Bump.

I saw Gore yesterday! My crew didn't have the numbers to bring her down, but we sure tried. Again, it was uplifting to even see the beast. First time on the server. Gratz to the FoH/Venerate Bard who got the scale I saw drop.

My offer stands. If it's not enough, let me know what it would take.

Bard Bump!

Don't Ever Fry Bacon Naked

When I was a boy of maybe ten,
my father said, "Some day when
you've grown into a man like me,
don't strike a woman, don't pick a fight,
work hard by day, play hard by night,
and don't ever fry bacon naked."

Well, here I am less wise than he,
with a happy wife and no scrapes to see,
but one wicked third degree burn.
I work hard by day, play hard by night,
but my pecker is quite a sight.
Oh, don't ever fry bacon naked!

Now my old man, he drinks too much,
he's hard on cars and their clutch,
but he had this one thing right.
Smoke and gamble, wander, ramble,
fry your eggs or have 'em scrambled,
but don't ever fry bacon naked.

Love the new jam. Bump.

Bump.

Still looking. If I'm not offering enough, PM me what it would take.

Bump.

What does a roast say to elevate its post?

Rump.

I support this.

I am happy to say that I am now the proud owner of a Singing Short Sword, and this thread is closed.

Thanks to Stormwulfe (Sezaru) for selling me his scale, and thanks to all of you who encouraged him to do so.

Thanks to Kluwen, Liia, Innernette, Nybras, Kostbar, and Rilex for donating platinum to my cause. If you'll let me, I will repay the debts as soon as I am able.

Thanks to everyone in <Paradox> for believing in this even when I did not, especially Bunnii, Quenith, and Mandak. And thanks to all of our friends in Vita Infinita, Radiant, and the Hydra Alliance for helping me gun down Trakanon.

Thanks to the people who supported me and made this possible in less visible ways, including Zigili and Nellee who let me loot guts in Skyfire over six months ago and showed up for the Trak kill, Tractable for his Barding wisdom, and the countless people who sent me positive tells.

I'm not sure that I deserved this level of support, but I promise to honor it by being a model member of the server and paying it forward whenever I can. My worthiness aside, a number of people told me it was nice to see the server coming together to do something for someone else, and I am proud to say I instigated that. Pixel collecting is fun; I know this because I just got the pixels I've been desiring for 16 years. But being part of a community is what makes Everquest special. Thanks to everyone who reminded me and the whole server of that with this experience.

To close the loop as only a Bard (and his wife) can, here's part 2 of the song that started this wild adventure:

Singing Short Sword - Part 2

Why are you in such a good mood?
Let me tell you with a tune.

You want to know why I have a smile on my face:
Is it because my love sends you to outer space?
You want to know why I have a certain glow:
Is it because our special bond grows?
You want to know what I'm so happy for:
Is it me, your wife, that you adore?

No, it's 'cause I have a Singing Short Sword!
And I don't need nothing no more.
