Well I'm normally not one to crow about my mounts. Not because I'm chicken, but I hate sounding too cocky.

But today I couldn't help preening...

Image

Out of 22,000+ entries. I randomly won a mount in Wowhead's recent TCG contest! I can't believe my luck. I'm still in shock.

Actually, out of 22k+ entries at least one other Petopian won a first prize. Pretty amazing odds, really. But I'll leave it up to him whether he wants to reveal his win or not. It was actually really handy as I won the fel drake and he won the rooster but we were both wanting to swap :)

Another friend and I have been exploring the question, "What's the limit on how many terrible innuendos you can make involving this mount before it stops being amusing?". Turns out, there isn't one!

:lol:

Is that a chicken between your legs, or are you just to see me?

Gratz Wain! So very very lucky, but with all the work you do for so many fan sites all over, well deserved too!

Wait... I thought the winners were picked randomly, not based on their entries. D: If that wasn't the case after all, I totally blew my chances because I didn't feel like writing a ton at the time. :(

They were random. My entry was just one sentence.

Congrats to you Melissa! I'm only on my first shard. Even so, I died when it dropped... nine to go... xD

Well done! I didn't manage to get a shard all the time I was doing dailies there. On the beta I had like 5 :P

Eeeeeee!! I knew I was meant to do one more try on Malygos before the raids would reset! Decided to see if I could solo it on my fresh-to-90 Priest.

It looks like someone's cast a spell on my luck. :o First the Onyxian drake, next the Azure Drake, now this! *shocked*

Off to see if Kael decides to be nice too.

I always thought it could fly, apparently not. :(

Same! I was shocked when I found out it couldn't. I think it's cause the Headless Horseman's mount can fly and the two look so similar.
