Beam me up. A record placing for me (top 200)

On the board! Nice to get one out of the way as I continue to struggle with WSJ!

I am beamed aboard. Very easy and straightforward.

Beam me up!

Week 1s are always good for the meta soul happy 4th!

A nice easy one for my birthday! Though I had another somewhat cheeky answer occur to me first...

Happy birthday!

Beam me up!

Week 0.5 but I’ll take it. Beam me up!

Submitted, waiting for confirmation, but ... wow, over 330 on the leaderboard already?

Yes, a soft week 1, but I'll take it also.

Hope Matt's ok, the schedule and the words "STRESS TEST" have me concerned.

Update: #337 on the board.

No 12 steps needed.

Beam me up. Are there drinks here? I'll have a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster .

Beam me up. I’m glad I’ve solved one meta this weekend. Nice cold glass of anything for me!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, past 12 noon this Tuesday give the cheeky one too!

OK, that was liberating. Now I have done both the METAs, perhaps it is time for the Food for Good ones? I must have angered the Gods of Metas though because, although I am not in the top 10 (or 20 or 100 or...) I still have solved some and my name appears nowhere on any of the boards. Gosh, I knew my bad jokes were groaners, but I didn't know there would be PUNishment!

Majordomo - I got on the Board as well, already 400 plus. I have to say though I do not understand your "Spoiler" even though I got the answer. Will you either explain it Tuesday or PM me? I was afraid I had missed something but since I know my answer (along with most of the immediate world) was correct I am sure I am not interpreting some bit of cleverness correctly.

Matt fixed it. I've seen that happen before.

I had sent my answer in at about the same time, and when I didn't see my screen name up there, I sent Matt a quick email saying "PLEASE tell me I'm not the one who did that!" I showed up in the next refresh, and that solver was still listed a minute before me. Whew!

Whew! That means it wasn’t me either. Did someone forget to type in their user name?

Oh...Al, I withdraw my question. Think I just answered it on my own. Yikes!

Interesting. I put "YIKES!" in the subject line when I wrote to Matt...

Did someone post the answer as their screen name? At least it's a week one...

Either that or someone coincidentally shares her name with the first lady in question.

Bump to maintain thread order.
