[Abercrombie's Crate]

Description

A few weeks ago I was picking herbs far from my house, and a band of ogres attacked me! I ran, and I was forced to leave behind a crate of precious tools and herbs.

Please, <name>, retrieve this crate for me for I miss it sorely.

+== Description ==
-===Blood Elf Female===
+A few weeks ago I was picking herbs far from my house, and a band of [[ogre]]s attacked me! I ran, and I was forced to leave behind a crate of precious tools and herbs.
-*An option in the "<tt>/flirt</tt>" [[slash command]] produces "Is that a Mana Wyrm in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?".  Originally spoken by Mae West to a police officer (saying "gun" instead of "Mana Wyrm"), it has been widely used and become something of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowclone snowclone].
+After they chased me off, the ogres swaggered back to the ogre mound in southern [[Duskwood]]. I'm sure my crate is somewhere near the mound.
-* "Mirrors can't talk. Luckily for you, they can't laugh either.", is a reference to the fairy tale "Snow White", where the evil witch talks to her mirror.
+Please, <name>, retrieve this crate for me for I miss it sorely.
-===Blood Elf Male===
-*A possible "<tt>/flirt</tt>" [[slash command]] response is "I know every rose has its thorn, but if you would just pour some sugar on me, we could rock and roll and party every day."  These reference the heavy metal songs "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison, "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard, and "Rock and Roll all Nite" by Kiss
+== Rewards ==
-*A possible "<tt>/silly</tt>" [[slash command]] response is "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" It could be said that this was taken from the 2005 song "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls. It could also be said that it was taken from the 1988 song "Swass" by Sir Mix-A-Lot, who co-wrote the "Don't Cha" song mentioned above.
+You will receive: {{cost||14}}
-=== Gnome Female ===
+== Progress ==
+Do you have my crate?  If so, then please...give it to me quickly!
-*One of the gnome female's "<tt>/silly</tt>" [[slash command]]s results in the her saying: "Some day, I hope to find the nuggets on a chicken." This is most likely a reference to the well-known McDonald's Chicken McNugget food item. This also may be a reference to the Carl's Jr. franchises popular commercials asking where one would find the nuggets on a chicken.
-=== Gnome Male ===
+== Completion ==
+The crate is close to the cave opening.
-*A "<tt>/flirt</tt>" [[slash command]] if you are playing as a male gnome sometimes makes your character say "I like large posteriors and I cannot prevaricate." This verbosely paraphrases the opening line of one hit wonder Sir Mix-a-lot's single hit, ''Baby Got Back'': "I like big butts and I cannot lie."  This was also said by Brent Sienna from PVP Online to his girlfriend Jade Fontane when asked to stop telling people "he liked her junk in the trunk".
+Thank the Nec-...well, thank YOU, <name>!  You have more than earned your reward.
-===Human Female===
-* One of the human female's "<tt>/silly</tt>" [[slash command]]s results in the following statement: "I can't wait until this quest is done and I can look for another Garibaldi artifact." is a reference to Alias, with Sydney Bristow always looking for Rambaldi artifacts.  Also, Garibaldi was the name of Babylon 5’s chief of security, who was named for [[Wikipedia:Giuseppe Garibaldi|Giuseppe Garibaldi]], an Italian nationalist partisan who fought to unite Italy back in the 19th century.
+Aha!  Happy!  Happy nights ahead!!
-=== Human Male ===
-*One of the human male's "<tt>/silly</tt>" [[slash command]]s results in the following statement: "So, I have this idea for a great movie. It's about two gnomes who find a bracelet of power, and they have to take it to the Burning Steppes and cast it into the Cauldron. They form the Brotherhood of the Bracelet. Along the way they're trailed by a murloc named Gottum, who's obsessed with the bracelet, and nine bracelet boogeymen. It could be a three parter, called 'Ruler of the Bracelet'. The first part would be called 'The Brotherhood of the Bracelet', followed by 'A Couple of Towers', with a climactic ending called 'Hey, the King's Back!'" This is a reference to the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. [[wikipedia:Tolkien|Tolkien]].
-===Orc Female===
+== Gains ==
+Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
-*One of the "<tt>/flirt</tt> [[slash command]] options is "You had me at "Zugzug"".  This is a reference to two films: ''Jerry Maguire'', in which the title character's estranged girlfriend responds to his appearance and pleas for forgiveness with "You had me at "Hello"", and "Zugzug", which is [[orcish]] for 'Hello' or 'Okay'.  Another possible explanation is the delightfully loopy ''Caveman'', starring Ringo Starr, Dennis Quaid, and Shelley Long, which features a "language" including the phrase "zug-zug" to refer to sexual intercourse.
+*1750 [[XP]]

-===Orc Male===
+{{Abercrombie Duskwood}}
-*Male orc "<tt>/silly</tt>" [[slash command]]: "It's not easy being green." This is the title of a song performed by Kermit the Frog.
+== External links ==
-===Tauren Female===
+<!-- Read http://www.wowpedia.org/Wowpedia:External_links before posting your links here.
-*"<tt>/silly</tt>" [[slash command]]: "In my native tongue, my name is Dances with Tassels." A reference to the Kevin Costner movie Dances with Wolves.
+Links that do not conform to the rules will be DELETED.
-*"Happy Taurens come from Mulgore." The Milk Advisory Board's commercials included the slogan [http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2002-12-11-happy-cows_x.htm "happy cows come from California."]
+Repeat violations may result in a BAN.
+Have a nice day. :) -->
-===Tauren Male===
+{{Elinks-quest|26680}}
-* "<tt>/flirt</tt>" [[slash command]]: "Are you comfortable with complicated machinery?" May be a reference to the machinery Daedalus constructed to help Pasiphaë, as described in [[Wikipedia:Minotaur]]
-===Troll Male===
-*As is pointed out on the [[Joke]] page, male troll's "<tt>/silly</tt>" [[slash command]] about killing two dwarves in the morning, and then killing two dwarves at night.  This a reference to the sublime song "Smoke two Joints" and follows the same scheme only replaces smoking joints with killing dwarves.   ['''This has been removed by a recent patch for unknown reasons, although it is most likely due to copyright reasons, or because of the reference to drug-use.''']
-===Draenei Female===
-*"Are you thinking what i am thinking?  Good.  Bring ample supply of Butter, and Goblin Jumper Cables" Seems to be a reference to the show Kenan and Kel.  At the end of every episode, Kenan would tell Kell to bring a number of objects somewhere for one of Kenan's schemes, using the line "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" This may also be in reference to a recurring line from "Pinky and the Brain." "Pinky, are your pondering what I'm pondering?" "I think so brain but how are going to get the rubber lederhosen on the mice?"
-=== Draenei Male ===
-* ""We have it all figured out. Step One: We land the Exodar. Step Three: We defeat Legion and go home. But there is only one detail missing." is a reference to South Park, the episode where Tweak's underpants are stolen by the Underpants Gnomes.  Their reasoning behind stealing them is illustrated on a diagram which reads "Step 1:  Steal Underpants,  Step 2: ???,  Step 3:  Profit."
