No Dibs.
We were on Kel’Thuzad. Two wipes due to miscommunication among the tanks and melee DPS, and this was the going to be the kill-shot. Everybody knew it, everybody was ready.
/BRK’s phone rings
“Yel-loe?”
“BRK my wallet was stolen!”
“Hold on, honey…”
/push to talk on vent
“Folks, I gotta run, my wife just had her wallet stolen in Connecticut.”
/BRK drops raid, closes vent, logs out
/other two hunters high-five, for they lose competition for the gun Kel’ drops
“What did you lose, dear?”
“Everything but my driver’s license and my ATM card!”
“OK, I got it.”
/click
/call credit card companies, lock everything up
/log on WoW and vent
“… and he’s down! Great job guys!”
“Did the gun drop?!?”
“No BRK; your sanity is fine.”
/sigh
/phone rings
“Yel-loe?”
“GUESS WHAT?!”
/oh no
“I found my wallet! I used my Tazer as a flashlight and searched the truck again and there it was!”
“Sweetie, you know Connecticut has laws against civilians owning a Tazer.”
“You touch-a my Tazer, I break-a you face.”
/click
/push to talk on vent
“She found the wallet in her truck, ten seconds after we cancelled all her cards. If the gun had dropped, would we have gone to h3ll if we threatened to divorce our illegal-Tazer-wielding redheaded maelstrom of fury we call a wife?”
“I call dibs on her if you do!”

The joys of being married, eh? I once had to drive 3 hours to point out to my ex-wife, who thought she had locked her keys in her car, that a) you can see the ignition switch through the window and b) if your keys get lost at the bottom of your purse, you are a dumb@ss who needs to get a smaller purse…
Pretty sure that threatening to divorce over such a situation is non-hell-worthy.
On the other hand, if the divorce goes through, and no dibs are allowed, can we do a raffle? ^_^
Uhm… Howz cum I see a plain-text Web site except for the Evil Sheep avatar? Oh, and the Dubs tub. Is CSS kerschmutzed?
I definitely would’ve been that guy calling dibs.
Wait, what?
The road to Hell is paved with:
Good intentions, gold, awesome guns dropped by endgame raid bosses, and anyone dumb enough to mess with tazer-toting red heads…
Sheesh…
They tried to call dibs on my wife when I took her to real life guild meet up.
…as if…
All I can think of is this fantastic site…
Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About
http://www.mil-millington.com/
Does your wife actually call you BRK? If so, that’s absolutely the most amazing thing ever.
Just think of it this way. Because you stopped to help Mrs. BRK, karma smiled on you and didn’t drop the gun.
Well BRK,
We are all going to H3ll more then likely, but I must say I do not think the threat would have sent you there. However what that illegal-Tazer-wielding redheaded maelstrom of fury you call a wife would have done to you for the threat might have sent her to H3ll!
P.S. Please Record the night you ever threaten to divorce her over WoW. The video would become an instant classic. Redhead vs Big Red Kitty!

Uh, that would be one boring video. A Tasering, followed by a merciless ganking, followed by endless hours of corpse camping by an Enraged Redhead.
If you want an Envoy so badly, figure out a way to hack Blizzard’s mainframe, change your dwarf to anything horde, transer it to Turalyon and join my guild. We’ve gotten FIVE Envoys in a row in as many weeks. Last week’s went to a warrior.
It’s illegal to carry a taser in some states? I wouldn’t want to live in that state!
My wife and I sat in the DPS (Department of Public Safety) for nearly 90 minutes so she could renew her Driver’s License.
Finally got to the counter and she realized we were nearly 365 days early.
She was annoyed, but I was amused…
Dames is grief
hehe if misses BRK was ganking the worlds best hunter, what class is she…a warlock…. Bag that’s harsh on the missus …. Rogue … May.. Hmm.. I KNOW, for ages brk has been loving the thing he. Hates most, A SPOREBAT, missus BRK is a sporebat with a taser
Sounds like something my girl would do. Once she thought she had lost her purse in my apartment, called me up in the middle of economics class and asked me to drive 25 km (yes in Denmark we use the metric system) just to have me point out that the purse in question was hanging from her shoulder.
Missed 4 hours of class = YaY Missing basketball tryouts= Epic fail
Mrs. BRK is obviously a Paladin.
Righteous Fury + Redhead + BRK’s legendary issues with pallies. OUCH!
Why is it that whenever something like this comes up, the only thing I can contribute to the discussion is, “I don’t have a girlfriend at this time.”
Sigh…
Dibs.
woot we bm got our new pet talents http://www.wowhead.com/?forums&topic=78024&p=832792
I know there’s a Thou shall how covet thy neighbor’s wife… but there should be a BRK exception clause – “except when calling dibs on neighbor’s soon-to-be ex-wife”
I know there’s a Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s wife… but there should be a BRK exception clause – “except when calling dibs on neighbor’s soon-to-be ex-wife”
Those talents are for a moth, i.e. a ferocity pet. Does anyone have info on the new talents for the other 2 yet?
Speaking as a redheaded maelstrom of fury, myself, I don’t think FD would have helped if BRK had made that threat.
Especially if she’s geared with Tazer
o_O; It all makes SENSE now! :O
BTW, I see you are back to Survival. Curious if the new(er) BM just wasn’t enough yet.
However, checking out the PTR the new pet talents will make Loque one crazy Spirit Beast. What are your thoughts on them BRK?
As IF BRK would be talking about divorcing ME.
You a$$hat.
LOL @ Mrs BRK. Onya mate
I’m in Connecticut, not friggin’ Mars!!
ROFL
This post and thread = awesomeness
Wow. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been able to play a video game knowing my cards were gone. Locked or not.
It looks to me that so much of BM damage will be coming from pets that it should no longer be considered foolish to take some of those pet survivability talents like Endurance Training. When your pet is doing more than 50% of your damage, dead pet is very bad mojo.
Oh, how embarrassing, I posted that in the wrong thread and can’t delete it or edit it!
Our Rogues are starting to get Envoys. Silly BRK.
Women > WoW. Always =) I should know, mine has forced me to drop my 2yr old Hunter to go reroll horde on her server o.o I’m a little miffed, 3865 Achievement points don’t come without a little elbow grease, but I’ll tell ya, it’s d@mn worth every minute.
As my boyfriend would say……
“LUCY!!!!!”
at least you don’t have to worry about her going on a spending spree anytime soon.
Forget dibs on the Mrs.. I’m a female. I call dibs on BRK!
@9kThadPro
I thought of that, but I think I could be his mother. /sigh

zomg… yeah, bro.. I feel ya on this one… I lost out on a boss drop roll one night because of my daughter saying she wasn’t feeling well.. family first and all… but I had stepped away and missed it.
/sigh
Least it wasn’t anything that wouldn’t have been replaced in a few levels…
Love the commentary style. ^5’s on that.
Once my wife called me up a work during a really busy shift and proceeded to complain to me that the dog had started to chew on the coffee table.
I stood there expressionless for a bit and uttered the one sentence I haven’t said since: “What do you want me to do about it?”
When I got home, I received the blonde version of h3ll and maelstrom.
This is the same woman who lost her keys for three weeks, only to find them at the bottom of her purse… “They didn’t jingle, when I shook my purse,” she would say.
/roll
Q: What’s the difference between Connecticut and Mars?
A: There are no Taser-toting Redheaded maelstroms of fury on Mars.
And yeah ThunderMonkey, I know where you’re coming from. My Missus is 5-foot-nothin’, redheaded, weighs 100 pounds soaking wet, and calls me to tell me the cats need their litter boxes sifted. Apparently I am so l33t that I can sift litter boxes using my amazing mental powers over a distance of 12 miles. And woe betide me if I ever mention such a concept when she calls during a busy day to tell me about something I can’t possibly do a durn thing about until I get home (usually in about 7 or 8 hours).
Women; can’t live with ‘em: Pass the beer nuts.
P.S. – no point in living without them, either. I’ve tried it both ways.
@ Nyctreinar
Men, can’t live with them, and the law frowns on the alternative.
This reminds me of a joke…
Wife (noun): An attachment you screw on the bed to get the housework done.
@Krick
LOL
Our first Heroic UK we were buffing up. I got a call from my wife that she locked her keys in her car at the grocery store on the other side of town. I got home 5 minutes after the Drake Mounted Crossbow dropped and they DE’ed it.
to Lump – if you were present during the encounter you can always ask a gm to have the item recovered and transfered to you when you explain to him that it was de-ed by an accident – as they do hqve records – there comes end of qq ta-feaking-da
