Breakfast Topic: Funny Stuff
At some point in your WoW adventures, someone is sure to have sent you some of the funny items that are littered all over the game, such as the "Exotic Cookbook" (entitled "How to serve man"), and the "Broken I W.I.N. Button." Not too long ago, a friend of mine sent me one I hadn't seen before, the "Steamy Romance Novel," which really made me chuckle:As Nahni glided up, the grizzled warrior gave her a hard stare. "I suppose you're here to collect the reward for killing those murlocs?"Her eyes wandered down to the glowing broadsword at his side. "That depends on what the reward is, Marcus." She twirled her hair playfully, pretending not to notice how he shifted uncomfortably in her presence. "I may not want it."Marcus stepped toward her, bristling with a mixture of fear and anger. "The reward is not negotiable!" He paused for a moment while gathering his nerve, and pressed himself against her diminutive form. Their lips met hotly, melting her frost armor spell in a torrent of sweltering vapor."So, is there another step to this quest?" she teased, her eyes glittering with excitement.<This goes on for several hundred more pages, without advancing the plot.>Are there any items in this game that make you smile whenever you think of them? If you can't think of items, perhaps you know of a place or NPC? Tell us about anything you think is funny.Update: I just can't resist quoting in full some of the things that commenters have found. It's quite silly, and it really should be part of this post anyways. Click on the link to read them.
Around Azeroth: Sunrise over Blackrock Mountain
Reader Valenvaryon of Guns For Hire on Gorgonnash sends in this shot of Blackrock Mountain in the distance. While travelling the pass into Searing Gorge from the Badlands in the morning, you, too, could catch this same vista, which is what passes for a sunrise in these parts.Do you have a unique shot of Azeroth or Outland that you'd like to show off to the rest of the world?

Around Azeroth: Into Blackrock Mountain
Reader Kyle sends in this excellent shot of the doors leading into Blackrock Mountain. Impressive, no? If nothing else, Dwarven architecture never fails to impress. Through these doors you will find an equally monumental corridor, which will lead you towards the dungeons Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire (both upper and lower), Molten Core, and Blackwing Lair. Indeed, before the expansion, these doors led you towards the game's biggest hub of action. Now, like many old dungeons, they're a just novelty.Do you have a unique shot of Azeroth or Outland that you'd like to show off to the rest of the world?

Around Azeroth: 300 HKs later...
Reader Alex sends in this excellent shot that, I think, speaks entirely for itself. If you don't recognize the setting, this is one of the ramps leading into Blackrock Mountain, inside of which you find the dungeons Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Molten Core, and Blackwing Lair -- meaning the area is heavily trafficked by members of both factions. Which means that you probably see a lot of scenes like this one on PvP servers...!Do you have a unique shot of Azeroth that you'd like to show off to the rest of the world? Tell us about it by e-mailing aroundazeroth@gmail.com! You can attach a picture file or send us a link to one -- and don't worry about formatting, we'll take care of that part. If yours isn't posted immediately, don't fret! Shots are posted (more or less) in the order received, and yours will come up eventually.
