So, hello. Welcome! Hiya! How ya doin’?
Today marks the 7th anniversary of the big bear butt and cassie.
Last night, we celebrated by going to a BBQ joint, and then got our son a t-ball bat, glove and related gear.
Note; I intentionally did NOT say that we got our son a set of balls. It wouldn’t be appropriate.
Oh, wait. What? Crap.
These days, to share an example of how a married couple incorporates WoW speech into daily life, I wanted to share this with you.
As our anniversary approached, I asked my wife what she wanted for a present.
Her answer?
“We’re not going to have an anniversary. I /mquit!”
And she SAID the “slash” part, btw.
Sad. Just sad.
I did almost die laughing, it was the most awesomeest… but still.
And taking that idea and running with it… I want to see the divorce court judge handle THAT argument.
Her lawyer; “Your honor, my client wants to keep all of her in game gold, due to it having been earned by her through farming, crafting and skilled use of the Auction House.”
His lawyer; “Objection, your honor! My client spent many hours farming mats and gave them over free of charge in order to further the plaintiff’s Auction House earnings. We feel it’s only right that half of those earnings be shared.”
Her lawyer; “Your honor, it’s true that materials were mailed over, but my client feels that the subsidizing of two epic flying skills should more than compensate for his lost time through farming.”
And the Judge says, “…. what the hell are you two idiots blabbering about? What gold?”
And you know some lawyer will say, “The plaintiff has in-game gold assets currently equivalent to $1700 if rated against gold selling services going rates and taking into account market fluctuations, your honor. That is legitimate income that needs to be divided fairly to all concerned.”
You know it’s coming.
You KNOW it’s coming, somewhere.
Happy anniversary, sweetie. And thanks for the epics! What a great present!
EDIT: Cassie has instructed me to tell you that, unlike SOME people, I do not know what gold sells for… therefore, she does not have the amount of gold that the dollar amount above represents… so hackers, piss off and leave her account alone.

Happy Anniversary!
Someone in my guild (a couple years ago) got awarded his wife’s WoW account in their divorce. (The divorce was because of someone she met on WoW, but that’s another story.)

So my hubby and I were sitting in front of our computers one afternoon discussing what to have for lunch while we were farming. He looks over at me and says “Do we have the mats for a sandwhich?” I had to pause for a minute to make sure I had heard correctly. I’ve never let him live that one down!
Grats on 7 years!

Hehehehe… /mquit… if only it was that easy.

So her extensive pet collection..is there going to be a custody battle over those as well? What about the division of soulbound loot? How do you explain that to a judge?
“Your honor, I literally can’t give her these items..they’re…bound to my soul..”
$1,700 in gold eh? If the going rate is $45 per 1K..that would mean she has somewhere around 38,000 gold? /handout

So ‘Render…. how exactly do you know so much about what gold costs irl?
Hmmmmmm?
May 19th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Lets just hope she never /mquits to find a more progressed and hardcore bear… Of course, judging from the stories I don’t know if that’s possible.
how exactly do you know so much about what gold costs irl?
Spend 5 minutes near the bank of any major city and you’ll find out when “Dplvpx” starts spamming it in Yells.

Ahem.
*points to sid67’s comment*
I rest my case your honor.
Actually, I’m a savage cheatorious space blueberry and have bought MILLIONS in WoW gold. I have single-handedly supported entire villages in China with the amount of gold I buy! But I tool around in a level 20 Shaman alt suit to throw the Blizzard Hounds off my trail… /shhhhhhhh

You know Deathrender I started doing the math as well and was stunned into muteness at the possible number. Two words for you…sugar mama. *gets a roguish gleam in his eye*
*sidles up to Cassie* You look parched and exhausted m’lady. *activates his Romantic Picnic Basket* Sit down for a spell and rest those weary feet. How about some fine Stormwind Pinot and a foot rub to help you relax? Word has it you are fresh out of a relationship. Life in Azeroth can be quite lonely and cold. If you need another bear rug to keep you warm and comforted just let me know.
/mquit…priceless
I wish you both many more anniversaries to come. A good marriage is a priceless and joyful thing.

But…
What were the presents?
I was expecting to be amazed and astounded with the Epics and Pets that had showered down upon each of your heads…

Mrs Leafy and I just passed five years, so you’re two levels ahead…

Wow!
Gratz to both of you =)

My wife and I hit 8 years married earlier this month.
Which really is amazing, as we almost broke up two years ago due to activities related to online chatting, and where it can go once one discovers that a person on the other end of the line lives an hour away, and the other spouse decides that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
It’s taken us stepping away from WoW for a few months, but we’re a closer couple now than we were before
Interesting that someone won their spouse’s WoW account in the divorce though, serves the cheater right, IMO.
