Anyone who plays World of Warcraft (WoW) quickly gains an appreciation for the richness and imagination that has been poured into the creation of that online world. Not neglected among the creative detail work are the names of the many lands, towns, cities, and localities throughout the lands of WoW. Flying from imaginary Point A to fictitious Point B today, I passed through a wooded area of the countryside named "Nightsong" and I pondered the fact that this sounded like a fancifully-named work-a-day brand of women's per
fume to me. "Why not ask the fellas (and gals) in the Guild about this?" I thought and fired off a random question about how many locations in WoW sound like a fancy perfume. Smart-ass remarks quickly began pouring in. I chuckled heartily at many of the offerings -- “Timbermaw Hold”, “Deadmines”, “Moonglade” (not a bad one there). But I about fell off of my chair when the following contribution popped up in guild chat: “Whispering Eye Gulch”.
Oh to see Liz Taylor in a muu-muu and perched on a Rascal peddling “Whispering Eye Gulch” fragrance for women in soft, lustrous focus. Hell, I’d buy it!
But then again, there's always yours truly...
