A trifle late for oven-fresh and steaming Thanksgiving, but you can always come back to look at this over your next three weeks of cold turkey sandwiches.

I managed to scare up some free time on the eve of our Thanksgiving Trip, so I logged on to play a little. All of a sudden my guild informed me that someone was kiting Teremus the Devourer towards Stormwind. We all ran over to watch and follow. It turned out that the person had nicer intentions than letting the dragon loose on the population -- it was intended to be the Thanksgiving Turkey!

Which made me curious…I never see videos or screencaps of anyone kiting monsters to Horde cities. Nor have I ever heard of it happening on my server, Dunemaul. Which makes me sad; the most monstrous thing I ever saw in Orgrimmar was a Tauren under the influence of several potions of giant growth. He got stuck inside the tavern until he deflated.
