Some random old screenshots that I guess I intended to put into a post somehow but never did...

Sons of Perverts
Now I've mentioned before that I call the Sons of Hodir, the Sons of Perverts because of the dirty natured dailies those bastards give out. If you weren't convinced... here is a summary of some very funny conversations from the other day. (I was laughing too hard during the conversations and forgot to take screenshots).
Jess: I've never done Thrusting the Spear.
K: OMG!
Jess: Yeah, I'm a spear virgin.
K: Wow, well it gives you the most rep for the rep grind so you should do it.
Jess: Where and how do I get the quest?
K: Come to K hon, come to K. Up here.
Jess: Um, I can't get the quest, I don't see anything.
K: What? Well maybe you are missing some prequest. Hmmmm... if you can't thrust the spear, you may just have to make do with oiling the helm. Just oil the helm baby, looks like that's all you can do for now.
Couple seconds later
Jess: Oh, I see. I have to do Raising the Spear first in order to thrust it.
K: Ums yeah... if your spear wasn't raised, not much I could have done to help ya there. So is it creepy if I come watch you thrust your first spear?
Jess goes for first attempt
Jess: F!
K: You died?
Jess: Yeah, I didn't know what to expect. I thought I'd be on top.
K: Oh my.
Jess goes for second attempt
Jess: Hell yeah!
K: You did it?
Jess: Yep. /smokes cigarette

Three kinds of stinkers
First, a cute stinker. I got my 50th minipet, and thus my very own little stinker! He is super cute, though I am thinking I should carry around some tomato juice.
Second, a locked out stinker. When we did Naxx the other day, Jess rushed in before I really knew what was going on (remember the cardinal rule of healing... blame the tank). Thus, the tree was a little too slow and got locked out. Look how sad I look grasping the bars!
Finally, a big old asshat stinker. So everyone I'm sure has gotten used to coming across asshats, whether its someone who tries to ninja your ore or herb. On a side note, I have to laugh whenever non-druid folks try to ninja the herb I'm already picking in Sholazar then beat me to the next one. Buddy, you cannot beat a druid at herbing... especially this druid.
Ok back to my asshat story (maybe this will become a recurring post on my blog...). I was doing the Hot and Cold daily and had gotten my five Essences of Ice. Well I go to throw the first on a smoldering scrap, and I see this whirl of brown feathers, then it tells me that I can't use that item. Well I do it again, and same thing. Except this time I realize what happened. A tauren druid was hovering above, waiting for me to throw in the essence of ice, then swooping down to ninja the frozen iron scrap. Asshat!
Now in this kind of situation, most normal people probably spew some expletives to themselves and/or in guildchat, then go on their way. Most bloggers probably do the same and maybe mention it on their blog. But what does K do? Well K follows the said asshat tauren druid, swoops down, and takes a screenshot, emoting:
Hee hee. I never said this tree wasn't feisty. This is one situation where I have no qualms about posting toon names or guilds, as there was no way this was an accident or misunderstanding. So to you, Scarletoak of Bonzos Brass Buttoneers on Drenden, congrats on K's asshat of the week award!

Left Claw fashions
I've talked a lot about what our guild does... but really let's get down to what's most important, ok? How does our guild look?
Well first, here's my last couple of outfits and my fashion commentary:
Seriously, Fungi-Stained Coverings has me looking like a rogue. Here's a shot of me and Atania.
And here's me and Ata trying to confuse the warrior:
Now let's take a look at Jess:
Here are the pretty cloth wearing hot ladies of the guild. And yes, I am jealous. Have you seen above what I'm wearing now?!?
Here's our gnome Buns and our two draenei toons Ash and Heidi.
Finally, lets take a look at our boys, Bigal, Terrondris, and Wut. They clearly are shopping at the same store for their shoulder pieces. I wonder why Wut has such a scowl on his face. But if there was a theme across the three, it would have to be the hair. Let's just call them the Hirsute Trio, shall we?

Chef Keredria
With the latest patch, I am now a chef! As a new budding chef, I'll take some inspiration from Morimoto and DeLaurentiis. Speaking of Morimoto, K would like some more sushi in Northrend. But anyways, I can now cook Fish Feast.
Oh and my Oracles egg hatched successfully into Proto-Drake Whelp. I'm convinced carrying it around in my bags all week did the trick. ;)

Yes, yes we can
In honor of Obama's inauguration today (yay), I have prepared a speech:
* To those who think you can't successfully have a casual raiding guild, I say "Yes, yes we can".
* To Blizzard, who apparently thinks we cannot handle dual specs, I say "Yes, yes we can".
* To the Gods of WOW loot drop who think The Left Claw can't use anything other than mail drops, I say "Yes, yes we can".
* To those who think girls can't game, I say "Yes, yes we can".
* To those who think healers are all about flowers and rainbows and can't be bitchy, I say "Yes, yes we can".
How about you? What would you say "Yes, yes we can" to?

K's process flow
My world the last week has been dominated by mapping out hospital process flows. I've been living in Visio. Well as I was doing yet another process flow, I figured I'd share with you the thoughts that go through my mind when I enter an instance or raid.
It'll probably be too small to read on the page, so double click on the image to see it better. I should probably do a real one around healing decisions... but this one was much more fun to create. (I'm such a dork).

I've been classified
Many of you may have been wondering what type of tree I am. Well, if there has been any confusion, Jess has classified me as a North American Bitch Tree. Now what could I have been doing to merit this classification?
We did an impulsive Naxx mini run earlier this week, going to the Military Quarter. We were able to down the first two bosses in that wing, but were able to get in two shots at the Four Horsemen before calling it a night. I don't want to go into too much detail (which would make me even more of a bitch), but I will just say that we had a member who took raiding and explanation of these three fights way more seriously than we are used to. As I shared on guild chat, it was as if this guy was presenting his oral dissertation to get a PhD in Naxx raiding.
Here's my deal with raid boss explanations. There is such a thing as too much information. Twenty minute lectures do not stick in my head. Instead it sounds to me like the adults on the Peanuts, "Wa wa wa wa wa wa". It just made it seem too much like school or work to me, and almost took the fun out of raiding.
So I was saying a lot of stuff on guild chat. While I was definitely the first one on the bitch train, everyone else got on board by the third boss explanation. I was painfully annoyed at first, but it ended up being very comical by the time we got around to the Four Horsemen explanation. I had to mute my mic because I was laughing so hard that I was crying.
But it was a good lesson. Not only did I get from this night a classification and the hardest I've laughed in a while, but I got a deeper appreciation for how we run raids. Yes, strategies can be discussed and we all want to do well. But at the end of the day, we're here to have fun.
