WOW / HB Shutdown AND You

[Jwangner]

With today's WOW maintenance comes that time on the HB forums where people loose their minds. For some its all about yelling at DEV's on this board screaming they pay for a product and once WOW becomes playable and HB does not function these people start loosing their minds. Its these people I can not help. For others its just plain old downtime, a time of boredom, checking the boards to see when WOW comes up and then when HB is patched over. For those that don't know, HB can be up a couple hours after a patch or it may be back up a few days after patch. There is no formula for this just be patient. Now for those that cool, calm and of course collected, or for those medication corrected like me, I offer my list of things to do while WOW and HB are down.

1. Make prank phone calls. It works all the time.
2. Pretend and walk around as though you are a ninja.
3. Stare at some random object for a minute. Roll yours eyes at least 5 times. Blink wildly for 20 seconds.And then shut them really tight. Repeat in the same order at least 10 times.
4. Go outside and follow the first person you come across.
5. Text message your friend backwards.
6. Keep staring at the back of someone's head till he/she turns around.
7. Talk to yourself in the mirror
8. Walk around in your room without your feet touching the floor.
9. Dance till you are out of breath.
10. Sing your favorite song as loudly as you can.
11. Speak in Ermahgerdish (i.e. My name is Aurelia---Mer nerm ers Aurerlier) Say it out loud--it's funny!
12. Surf old archives of HB
13. Make a fairy fort in your backyard. (I know some of you will say this is childish, but for those of you who believe, its actually a really fun thing to do!) Basically what you do is try and make a mini shelter for fairies. You can use twigs, sticks, leaves, dirt, whatever. Remember to decorate it with flowers!
14. Stick googly eyes on inanimate objects.
15. Pretend you are Gollum from The Hobbit
16. Dye your hair with Kool aid, or if you prefer not to you can dye a Barbie's head! (But please, please don't try dying it with food colouring. It comes with disastrous results--trust me from experience)
17. Find old socks without partners and make a sock doll.
18. Make a Popsicle stick boat, and then float it in a puddle
19. Make a camp out in your backyard (bonus: if you have a trampoline, you can sleep on it!)
20. Make a toga out of a bed sheet and pretend you are an ancient Roman.
21. Wear your underwear over your pants, tie a table cloth as a cap and go around the neighborhood looking for villains.
22. Eat all your food without using your hands.
23. Do a Google search for “test subjects needed” or “volunteers needs” and volunteer for something.
24. Go skinny dipping.
25. Create a prom dress entirely out of disposable cutlery.
26. Insert encouraging messages into helium-filled balloons and release them. Be sure to include your email address so people can contact you if they find one!
27. Make an anonymous threatening letter by cutting out words from a newspaper. Send it to your enemy.
28. Call random people on the phone and try to sell them imaginary products
29. Cover yourself with fake blood and lie on the sidewalk outside your house. See if anyone cares.
30. Write a letter to your future you.


There is so much you can do while WOW and HB are down. Once they are both back up most of your time is absorbed by them so be thankful they are down. SO WITH THAT I AM OFF TO DO #24. Hopefully there will be no sketchy guys out watching me do it

This.

This I like.

 

[buddylovers]

Number 15 for me.

Can you not say "HB Shutdown" please, it reminds me of the doomsday for the last bot software I used so many years ago...

Why stop at 30?

31. Tell someone to close their eyes then take them to Holland and put a sign on their back that says "I hate Holland" in Hollish, and leave.
32. Tell someone you aren't going to kill them but really do
33. Write a note to your teacher in arabic so they have to translate every word, and make it something they don't even care about
34. Tell someone to turn around and look at something then quickly cut open their head and remove their brain, then seal it. they will be so suprised.
35. Walk up to a complete stranger and say 'hello again!' when they say hello, say 'why are you talking to me you freak?' and call the police.
36. Go up to your French teacher and tell her that French has ended. tell her to teach you English instead..and since you know it, it'll be easy.
37. Drive off a cliff. say 'steep hill' to your passengers.
38. Phone somebody and ask "How much?" until they go crazy or call the police.
39. When somebody phones you pretend you're an answering machine, when they leave their message say "Wrong!" and hang up.
40. Go to your local petting zoo. When they say it's time to go, cry. Lay down and refuse to leave.

People are welcome to pay me money for new amazing ideas while HB is down. This can be good money or bad money, I'm not prejudice.

"Hollish"... #facepalm

Obviously you aren't a super-worldly individual or you'd know that they speak Hollish in the state of Holland. No different than if you are in Spain, where they speak Spainish. Or in Japan, where they speak french.
