By the way, what’s with the shout-out to the competition in 5A? Shouldn’t that be WSJ?!

On shore. Easiest meta ever but we are in the season of Bowl Games.

On shore. A New Year’s gift from Matt!
A record number of solvers, maybe?

Ashore...thank you for going easy in the new year, MG! Or a "pageant"?

On shore, I believe. I was thinking that it couldn't possibly be this easy for the last 20 minutes, but after reading the comments here, maybe it is.

The answer I'm thinking of isn't a series in the way that 'Friends' is.

We poured Guinnesses to watch the Bearcats, which promptly went into a lightning delay! So I printed the puzzle. Here I am!

And my MMMM mug just arrived!!!

What was that expression? Sometimes it all just comes together...

Hoping for weather ⛈ improvement in Birmingham soon! ☀️ ☀️ ☀️
Lightning delay = more Guinness! Congrats again on the MMMM mug!

My guess is that the reasoning was that if it asked for "WSJ pieces," the answer would have to be a first-letters abbreviation. "WaPo" and "op-ed" are "clipped" abbreviations.

Quickly ashore. And resolving to remember 5D more often when solving metas this year...

Happy New Year to all!

Speaking of PAGEANT, if you haven't done so, check out today's (1/2/2020) WSJ puzzle.

I’m ashore.

Last year, I was 0 for 2 after the first two weeks, so 2020 is looking better than 2019 already.
