Hey John! I was there at the meet and greet. You are correct, it was great fun and maybe we can do it again. I would have replied sooner but I just hit 77 on my Druid and have been a bit busy :-).

Cheers!

Oh, and as a final thought… all you people NOT working today… I loathe you… with a passion! *cries at his work-desk*

You’re not alone!
Early on the Simpsons was great.
It developed, it got funnier.
It hit a peak around the… 6th? 7th?… Season, I rememeber it well…
Then it just got a bit… silly
Still occasional gems, but lots of… silly.
Homer stopped being dumb but well meaning, and turned into a total idiot (big difference :))
It stopped being quite so insightful in places, and got rather formulaic…

Ah well.

Life goes on :)

Anyway… Fjord! Gjalerbron! We might as well TRY and teach the kids new words… you have to try, right?

Our teenager already called it ‘Howling Forge’ several times before I realised what the hell he was talking about ;P

for what it’s worth, lots of people I speak to in the UK agree that the current Simpsons shows just aren;t as funny as the older ones. I can go through entire new episodes without laughing these days. Thankfully there are regular repeats of Futurama as well…

You’re bitching about FJORD? Wait till you hit Gjalerbron (north end of Fjord). The questgiver even tells you how to pronounce it, but you think anyone reads the quests? nah…

Meh… Simpsons are overrated… they had a good run, but like the beloved family dog, it just needs to be put down after 19 years. I can see why fanbois wouldn’t want to loose their beloved family pet… I mean, the simpsons have been around for 2/3rds of my life. But me thinks that old dog has made it’s mark on the carpet too many times.

Probally good I wasn’t around last night… I would have been stoned to death probally :)

Have fun storming the castle, BBB (heh… talking about references that wont die)

Have a cold myself. Had to come to work today. :( And yeah, standing in the cold, with a cold…. not so good. >.< Oh well; it’s almost the weekend – at least my druid doesn’t have a cold! :P

Oh, yeah, I spaced on the Simpsons. I’ve never liked the show. Give me some good Animaniacs any day.

I had a lot of fun last night at the meet too! Though I didn’t last much longer. Installed, ran around spending gold on training and then crashed around 2:30AM myself.

Good to see folks in person (and with quest rewards respec’d pally to ret… let the beatdown begin )

B^3, you’re not alone among geeks in being “meh” about the Simpsons.
