The Old Hack

You have grenades, don't you? Arm one and drop it into water. Boom. Fish killed by shockwave float to the surface.

Maybe it is a lag issue? It's your own fault. That Edict on Papyrus Wastage you implemented back in 1123 BC set the standard for office internal messages and forum communications for a very long time afterwards and it is still being widely used. Even in the case of electronic forums. We don't have so many electrons that we can afford to be wasteful with them, you know.

Yeah, I remember that one. Sadly did not have it. Some guy managed to dream up an exploit with it by stacking insane enchantments on it and maxing his Fishing skill. You could substitute your Fishing skill for weapon skill with a fishing rod and since unlike ordinary weapons it was not limited by level he was sheer murder with it on PvP battlegrounds. >.< Blizzard nerfed that one rather than seeing its low level battlegrounds turn into fly fishing meets. I suppose they had to, though I admit I would have liked seeing Horde and Alliance go toe to toe dressed in waders and packing nets on poles.

Jerry: In another dimension With voyeuristic intention. Well secluded I see all...

I suppose that is possible. But in retrospect I wonder what the rest of the players in that battleground were thinking. "WTF? Why is she using a fishing rod? What are the stats on that thing and why is it better than a staff?" I think you had better try another pick-up line with her. Or she might reel you in...

Ah, the old Warcraft battlegrounds. I still remember one of my greatest battles ever. I was playing my Forsaken priestess at the time. The call to battle sounded while I was out fishing and I immediately got teleported to the Arathi Basin. Before I could even orient myself the gates opened and the battle began. After that there was no time for anything save do or die as the vile Alliance scum pressed the noble Horde to our limits. I was kept busy healing and warding our defenders every single moment and it was one of the damndest closest-run things I had ever seen. The scores of both sides raced towards the 2000 win condition with the advantage constantly switching back and forth until we finally claimed victory with a final score of 2000 to 1980. It was only as we victoriously returned to Orgrimmar to march triumphantly down the streets that I realised I still had my fishing rod equipped. I had fought the whole battle wielding my fishing rod instead of my holy staff. In hindsight I suspect that an undead priestess loses a good deal of her intimidation factor when she is menacingly brandishing a fishing rod instead of a staff.

Well, no matter what, can't blame a guy for wishful thinking, can you?

They aren't. However, they are that cheap.

Actually this is something you normally do not want to draw attention to. There is a number of crocodile-related insurance claims every year and if the insurance companies were to see a way to pin them on the Pharaoh they wouldn't hesitate a moment.

How very saddening.

Alas for my lost youth. Vanished in the mists of Electric Light Orchestra's "Time."

It reads, "Go straight to Arkham Asylum. If you pass Go, do not collect 1D10 San."

Playing Rush covers, I expect.

By now I've gone over to EZ-Pass. Saves so much time.

Did your duplicate happen to be chasing a lion and a unicorn and end up drumming them out of town?

Madness takes its toll!

Everything is up in the air again! Are Susan and Diane really sisters? Will Tedd confront Magic about his disappointment? Will PharaohRutinTutin's pyramid mortgage be foreclosed? Is mlooney's dishwasher secretly summoning Nyarlathotep? Is CritterKeeper really The Old Hack's maiden aunt? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT YEAR OF EGS! SAME EGS-HOMEPAGE, SAME EGS-FORUMS!

Err, I think it is slang. "I don't know jack" is another way of saying "I have no idea."

Ugh. Sorry to hear. Get better soon.

I think mine is in the Lost and Found somewhere. I haven't really missed it so I didn't go to check.

I dunno, don't they both involve getting a lot of people in a pyramid structure beneath you to get the darn thing set up? Only real difference I can see is that the Pharaoh has the structure set up in advance.

I know exactly what you mean. If I started to do the smart thing, I'd completely ruin my reputation.

Big talk from the man who thinks that a pyramid scheme is a proper way to arrange a burial.

I think I understand. My family was broken up by a divorce as well. Suffice it to say that it happened when I was only seven years old but that learning the whole story behind it when I was in my twenties turned out to be intensely traumatic. I cannot imagine Susan is having any easier a time of it now.
