The Queue

Oh, are we counting here? Then we’re going to count the best way there is to count: with pinball.

Owls. You can’t trust them.

Did anything major happen last night?

No?

I mean, I feel like something big was supposed to happen, but it kept getting postponed. Did I dream it?

Either way, let’s take a break from all those silly Warband things: it’s time to Queue, The Queue! How many questions can I cram into this warband-themed Queue? Twelve?!

I went on vacation last Saturday, and we’ve had a great time, going to Niagara Falls on a train, hitting up with Adirondacks for some outdoorsy fun. We even went swimming in a waterfall! I’ve been largely out of the loop in terms of information, but I’m sure there’s not a lot of stuff that happened I need to catch up on.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’re going to take a great big swig of water before we look at them.

The exhibition is in town and I’ve been there so much already, and there are so many more days of fun ahead of me! I haven’t been on the rides yet, but I’ve proven my iron stomach holds up by eating a pulled pork grilled cheese made with a Long John donut. Let me tell you, it was actually an interesting taste combination, and I would have it again. The rest of the fair food is pretty standard deep-fried and pickle-infused creations, but I’m still considering getting a burger served between two slices of watermelon.

The music lineup has been the true standout so far though. I’ve seen two great shows already with my best lady, and there are so many more! Tonight we’re going to go see Metric!

While I see if I can remember all of the lyrics to Black Sheep, it’s time for — The Queue!

Listen, I’m not saying the Spiritborn are wrong, but they certainly aren’t right.

I refuse to give you any context for that title.

Sharp-eyed readers may notice that today’s header image is one I tacked to the end of my last queue — if so I commend you for your observational skills and/or stalking behavior.

I saw a lot of gulls last week on my annual summer trip to North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Like most of the rest of the country it was pretty hot but not unbearably so; I was still able to do my normal resting and recreationing even if I read a lot more books than typical.

Of course all things good or bad must come to an end, so I’m back in the grind of things (the annual temptation to send in my work resignation from a beach chair was once again suppressed). While I sit here and ponder my next trip let’s answer some questions!

You thought it was Anna… but it was me, Red!!!

I don’t own a bear named Rutherford Bear Hayes and I don’t have dozens of great literature recommendations, but I’ll still try my best to honor the age-old tradition of the Tuesday Queue as Anna enjoys her vacation.

I’m gonna play it safe: gotta go with Standard Tuesday Queue rules. Best of five, single elimination, no jackpot, winner takes it all.

So buckle up, birdos, and let’s Queue.

Can you believe that we’re already so far into July?! It’s rude! Things need to slow down a bit and let us enjoy the weather.

Although it’s been pretty toasty out around here, so maybe it’s ok if we keep moving pretty quickly. Anything to get us closer to the best month, October. Things can slow down then!

While I try and invent a freeze ray, it’s time for — The Queue!
