Meme Monday: Vacation Memes

Well, I'm not about to go on vacation, because I can now state what I've (not) been up to the past couple of weeks: Jury Duty.

I was selected as an alternate juror for our local county's Grand Jury. For those not familiar with the US Judicial System, Grand Jury is a jury composed of people who review evidence on felony cases presented by the Prosecutor's Office to determine if there's enough evidence to charge a person with a crime. This is not the actual criminal trial, that's held separately and with a separate jury; this is just a review process designed to make sure that there's enough evidence to even get to the trial part. 

As an alternate, after the swearing in, judicial instructions, and training (yes, there's training involved so we understand the process) I only had to show up if someone from the two seated Grand Juries was unable to attend due to illness or whatnot. As the person representing the Prosecutor's Office indicated, I or the other two alternates weren't likely to be called, but we were there in reserve. It could be worse, as I was already prepared to spend two weeks away from work and doing this instead, but that never materialized.

So, not a vacation, but because I had to set aside that time as a "just in case", that does affect my ability to take a vacation for the next month. (I love corporate policies. Yay me.)

What I can do, however, is post about some vacation memes.

"Hail to the night!" my ass. Actually, that does
bring up a question: if Night Elves prefer the night,
wouldn't they be more susceptible to sunburn on
the beach? For example, my son and I are really
pale and prone to sunburn, while my wife and the girls
aren't (relatively speaking). From X and Nicarao Gaming.

And what people do on vacation, because even your toons need a break from time to time.

Again, lying around at the "beach".

Or maybe go camping. 
From Peanuts or Pretzels.


Then again, some people love to go visit the casino
and gamble their vacation away. From Gamblingnews.


But for a gamer, ganking is the real vacation.
From Ranker.


Well, okay. I'll grant you THIS is the
real gamer vacation. MMO players know this
one pretty well, judging by enough comments
and posts on forums and other social media.
