I'll be honest: I started a twitter account just to participate in this sorta stuff.
Also, "How Many Amberseeds Can You Eat?" cracked me up. Loved that quest.
snarkygoldfish Nov 10th 2011 4:44PM
If they keep this up, I may be right behind you! These little outbreaks of silly are amazing.
DragonFireKai Nov 10th 2011 6:54PM
The answer is one.
musicchan Nov 10th 2011 8:04PM
I wished I hadn't missed this on Twitter. I'm always late to the party!
That being said, I don't think I could have topped any of these. I laughed and then I cried BECAUSE THEY'RE TRUE.

Come Up With Puns
rTwelve Nov 10th 2011 4:07PM
"@RetroDragon Find the Raid Member Already Saved to Baradin Hold"
nailed it.
Titusx Nov 10th 2011 4:21PM
I... eeerrr... don't... get it... ?
Ben Smith Nov 10th 2011 4:22PM
IMO, that one was the best of the bunch. The only one that actually made me laugh out loud.
Rhyndo Nov 10th 2011 4:41PM
@Titusx Some people are still not aware of the "single raid lock" system and often will try to get into both BH 10 and 25 during the same week like in Wrath. When you enter, you get the alert that one boss is down because of that one member who already did BH on another setting (unless Raid Leader uses DBM and can check it).
Gindy Nov 10th 2011 4:46PM
If you don't get it, you're the one we're looking for.
mark Nov 10th 2011 5:00PM
oh wait... its me... damnit!
Drahken Nov 10th 2011 7:34PM
I laughed so hard at this one my throat actually started to close up on me.
John Nov 10th 2011 4:13PM
Make players loathe a zone by overusing a pop reference.
(also, isn't there a command in DBM now that tells you everyone's raidinfo ? )
Matchu Nov 10th 2011 4:17PM
/dbm lockout
Not everyone uses DBM though. I know; we take them out back and shoot them.
Nathanyel Nov 10th 2011 4:57PM
And even those with DBM have to confirm sending their data. I'd say about half of them goes "mah dataz!" and declines.
djsuursoo Nov 10th 2011 7:27PM
i modded my DBM-spoofer on my 'lock to send a 'go (*$&% yourself with a spoon' to the raid leader when he checked for any of that stuff, versions/lockouts/etc.
he and i did not see eye to eye on many things.
Shinae Nov 10th 2011 4:17PM
Aww, Boozekin, such a buzzkill.
devilsei Nov 10th 2011 4:22PM
@brejapriest Guess What Jaina is Crying About
Easy! Thrall isn't returning her calls anymore!
RetPallyJil Nov 10th 2011 4:24PM
"@brejapriest Guess What Jaina is Crying About "
You'd cry too if - despite all your natural talents and hard-won training - you were still nothing more than a trophy for the current alpha male to possess.
Did I win?

She and Tyrande can console each other.
