The Queue: Would you rather
So, there weren’t really any questions that spoke to me from the Friday Queue. Sometimes this happens!
This means you get a Queue full of me answering random “Would you rather” questions I found online.

The Queue: Caught in a trap
I must be stuck in a trap. That’s the only reason I can think of for still being here.
Look, that cheese was so appealing and delicious looking… Is it any wonder that I took just a small nibble? It’s not like I ate a bunch of pomegranate seeds or ate at a table in the Fae Court. That would be silly. I certainly haven’t been pushing on a door that’s clearly marked “Pull,” I haven’t made that mistake in so long.

The Queue: Case of Deja Queue
Hey, wasn’t I just here?
I could’ve sworn I was just here. Or is it more like I’m still here? Either way, I’m here, you’re here, my cat is here, let’s do this thing.

The Queue: FriYay!
It’s Friday! The weekend is here, and hopefully that means you’ve all got lots of time to be lazy, and productive, and then lazy again. Laziness is an important part of many good weekends, as long as you’re not forgetting to pick someone up from the airport. Maybe you’ll go to a market and buy some fresh produce, or take in a movie. You should check out your local indie movie theater, maybe they have some fun stuff on offer. A couple of weeks ago, I saw Blazing Saddles in honor of Mel Brooks’ 100th birthday at my local indie theater, and it was a great time! We didn’t even plan on doing it, just noticed a flyer and were nearby with time to spare. It was fate.

The Queue: What a storm
It’s Storm Watch time, and oh boy have we been getting hit by a big rainstorm. It’s been about a week of off-and-on rain, and all weekend, some steady, hard rain has left the city and surrounding areas in a rainfall/flooding warning. Sadly, no truly epic thunder and lightning, but maybe that’s coming next week.

The Queue: Dogs out of this world!
I spent the afternoon on Sunday walking around a park with my favorite person and a 163-pound St. Bernard. The local Humane Society puts on a big afternoon for people to bring pets to the park called, fittingly, Pets in the Park. We saw lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes, a few cats, some gerbils, and a bird. Somewhere there might’ve been a turtle too! There was a dachshund dash, and vendors, kiddie pools for the dogs to splash around in, and even free pup cups from Starbucks!
A great time was had by all. Arthur the St. Bernard was a very good boy and well behaved, which is never a guarantee when there are so many new smells and animals around. He was definitely the centre of attention wherever he went. There wasn’t a bigger dog that we saw all day! He even got to meet a very chill cat that was being carried around by its owner all day.
While I go and tell him what a good boy he was again, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — the Queue!

The Queue: Adventures in food
I’ve done it. I have tried a Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese… cheesecake. I saw this food crime a couple of weeks ago and made it a mission to eventually try it. I say food crime mainly out of the response I got to it when I mentioned it during the Blizzard Watch podcast a couple of weeks ago. Nobody else seemed to think that it was going to work for some reason. Cowards, the lot of them!
So I’m happy to report back after both eating the cheesecake and surviving eating the cheesecake. It was fine. I’m honestly a little disappointed that it wasn’t more of a trainwreck. I was really hoping that it was going to be amazing or horrible. I didn’t want a safe middle ground here, just pure food chaos! It turns out that if you’re already using something like cream cheese as a base for your cake, adding extra cheese via a dehydrated cheese flavour pouch at some point in the mixture doesn’t really do much to change the flavor profile. It was still just a cheesy cake. There was the barest hint of more of a cheddar flavor on the edge of the taste, but nothing that made me go ick. If you want to make it yourself, you can follow the official recipe, and maybe horrify some of your friends and relatives, but I’d be surprised if they’re also not left feeling just whelmed.

The Queue: Release the Quacken!
I went and saw one of my favorite bands last week, Alestorm!
They put on one heck of a great show. The standout is, of course, this giant inflatable duck, but they also had a singing parrot and a rapping shark come out for a couple of songs, so it was a pretty wild time. There was crowd surfing, and a mosh pit, and at one point the mosh pit sat on the floor and all rowed in unison with the singer, and a whole bunch of songs about drinking rum! What’s not to love?
I’m a little sad that they didn’t do their cover of The Last Saskatchewan Pirate, written by a local band, but I can understand not changing the tour setlist for just one stop.
