Around Azeroth: Home ghouling
Today's submitter, Fangorus of <Second Life> on Durotan, has written his own explanation for this screenshot. Trust me, it's worth reading.
"It's common knowledge that teaching ghouls, or home ghouling, is part of a Death Knight's daily routine. Teach a ghoul, you say? They are dumber than a bag of hammers, how difficult can it be? You are about to find out. Here I am about to teach my sidekick some of the finer points of etiquette in polite company. I.E. - Don't push visitors off of the edge of Dalaran. Unless you want him to."
"It all began with a leisurely stroll through the Antonidas Memorial's pet park, where hunters, death knights, warlocks, and mages train and play with their minions. That poor troll hunter was minding his own business, flinging frigid meat bites over the city edge for his pet condor to catch in midair. The ghoul chased after the bird, not sure if he wanted a piece of the condor or the frigid meat. Before I could rein him in, the condor got aggressive, the ghoul ate the condor, the troll attacked the ghoul, and oops, my deathgrip slipped. Sorry! Thank the Ebon Blade there were no guards around at the time. However, there were several other Death Knights standing around, shaking their heads and scolding their ghouls with 'don't you try that until I tell you to.' A human warlock just scowled. I promised him I'd clean up the mess if he wouldn't warn the guards, but obviously he was glad another member of the Horde had met an untimely end.
The aforementioned troll fell into an arcane chasm, between the Forlorn Woods and the Unbound Thicket. This area is rife with mystical energies and powerful arcane vortices. Now here we are, about to rub the ghoul's nose in his 'accident', which he'll promptly eat after he's done. Lesson learned, messy evidence cleaned up, and a ghoul (hopefully) bestowed with unpredictable arcane powers. If you've learned one thing, friends, just remember. Leave home ghouling to the professionals."

When I specced Master of Ghouls a while back, my ghoul's Intelligence was higher than mine.

I'm sure the warlock was scowling because he could have used the soul of the troll, healthstones are too tasty to just have one.
