Absolute Bollocks
Two weeks ago to the day I attended my first trivia night. And won. (With just a little help from the other geniuses in my team, of course).
Unsurprisingly, following on from this unprecedented high, one week ago to the day I attended my second trivia night. And came third. Still respectable, yes, but slightly disappointing given the previous week's glory. And, in some ways, outright embarrassing as the winning team was a trio of teeny-chicks who had the air of particularly dense numbats about them.
Still, not to be put off, three hours ago to the now I attended my third trivia night. And came, well, somewhere beyond third - I lost count. Fair enough that the questions this week were a degree of difficulty higher than previous weeks, and may have suited some people's particular topics of interest (i.e. Shakespeare & Greek & Roman Mythology)....
But it is ABSOLUTE BOLLOCKS that the triad of devilry won again. Having suffered a second taunting from these children, it became clear in my mind that they must be witches and we should BURN THEM. However, just as I reached for the lighter, a colleague tactfully pointed out that the chickettes appeared to have been using a magical device to assist them throughout the night. A telephone of mobility. Or "mobile phone", they said.
To this minute, it is still unknown whether the chicklets phoned a friend or are, indeed, witches. Either way, I stick to the point that their victory is absolute bollocks and we should, without hesitation, burn them.

World of Warcraft (and Silly Little Boys)
A most amazing thing happened to me the other day when I was playing Warcraft...
Most Warcraft sessions involve me seeking out fellow players to help in the odd quest. But the other day a strange thing happened - I received an unprecedented number of group invites, guild membership proposals and unsolicited comments.
One guy (a pov little lvl 1 human) even singled out my alt's* avatar** (Tinks) amongst the throng outside Stormwind auction house, and proceeded to follow me to the bank and out to the Stormwind gates. He soon whispered me***, which I stupidly responded to, and the next thing I knew he was following me out the gates into Elwynn Forest. I tried to hide behind one of the castle's buttresses on the way out, but no cigar.
He asked if he could hang out with me, but I explained that with me being a mighty lvl 12 and him a lowly lvl 1, I just didn't think the relationship would work. Despite this seemingly reasonable argument, he blindly followed me into Elwynn Forest where he was promptly slaughtered by a murloc. Sadly not before he offered to pay**** me to let him hang around though.
(And yes, I asked him what exactly he thought he'd be buying, and he responded with 'A friend').
(Puh-).
(-Lease).
Fortunately, I ran away before he ressed***** and haven't heard from him since.
I guess what still stumps me is what the big deal was the other day. Jesse thinks it may have been my sparkling personality. But I don't know...
Methinks Tinks' newly-acquired Bloodspattered Loincloth of the Bear may also bear some responsibility.
*"Alt" - alternative character (generally created when supreme boredom with your initial character kicks in).
**"Avatar" - visual representation of a character.
***"Whisper" - the act of sending a real-time message exclusively to one player.
****"Pay me" - in WoW money of course... what do you take me for?
*****"Ressed" - resurrected. .. duh...

Noobs
Although I feel somewhat advanced in the WoW arena these days - being up with the acronyms and having created my first alt - I haven't forgotten those painful, early days as a noob.
And so, for all the noobs out there... this one's for you.

Out of Retirement
Bonjour encore mine kiddles.
Although I have relished the relaxing, 6-or-so month hiatus I have had from blogging, I have a sudden compulsion to get back in the game. To dust myself off and get back on the horse shall we say. To throw my hat back in the ring.
And the filmies:
For the nerds:
And the nerdiers:
And finally, in a tribute to the classics, the original and arguably the best - the 'happycat':

'What could cause such a ruckus?' I hear you think. Well this is gold, my friends. Pure gold. A genius website with an appropriately genius title: I Can Has Cheezburger? You may delve into this gem at your leisure (and there really is much delving to be done, my treasures). But to get you in the mood, here are some current hot shots...
For the sporties:
And the filmies:
For the lost:

kthx. brb. bai.
