Signs you're getting old...

It's not even 10 AM and I've fallen for TWO April Fool's jokes already. Two! I usually get through the day without buying into even one. My mind's slipping...

The wow_ladies one got me because, well, it fit. That comm gets mocked for being too carebear, and so banning all hardmode-related posts fit.

The other was a personal LJ one (someone quitting WoW because they turned 30 and WoW is for kids). I have ZERO excuses for that one.

And yay, the LJ header of the month is nice. Though after last month's horrible one, anything would be better.

PS: I'm not usually one for cutting edge slang, but I really like this carebear one. It's meant to be insulting, but I usually take it to be a positive instead.

Well, at least 4.1.11 (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2325684862) looks like it will be good.

Ha! Someone linked me to that this morning. I choose you, Crabby!

That one's different from the Crabby or Dark Dungeon one though. =P

Due to continual misspellings of the “rogue” class, we have officially changed the name to the easier to type “rouge.”

Rouges are now required to pick up all of their blades after casting Fan of Knives before it can be used again.

Ever a player favorite, the level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon of Deadmines is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

The Worgen “sniff” sound has been replaced by Rebecca Black’s hit single, Friday. The song will play in its entirety. Every time.

The name of the draenei race has been adjusted to have 20% more vowels.

Draeneie - The male draeneie laugh has been tweaked to be 7% more irritating.

And here's one for you RP folks. =P

All spells and spell macros now have added RP-immersive elements built in that will transmit to all players automatically every time a spell is cast. These cannot be changed or disabled. Examples:

Flash Heal: “%n raises her hands skyward and calls forth a beam of bright white light that penetrates deeply into the souls of her comrades, healing their wounds and urging them forth in battle!”

Kick: “%n casually approaches you and dons a monocle before engaging you in a casual discussion concerning local politics and refined beverages. Eventually, the discussion grows heated, and he abruptly tosses his pipe at your feet.”

Ha! Those are great. Some of them remind me of this, about mages getting a slight buff (http://www.thedailyblink.com/2011/03/mages-get-a-slight-buff-in-4-1/).

One of the notes made me think of this one (http://www.thedailyblink.com/comics/2011-02-25-114.jpg).

Ha! I've shared that one when that subject comes up!
