WoW is so addicting

I just got an email from one of my brothers and I just laughed. It seems that over Christmas the kids meaning me and my four brothers were talking about WoW and the youngest of my four older brothers said how he was not sure he wanted to get sucked into the addiction of the World of Warcraft game. But he had a 10 day free trial card (one comes in every box so you can addict your friends) and was thinking of trying it out. The email just informed me that not only is he playing so is his wife! Lol! Okay so that means Laugh out loud for anyone who doesn't know. Most of these terms come from chat things but are also used on WoW and other online games because its quicker to type. I have been trying to not use these terms on my blog because they really mean I am just being lazy and so if I do I will try to give the meaning as well. Anyways, I found this news to be hilarious and will probably have to make another alt on another server. (Alt here means alternative character). Sigh that will make it three alts maybe four on four different servers just so I can play with my brothers. Of course two of my other brothers play on another server and the only brother who is not addicted (to my knowledge) is the eldest of us. Sigh. We play too many computer games in my family. Of course this shouldn't surprise me. My brother Mountain R. as he will be known and Eek as the youngest as he will be known; both taught themselves machine language before all this microsoft programs and everything came out. In fact they knew more than the high school computer teacher did.

On a different note some friends were over today and Bear wanted to play with Mr. Giant. So he grabbed his two bionicles and gave one to Mr. Giant. They played for a bit before Bear went and grabbed the balls that shoot from one of the bionicles hands. As he was handing over the balls for Mr. Giants bionicle he said "Here's your blue balls!"

Once the room of adults got over their mirth we had to explain to the Bear and Smiles that blue balls had an adult joke behind it. Which we didn't actually explain though thinkng about it I probably should. Which means I'm dreading the next meeting with Bear's teacher as she explains that he has been getting the kids to crack up with blue balls jokes and not just burping. Knowing my son this is a distinct possibility. Sigh.

Ok! I am off to play more WoW.
