I changed them around towards the end but my mains in order were mage (half my playtime), shaman (brief), deathknight (the most fun), priest, druid.

I had a pet raccoon growing up and it would try to get on the school bus with me every morning and I'd have to sprint to the bus and jump in and they'd slam the door on the raccoon. raccoon's name was Blinky (5 yo sd named him).

I had a pet prairie dog. Like a real pet prairie dog, not a prairie dog that I found in a field. A weird pet store had them one time and I convinced my mom to let me get it. It ruled and he was my pal. He would bite the crap out of you if you made him mad, but otherwise he would sit on your lap or shoulder and eat peanuts and just look adorable. If he was ever missing, all you had to do was fake sneeze or cough and he would do his bark and come running to you. RIP scratch, he finally escaped one day and never came back because prairie dogs aren't supposed to live in houses.

Amazing. How long did you have it before it escaped? Did it use a litterbox or how did it just crap all over??

Good questions. I think he made it a year or two. Maybe less. Had a litter box, but wild animals normally aren't easy to train so he pretty much just crap all over the place. It was little rabbit pellet type poops so we just vacuumed a lot. Plus, I was pretty white trash back then so some prairie dog poop pellets in the corners weren't really a problem for us.

I am allergic to certain types of metal touching my skin and will break out in a rash after prolonged contact, been that way since a kid. No necklaces or watches here.
Just did a quick search on this and you might be a member of the Fey.

After 40 years of not being a morning person I'm trying to become a morning person. Mixed results so far.

I'm a morning person in the sense that I go to bed early in the morning

I was in a band that won "Greek Idol" back to back years at K-State and one year Taco Wallace was a judge. One year we won like $100 Houlihan's gift card.

I was also a person who openly mocked greek culture at every possible opportunity, which made it very funny that I won a Greek contest (at least funny to me).

When Santa visited my house when I was a young person he would leave me and my sister each a letter, encouraging us to follow Christ (and presents of course).

In retrospect I don't think this was a great idea but I mostly kinda lol at it.

at its core, isn’t band culture the same as greek culture?

what's the overlap? Just some people doing something together?

I saw the other day that a musical instrument was discovered, dating back 400,00 years.

I logged over 14k hours in world of warcraft over about 4 years.

4 years is 35,000 hours, so that means you spent 40% of that period of time playing WoW. Mildly interesting.

Even 14k total in 4 years. That’s like 67 hours a week playing WoW.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

It’s almost a full time job being that dedicated.

I'm getting the sense many of you did not play WoW lol

I still have a baby tooth and I barfed the first time I had creamed peas as a kid.  I haven't had a green pea since. :Yuck:
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

Reminds me of my insanely frugal aunt who would feed me overgrown green beans from her garden with seeds the size lima beans inside. She accused me of being a picky eater when I almost gagged on that inedible crap.
