How can I find the clip recorded from a Wow (or similar type) game, where about 5 people are discussing strategy, and the final member comes back from the kitchen (or wherever he supposedly was), and yells “GERONIMO” (but he really yells his name), and charges into the room, forcing the rest of his team to do so, also?

You can see why I need help from the teeming, as there aren’t many keywords to google this one.

Thanks in advance!

Oh that was wonderful.

From the geeky MMORPG mission planning goodness, to the knowing the survival chance, the terminlogy, to the Leeroy Goodness.

Yeah, I’ve had days like that.

You know that Leeroy was immortalized as a _Jeopardy!_ question, right?

I’ll say, it’s things like this that make me -not- want to get my character high enough level to raid with.

A few weeks ago, I heard a comedian on XM radio- I’m fairly certain it was Richard Pryor- talking about Private Leroy Jenkins, a chaplain’s assistant. This was decades ago.

Coincidence? Or is that where the name originally comes from?
