If I were you, I'd throw in a link to the thread where this was first mentioned.
I find this hilarious, but many won't know the inside joke.
Where to now?
Check out all my guides and fiction pieces on my blog.
The MFing Warshade | The Last Rule of Tanking | The Got Dam Mastermind
Everything Dark Armor | The Softcap
don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
Oh jeez...that's been the biggest running gag since like CoV Beta. I'd be amazed if someone had it's true origin. Pop in here and voice up...
Daaannng, now I wanna Bats/Tarp MM. 
DEVS! GET TO IT!!
lol ah beta memories, sadly I don't know the origins.
I'd roll one...
It looks like a possible Bots/Traps typo... Think that might have been how it started.
Camping Tarp: +5% resistance, 90% chance to collapse as you enter it, 90% chance to blow away with a breeze.
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor
"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."
If everyone likes these, I plan to forward them to the powers-that-be as possible ideas for i17...
-Bats-
1) Throw Bat
1) Bat Patrol (Summons 1-3 small, angry bats)
2) Throw Two Bats
6) Equip Bats (With baseball bats)
8) Throw A Lot of Bats
12) The Man Bat (Summons 1-2 living baseball bats)
18) Belfry (Summons bat horde...our wings will blot out the sun!)
26) Summon Cowl Guy (Summons an overweight basement dweller in black spandex)
32) Little League (Equips bats with baseball helmets)
-Tarps-
1) Tarp (Like Ice Slick. Except...not slick...mostly for show)
2) Wet Tarp (This one's slick. Better than that one^)
4) Picnic Tarp (Gradual regen. Very filling. Chance to get overrun by ants)
10) Acid Tarp (Induces vomiting, even to yourself)

We'll need a new emote. Running away waving your hands trying to protect your head.
