The Queue

It’s finally over. I’ve done everything on Mechagon island required of me to get the keys to the shiny Monocycle. I am Mecha-Done. I really liked Mechagon when it first came out in 8.2. After the struggles to get the last things necessary for the achievement — I like it a little less.

It was a lot. But it’s over now and it’s time for — the Queue.

Somehow, every day seems to be Friday and also it’s never Friday. How does that even work??

I suppose it doesn’t matter, because today is definitely Friday. Or at least I’m writing the Queue, so I’m going to say it’s Friday and in so doing make it true.

So happy Friday, Queue!

If you can hear this line in your head, congrats! You’ve run Siege of Boralus too many times.

Anyhow, Queue time!

(This week’s Queue is, sadly, not an all-Kalcheus Queue.)

Door explodes outward in a shower of splinters as deranged man throws himself through it, landing on the floor in a heap.

Did someone say pet themed Queue?

Armed men attempt to halt the original man, but he explodes in a whirlwind of shocking violence, an almost operatic display of raw, primordial destruction utilizing a T-Rex jaw clamped around a ridiculously outsized sword with a large eye in the hilt.

My three cats, Aurora, Sasquatch and Puck and my dog Marrina are all named after characters from the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight. Pictured above is Marrina, my dog, named for Marrina Smallwood, the aquatic alien member of the team.

It is Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday, but really I’ll take the flimsiest of excuses to eat some tacos. Or anything, really. Give me a food-related demi-holiday and stand back.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we give the answers.

If both Mitch and Liz get to post pictures of their pets — I get to post mine right?

This is Bacardi, and he’s an ornery lil fella, and he has torn up more than one couch in his lifetime — but he’s my ornery lil jerk.

If Mitch posts a picture of a cat, I have to post a picture of a dog. That’s just how this works, okay?

I currently cannot see my cat because of the quarantine. I mean, it’s technically a family cat that lives with my parents, but I consider him my cat because he loves me so much and also I love him. I’ve visited from a safe distance twice, but I’m pretty sure he’s at least half blind, so he just kind of looked super confused to be outside and didn’t really seem to realize I was there. I can’t wait until I can finally see him again.

But enough about my cat. It’s Queue time.

Hi. It’s the Queue. My Lightforged Draenei looks like he’s a bit worried about what MOTHER plans to do, doesn’t he?

Let us talk about things.

Oh, and yeah, this is very cool. Unfortunately I didn’t see it until just before this Queue went live or it would have been a very different Queue.

You ever have a friend you haven’t seen in a while, but you’re curious (and a little afraid) where they may have gone? You’ve lost touch a bit so you can’t really contact them, and the radio silence is making you really, really nervous? Picture unrelated.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and then we answer them, assuming they don’t save the world from the Burning Legion and then disappear.
