Breakfast Topic: Battleground queues

Even when playing at peak times, it can take forever to get into various BGs, especially if you're Alliance and your server has few Horde players (or vice versa). Passing the time while waiting for BGs is becoming a fine art amongst many of my fellow guild members, with impromptu trains around Ironforge, dressing up parties (I kid you not)
and fishing competitions being held to while those minutes away.

Personally, I just do some auctioneering or tie up some loose ends outside of WoW, but there are some far more inventive ways to pass the time. What's your favourite pastime while waiting for battlegrounds? Do you risk travelling to a questing zone, knowing that you could get pulled back at any moment? Or do you see the queues as valuable city time?
