Finally got Jaejae the Paladin to 60 yesterday. I can fly! I can fly! I can fly! Tyrael’s Charger is an awesome-looking mount…even if everybody and their brother has one. ---

Thanks, **info**. I bookmarked that. **jay** , I don’t know about a noise, but while we’re on the subject, the message of the day is do y’all think we could begin recruiting? 😉 Thanks Q ---

I just had something of an epiphany, though I’m sure somebody else has already thought of it, if it wasn’t exactly what Blizzard was thinking when they came up with it: My Creepy Crate pet from Hallow’s End uses what looks like Death Grip to snag nearby critters. \ “It’s my DK in a box…” \ ---

I thought I had reached the pinnacle, the toppermost of the poppermost and the zenith of my cooking skill, but it appears I have one more stage to go. So in addition to my dailies and other quests I’ll be doing some cooking tonight. Also, what benefit does one derive from drinking an alcoholic beverage? I got one in a drop which increased my vitality (? not sure that was what it was called) but made me drunk at the same time? Thanks Q ---

Drinking some alcoholic beverages also grants you a tick on the “It’s Always Happy Hour Somewhere!” achievement. Not all of them, though…Overachiever should tell you if the beverage counts in the tooltip. I have no idea what those numbers in your earlier post are about, **Quasi**. Sorry. ---

It may have been a mistell, and they were answering someone else and got you instead. Was it someone you’d been /whispering with before? He may have just went too far in his list of respond people and got you by accident. The number maybe COULD be a damage amount…like he was doing 54,543 damage/sec in his last instance and he meant to tell someone else that. ---

Really? How cool is that! I never knew that happened. Do you have a cite for it? I’ve been playing WoW since 2006 and literally _never_ heard that, but it would be way cool if it did work that way! I rarely drink alcoholic beverages in the game because I don’t like how it makes my screen go all weird to simulate drunkenness. It gives me a headache pretty fast. Needless to say I don’t like Brewfest much. 😛 ---
