Mr. Moore is a Wizard
Posted under: Exhibit A

Note, if you will, the fact that he fished up a turtle mount on his SEVENTH cast ever.
Clearly, he is a wizard. (Those of you who know nothing of World of Warcraft will have to take my word on this one.)
Exhibit B
This weekend, I devised a quick game of Hangman.

“B,” he suggested.
I wrote that down in the incorrect guess corral and added a head to his hangman.
“A,” he tried. Another incorrect guess. His hangman acquired a spine.
Things went on this way for a while. Correct guesses and incorrect guesses played out as hangman games do.

This is the point where he guessed the puzzle.
It was a movie quote from The Dark Knight. “Why so serious?” queried the Joker.
But Wait, There’s More!
The part where Mr. Moore is a wizard isn’t the fact that he barely guessed the puzzle in time to save his hangman (to be fair, he was on the phone AND the puzzle was upside down to him).
No, the part where it gets creepy is when we looked down at his incorrect guess corral and saw the following :

Mr. Moore is a wizard.
Hahah! I took my 2nd/3rd alt to Sholozar for the daily fishing quest yesterday (enroute to mine some saronite). On my very first cast, I pulled up a Sea Turtle! (Got the Ghostfish on my 3rd cast.)
As for the other…doo-dee-doo-doo…

HAHA, well, I have known for a while, Mr. Moore has the power of the universe at his fingertips. However, for safety’s sake, he only uses minuscule amounts at random intervals as not to unbalance the known world

@Steve
A pox on both your houses! My (now abandoned account) character still has no turtle. =[

@Arleen
*gigglesnort* That’s mighty kind of him.
You’d think he’d cheat more often to find good parking spots…. *winks*

Re: turtle mount
In most places, that turtle mount thing would be grounds for divorce… Or at least a good hangin’

@Marianne
Sadly, we are in the uncultured cowfields of Wisconsin. Neither divorce nor hangin’s happened.
Oh, the dirty looks, though. There were many, many dirty looks.
.-= Tami´s last blog ..Mr Moore is a Wizard =-.
@ Tami
Will said dirty looks be accompanied by STRONGLY WORDED hints that he now owes you fishing up a mount for him as well? Perhaps with the phrase “if you know what’s good for you” added for good measure?
(We had this conversation when we were playing WoW. I lusted for the Polar Bear the blue ladies offer as a super-rare drop from their quest reward bag. David got his in the first week of dailies.)
.-= Marianne´s last blog ..Don’t usually do this… =-.
@Marianne
*laughs* There MAY have been some hints to that effect, though we both knew they weren’t really serious.
That polar bear thing might well have been a dealbreaker though. BURN!
@Tami
Luckily (for him *wink*) I got a Polar Bear mount. He continued to help me farm blue ladies daily until it dropped.

@Marianne
Ha! Congrats!
Would Mr. Moore mind dropping by and fishing for me for a while? The best thing I’ve ever gotten is the gray bell (?) or cup (?) or whatever it is that vendors for 100g. Clearly, I am not meant to be a fisherdwarf. I mean, I hardly get my daily fishing quest done without fishing up enough tattered cloth and fishing line to clothe all my characters for a year.
Dang, now I need to draw all my characters in fishing rags. Dang.
Oh also? My paladin main is my mount collector. Zach gets on my druid one day to try to learn to heal and gets H UK as his random. The blue protodrake DEFINITELY dropped, and yes, he won it, on my druid, who didn’t even have epic flight at the time, and who also turns into a bird, so no, she’s never going to use it. /grumble
@Courtney
You think YOU’RE grumbling! What of the poor folks who would have ridden it that also rolled on it?!
You could probably skip drawing the undead – most of the undead clothes end up looking ratty and stitched together anyway. XP

@Mr. Moore
You said those were just for a Halloween costume! BETRAYAL!
oooo… The plot thickens!
/popcorn!

Did any of that happen on a Thursday?
…and then, this is the comic for today…

@Brad You, sir, are today’s…INTERNET WINNER! :D

@Steve,
Everyday, I’ll check my mailbox, waitin’ for my internet prize. ;)
Even more strange, when you first started talking about a hangman puzzle, I quickly decided to guess right along with you to see what I could come up with. My discarded letters were: I MS HETH LDGR.

@Kristen
*laughs* Nice one.
I’m not sure on the fishing one, but the other was on a Friday, I think.
@Brad-o
Ha! Awesome.
@Charlie
*raspberry*
May I borrow him for some raids, as then he may be able to get me some sweet epic gear?
I’m just askin’ … :)
@Wilder
He doesn’t even share with ME, why would I lend him to anyone else?!
For fun and profit?
