That's ok, I actually said the exact opposite of what I wanted to say.
So, to correct my wordplay, I offer the following sentence:

"Our three horses are rounding the final turn...aaaaaaaand...it's Antepenultimate for the Win!"

Okay, I laughed out loud. Even though I know that the whole Victorian prudishness thing is a bit of a myth. Apparently Victorian porn was kinky as hell, and Queen Victoria herself enjoyed a good amount of "beast with two backs" herself. You know, what with popping out nine kids and such ;)

And to avoid comments about eye bleach, don't think of Victoria playing Hide the Scepter like this:

Baldrick: You could have someone else fight the duel for you.
George: But I'm the Prince Regent! My portrait hangs on every wall.
Baldrick: Well, my cousin, Bert Baldrick, Mr. Gainsborough's butler's dogsbody, says that all portraits look the same nowadays, since they're painted to a romantic ideal, rather than as a true depiction of the idiosyncratic facial qualities of the person in question.
Blackadder: Well, your cousin Bert obviously has a larger vocabulary than you, Baldrick.

A lot of people like to hate on Oatmeal (less so after his recent charity bit perhaps), but I will never be one of those people.

Though, on the server I played on, Rallos Zek (PVP with taking items and cash from the defeated), there were actually druids who still got JBoots because they broke root and snare.

They also helped if SoW was dropping during quad kiting. I won't lie, I had a pair I got from Najena before they stopped dropping there.

It took ball-balls to do it on RZ too. It was just asking for someone to come along and screw you up, kill you, and take your favorite piece of gear.

I'm sure, especially when a SK could just walk by and one-shot you with a DT (before it got fixed). Luckily as druids we didn't exactly have -good gear- to take that was worth a damn.... like what, a Paw of Op? A Kedge Totem? >_<

Actually, death touch was kind of a PVP joke... it almost always got resisted, even pre "fix." For the first couple years, pretty much all melee characters were just lambs to the slaughter by naked wizards and druids.

And on Rallos Zek, nobody got to wear anything nice, and all jewelry was magic resist jewelry. I once got jumped by 3 chicks who nuked me to death and took my +4 wisdom pants. I wanna say I think they came from Temple of Cazic Thule? But I'm not sure. But hell, if I ever dared put on my platinum ruby veil (+7 str/+7 wis) it was like chumming the water. Every so often you'd hear somebody (usually a wizard) yelling in trade chat they were selling a paladin quest breastplate and you know they didn't do the damn quest.

Then Kunark came out, and all the good gear was nodrop. THANK GOD, I can finally dress in something nice! Especially my monks who could go to Crypt of Dalnir for some gear that looked like actual monk gear instead of storebought leather.

It's a collection of tiles which are displayed as you click and drag. Some people on the forums are attempting to stitch together the entire image, but as a warning, it's ridiculously huge (16k px, I think).

Also, who is ProPuke?

EDIT: Also, why am I suddenly unable to post anything in Safari/WebKit or MSIE?
EDIT2: Yay, I can post again!
EDIT3: Still ninja'd by Stienman.
