Has anybody else encountered Crithto, a little pug dog that runs around Stormwind, apparently randomly, like his ass is on fire? I followed him around for a while, but he doesn’t seem to have any particular destination in mind, or any “home” location. ---

Hey, **Tao**? Don’t change a thing! That is one cool toon! Also maybe I’m the only one this happened to? And maybe it was “lying in wait” because of _another_ site I may have visited? Anyway, glad I got to spend some time looking at the “cool dude in a loose mood”!🙂 Thanks for sharing, **Tao**! Q ---

Forgot to mention… **Tanus** , my Belf, took his first zeppelin ride to Orgrimmar last night. Sorry, Horde, but lord what a _dump_!🙂 It even has its own Goblin slum, and as I am now Horde myself, I’m having him explore the place. So far 2 banks, 2 inns, 1 AH (that I have found) and OMG at the NPC’s. Maybe it’s my imagination, but there seem to be more of them than in SW. Can this be? But still, it was nice to ride that shark-looking zep that I have seen flying overhead in Alliance territory. Honestly though? Having been used to Alliance for almost three years, I feel a bit guilty with **Tanus** being Horde.😉 Thanks Q PS: Oh yeah. I changed **Tanus’** hairstyle to the one that makes the ladies all warm and fuzzy! ---

What does “It’s buddy” mean? 61 year old geezers need to know, **Palooka**! 🙂 Thanks Q ---

> [@Quasimodem](#): > > Sorry, Horde, but lord what a _dump_!🙂 It even has its own Goblin slum, and as I am now Horde myself, I’m having him explore the place. So far 2 banks, 2 inns, 1 AH (that I have found) and OMG at the NPC’s. Maybe it’s my imagination, but there seem to be more of them than in SW. Can this be? I think there are actually at least 4 banks and auction houses: the obvious ones in the Valley of Strength (the area near the front gate), one of each in the Valley of Honor (toward the back of Org), one of each in the Goblin Slums and one of each in the Valley of Wisdom (the tauren area). The ones in Goblin Slums and Valley of Wisdom aren’t very obvious, though - the “bank” in each area is just one NPC standing there, and same with the auction “house”. They’re more of a “banker” and an “auctioneer” just standing around hoping somebody will talk to them. As to “more NPCs than SW”, I think it just looks that way because in Org most of them are standing around outside, while in SW more of them are inside buildings. ---

**Rik** , Thanks, but wow! (Just wow the exclamation, as if you didn’t already know that, coming from _me_!) It’s a tough place to navigate if you’re just used to SW and the surrounding area, which is why I’m going to leave him there and quest in those places. BTW: I love how the Ogres call us “Humies”! Don’t know who in Blizz came up with that term, but they deserve a bonie! Whoops! I _meant_ **BONUS**! LOL! 🙂 Q ---

Imageshack spawns popups something awful unless you’re on IE8+/FF/Chrome. They’re just not malicious. ---

My continuing quest for Mysterious Camel Figurines has been fruitless. However, I am making a small fortune off of the Mining I do while I endlessly fly over Uldum, so it’s not all that bad. Wishing there were more drakes available to we mere mortals who do not raid. There’s the three you can get via Wrath dungeons (Stratholme, Oculus gift bag, Skadi), the one from the ‘I did all the holiday quests!’ meta achievement and the one in the Oracle egg. Edit: Oh, and the ones you can buy in Shattrath if you rep grind with blah blah blah I forget. ---
