The Queue

Every time we decide it’s gonna be Taco Tuesday I am consumed by no other thought for the rest of the day. I need to go to the store and get some avocado, possibly some lime. I am already hungry, I will be hungry until dinner, and I cannot wait.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we cannot promise we aren’t sprinkling cumin on the answers.

It’s both Canada Day and Independence Day this week!

A good portion of North America is about to go to a big party and play in the sun while maybe blowing up a small portion of their country. All I’m most reminded of right now is that I don’t really have a Canada Day outfit that’s all red and white, so I guess my red shorts will have to do. If it wasn’t going to be super hot, I could wear my hockey jersey, which is about as Canadian as anything. It would’ve been more Canadian if the Oilers had won, but alas.

While I go and try and put a good outfit together, it’s time for — The Queue!

Turtles are friends. We all like turtles. Even scary zombies like turtles.

Dinosaurs cost $158.

The solution to that Dinos vs. Tortollans battle is easy. Turtles win!

This is The Queue, where the philosophy behind reptilian warfare — and more! — is in vogue and consequential. You ask, we deliver.

Yesterday, while I’ve been busy being too ill to move, y’all had a discussion of the new Hearthstone pet, an adorable baby devilsaur that out-chibi’s Chibi Godzilla. You know, the one where you have to play a gatcha game and spend up to $158 dollars to get him? Y’all remember, it was yesterday’s Queue.

It’s a good thing the CMS has me afraid to write long responses to things here, because otherwise I’d literally be ranting for 20,000 words about how much I dislike this.

Look at this guy! He’s so adorable! He’s perfect. He’s everything I have ever wanted. And I’m never going to have one for myself, but that’s a story we’ll get into later.

For now, let’s queue up and answer some questions.

It’s the time of year where I want to listen to smooth blues and jazz and float in a kiddie pool with a freeze pop and umbrella drink, while somebody smokes a rack of ribs near me all day. Sunglasses on, thoughts off.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where you ask us questions, and don’t worry, our laptop is sealed in a baggy and floating on a cooler lid.

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!

There’s a lot going on in WoW right now. I can’t keep up!

Is this what it feels like to be a filthy casual?!

As I ponder all of my life choices that led to this moment, I’ll regale you with some answers to your questions!

Going over this Queue, a few paltry hours from yet another doctor’s appointment (one in which my foot will have chunks of callouses carved off, and no, that’s not a joke) and I’m realizing that I’m trying as hard as I can to give short answers because every time I get excited and write a long one the CMS crashes.

Like that sentence above. That’ll probably kill this Queue. I’m literally shaking right now imagining it.

I’m off on a trip this week, so I won’t be joining you to chat below (I have a lot of driving to do as I head off to meet up with my guild, several states away) — but I’ll check in later tonight to say hello. Where traveling is concerned, it’s about the destination, not the journey, and driving is quite in the way of arriving. (Still, it’s better than flying.)

But while I’m on the road, here are some questions to discuss. Please talk amongst yourselves.
