Metamidion - Gat/Flak Pyramidion

Not really the case anymore. Gatflak Pyra is falling out of the meta.

I would like to add "Leeroy," "Leeroy Jenkins,"  and "Captain Jenkins" to the community lexicon:
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/leeroy-jenkins
as a term for captains that charge headlong into battle much to the detriment of their teammates. Examples of use:
"Get back in formation Leeroy"
"Our ally just pulled a Leeroy Jenkins, we will not be moving up to assist."
"Let Captain Jenkins distract them while I line up the trifecta."

All right, time to guess when that picture was taken. Hmm... Judging by Mark Abrams being in it and the typo still being there, I'd say... Late 2012?

It is just like driving. I am driving at the perfect speed. Anyone driving faster is an irresponsible maniac, and anyone driving slower is a selfish lane hog. Any one who is better than me is a Tryhard because they put way more hours into this game than any sane person would, and anyone who hasn't put as many hours into this game as I is a Scrub because they haven't payed their dues like I have.

Coconutting
(I think Squash also has salad/potatoes)

Having spend a goodly amount of time around Ducks I know what every thing is except "Biscuits" and "Peaching" are. I also heard there is such a thing as"Lliming". Also you ducks are dangerously obsessed with food, DANGEROUSLY OBSESSED. I have started using "Raspberries" in PUG's as it is more convenient and causes less confusion than what most people call it.
