ZOMG! A Wild Argath Appears! (Summer is over now in case you missed the memo. Come back, we miss you!)

I never get all my memos! Real Life should hopefully stop kicking my ass enough for me to play again after the 20th of this month.

In my time away from WoW I've found I don't miss the game at all, but I miss you guys a ton, so until a better game comes along that we can play I shall return for sure.

But to keep on topic for this thread I shall share a funny story.

While I've not been able to devote the time to raid in wow I have been able to return to less time consuming hobbies like riding horses. A couple weeks ago I started riding again on one of my family's horses, he hadn't been ridden in a few years and I haven't ridden regularly in a looong time so we're both newbs.

So last Friday I decided to go balls out and take my horse (a Clydesdale/Standardbred cross if there's any horse nerds here, for non-horse nerds he's a tank) out fox hunting (short explanation, foxes aren't killed, but wikipedia that shit if you don't know what it is I'm not explaining it) with my family.

Now it figures that the day I decide to take my newb ass out fox hunting on my newb horse the club has it's biggest turnout ever and there's a field of about 30 riders. This has me nervous because my horse has a rep of being skittish (his name is Merlin and is so named because he is fast for being as big as he is and is known for magically no longer being under his rider when he gets scared). Things were cool tho and Merlin was on good behavior so I'm feeling leet and all is well...

...until...

...the group I'm riding with is riding down this narrow deer trail. The path is only wide enough for 1 rider at a time and on the right is a think tangle of briars and on the left is a 100 foot drop off into a rocky creek bed. We were stopped along this path listening for where the pack of hounds was when 2 people riding whip (people assigned to manage the hounds) came up behind us. Now the rules are when the whips need to come through you need to gtfo, so everyone has to duck off to the side. I moved off to the right with everyone else, but I was in near a bad patch of thorns and my horse hopped in farther than I wanted cuz he got spooked and landed in a big tangle of thorns. Upon this happening old Merlin said 'FUCK YOU AND FUCK THIS SHIT! I'M OUT, PEACE!' Which, since horses can't talk unless they're Mr. Ed is expressed by rearing up and spinning in a very fast 360 degree circle.

So now at this point I'm like, fuck me gently with a chainsaw, this is going to suck balls. My horse is panicing, I can't get him under control, and I hear my Dad yelling 'Bail!'. I look to my right and see the path we were on and figure that is more desirable than the thorn bushes and the 100 foot drop off into the rocky creek bed so I take the opportunity to bail.

Now any of you who have seen horses throw riders at a rodeo might be thinking, well, that's not so bad. Thing is, those guys are landing on loosely packed dirt, which is cake. Landing on rocks and sticks after getting dumped off of 1800 pounds of angry horse hurts like a mother fucker. Fortunately, adrenaline is a helluva drug so I was able to roll and hop up cuz my brain is going OMG BIG HORSE GONNA STEP ON YOU RUN STUPID!!!!

Tho as soon as I was up I saw I was in no danger of getting trampled, the adrenaline cut off and my body said, fuck, we no worky, and I fell back down. This is the point where I really wish I was back in WoW, cuz I'm like, rez plz, and the rest of the group is like, lolololnoob.

When I was able to get back up and assess the damage I was left with a nice road rash on my right arm, a couple bruised ribs, my back was out, and my right hip was banged up. This meant I was too messed up to get back up on my horse and had to lead him back on foot, because, while you may have seen Aragorn's horse kneel down and pick his broke ass up in The Two Towers, horses in reality look down at you with an expression that says, "Hahaha! Fuck you newb, you're dumb ass is walking!"

The End.

My pain killers and bed await. See yall back in game soon!
