Where did you hear about [HDL]? My friend IRL, Palyth, and his guild merged up with you guys.
Why do you want to join [HDL]? I am stalking Palyth.
If you are in a guild, why are you leaving? Since I spend all my time stalking Palyth I have not invested myself in a guild yet.
Will you dedicate 5 days a week to raiding? No, I need time outside of WoW to stalk Palyth IRL.
Will you dedicate 2 nights a week to raiding? I can dedicate a couple of nights to running stuff. I work overnights so I will need to be finished by 9:45pm EST. Other than that I can be around on Friday nights.
You are headed to run an instance with non-guildies when you spot a flagged gnome. What is the proper course of action: 1) Ignore the gnome and head to the instance, 2) Send a message to the guild of your find. flag immediately, and kill the gnome, leaving the PUG to wait, or 3) neither. If you selected 3, what course of action would you take? 1, you have already made a commitment to the PUG to make the run and bailing on that looks bad.

If you selected 3, what course of action would you take? 2, the guild should have your back when you engage in PvP.
A tea bag is 1) a small porous bag containing tea leaves or powdered tea, onto which boiling water is poured in order to make a drink of tea, or 2) a verb. 2, clearly.
Does .Net suck? It is good for noobs, then they learn PHP.
Whiskey or whisky? Whiskey, though who can actually read when the bottle is gone anyway?
Rank in importance to you: Raiding, Fun, PVP, Loot, Camaraderie, Wine, Women/Men, Music, Altaholism, Crafting. Women, cheesy poofs, fun, camaraderie, beer, rock band
Please provide a perl script that will sort a CSV file by first column, then second, and then insert into a mysql database.
From Perl Monks:
foreach my $this_record (sort byname @record_set) {
# do something
}
sub byname {
$a->{'NAME'} cmp $b->{'NAME'}
And from hotscripts:

Can you follow kill order? Kill order? I am a DK, we just drop everything all at once.
We do require Omen and Deadly Boss Mods. Do you have these installed? I have DBM installed and can grab Omen, when I remember to do so.
Are you aware the [HDL] is largely a collection of angry and cynical players and under-geared toons? Yes.
Really? Why do you still want to join [HDL] Well basically I have taken the time to play my DK a bit and I understand that you aren't exactly looking for melee DPS which works since I am not exactly looking to have people run me through stuff. I am ok only having a spot occasionally as long as you are ok with me only being around occasionally.
This is full of win.
Find an officer in game.
