Happy New Year to all of you!

I hope everything is starting out well for you.

Thank you all who have wished us and Molly well over the last week. We really do appreciate it, and Cassie and I do read every message and, where there is advice, we take it to heart.

As Cassie said, Molly seems to be keeping the food down, and the horrible yellow color to her lips is changing to a healthy pink. we hope to increase the amount of food we give her starting tomorrow.

She had been having problems keeping it down, and we finally decided we would blame the medicine the vet prescribed to help settle her stomach and KEEP her from throwing up. We stopped giving her that medicine, and she’s been keeping the food down ever since. Connected? Who knows. Probably a fluke the universe is throwing at me to feed my paranoia.

In unrelated news, my latest article on leveling a new Druid, in this case from 6 to 10, is live at WoW Insider. If you’d like to wax nostalgic over the olden days of your Druid, go check it out.

Also, played my ancient abandoned Priest last night. I’d played to 24 and then got wrapped up in bear tanking and hunting. I went back last night and duo-ed much of Redridge with a guildie on his 24 Mage.

Can I just say that, even though I KNOW my talent points are spent WRONG, that I had a blast discovering the joys of Fearing two mobs, using Mind Flay, Shadow Word Pain and various other bouncing spells. At a few points, during the Escort quest of Keegan, we were single handedly wiping out the whole village outside the cave mouth, and as one group of 4 went down, the next group would respawn and we’d spank them too. It gave a heady feeling of power, indeed. Fear followed by Flash Heals and Heal and Renew and then blast blast blast!

I have searched all of my favorite Priest blogs, because I remember someone made a ‘Talent Speccing Shadow to level 26′ post, but I can’t find it. Can anyone link it to me so I can go respec properly?

I thank you all very kindly in advance!

Be advised… the following is not remotely safe for work, home, small children, Mormons, or my mom. Seriously. Screaming profanity is the norm, and some of the images are… immature. On the other hand… I think it’s great.

What follows is the infamous “50 DKP Minus” Vent speech from a raid leader during an Onyxia run. And the audio ahs been set to a series of images that remarkably bring the words to life.

All I can say is… “Whelps”

Happy new Year!

Our guild is going through turmoil as we restructure our raid groups, and prepare for the 25 mans that lie ahead.

In honor of those that have raided before us, I thought it a good idea to ressurect my absolute favorite video montage of the “50 DKP Minus” failed Onyxia run.

I know that, for me, the fact that I ran Onyxia until my eyes ached makes the play-by-play come alive… in all it’s morbid fascination.

If you never run Onyxias’ Lair.. I have no idea how well it translates. But this is a part of all raiders’ heritage. It deserves to see the light of day once more.
