Happy Gote Jump Day!

It’s the new year, and that means one thing in particular: time for the official annual Muffin Hunters Parachute Gote Brigade ritual of jumping off of really tall places! Life was being weird this year, so I didn’t get to participate as much as I’d have liked. But still, we had some fun jumps and got a few keen shots.

– Germaine and Hamirack jumping to Menethil Harbor –
Liftoff!
Entering Town
Success!

– Random crap –
Did you know they let gnomes in the Stormpike Guard?

That’s all I have. If Hami gets his ready I’ll probably link those here, too. And I’ll probably dig up last year’s to show, since I didn’t have the blog then.

Edit: Last year’s pictures!
The grand idea
The Airport
Nice gates. I’d jump it.
Attention duelists! Watch for falling paladins!
The Tunnel of Doom!
Beyond the Doom Tunnel
Guys, we could, like, totally jump to town.
Look! Up in the sky! It’s a gote! A plane! No, it’s Hamirack!
Nice dam. I’d jump it.
Pretty dam tall.
Nice tree. I’d… never mind.
Landing too far north.
Incoming to Auberdine.
Success! Jump from Teldrassil to Auberdine accomplished!

Second edit: The Hamirack pictures!
They’re all here and stuff.

So imagine you’re a sous-chef…

… and your chef gets a heart infection and goes to the hospital for a long time. Suddenly you’re in charge of menu creation for the restaurant. What do you do?

Shrimp & Crab Dip
Pork Loin
Portobello Manicotti

If you’re anything like me, you do that. Tomorrow after I’ve recovered I’ll tell you what it all is and how I did it.
