Strange Compulsions and Dance Butt

I am so busted. Yep … it’s been revealed. I’m apparently the world’s foremost authority on dance butt. Those powerful, omniscient, search engines have determined I’m the go-to guy when you need your dance butt information. Really, I’m flattered but … um … what is dance butt? Anybody? Come on, someone has to know. You either? Yes, yes, the whole Raquel Welch thing is from a past indiscretion but I’ve learned my lesson, won’t happen again.

So anyway, I was overcome by this strange compulsion, I just couldn’t fight it anymore. I got it in my head that I shouldn’t have any level 1 battle pets. How unloved and neglected they must feel, I should get ALL the pets to at least level 5. OMG! Did that take forever, I didn’t know I had that many. Whew. I seem to be back to normal sort of, but I feel it won’t be long before I think they should all be at least level 10.

So I thought I’d get back to PvP pet battles. I had tried them when they came out, with low level teams. It’s interesting how things change. Pandaren Monk was all the rage back then. I tried them again after I had some level 25s. Lil’ Ragnaros seemed to dominate during this period and I must have missed the Fluxfire Feline stage. This time EVERY team I met had an Electrified Razortooth. I hadn’t even used mine yet.

I tried to come up with a suitable team but as always got distracted by things like an all rabbit team because I like to watch them jump around, not the best strategy if I ever want to get Experienced Pet Brawler.  So I figured I needed the help of someone who THINKS about pet battles and does not base their teams on cuteness or Ion Canons just because. I remembered a Ratshag post about a team Hydra used with great success. All but one of my wins were thanks to that team. Still have a ways to go though as I can’t seem to give up on my bunny team which is slowing things down.

So with all this pet battling I have accumulated gazillions of Lesser Charms of Good Fortune. I frequently get 5 or 6 for a battle. I really wish you could spend them on something battle pet related. I don’t know, maybe be able to buy a Flawless Battle-Stones for an exorbitant price.

Oh wait! I thought this was so interesting, a class on MMOs! I’m wondering if I should take it except then it would take time away from actually playing one, hard decision.

And I did something incredibly stupid, I just wasn’t thinking.  I deleted my Goblin healer as it was evident she wasn’t going anywhere. NO! NO! I love Goblins, just not the starting area, why didn’t I just respec her! Noooooo …

So ever since, this big comedian Nomi gives me spirit food every day. EVERY day. And what’s up with that kid anyway. What am I supposed to be? What are YOU supposed to be, that’s what I want to know. I thought you were a girl but you keep telling me you’re going to grow a beard. Who’s weird now Nomi? Anyway, the dailies had a few minutes before they reset so I took Nomi along to gather some leather. Hoping (yeah right) an unfortunate accident wouldn’t occur, like Nomi being crushed by falling Mushan or anything. No luck, Nomi made it and then gave me MORE spirit food. I’m not kidding kid, you’re days are numbered. Just giving you fair warning, this behavior must stop. Nobody buys this crap and I don’t need it.

It might be the stupidest reason ever for rolling another Priest Goblin … because I have all this spirit food … naw … makes sense to me!

Okay, this one’s for you Redbeard!

Enabling Jogu the Drunk and Pets!

OMG Cat! You’re going to stare a hole through Brad Rhodes! Stop it, it’s embarrassing! Yes, she’s been trying to come up with 10 days of Pet Battles but keeps getting side-tracked by well … things. She’s been having a moral dilemma over Jogu the Drunk. Buy A Fish A Drink? Buy A Fish A Keg? She really feels she should stop contributing to his problem, but darn the pays too good.

She couldn’t wait to get her Onyx Cloud Serpent to ride but now finds it makes her nauseous when she rides it, so she just mounts it and kinda stands there … looking cool. Or not. Who knows. Okay, enough. Let’s get down to business.

Oh wait, just one more thing.

I wonder if anyone else has had this happen. Moruk is sweet on Cat apparently. He gives her a Flawless Battle-stone of some kind VERY frequently, so frequently that I think he’s going to get in trouble with the RNG Department. Oh and that Courageous Yon NEVER gives her anything. Perhaps he’s heard what a slacker she was at helping out the Shado-Pan.

Okay now I’m REALLY ready. I’m doing it all at once to make it look like I have a lot to say.

Day 1:  Your first day pet battling.

I vaguely remember I seemed to think PvP battles were what you were supposed to do. I can’t remember all my team except for Clockwork Gnome. I proudly entered the ring with no concept of which pets worked best against other pet types with three level ones expecting to meet three other level ones.

My team was beaten to a pulp repeatedly by a variety of teams consisting of a level range between 1 to 7. My Clockwork Gnome was annihilated by a Elemental. My learning began. We were hammered by a Pandaren. Perhaps we should do some reading and come back when we have a level 25 team and that was day one.

Day 2:  What pets don’t you like and why?

Bugs and Beetles and Roaches. Ugh. I don’t even care if they kick butt I’m not using them. Ick! Ick! Ick!

Day 3:  Who is your favourite pet?  If you could bring it out into the real world, tell me what you imagine you would be doing.

I know I said if I ever got a Minfernal I would beat it to death for playing that hard to get, but I found once I HAD one it was love at first sight. I didn’t care that he was common. Then Navi made him a rare with her Battle-Stone and I loved him EVEN MORE!

In the real world? I guess I’d take him with us on our dog walks to impress the neighbors. You think he’s rare in Azeroth? That’s nothing to how he’d stand out here! We’d be the talk of the neighborhood, not sure in a good way though. I’m afraid he might do some lawn-scorching along the way.

Day 4: What was the most epic pet battle/capture you ever had?

I GOT A MINFERNAL!!!!! YAY! YAY!

Day 5: What pet do you want more than any other pet?  What would you do to get it?

MINFERNAL! LOL! I transferred to a magic PvP server to obtain him.

Day 6: What pets have you got in your favourite team(s)?

This one’s hard as it changes all the time and pets go in and out of favor and the teams change all the time and I have so many.

I like some of my Dragonkin with heals a lot as they’re good utility players but I STILL haven’t perfected my perfect team.

Day 7: Do you use mods?  If you could only have one pet mod, what would it be and why?

I use quite a few but the one I couldn’t do without is PetBattle Teams. Best thing ever.

Day 8: What is the stupidest thing(s) you have ever done in a pet battle?

I wish I could say there was a stupid thing I did once. But I can’t. I REPEATEDLY do this. I forget to check to make sure my team is healed up from the last battle and engage to find one dead, one at half health. This used to be painful as I had to waste a bandage. Now since bandages have multiplied like rabbits it’s not such an issue, but still! Stop doing it!

Day 9: What is your favourite pet ability?  If you could have a pet with your favourite abilities, what would they be?

Right now it’s Tranquil Mechanical Yeti’s Ion Cannon!

Oh, I’d do something stupid like a great heal, stone rush without the damage to my pet and ION CANNON! Oh, and maybe make the cooldown on Ion Cannon shorter too.

Day 10: Design a pet!  What model would your pet have, where would it come from and what abilities would it have?

This is my pet. He comes from the seventh level of hell and I would steal his ability from the Hozen Idol and it would work on critters AND Elementals!

Contest! Win a Nasty Little Earth Spirit Pet!

Yes, my battle team smacked down that Thundering Spirit to prise that Earth Spirit out of its hands. After all the pain that Thundering Spirit has put me through I didn’t feel the least bit guilty either. HA! In fact I did it again and again and ended up with a surplus. This morning I received my wonderful poem from Navi and I had an epiphany!

I love all things (except you, Minfernal) battle pet related. Ratshag has a battle pet story that I’ve gone back and reread I don’t know how many times.

Matty told the tale of Mrs. Whitworth saving the day, I loved it. When I read Navi’s ode to Minfernal I thought selfishly, hey, maybe I can bribe people to write more for ME ME ME!

So if you have a tale to tell about your favorite battle pet, an epic tamer battle or anything related to battle pets I would so love to read it. A story, a poem, whatever you like. If you would link your post here so I can find you, or if you don’t have a blog just post your story or poem in a comment here.

Oh February 1st I will take all the names and /roll for each one. Yes, I’m taking the chicken way out. I am not going to pick because, if you know me, all you’d have to do would be write a dog story, and YAY, you won. See … I’m not that objective.

On February 2 (my dog’s birthday) I will post the winner and then endeavor to reach your server to mail your Earth Spirit to you. I am not a world traveler like Navi, so I don’t know how to get on European servers. So shipping only works to US or Oceanic, if you’re on a European server you’d have to slog your way to US Fenris.

My devious plot begins! Will I be able to get more battle pet stories and poems to read? Only time will tell, squeeeee, got my fingers crossed!

Thank you so much Navi! I love my poem, can’t say the same for Minfernal, BUT his poem I love!

Reflection at the End of the World

So we’re on the eve of the end of the world according to some. If it’s true, I’m going to feel really stupid that I didn’t empty our bank account and buy a top of the line, fastest, bestest, computer ever to use until the end.

Seemed appropriate to spend some time quietly reflecting … just in case. Cat set off to Shattrath to pay a visit to World’s End Tavern, I mean where else would you contemplate deeply at a time like this.

Okay … it’s the end of the line … some deep and reflective thinking is called for. Cat? Cat? Any thoughts come to mind?

Yes … WHY IN THE WORLD IS THE TEAM I ALWAYS USED ON THUNDERING SPIRIT TAMER SUDDENLY NOT CAPABLE!!!!

I mean I’m not saying they always took her out the first go at her, it generally took one to three tries but this morning I think we had about five tries AND NOTHING!

Really Cat? The end of the world and that’s all you’ve got?

Well no, I have another.

Oh good, that’s a relief. I’d hate to think that at the end of the world all you thought about was pet battles, what else?

Well, my RNG luck has deserted me and I was trying to come to terms with it. I shouldn’t get mad when my luck’s bad, I should consider my RNG luck in other things. I mean I haven’t been struck by lightening yet, or a meteorite. That’s RNG luck isn’t it?

Well … yeah, I guess so. So that’s it? Those are all the deep thoughts you came up with? How many drinks did you have anyway?

Oh, a few. Anyway, I’ve got to get out of here. That stupid, rotten, dumbface Thundering Tamer is not getting away with this. I have to get back there and defeat her one more time … you know … just in case.

Flawless Battle-Stones, Livid Warlock and Starting Fresh

Yeah really. How bad is that. That’s Ironsally’s twin sister, she’s got talents but that’s about all she’s got. She certainly has no sense of style … what … oh, she says I HAVE NO SENSE OF STYLE. She’s really mad, I don’t know why it’s so fun to do this to a Warlock, I mean I love Warlocks but something twisted in me always gets a thrill out of making her wear outlandish outfits. But come on, you’re leveling, it happens. BUT AN UMBRELLA! By all that’s unholy would you for pete’s sake get me a staff or something! RIGHT NOW! She didn’t really say for pete’s sake but I’m trying to edit for PG13.

Okay, enough with the harassment of Warlocks, I really should stop as it’s dangerous.

The other day I put some of the hundreds of stupid glyphs my Scribe made leveling up on the AH. Just for something to do because they are pretty much worthless on my server, I have NEVER been able to make any money on these things yet I’m hanging on to them because it just seems wrong to vendor all her hard work.

I can’t remember which glyph it was but it was posted at 20 gold with a buyout of 25 gold. When I next checked there was a bid on it. HOLY FLIPPING ELUNE! I was stunned, there are people to who the difference of 5 gold is an issue? It’s been so long that I had forgotten. So I canceled the auction and sent them one for free and got to feel all holiday-spirited, so now I think I’ll list those worthless things at really low prices because there are people starting fresh, yay, a use for those bag wasters! It brought back the memories of my Hunter at about level 24 with 4s. Really. She spent all her money buying her pets food to make them really, really, like her.

Yep. Wait for it … here it comes! Pet Battles. I’ve read about people complaining about the dearth of Flawless Battle-Stones. I felt kind of guilty because I’ve received so many I even upgraded some pets just because I liked their looks rather than stats. I wish I could say I was paying attention and could see a pattern as to why so many dropped.

Of course I pet battle a lot, but the only other thing I can think of that may have something to do with it are the teams I use. My leveling teams have a coach, Emperor Crab. A level 25 crab takes two rookies starting at level 6 or 7 who can withstand one round to the Heartland. The pets around there are pretty safe. You can usually count on a Marsh Fiddler in a group who is safe for a low level. I just make sure the lowbies don’t go against a pet with a poison attack or a turtle with grasp.

Admittedly it’s pretty boring slogging through three pets with my tanky crab but it’s my unscientific conclusion as to why so many Flawless Battle-Stones have dropped. I have many crabs, so many teams with low levels so I can go through them and before you know it the eight minute cooldown is done. Don’t have to waste bandages.

So there you go. My totally unscientific theory on my high drop rate, it’s probably complete bunk but hey, you never know!

Pet Battles … The Shocking Truth

… is that I really have an addiction. This from someone who thought … yeah big whoop … about pet battles. I can’t wait to visit the Darkmoon Faire and thrill in the power that is my Lil’ Ragnaros every day. BY FIRE BE BURNED!!! I yell it along with him, works out fine when I’m alone but it’s becoming so ingrained that I hope I don’t start yelling it out on the phone with a client.

Which is another thing I love about pet battles, I can stop in the middle and take a call. No one dies, everything stops just where it was and they all wait for me! Perfect! I have frequently died in the past from phone calls which is fine by me but one reason I didn’t like to group, as I can’t let other people’s characters die for my job, that’s just wrong. So pet battles! Perfect for people who are supposed to be working but aren’t!

I even have a little black book. In it I keep notes on what pets could use an upgrade, who works well against who and a list of my teams because I got a little pet battle dyslexic there for a while. I am very fond of Axel my Clockwork Gnome. I love his ow! ow! ow! and ouch, I became so enamored of Axel that I kept mistaking him for humanoid because come on, he’s Axel my bud! And then he was Axel the dead bud. So now I keep detailed notes in my closely-guarded little black book.Every Battle-Stone I receive is a thrill. It involves hours of study at www.warcraftpets.com and PetBattleArena making sure I upgrade a worthy pet. Do they have the stats I want? Could I use a better flying pet? Or would magic be better? So much to consider. Catwynn’s choice was made easy as the Battle-Stone was for flying. No contest, it’s the Crow. That Cat has no patience, so she figured that the odds of her camping a rare were about zero, so easy Rare Crow!

And that’s another thing, I wonder if anyone else does this. Cat is the pet battler. For some reason I must think that her months of experience at pet battling make her preferable to another character. I noticed the other day I had a character at the correct location but logged out and flew there so Cat could battle the tamer. You never know, best to play it safe.

When I first started pet battles I did it like everything else in-game, quickly. I must hurry to get him before he gets me, aaaahhhhhh! They died a lot. It was a eureka moment when I realized that I could take all the time in the world. I could calmly consider my next move. No one was going to jump me. I’ve done a lot better since. It’s like chess, no really.

I find it interesting that among so many fans of battle pets there are so many different interests. Some love hunting and capturing the rare ones. Some love PvP battles, some battling the tamers, others leveling all the pets.

Look at that! She gave me bandages AND a Pandaren Water Spirit! And here I though she really didn’t like me that much! Who knew! We’re BFFs now!

I told Navi I had an addiction. She asked if I wanted an intervention and I yelled, okay typed, NO NO NO! NEVER!  There is a lot that I love about this expansion. I like the farmers at Halfhill, in fact I like them so much I pay all their debts because I can’t beat them up. I was so touched by Farmer Yoon’s excitement when I bought an “Earth-Slasher” Master Plow for the farm. That Pandaren was giddy with joy over the addition to the farm. I like the beauty of the zones, even the creepy ones are gorgeous.

But I LOVE pet battles. My goal is to level EVERYTHING! I will then have a stable of choices, I can pick and choose. I can try different combinations. Cata lasted Cat about two months and then she had to get creative. Old content, Ironman challenges, making money. This time is different. I HAVE THE PET BATTLES! SQUEEEEEEE! Sorry … and yes, I do actually SQUEE aloud every time I get a Battle-Stone. My husband even now knows to turn to me and inquire, “Battle-Stone squee?” Ah … life is good.

Derp Queen’s Red Letter Day

A kind of funny story, it’s at someone’s expense but since it’s me that’s okay. One day Navi was telling me about a pet battle she had. It was looking really bleak until she called on her Gregarious Grell, who came in and saved the day. And against a team with a crab, I’m very fond of crab battle pets so I was very impressed.

I looked up my Gregarious Grell and told Navi, “Oh, mine’s poor quality.” She of course said, “But they’re rare.” I said I know, geez, why is this happening to me. Navi was wonderful, instead of telling me, “Ancient, you dope, it can’t be poor quality.” She sympathized with me.

So around about this time, yes, my mind takes a while to kick in, I thought, but hey … I don’t remember buying a Grell. Why do I even have one. Yes … well, I don’t. It came up as gray because I don’t have one. I told Navi and we ROTFLMAO for a while.

So today Navi said I should check my email. There in my inbox was the code for a Gregarious Grell!!! SQUEEEE! Of my very own, and RARE QUALITY not poor like my last one.

In six years of playing WoW do you know how many times I’ve walked past Landro Longshot in Booty Bay wishing for a word or a glance. I mean he’s The Black Flame! Nothing, he never knew I existed. UNTIL NOW! We’re like BFFs now! So not only did I get a wonderful pet, I was acknowledged by none other than Landro, finally! I mean is that a red letter day or what!

So today, the Navinator was born. In time, all will fear the Navinator. They will tremble at the sound of the name. They will forfeit at the sight of the Navinator! YES! THERE WILL BE LAMENTATIONS OF THE WOMEN TOO!

So no kissing up to the Shado-Pan or The Klaxxi today, no sir. Navinator’s training will begin. I will use my best coach to guild them. My Emperor Crab. I will have to pick a worthy leveling mate for him. I must speed level him to level 25! Leaving death and destruction in our wake! Beware! We’re coming for you!

Thank you again Navi!

They Mock Me

Just look at them. I don’t think it’s just me, don’t you think they’re smirking too. I knew it. I have no quarrel with some of them. Three of them would require interaction with strangers so they have a pass. Some of them aren’t around this time of year so we’re cool. But some of them I do have issue with and I’m looking at you Miniferal, Jade Oozeling, and Giraffe Calf.

I’m beginning to think their existence is some big, elaborate, hoax being perpetrated ON ME. I mean I actually have seen a Baby Ape being captured by someone, but those three. Nothing. Lots of people hanging around but nothing. Maybe they spawn at 3:00am or something. Where’s insomnia when you need it.

I guess I’m just not being vigilant enough, maybe I should enlist more alts into service. Maybe I should be checking RIGHT NOW instead of complaining, but I ‘m waiting for a phone call. This client is very nice, but he’s an all business former FBI agent calling to discuss his law firm’s website. I just know he wouldn’t understand if I suddenly shrieked, MINIFERAL! MINIFERAL! I’LL BE RIGHT BACK! HOLD ON! And what’s worse I’m pretty sure that’s just what I’d do. So yeah, best I talk to you instead.

While I’m complaining I might as well bring this up too. I am trying to be helpful around Pandaria in between pet battles. I am trying to do my civic duty but WTF! In there somewhere are the Golden Lotus quest givers. It’s usually like a mini-game within the game. I spend more time trying to get the quests than completing them. They’re there too long to be just picking up the quests, I don’t know what they’re doing. They’ve got something against the Golden Lotus? Don’t want them to get any help? And look at the guy in the foreground, he’s looks pretty pissed about it too. I need to remember to check the bank for any leftover Baby Spice I might have.

Okay, I’m tired of waiting for that call, I’ll just login and check for Miniferal quickly. If he calls I can just drop the phone or something if I see a Miniferal … yeah … that should work.

I’m excited about Blog Azeroth Thanksgiving Event 2012 because last year I got to know so many great bloggers through it. I don’t know what to do though. I don’t rhyme, cartoon, tell good stories so I’m going to have to give this some thought. And I’m already falling way behind on my pet names, at this point I may have to resort to Curly, Moe, and Larry. I’d better get busy, maybe I should go out and buy a baby name book for my pets, although I don’t think I’d find many names appropriately fearsome enough. I’ll have to google fearsome baby names …

It’s over 400 or I Don’t Know How to Quit You

Yes, it’s really bad. How bad you say? Well I just made a battle pet category, I usually just lump everything under General WoW but pet battles now get their OWN CATEGORY, so yeah it’s bad. I had thought that getting That’s a Lot of Pet Food completed would put this obsession to rest BUT NO, I think it’s even worse now.

And getting to 400 wasn’t without incident. I’m not a good camper, my idea of camping is to go to the area where the rare beastie is reportedly hanging out and if it’s not there I’m not staying, so Miniferal you can just go to hell as far as I’m concerned. I did fly around Southern Barrens for a while looking for baby giraffes but no luck. The problem was once I neared 400 I started getting … I don’t know … CRAZY. That’s the only explanation that makes sense. I wanted my 400 NOW! I didn’t want to wait for there to be sandstorms occurring  simultaneously with thunderstorms at a full moon to capture my beasts anymore, enough. So yeah … I broke under the stress and spent 40,000 gold. Unfortunately the ones I didn’t have were very costly. What? Okay … alright … I bought some from Blizzard too. At least I managed to stay away from eBay, that’s something, right?

So there. 400. Mission completed. Back to normal. NO. NO. NO. Not even close. I now have the compulsion to level all the things to 25 and attempt to upgrade any pet that’s not rare on the way. I do this to the exclusion of all else. Oh wait, not completely true. There was that little Dark Soil problem. I must have all the BFFs, must. So that resulted in me standing out in a field by Halfhill battling and then in the intervening 8 minutes flying all over looking for dirt. That was fine but now I’m having bad withdrawal because they are all my best friends now and I can’t pick up dirt. This morning I stood on a cliff telling general, DARK SOIL! There’s dark soil here, someone please pick it up!

Yeah, I’m not really myself right now. I don’t read, I don’t write. I BATTLE. I really have to thank Blizzard today. In the US it’s election day and I really need to vote and thankfully they are taking down the servers. Not like I wouldn’t vote because of pet battle, no, it just makes it less painful to know the servers are resting while I’m away. And it’s very important to vote, because I think that’s how we’ll get rid of all those political ads on TV and no matter who you support we can all agree that those suckers need to GO!

Anyway, I don’t know when pet battle fever will subside. I fear it may be a long time. All those baby level ones need to grow up, they may be just what I need for my team. Never know until you try, got to test out all the combinations there are. So much to do. Yes, yes, I’m stopping to eat. I have all the leftover Halloween candy right here. See? I’m doing fine, no worries. Not REALLY an obsession, is it? Is it?

Pet Battle Fever Diminished?

I feel compelled to post today as there is the possibility I might be off-air soon. All week the drama queen weather people have been ranting about the coming Frankenstorm and they do this all the time so I don’t pay attention to them.

This morning I checked the National Weather Service who I’m more likely to believe. Oops, you too huh. Well, it’s too late to go racing off for supplies, we have sufficient dog food and I know they would share. The last storm that knocked out power for a day and a half was almost my undoing, I was jonesing for internet after five minutes, that and the whole waiting for a huge tree on the roof thing. That one scares me as I think we’re really tempting fate by having a brand new roof. It already attracted one large tree limb.

In our neighborhood we’re THOSE PEOPLE, yeah, every neighborhood has to have them. In the aftermath of the storm, if the power’s out the neighborhood will sing with the hums of five thousand dollar generators except at our house. We did look at them but the ones that seemed affordable would only power a coffee-maker so that seemed like overkill for just coffee. So if I stop talking it’s because the power went out and I’m driving around looking for a Starbucks to get wifi on my iPad.

Anyway, I meant to wait to do the Pandarian Trainers until I leveled a magic pet but I just could not wait. Hyuna of the Shrines I think was the longest fight. My crab and her turtle battled it for about a half an hour, lol. But my crab Rangoon prevailed, he’s a very patient crab. I’ve done PvP battles where when I brought out my crab the other person forfeited. Apparently they don’t like long, drawn out battles with a crab that won’t die.

None of the fights stood out as really hard, I would have to try a different mix of pets sometimes until I got just the right one, but the crab is my one constant.

So Cat has a new title and she wanted a screen shot of her prize winning crab. And she finally got some bandages from Aki the Chosen. So I thought maybe she’d get back to helping out the Golden Lotus guys now. Nope, not a chance. She’s flying around trying to get her four hundred pets right now. And the language, oh my. Damn you Miniferal, Damn you! Now I know how Navi felt. And that’s just one of the pets that keep alluding her, there are many more.

Pet Battle Fever continues undiminished. She was crushed when she found out the Qiraji Guardling was only available in summer months but of course she had to go look just to make sure. So I’m off to accompany her in the few remaining hours of power. NOVEC? Could we be best friends? Could you try really hard to keep the power on for Cat, I’ll send cookies … enchants … glyphs … ANYTHING … my Sinister Squashling will be yours, just name your price. Not to even mention if this storm messes up Halloween I’ll be stuck in this house with a metric ton of candy. NOT GOOD … so pretty please.

Oh and while I’m ranting, Hurricane Sandy? Really? Who names these things anyway. If these things come in leaving destruction in their path I really would rather say I was hit by Acidmaw or Brutallus, now these are substantial scary names with weight. Sandy? If it had been Hurricane Brutallus I might have paid attention and gone out and stocked up on toilet paper, just saying.
