The Bird is the Word
Or Geek Pride Day should be made a universal holiday! Luckiest day ever. I’m pretty sure this video will be watched hundreds of times … by me. Not that interesting if you’re not me but I just had to commemorate the event. I did not see this coming. I didn’t think that the Prairie Dog would turn out to be the lucky talisman that would finally, finally, win me The Reins of the Raven Lord but it did.
But you know now that I think about it, it probably wasn’t the prairie dog at all! It was my new avatar. I think that’s it! I mean I did this for years and the day I get a beautiful new avatar it drops? Kind of suspicious don’t you think? Maybe it’s a magical avatar! Maybe Vidyala puts a little magical something in them, might be worth looking into.
Anzu, 158th kill. I’ll kind of miss him. I had even started looting without paying attention, thought I had another Boomstick.
So here’s me running around on my bird with musical accompaniment. Had to go to Shattrath City and tell my homies I finally got him, just a few years late. All the NPCs seemed suitably impressed. Man, I don’t know what to do to follow that up, fishing? I don’t know, maybe I’ll just ride around some more.

OMG It’s about time!!!
A BIG HUGE GRATS for you!!!! The bird IS the word! 😀

Thanks! I really think it’s strange that right after I got my new avatar it finally dropped, spooky!
May 25, 2012 at 3:58 pm
It is spooky…and…AWESOME!! I have a feeling someone is going to sleep very well tonight! :p

I was sitting here thinking “woah, Tome posted again today?”…and then the second I read the title I knew what it had to mean. Congrats, it was well earned 🙂
May 25, 2012 at 3:55 pm
Thank you! I don’t think I’ll ride anything else. I have some other nice mounts but this bird eluded me for so long I’m not getting off him!

Might I suggest a lovely Transmog outfit to go along with your new ride?
May 25, 2012 at 6:13 pm
Geez JD, that’s a great idea. Usually though when I plan things in MogIt I then find they’re not really practical. I’ll have to look into it.
May 25, 2012 at 8:30 pm
Hrm…I might have work to do 😉
Besides, you know, I know this awesome guy who loves running around for transmog stuff…
May 25, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Yippeeee!!! A little magic is a useful thing!
May 25, 2012 at 4:05 pm
I know! If only I’d known sooner that an attractive avatar is key in getting good drops!
May 25, 2012 at 4:35 pm
is big fat hairy Congo rats!
May 25, 2012 at 6:08 pm
Oh no, he’s a handsome beady eyed bird, lol!
May 25, 2012 at 4:53 pm
OMGosh! Congrats and hugs!!!
May 25, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Can you believe it, I had almost lost hope!
May 25, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Congratulations!
May 25, 2012 at 6:10 pm
Thanks Erinys! Now I’ll have to find the next thing to fixate on!
May 25, 2012 at 7:03 pm
YAY! So glad Anzu finally decided to come home with you 😛
May 25, 2012 at 7:42 pm
Yes! Finally! I was in that room taking screen shots forever, as though to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt to myself!
May 25, 2012 at 8:23 pm
Woot! Congratulations! 😀
May 26, 2012 at 9:31 am
Thank you! My next wish is to find a Canopic Jar with a recipe in it!
May 25, 2012 at 10:45 pm
WHOO HOO! I’m so happy for you. Congrats Tome! Well deserved 😀 Try not to tire him out TOO much on his first day 😛
May 25, 2012 at 10:53 pm
OK I just watched the video after commenting because I wanted to say how happy I was for you but now that I’ve seen the video – I think you managed to go to most of the hotspots except for one… I can see your guy perched on top of one of those huge birds nests in Mount Hyjal. I think it’s the Shrine of Aviana…
May 26, 2012 at 9:32 am
Thanks Cym! That is a great idea, I’ll have to get a screen shot of him in one of those nests.
May 26, 2012 at 1:25 am
OMG huge congrats! Best thing ever to happen on Geek day! Now why didn’t you mention that to me earlier today or did it happen after I chatted to you? 🙂
May 26, 2012 at 9:34 am
I know! Now I’ll always remember what day is Geek Pride day, lol.
I guess I thought you had read it, I’m never sure if you’ve just woken up or if you’re just going to bed over there. Only thing I can remember is you are always ahead of me!
May 26, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Now you’ll think I’m a rude person for not congratulating you online! Silly me, next time I see you i will make sure I peep at your blog first!
May 27, 2012 at 8:42 am
No I don’t!
May 27, 2012 at 2:53 am
Yaaaaay! 😀 😀
May 27, 2012 at 8:41 am
Thanks Rio!
May 27, 2012 at 6:31 pm
Ancient, it’s been 2 days since you posted! What are you doing? 😀
May 27, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Daughter’s birthday weekend, I’m sneaking on the iPad right now, hope I don’t get caught!
May 28, 2012 at 6:22 am
Woah, congrats! I sort of gave up after a hundred kills – perhaps this will be an incentive to start again. Have fun parading around!
May 28, 2012 at 7:12 am
Thanks Töki! I had given up for a while but started again, wanted him before Mists came out. I’m having fun finding nests for him to stand in and taking screen shots, lol!
