Dang, I'm not seeing it. BRB... I'm going for a walk.
Welp, that did it! Dino me!
Welp! I'll try that too.
And ...grouse mutter grumble.... jerks....
(I think I've had more success with staring and saying "I'm going to see something in the next five minute if it kills me" (It was successful once) than I've had with taking a break and coming back.
....
EDIT: Ah, there it is. Kind of amazing I missed it all along. I don't think this is either coming back are forcing it. But it's more "run it through my mind, again and again, and oh, it could mean something... oh, it has to mean something".
Really glad I stuck to it. And glad I didn't ask for a nudge.

Dino me finally with the help of a nudge from a fellow muggle.

Still not seeing it, but plenty of time with MGWCC and WSJCC behind me.
Quick question though, in the instructions, what is meant by "As usual, no Google here"?

What I found most helpful was recalling that someone on this board had (more than) once said Everything is there for a reason.

I think it means you won't need to Google "Margaret Cho" or "Yma Sumac" or "Tony-winning musicals" to answer the meta.

Ditto! Exact same scenario… glad I resisted the nudges. Gonna miss you when you’re (…er, your puzzles’re) gone, Will, enjoying them!
