Things We Don’t Understand
Kung Pao Chicken, extra hot. Cook the peanuts, don’t just dump them on top at the end. No peapods. No celery. Small pieces of chicken. No peas in the fried rice. Is this asking too much, or are we officially High Chinese-Maintenance?
Rams over Redskins? Vegas may own BRK.net soon if that cr@p keeps on going.
How can one Barnie’s have raspberry syrup, and another five miles away claim, “corporate is out”?
And speaking of coffee places, we’re sitting at the Barnie’s at Waterford Lakes, we’ve got The Comfy Chair, and we’re all alone. Where is everybody?
People are asking for a Tallstrider movie.
Why are companies wanting to charge us $2000 to make a Wordpress theme that utilizes and matches our current BRK Bannner? Isn’t there a budding Wordpress theme designer who wants to build a three-column template for us and get credit with linkage? With the Redskins doing what they did, there’s no way we can afford two grand for a new template, folks.
The level 79 boar is Horde-only.
Mammoths are mounts, not hunter-pets. Rhinos are hunter-pets, not mounts. We want a Big Red Mammoth, or be able to ride our Rhino. High Beast-Maintenance, yes we know we are.
Seriously, we’ve got this entire coffee shop to ourselves. Is there a bio hazard in the area?
No more ’50s music Barnie’s! What are you people thinking? Hmm. Maybe we understand the lack of clientele now.
When will Hobbes make his dramatic return to BRK movies?
Core Hounds are fearsome, Gorilladin is fantastically efficient, but everybody loves Rhino. He’s a d@mn chick-magnet (no horn-jokes).
Why didn’t anybody tell us it was a holiday? First clue came when the parking lot at work was empty.
Are the movies always crappy, or did we just hit a horrible release-period when we considered going the theater today?
We need nothing at Best Buy, but we’re going anyway. We hate Best Buy. The overstocking of useless stuff, the dirty displays, the demonstration Guitar Hero section, the armada of personal color laser printers, the return and repair section employees who would never make it through a TSA screening with all the metal in their faces, and the pitiful Apple section with customers bemoaning the price of the Macbook Air. Look, that computer is not meant for you! It’s a niche product. Go buy your $300 HP with 15″ monitor and get out of this section! Why did you even wander over here?
We saw the gun reputation reward for the Argent Crusade. Whoever is in charge of gun-skins needs to be shot. We fell asleep looking at it. Why, Blizz, why?
Rhino + Prowl. Do we have to think of everything?

It’s okay…I’m ADD today, too. But I actually had to go to work. So instead of working, I made a new spreadsheet. =D
Have a good day. Waiting on that tallstrider video… >.>
The zombie sweeper shotgun looks like a shotgun, its a sleek no-thrills design sure. But what other weapon is there for dealing with a zombie invasion than a classic double-barreled shotgun. Lazy designers maybe, or perhaps a tribute to zombie films everywhere.
Oh and yeah, rhinos almost make me want to spec BM, rhinos are the best thing to happen to wow since night elves all stopped being immortal.
What? Its fun to kill night elves! Anyone who’s spent more then 10 minutes in Goldshire will agree!
I like the minimalist approach to the “boomstick”
It’s a shotgun
Not a “streamer-laced, bone-accentuated, multi-colored feather looking monstrosity”
Plus with us not being able to see one’s ranged weapon without /inspect it’s not really much of a big deal, eh?
Eh, I like the shotgun look. It’s simple, clean, classic.
I’d like it if it wasn’t THE SAME shotgun look as about 35 other guns that have been seen in game, but the basic design itself, I have no problems with.
They could have at least made it a cooler, more menacing shotgun. Something you would be proud to kill zombies with!
Just FYI, you haven’t gone crazy with concern to the movies — the last really good film that came out was the new Batman movie. I was so blown away that I really think that they should just put that on every screen in every theater in the country until the Watchmen movie comes out.
Comics nerd? What would make you think that?
“No peapods. No celery.”
= [
I have fallen out of love.
I apologize for the Redskins, but the peas in the fried rice was over the line!!
Hey BRK, im a budding wordpress theme designer. Well, kinda, but I’ve only worked on one wordpress theme before. I’m sure i can come up with something for you though.
BRK, I love yeh, but every time you refer to your raspberry with coffee obsession, I shudder.
Still waiting for my video card. It is going to be a sad day tomorrow, when everyone glories in Hunter Goodness, and I got nothing…
You hit on one of my “pet” peeves (/lol). Two expansions and no new boar models for Alliance (and only one lame semi-new one for horde). And then to add insult to injury, there were super cool new boars in BC; but no, they aren’t boars, they’re demons. Argh!
Look Bliz, you don’t need to do anything fancy. Just take the demon boar model from BC, recolor it white, call it an Iceboar, MAKE IT A BEAST, and plunk it down somewhere in Northrend. Do it and nobody gets hurt!
Frustrated Boar Hunter
How about dual handguns or saw-off shotguns??
I am SO stoked for the patch I can hardly contain myself. I’m working today, so I think I may have to take tomorrow off to play with my new gorilladin pet.
Yes, BRK, that’s high Chinese food maintenance, but I agree with all but the celery in the Kung Pao Chicken. It has to be spicy though.
NFL upsets had everyone doing double-takes. The Redskin loss was shocking, but with the Cowboys falling to the Cardinals, there is a silver lining to the upsets.
Although I am a huge fan of Apple and their laptops, the Air is not my bag either. I’m all about performance, and Macbook Pro is the schiznit.
Like others here have expressed, the gun looks alright. It would be nicer if so many other guns didn’t look the same, but it beats shooting arrows from a peacock.
Boar is only tamable by Horde… meh, even if it was an issue, it’s not a big one. Snag the skin you like and it’s only 5 levels behind you.
And as Kunukia said, raspberry in your coffee is so wrong that BRK cool points are deducted every time it’s mentioned.
Meh, it’s any given Monday for most of us… especially me; government contractors don’t get most of the Federal holidays off.
Yay for horde-only boar but I was over the Boar once they made the change to the Growl not bonus off of Charge, bahg-hum-bahg. The kewl thing I really look forward to is the Bear with my orc hunter… even though the Gorilladin looks interesting, I’m going to stick with the Bear as I have been waiting for this day since I started playing WoW.
Yeah. That is a boring gun…make it shinier Blizz!
Enjoy the empty coffee shop. They are a gift of peace and quiet.
saw a pretty good movie yesterday – might be right up your alley – oil has ran out, set in the future, full of zombies, and the hero is the son of the lady scientist who created the zombies. He doesn’t use weapons (misses his rifle though), but he does dual hand axes! Fo’zizzle… “Van Guard” is the name of it.
Where can we signup for the Gorilladin shirts?
Why couldn’t they have just recolored the [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22810#.]Toxin Injector[/url] from Naxxramas?
If anything looked like an anti zombie gun,it is that beauty!

I’m a skins fan, BRK. They are the same as last year. Rarely get steamrolled. Rarely steamroll. If they catch passes and potential interceptions and avoid turnovers and dumb penalties they can beat anyone anywhere. If they don’t they can lose to anyone anywhere.
But for future reference, WHENEVER you see a favorite that has beaten the spread 4 straight weeks play a dog that has lost to the spread 4 straight weeks, seriously consider the dog. Usually a fine play.
(actually better not to bet above friendly levels)
Just trying to help avoid the necessity of a BRK bailout…we taxpayers are suffering enough already.

“Kung Pao Chicken, extra hot. Cook the peanuts, don’t just dump them on top at the end. No peapods. No celery. Small pieces of chicken. No peas in the fried rice. Is this asking too much, or are we officially High Chinese-Maintenance?”
I hate to say it, but yeah, it does sound like you are kinda high maintenance.

From what I can tell, it’s just using CSS to alter the bar size, color, and themes to your pages, and shouldn’t be hard at all do get someone to do. Ask a bored web designer or even go look around. You could adapt a one of the “personally” made CSS formats from livejournal to work for this as well.
“No more ’50s music Barnie’s! What are you people thinking? Hmm. Maybe we understand the lack of clientele now.”
It’s child safe. Not much we can do about it but grit our teeth and drown it out with an ipod.
…That gun makes me think we kinda got gyp’d a bit.
…stupid wordpress made me retype this…
Is it possible that the graphics for the gun are just a placeholder?
It would be kind of dumb for a ~level 80 gun to have the graphics of the gun dwarves start with (or close to).
I’m with ya on the Kung Pao BRK. /snooze on the gun model, hopefully it’s just a place holder model. WTB pump action shotgun model pst
Damn wordpress errors
BRK, I’ve never designed a WordPress theme (just plain old boring “real” websites.) But at my current rate of pay, $2000 would buy about a month of my attention.
Basically… if you’re looking at anything less than $2000 being a better price, there are a million designers out there who’d be more than happy to help you.
Hey, speaking of Apple and laptops, while we wait through the downtime with Patch 3.02 going in today, we can keep track of the Apple laptop event that happens this morning. With talk of an $800ish Mac laptop, it could prove interesting.
See, living 42 feet from the Canadian border, and being married to a Canadian (the myth that Canadian women are all sluts is NOT TRUE, but many are awfully fine) means that I can never forget this holiday.
It would be like forgetting Guy Fawkes Day after seeing V for Vendetta. Never happen.
Hey! I didn’t have time to check and see if this has been mentioned (scrolling BRK at work FTW) but I’ve had a boar with the same skin as the new lvl 79 one for ages! He’s available in RFK, I believe, or if not RFK then RFD. I tamed him on my first trip through there with my main, and I’ve had him ever since. It’s a really cool skin, I highly recommend it to anyone with the patience to bring him up to speed. Happy hunting!
I’m from DC and we’re seriously pissed about the Skins game. Specially after they already won their last two games. And Columbus Day isn’t a real holiday. It’s an excuse for department stores to have sales. I feel ya on the raspberry, dude. Raspberry mochas ftw.
i dont normaly work with wordpress but i will check into it ans see if i can come up with a theme template for you contact me about what exactly you would want.
as far as the rams over the redskins….. who cares Go Buccs!!!
“or are we officially High Chinese-Maintenance?”
No, you’re officially a metrosexual.
one of your best post ever. gave me a good laugh. which i needed after a very long day. come on patch 3.0.2 download already!
Best Buy is holding my computer hostage. So far I’m at 2 days past the predicted finish date, and not being able to spaz out about servers being all kinds of messed up is messing me up.
Damnable corporate empires.
