I don't like the beach much. The mixture of sun, sand, and seawater tends to make a mess of me.
The puzzle was a lot of fun, though!

Well, that was fun. I tried getting the themers without any other entries. Didn't do too great. But loads of fun.

But, um, nitpick, shouldn't it be "Mister Overliteral" rather than "Captain Obvious"?

Still. Loads of fun.

Agree, I was beside myself with laughter - no wonder it got so loud!! Luckily I got it done quickly because I had to go to the store where they were having a limited duration sale on herbs and laundry detergent, and as we well know thyme and Tide wait for no man....
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
