If you can look at a screenshot of the inside of Blackrock Mountain and not get a funny twitch in your eye and an urge to lie down, you were probably a much better raider than I was. Oh, nowadays you young whippersnappers like Átokfaló of Honor Supremus on Arathor (EU-A) can do your Blackwing Lair "fun runs" for transmog gear, but there was no such thing as a fun run back in my day. Those were
work. The only fun part was trying to guess which would end the raid first, the off tank's passing out from drinking too much or the raid leader's yelling so excessively that half the raid would suddenly claim lag and disconnect.

I'd carved a real niche for myself as an OT. Man, OT. That used to mean something. It didn't mean respect, per se, but it sure meant something to my best buddy, the MT and MH. I was there for everybody! I was important to the team! But then BC happened, and there was less and less for the OT to do. Then, the DKs came with Wrath, and it seemed as if there would never be an OT again. Sure, a few fights here and there were sprinkled on to make the OT shine, but the job typically went to the ret pally who happened to remember some tanking gear. My days folded away, like so many pages from The Green Hills of Stranglethorn. And, yes, I drank too much.

What shoulders are those? I think they would look good on my DK.

Aw you're nuts. I have very fond memories of every nook and cranny of Blackrock Mountain!

Uphill, both ways, through lava.

Blackwing Lair? LAIR?
I've got two words for you people: Father. Flame.
Every time we went through that area, I winced--I could *smell* the Priests typing their threats to abandon the group if we didn't go kill that guy for them. And of course, it was almost always a disaster.
