Breakfast Topic: Did you meet your Pilgrims Bounty goals?

Thanks to an obliging (and naked) dwarf rogue in Dalaran, I was able to obtain my Pilgrim title without much trouble. Well, trying to get the Turkinator on the first day was definitely “much trouble”, but waiting a few days for Tirisfal Glades to empty out proved to be the less frustrating course.
