The Queue: Welcome to Summer

A full season of fun in the sun! Or if you’re in Canada, a full month of fun in the sun, and then we’ll be back to a chill in the air. That’s if we’re lucky! We could also spend the whole time under a smoky sky from wildfires nearby.

That’s a problem for future us to deal with, until then it’s time for a nice relaxing beach day!

While I get extra sunscreen, it’s time for — The Queue!

My favoritest person ever used to do video and picture work for a company that held a yearly golf tournament — I got to volunteer to be the driver so that she could focus on the aforementioned pictures and videos. Let me tell you, those were awesome days. I loved tooling around all day in that little cart, driving recklessly and being a general menace, and taking it places we maybe weren’t supposed to go. I also took the day off work, so rather than doing boring day job stuff, I was out in the fresh air and sunshine with birds and nice views. And! They fed us too, so I got a nice buffet breakfast and late steak lunch.

All of that to say I really enjoyed driving a golf cart, and maybe you just need a better reason than picking up signs. I must’ve done at least ten loops around that whole course, and once I got the hang of the acceleration, it was a great time.

Nah, just stick to Horde.

They’re the best after all.

So if the Kobyss are related to the Jinyu, and exposure to the core of Azeroth has turned them into that monstrous form compared to the Jinyu, then yeah, it could be a matter of devolution as the Murlocs that have come to the surface can’t get the good juice from the core. It would be interesting to see if you could take some Kobyss and make them into a Kobold-like Murloc with trips to the surface and exposure to candles.

I would argue that, in your example, though, you don’t have the ‘Humans’ example right. I’d say it’s Humans – Life = Undead. However, Undead – Death = corpse.

To expand on your list a little:

• Draenei – Light = Broken.
• Earthen – Rock = Dwarf
• Earthen – Rock + Radiation = Gnomes
• Night Elves – Arcane = Trolls
• Highborne – Oxygen = Naga

I couldn’t go on without getting much sillier, but those all feel right.

Kind of.

We have spent the first few days of Summer here being rained on, so it’s warmer than ice, but not exactly what I would call full-on fire festival time. It was a perfect day to take a big, hairy St. Bernard to a park without him overheating too much! So we’ve got that going for us.

Oh, curling tournament easily. Way way back in High School, I got a week of curling and a week of golf, and I enjoyed curling way more. It must speak to the ice in my veins as a Canadian. There’s way more yelling involved in curling, too, which is a plus. In golf, you’re only yelling if you’re about to hit someone with your golf ball — which is admirable for a safety reason, but less exciting.

Here’s a bonus joke: How do you stop bacon from curling in your pan? You take away its little brooms!

I’ve done it again, I’ve resorted to bribing Bacardi for y’all — this time with 20 Great British pounds. If that doesn’t work to get you good luck in your vaults, nothing will! Do you know how much the pound is worth compared to the Canadian dollar?! I don’t know what he’s doing with all the money, I just hope he’s not spending it all on catnip and fermented tuna.

Have an excellent Summer, everyone. I’ll see you in the fall!

Oh, I’m being told that we don’t get a Summer vacation. In which case, I guess I’ll see you next week. In the meantime, help Anna to feel like she’s on vacation with lots of easy questions for tomorrow.
