the Prison Cell Key and the Crescent Key that look like this. Given only one, I would guess most people would have gone through BRD over Dire Maul, so likely the Prison Cell Key.
16 - Key to the Arcatraz
18 - Key of Time
19 - Key to Searing Gorge
21 and 22 - This is the only one I had to look up, as I don’t have any stackable keys like this(the Shadowforge Key for BRD is the only one I had). Given the stack size and the location of your early hunter guide movies, I am going to say they are 96 Coilskar Chest Keys

On an alien spacecraft:
“These beings, our observations show that the males pride themselves in being disgusting. And furthermore, the source of this pride is from a biological chance that they themselves had no say in whatsoever. Execute them all.”
Want to know where your Man Book Of College Life is? It’s just over on that pile there, along with “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus”, some crap by Anne Geddes, and “The Da Vinci Code”, ON FIRE!
There. Calm now.

Brave Sir Robin ran away..
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled,
Yes Brave Sir Robin turned about,
And gallantly he chickened out..
Bravest of the Brave, Sir Robin!
..And they were forced to eat Robin’s minstrels.
And there was much rejoicing.
yaaaaaay.
Brought to you by the Spanish Inquisition guild of Malfurion.. who recruited me all those years ago in Menethil with a message about a comfy chair.
And how on earth did you end up with so many Coilskar keys?? Hubby and I have a hard time getting enough each to do the quest every day!

That’s what you get when you clear the way to farm Cobra Scales.

I cant tell the keys as im too drooling over the thought of pepperoni. hmmmm pepperoni

Want to know when you’ve spent too much time as a reference librarian? When you realize you know - without looking it up - that even though the spicy meat is past it’s expiration date, you can still be certain it’s safe to eat.
Pepperoni meets such a standard IF (emphasis on that two-letter word) the package was still sealed. If it was open, it moves to “probably ok”, though the fact it’s sliced moves it further down the “As an adult, do I eat this?” chain.
Pepperoni is pretty much inhospitable to bacteria. Low moisture level plus high level of salt makes a classic preservation technique. Open package means moisture may have entered. Small slices means greater likelihood that enough moisture’s entered to both cross the “too dry” level AND dilute the salt to survival (for bacteria) levels.

The spicy meat of and by itself I would agree to still be 100% safe. The only thing I would question is the package. One possible reason that they could have a expiration date is if something in the package is not 100% UV resistant. If the dye in the plastic wrapper is not UV protected it can break down and off-gas into the meat (i.e. you are eating carcinogens). Then again, damn near every known thing contains something that can cause cancer.
Judgement: Meat = Safe.
However, if it was a beer that was past it’s “drink by” date and you decided to pitch it rather than save it until you were “too drunk to notice it was a little skunky”…then you are an adult.
Personally, I decided that this weekend I was unquestionably an adult. I needed paint. Rather than heading directly to the clearance / mis-tint stuff I actually took some of those sample papers and went home to compare it to the carpet / furniture / counter tops. Then again, I had pudding for breakfast so maybe the jury is still out.

@Nick S
OT
Thanks Nick. Makes sense. Because it applies to “all attackers” of course, Improved Hunter’s Mark is a hell of a group buff. They wouldn’t give it up without a reason.
I’m sure there are situational fine points for improving revive pet or not; but for me it generally makes playing a hunter so much easier. Went without it for a long time. Respecced just to get it back.

-giggle- <3 TJ.
Aaaaaand. I don’t have time or the patience to think about the keys. I’ll let the other people do it for me. xD

I have eaten cheese and pizza well past it’s prime before. There was this time in Iraq I had my aunt ( who makes amazing spaghetti ) send me some of hers frozen. It was more or less frozen when I got it. I nuked the crap out of it and ate on it for a week. None of my fellow soldiers were brave enough to try though…. cowards….
As for the ring challenge….. I say “42″

Meat expires?
