Terrible at talking
Matthew here, taking over the blogwaves once again, contrary to the title I speak rather well in front of real human beings; however it is on the glowing screen of WOW that I seem to have difficulty. I mean I try to follow conversations, but most of the time I just sit there and wonder if I have inadvertantly stumbled upon a group of Japanese players on the server (No offense to Japanese gamers, I actually respect your skill and devotion immensely, if you want to see what I mean just type in Japanese Mario Brothers speed on youtube). So in short, if anyone has any helpful tips or tricks, please feel free to comment and help me out, I am sure the rest of the WOW community would greatly appreciate it. On a more serious note, I am here to make a resolution for the new semester. To clean up my language. I realize that growing up in an athletic male oriented environment for the majority of my years led me to be more predisposed to such vulgarity; however that is no exscuse, so I will try my very hardest to replace such words with happy more child friendly phrases such as, fiddle de de, fangdangaroo, and any other sayings that are only intelligable to Dr. Suess and three year olds. So wish me luck and TTYL (I think that means talk to you later!????* HELP)

Well Matthew I can't help you AT ALL with the WOW thing, but after reading Kelly and Casey's comments I can see how you are lost. Amazing!
I can, however, help you with a new phrase to replace any, shall we say, inappropriate phrase you may be currently using. One of my favorite ladies, Liz Hurt, always says "John Brown It!" When she is frustrated. When applied with the appropriate emphasis it is quite effective!
P.S. I have to say that Kelly's suggestion of "Shoot a Monkey" seems a bit violent and when uttered in front of a preschooler might not have the desired effect. I would steer clear of that phrase. Sorry, Kelly.
Hahaha...I had never thought about how "Shoot a monkey" would sound in front of a young child. However, in my defense, that's what Donna says in front of Rohan. ;)
