Somebody told me that that a friend of a gnome said that ...

[Aitana]

Aitana was sitting at the bar reminiscing about old times with a few friends. The evening wore on and eventually the old topic of the proper way to punt a gnome came up. Kromal held that the best way to do it was to hold them by the ears and kick them in the butt was best so as to damage the flesh the least so they would be suitable for Gromduck Soup for Thrall. Aitana prefered simply setting them on the ground and kicking them as they ran. She felt it was the most sporting way to do it. Kromal objected since it lead to unpredictable results.

It was an old battle between old friends. The others in the group added their own comments and opinions. Jemmali spoke up.

"Oh! I's jes remembahin'. A frien' tol' me abouta plan dat he heard abou' from a frien'. De gnomes gonna attack de taurens. Dey's gonna try ta kill all de taurens dey can an' kill Cairne."

All eyes turned toward Jemmali with stunned looks. Then almost as one, the entire group broke out laughing. Aitana wiped a tear from her eye as she caught her breath.

"Well, they are welcome to try. It will be most entertaining."

Saturday, May 3, 9 p.m. Anybody that is able and interested, be prepared to defend Mulgore, The Barrens, and Thousand Needles. Most of all, be prepared to defend Thunderbluff.))

Would that I could be there just to cheer on my good Tauren friends as hoof meets gnome. As fate would have it, it even falls on the day that I sprang into creation. My compatriots and I were going to share in some roast...uh, k...o...d...o. Yeah, roast kodo. Then, we're going to a see a comedy about an engineer that happens to be human. Creates himself a suit of armor, and then fights other humans. It's sure to be a laugh riot.

Thus, I report that I will only be thinking of a bored Cairn Bloodhoof, as he watches the gnomes suicide off the sides of Thunder Bluff rather than face his...wrath (or listless shooing away of annoying pests, which ever seems more likely). Be sure to wear something to keep your hooves clean.

((I really wish I could be there. I love a good gnome punting. Have a great time, kick some for me!))
