Killer spot to learn poison breath for BLU. There are a couple spawns right at entrance to Gusgen. The Skeleton Warriors at intersection should pose any problem to you.

No one has said this, but I just wanna get out that that is one cool screenshot.
Agreed. This thing caught my eye immediately when opening the page. A helluva cool screen. Props to you man.
Thanks ^^ this was a screenshot i took while trying to get magicked skull for a friend
agreed, tis pretty cool :)
Brilliant... I've seen that quoted in many places, but I've never seen it in its entirety. I wonder if there're cliff notes or something that tells what all thos words mean. Gotta love old English... or is it Celtic? Who knows...
actually, it's nonsense english. infact, only the first stanza was ever translated in alice through the looking glass by non-other than humpty-dumpty (the eggman) himself!
brillig - right before tea time, if i recall.
slithy - slimey and lithe, amalgamated.
toves - kinda' like badgers, lizards, and corkscrews that nest around sundails.
gyre and gimble - i think this meant running about frantically.
wabe - the area around a sundail (way afore and way beyond)
mimsy - loopy (think drunk).
borogoves - stork like birds that resemble a living mop.
mome raths - green pigs, rather, who can't find their way home.
outgrabe - a sound kinda' like sneezing, whining, and wheezing, if i recall right.
so really, it's all just nonsense. no one knows for sure what the rest of it means, but people are free to venture a guess.

In the Annotated Alice, they list Carroll's notes and letters where he explains some of the other words. Most of them are amalgamated words
frantic + joyous + jubilation = frabjous
In general, it all means pretty much what you think it does.
Carroll liked to use words as placeholders for ideas, rather than give them their own meaning. He was a mathematician, after all.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
