Around Azeroth: Tanks for the memories
Here at Around Azeroth, we get a lot of random email, which is mostly swept away into the spam folder by Gmail. But occasionally a gem slips through, such as this missive from the other day. "My name is Mark. And I want to make a Special Inquiry Of Tanks. I will be glad If you can get back to me with Types, Sizes and Price of Tanks You Have." Well, Mark, we've found a tank for you! Her name is Whistlecheek of <The Seekers of Truth> on Farstriders (US-A), warrior type, size extra-small. The price is up to her, but be advised that tanks are worth quite a bit of gold these days. Hope to hear from you soon!

Running a website, I get random emails, too.
One was a guy who saw a listing of audio and video equipment, and had no mention of selling, no pricing information, no quantities, no order form. He said "Do you still have (insert electronic here) for sale?"
I remember when you guys used to post random emails you get, and I seriously wonder how these people miss the entire website, while looking for your email address. They go thru the front page, look for the "About Us" page, click it, scroll past the description, then get your email address or contact form and send you an email about returning pipe fittings. WTF? I can understand the people mistaking you for Blizzard, but plumbing supplies?

Something about this picture screams "Ghostbusters" to me.

"Ray...it's looking at me."

This is the cutest picture ever.

Agreed.

Somehow, when those pink pigtails go bobbing off to pull half the dungeon before the healer's phased in, and then writes barely comprehensible insults about how the "grup sux", then logs off leaving us to wonder where she went, you can't help but laugh. little scamp! So cute!

It's presumptuous to assume we pink pigtail'd Gnomes would leave a party in the lurch like that. Although, as a Mage I have been known to pull a few Leeroys overtime...but that was rather due to carelessness than spite. :)

Snow and shield design says "Northrend", but for the life of me I can't remember where those ooze things are from.

I agree, I'm curious too. The blogs look like something out of Final Fantasy, but the cave looks Northrendy. The background at the end of the cave looks like either the Nexus or Icecrown Citadel, but neither has blobs that I'm aware of.

Winterspring, in some cave in the southern part of it.

I still keep around a spam email I got years ago, though I'll probably never forget it's subject:
Question Rodent
If I ever start a band, this'd be the name.

I have a couple tanks for rent
Warrior type, size medium, Dranei (female)
caution: beware running behind, as you may be hypnotized
Druid type, size medium (in caster form) DAYUM! (bear form)
caution: beware when running behind, as you maybe be disgusted by the big hairy bear butt

Kinda small for a Decepticon, don't you think?
