Last night that question was put to the test to disastrous results, as the sight of a second boomkin caused the other to commit suicide via Grobbulus.  Now, one might try to place blame on a desire to re-inact Leeroy Jenkins going poorly, or a run-away-auto-run-button, but I’d like to think that this lemming-like behavior was brought on by a genetic defect in Tauren physiology, after having changed shapes so many times.

No, two boomkins don’t make a raid.  In fact, we had two warlocks too.  And two hunters.  Three priests, several paladin’s, a couple shaman, a rogue or two, a death knight, and some pretty intimidating tanks.  It takes 25 heroes to make a raid, and it takes 25 people to make them.  After a week and a half break from raiding we were back into it last night.  We hit a wall right in the beginning with Sartharion and his drakes, but we didn’t let that keep us down and we moved into Naxxramus.  Ruscared kept us going with the best movies ever and we did something that we haven’t done in a long time when raiding.  We laughed.

There were a lot of old faces and some new in our digital dungeon last night and some good gear was dropped, I for one got a pair of pants that I didn’t even know I wanted, until I got it.  It’s like in real life, when I bought my favorite pair of chones.  I saw them in the store and they were electric blue, caught my eye from across the room.  As I approached them, shaking with giddy joy for the Tron-like underwear, I noticed that the blue was actually a design on them, and as I got closer, it became clearer that the design was a paisley pattern.  This immediately discouraged me and I almost turned back towards the DVD’s, when I decided to take a closer look at the electric blue marvel, and I saw that it wasn’t a paisley pattern at all, it was a whole bunch of dragons.

DRAGONS!

I immediately bought the underwear, and own them still today.  In fact, I think I’m going to wear them tomorrow.   Yes, I’m going to wear them; it’s decided.

Far to often though, I find that I take this game a little too seriously, and have to give myself a mental check.  But last night…last night is why I play.  We talked, we joked, we laughed, we downed bosses, and we geared people who needed it.  So, thank you Noir, it was a blast, and I’m looking forward to kicking Malygos’s, Sartharion’s, and Thaddius’s butts tonight.
