Mother's Day Conundrum

Mother's Day is this Sunday. So as any good Forsaken should be doing, I'm trying to get a good gift for our dear ol' mum, Sylvanas Windrunner.

But what to get for the girl who already is a master of demon magic? And more importantly, how to make sure that your gift doesn't piss off someone who can turn you into a puddle of goo?

Here's the list of potential gifts I've come up with so far:

1. A megaphone for the Banshee Queen. Banshee's are keeners and screamers, so a little help in broadcasting the yelling? Or would it be seen as an insult? Like she can't work up enough wind on her own for a proper Banshee Caterwaul?

2. A chemistry set. Check it out this baby is a dozy. I think this kit could definitely work up a plague to take out humanity. But is Sylvnanas going to want to mess around in the lab? Maybe she's more of an "out in the field, killing the Scourge" kind of woman?

3. A padded saddle. Have you seen one of those skeletal horse rides? That is a bony and painful ride. Why not a little padding? Or would it sound like I was calling her a wimp with a soft tushie?

Oof! Gift giving is hard. Maybe I'll just get her a pretty rock.

Apologies, contrite-like

Nope haven't been writing. But we are here to make amends and fill you in:

GirlFriday? Library school finals have consumed my time. I've finished them. But they've left me feeling drained and tired. Oh and the electricity is out in 1/2 of my house. So no power for the TV, no lights in the bedroom but there's light in the side room and working plugs in the bathroom. Go figure, it's weird.

DeadRabbit's workgroup Yellow Poxless has been not-so productive. (sssshhh don't tell management). You know how it is, someone calls out sick, someone else is down in the break room. We're suppose to be heading into Wailing Caverns and, as they say around the water cooler, "straightening its files and balancing its budget."

You ain't off the hook WC...Yellow Poxless will gather itself together and we will be asking to see your account ledgers...oh yeah, fear us!!!!

Squirrel is in a bit of a funk. There's rules that bind the Yellow Poxless (hey nothing wrong with some rules...they make the Anti-Pug experiment interesting). And until DeadRabbit gets to worklevel 20, our rodent friend is stuck at journeyman Engineer. And he so wants Expert Engineering. Impress the other squirrels, ftw, and goblin jumper cables, ya know? Squirrel, at this point, wants to flex his Engineering prowess. Settle down Squirrel, you'll get your chance.

Cynishade is in the Outlands and, isn't helping orphans yet, but is doing his bit to bring a little happiness to the kids.

Madhare, my pew pew lazerbeam warlock in Sidhe Devils, was in Loch Mordan getting her little gnome a$$ handed to her but the Troggs (over and over...Madhare has not quite got the Warlock "Fear Me" thing down...so far, she's more "I am warlock, stomp on me!"

and the previously mentioned, long delayed Thrall-mandated Variety Show? I swearz its coming. Ya can't rush artists! But I'll get them on stage, I promise. The curtain will rise. Legs will be broken. The show will go on.

DeadRabbit Roaring

I used gifninja.com

But GameDame show'd me the way to gif animation fun

Thanks GameDame.

Busy like the bee

Obviously not ready for the Anvilmar Thrall Mandated Variety Show.

Nope, Thrall has been told not get his knickers in a bunch and to calm down. Does the man not have something to occupy his time with? Leader of the orcs...come on, there must be something.

DeadRabbit is raring to go but me, da Secretary, had real life come up and demand some quality time. Yup had to prepare for Pesach: clean and scrub that chametz right out. (Hmmmm, since Thrall seems to have time on his hands maybe I should give him a bucket and a sponge and get him to scrubbing). And it is the end of a semester in MLS school. Can you say 2 term papers, two finals and a small five page paper that need to get done? oy! and double oy!!

• But I did some time in WoW(shhhhhh....not to loud...don't want real life to know I'm goofing off).


• Went and joined the Sidhe Devils. Madhare, the nice as pie warlock, and her faithful minion are hopping and skipping around Dun Morogh. Yes I said faithful minion. Yes, I said faithful...you'll see....my minion actually likes me. Palintera sent some liquids over as a welcoming gift. No, not hard liquor. Healing potions! Yippee.


• Spent some time leveling a priest to 10. Just because. Who said that warriors were the slowest to level? Are you kidding me?!? Okay maybe it gets better but Priesties DEFINE squishie levels 1-10. They are the zenith of squishie-awesomeness and the nadir of "ya can't kill this." Given a chance to die, my priest would. I spent a lot of time dying. Let me just say, this priest squishiesness is what turns an innocent lass towards the shadow. Revenge is sweet. And let me also say right here, in print, there are some wolfs, bears, and Dun Morogh trolls that are going to feel some shadow pain right soon. Yup beasties, tremble in fear and say goodbye to your families. You are going to pay for the priest smack-down you showed me this weekend.


• Goggled at the the uproar over at BRK's....wow, my mama told me to be polite even if you are disaggreeing. BRK wins uber-mom points for a polite reply to some rude responses. BRK telling people that there is only one way to go? Since when? However the discussion, if you can close your ears to the "you suck" verbiage, is interesting. Makes my head hurt 'cause I don't understand it all. But there it is in print. I want to go over it and test it out. See how it works. So thanks BRK, for the video, for answering the criticisms and for all the posters with different viewpoints. Makes for a good learning experience for a newbie like myself.

A bit of cheesecake for ya....

Chester: Ewwwww. Sometimes Deadrabbit, you are just gross.

DeadRabbit: Hehehe...she tasted like acorns.

Chester: *gasp*

DeadRabbit: /pats Chester...It's okay buddy, the picture was just posed. It's a joke. That's my friend Sally. She comes over to Brill sometimes and we chit chat about work.

Chester: Oh. But doesn't she work for the Scarlet Crusade?

DeadRabbit: Yup, she's the receptionist at that Nightmare Vale castle. But the hours suck. Plus she's dating this Blood Elf and is looking to transfer over to Silvermoon City. The pay is better and the benefits...

Chester: *yawn*

Dead Rabbit: Might need to cannibalize a squirrel right soon!

Chester: Ha! I'm thinking you are all talk....you don't even LIKE cannibalizing, do ya?

DeadRabbit: /blush It's just gross. Give me a sit-down meal in a good restaurant with food that's been cooked. Sheesh.

Chester: Wimp.

DeadRabbit: Rodent.

A deal is reached...

To: Chester

From: DeadRabbit

The Goggles rock....you can stay.

Get to work on those squirrels.

Mail Fraud

I guess Gold Farmers have a new tactic: why spam or farm when you can just rummage in the mailboxes of Azeroth?

Tried telling the guy that I wasn't making THAT much on the AH but he just kept digging. I am going to be so pissed if my copy of this month's Daxe Fifth Avenue catalog is gone....grrrrrr!

Is that where my arm went?

from DeadRabbits' Diary:

"My plan to escape the Elmer Fudd's of this world appears to be working. This recent report by wowhead shows that they have no clue that I have hidden myself in Orgrimmar.

Tricks are for kids? I think not: tricks are for this rabbit. Found myself a nice snug rabbit hole.

However, I have discovered a possible reason for the bits and pieces of me that were missing when I "woke up."


Barbarians! I mean one skinning, maybe two...but......I mean I know I have the nice soft skin (I moisturize daily) but sheesh mageesh. Alliance...you are going to pay! I want my forearm back!"

Workplace Safety

Hello fellow employees,

First off, "For the Horde!!" (That has to be the best motivational workplace phrase I've ever hard....makes me want to go out and kill some more quillboars just for the hell of it).

Just a memo from your newest employee, DeadRabbit. Who do I mention a potentially dangerous situation to? I was doing some Engineering work in the Valley of Honor and well, see the above. Um....I know that an Orc could probably take the resulting explosion without blinking a purty green eyelash. Probably find the breeze refreshing and all. But as one of the undead, my joints are not as well connected. It'd be hard for me to find all my parts if I was blown apart and I'd like to keep what I have.

Also, I'd like to really thank everyone for the warm welcome I've received here at Horde, Inc. Upon first being employed post-death, I was a little nervous and unsure (I attribute that to a little grave rot in the brain...hehehe). But everyone has been really great...especially you, Sumi, that was quite the...uh...vigorous hug.

See ya at the water cooler!

Dead Rabbit

Visual Pun

See? Hehehehe. Maybe its not quite Fio worthy. But....get it? Dead Rabbit next to DeadRabbit...bwahahahahaha.

Dead Rabbit:

"Who can make the Scarlet Crusade cry with her smile?
Who can take a low-level quest and suddenly make it seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each frost bolt and every little polymorph you show it

Alliance is all around, no need to waste it
You can have Ironforge, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

How will you make it on your own?
Thank god you've got a guild and aren't alone
But it's time you started (un) living
It's time you let instances do the giving

Alliance is all around, no need to waste it
You can have Ironforge, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all"

Dead Rabbit is feeling pretty spunky these days: level 9, engineering as a profession, and she just polymorphed a bat into a sheep. Rabbit, you are going to make it after all.

An undead mage....boo ya!!

I'd like to introduce my alt for Pox Arcanum: Dead Rabbit.

Here she is just coming out of the crypt. Frankly, she's looking a little dazed but who can blame her? Waking up in a crypt. Waking up un-dead. Finding bits and pieces of yourself missing.

Dead Rabbit: "Don't forget to mention finding bits and pieces of yourself that you haven't seen before"

Oh...ewwwww

Dead Rabbit: "Thanks a lot. Actually my liver is kinda brown and healthy looking....nice to know"

Um...but you're undead. How could it be brown and healthy looking?

Dead Rabbit: "Oops! my bad....that was just a squirrel that had nestled in my insides. He must have found his way in through that rotting hole in my rib cage."

Ewwwwwww

Dead Rabbit: "hehehehhehe"

Here's our heroine taking on her first serious mob: the Night Web Matriarch. It's a different sort of job than what she use to do when she was amongst the living.

Dead Rabbit: "Yup, this is much better than being an administrative assistant. I spent my days in front of a computer or....ooooh the excitement....filing. Here I am undead and a mage"

How'd you become a mage?

Dead Rabbit: "No clue. Looks like the hand out job assignments here without interviews and such"

Cool! Interviews suck.

Dead Rabbit: "I'm wondering though. Is there a dental plan? What are the employee benefits? What's my retirement look like?"

Well, since you're undead, I think you are already "retired"

Dead Rabbit: "You think your funny, dontcha?"

And as far as a dental plan, I'm pretty sure you can just scavenge whatever parts you need from the local graveyard.

Dead Rabbit: "Management always finds a way to be cheap, huh?"

And as far as employee benefits, you get to be a mage. And wreak some serious havoc. You are definitely a bad ass.

Dead Rabbit: "ooh, ok well that's just cool"

Speaking of employee benefits, you did that Matriarch in.

Dead Rabbit: "I kicked her spider ass. And, you know, she was a good loser. She gave me a nifty webbed cloak as a present. Made out of spider webs."

Spider webs.....oh....um....that's nice.

Dead Rabbit: "Yeah they make the cape kinda soft. I think it's pretty."

Hey, I'm wondering. Where did the Matriarch have that cape hidden? I mean I don't see her carrying a bag or anything?

Dead Rabbit: "Oh she's got a squirrel like I do. She put the little rodent to work. He knits these capes up for her. I'm thinking of getting my squirrel a profession too. I mean it could be like rent for resting in my insides."

Mangement is always cheap, ain't it?

Dead Rabbit: "hardy har har har"
