Can We Have Elf-Wank without LotR? Answer: Apparently.
In
girl_gamers,
project_jeni shares with the group her St. Patrick's Day/WoW tee-shirts, featuring the game's newest race, the Blood Elves, and the logo
Kiss Me, I'm Elvish! Hey, I'm the biggest
folkloristic morphology geek ever (as evidenced by the fact that I even know what the hell "folkloristic morphology"
is), and while the shirts are not exactly folklore-friendly, I still want one.
Two comments in,
omnissiah appears, wondering what the hell this has to do with St. Patrick's Day. People gently try to explain the pun, but
omnissiah stubbornly refuses to yield:
I've never known of Elves being considered of Irish descent in any of the games I've played. Mainly because elves are of German descent and most games follow the Tolkien style of mythology, which still doesn't render them as Irish.
People try to move on, but
omnissiah continues to pop up with his/her authoritive knowledge of all things Irish/Elvish.
Slowing down now, but the wank is rich.
