So, web pages are giving me conflicting information on this - is Taunt reobtainable?

And if it isn't, does anybody know what the easiest way to breed it to a normal or water Pokemon from Chimchar is?

What did I do tonight?

The hardest part about Jewel Crafting is getting the skill up to 305. Up to 300 isn't quite so bad, but there are precious few default designs that will guarantee you a point of skill from 300 to 305. You could, I suppose cut gems at 300 in hopes - but I didn't have that many.

Anyway, I finally did make it there, and bought the large number of default designs from Honor Hold. Now I can work on finding some of the others....

On the way, I went hunting for the elemental leader in Un'Goro, where I was getting thorium and mithril, and Azshara, where I realized I'd never taken this character to. Every time I'm there I almost want to cry, because it's such a *waste* of a zone. It's beautiful to look at, but Blizzard has given us almost no reason to go there. It's as if the only reason it exists is to have an out of the way place for the Burning Chasm quest line - which nobody really completes anymore anyway.

Oh well.

I am a night auditor for LQ.


Dear sir,

If you do not call in to tell someone at our lovely hotel that you will be running late, your reservation will be cancelled at 1 AM, and someone else will get your lovely room. Yelling at me when you get here will not change the fact that we are completely booked. Sorry. You should've called in.





Dear crazy lady:

If our rates are too high, don't sit there and scream at me in the lobby. It's 7:15 AM and I was supposed to be home by 7 AM. Go somewhere else, you cheapskate. You get what you pay for. I don't care if you spent all your money filling up your gas-guzzling truck. I fill my car up with premium every 2 weeks and don't blink because I KNOW the gas is cheap at $3.89 a gallon. It's better than pay $15 like in some countries. Don't sit there and tell everyone in the lobby (who is checked in, eating breakfast) that our rates are too high. Everyone is thinking about what an arse you are making of yourself. This is a higher-end hotel. Sorry?





Dear guy with the dog:

When a doggie goes poopie in your room, you clean it up. You don't let it sit there for days. Clean up their boom-boom. You went out of town for 2 weeks, and your doggie almost starved to death. If it wasn't for the front desk, it would have died. Why do you even have a dog if you are at work 16 hours a day and then go clubbing afterwards?




Dear naked couple:

I told you at check-in about the doors. If they close, they automatically lock. Having a good time is one thing, but don't share it with the first floor! When you chased your girfriend/wife/mistress/other out of the room, that "click" told you that, indeed, you are locked out. And please, don't come down to the front desk in your birthday suits in front of other guests and ask for another room key. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!????



Dear everyone:

STOP RUNNING INTO THE PLANTS!!! Thank you. There is a WALL OF VEGETATION THERE! It's not an optical illusion, I promise you.



Dear lady who is mistaken:

No, I don't care what your "Travel Book" said about our hotel. Our rates aren't that cheap. Yes, I see that's what the book says. No, I cannot change the rate. Our rates constantly change, and the book you're holding doesn't have a magical device in it to change it to the rate our hotel is now. Sorry. No, I'm not being mean. If you want to stay here, you pay the price like everyone else does or go somewhere else. Why don't you call around next time, or just use the INTERNET and make a cheap reservation?


Dear everyone (again):

When I say "we're full", that's what it means- we have no rooms left to sell. Standing there for 5 minutes isn't going to make a room appear before your very eyes. Don't ask me, "You don't have ANY rooms? No rooms AT ALL?" The answer is going to be no. And don't even try to sleep in our parking lot, you freeloader.



~Thanks,
Your lovely night auditor
HAY GUYS. So I know there's already been posts about Anime Expo, but whatever. I took some pics and thought I would share them with you guys. I personally cosplayed as Marill. If anyone is lurking and has other pics please post 8)

Deathknight Forum Icons

That armor looks pretty cool. :)

A Request! I have one...

  • Jul. 7th, 2008 at 11:50 AM
A lot of people belong to this community, and a lot of the time they supply their server names when posting or replying to posts.
This includes posts mainly on the topic of moving servers, guild adverts, RP servers etc. 

My problem is, Unless they say stuff like PST, etc, i never know whether they are on US or EU realms.

Am I missing something? Am I the only one having this problem? And if not....
Please, please, please could you include your server region when posting about stuff like this?

Just to make things easier for lil ol me, so that if I ever think of transferring, and I see that Moon Guard is a great RP server, that I know whether you mean MG US or MG EU....

Thank you so much!

Raunchy 80s movie

  • Jul. 7th, 2008 at 4:27 AM
When I was younger, my mom rented a lot of videos. She would watch the movies after dinner, and more often than not, my 4 year old self couldn't stay awake long, so I only remember snippets of the movies she watched back then.

Anywho, my mom would let me watch some of the movies with her, depending on the content. But every once in a while she'd mistakenly let me watch movies I had no business watching.

One such movie involved a scene in a principal's office (I think), where a popular guy sneaks in with two girls. The girls strip down to their undies, get on all fours and start growling and generally acting not-seductive.
The guy sees the principal coming through the window and then lights the office's drapes on fire with a match as a distraction so he and the girls can escape.

My memory stops abruptly at that point, so I think my mom may have sent me to bed.

I've thought of this scene every once in a while for the last twenty years (I'm 24) because I think it's the first time I saw anything that sexual. Does anyone know the name of this movie?

Maaaaaay(Collection and note post)

Recap: I'm a carhop.
Just a few general customer sucks...

Concerning trash,
     Who in their right mind thinks it's perfectly acceptable to just dump trash all over the parking lot? I understand if you drop your straw or a napkin and don't want to get out of your car or fuss over it, but when I come back to your car to hand you your credit card reciept and your just tossing bits of lettuce and tomato and all kinds of other nonsense out your window onto the ground I seriously have to question how you were raised. Would you find it acceptable for people to come eat at your house and throw food all over your driveway? Common sense, use it. 
      Though to the people who placed all their trash into a bag and dumped it on the ground by their car when there are trash cans all over the lot... DIAF, plz.

Concerning the skates,
     Yes! I'm on roller blades! How nice of you to notice. Compliments are fine and while I've heard 'I'd hurt myself doing that.' a min. of 5x a day it is alright as well. What I don't need to hear is 'Oh! Your going to fall!', 'Wow, your not too good at that.', 'So, how many times have you fallen?'(zero, thank you very much!), or anything of such a nature as  your lack of faith in my ability to do my job is just a tad unsettling. 
     On the flip side, on the rare occation I'm not wearing skates, please don't complain about me not wearing them as that's just a bit rude(especally given hardly anyone at my store does skate).

Concerning children,
       I understand that when it's nice out and you have a swarm of children to feed sitting on the patio can be a good idea, and save you the trouble of cleaning out your car afterwards, though please be sure to watch/control them. For one the patio area is only so large and there are other customers in their cars coming by a lot and carhops rushing about with trays full of food. Both of these are serious hazards should your child get in their way.

And, on a less 'general c_s', note...
Ma'am, you ordered an ice latte'. What the hell makes you think your entitled to a free one later because you didn't like that there was ice in it? *facepalm*
Sir, you ordered a blue coconut slush and that is exactly what you got. Drinking half of it, deciding you don't like it, and demanding a different flavor is not cool. Your an adult, suck it up. 
Sir, please stop stalking my co-worker. I don't care that a year ago she went on a date with you, it never went beyond that and we all find you creepy. Please go away now.

OK, I need an upload site that'll let me load a 36.1 MB file without making an account. Yousendit tells me I need to sign up, Megaupload has really sexist ads on every page, and Box wants me to sign up too and also doesn't tell me how long the uploads last.

Who has a good upload site that's accessable by people all over the world? Moreover, are Box or Yousendit worth it? How much are they? Because I need this loaded *today* and without a credit card I'd have to mail them payment.


Aah, there we go, using Sendspace! Thanks!

Earlier tonight I heard in gchat:

"There's a queue to get into Moon Guard."

As I was in Gruul's I really didn't want to log out and check, and neither did anyone I knew. Can anyone who tried to log in to the server at peak times yesterday confirm/deny this? I know many of you ladies play there. O.O Terrified minds want to know. (I just poked my nose onto the server forums and I think it's true. Meep!)
Not sure if any of you fools are going to this, but I figured I'd ask... (not even sure if any of you are avid booze drinkers) regardless, if you are planning on going and live within the Missouri/Kansas area and would like a ride to save on gas monies and hotel room I'm offering my services...

It also says "While supplies last."

Today is the last day of the sale.






STOP BITCHING THAT THERE ARE NO 90% OFF ITEMS.
