Off the couch on this one, but back on soon to tackle the WSJ I just printed out. So many puzzles, so little time...
An enjoyable puzzle, Peter!

Not me, man. Every time I see this picture I think how creepy that chair looks. Like a giant hand grabbing your *.

I just now looked at this again after setting it aside for a few days and slapped myself in the head for not getting it sooner. Finally off the couch.

A new MMM record, with 10 submissions via crosshare. Toughish grid, not-as-tough meta. Glad everyone liked it!

That’s me, all right! That purple dress is one of my favorites. And the 6-pack on the cabana boy is quite something!Wendy Walker wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 8:36 am @Meg , is that you depicted in the cartoon in entry #69?

Now that we have the reveal - any details?
Granted I didn't look very hard when I read this, but have no idea what ensnared a few folks.

There were a decent number that initially submitted something like bartender/"at the bar"/"raise the bar". Most of these had not noticed LIMBO in the southeast. @DrTom raised, lowered, and probably hurdled before he saw what was intended.

Oh... I thought the Limbo was a reference to "low" but not essential. I saw the BAR in the long clues and for the LOW I looked what was below them but it didn't occur to me those were limbo bars... and the letters below were actually limboing.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Not sure what it says about me that when I saw the first BAR I immediately looked for Chocolate -- (well, that does raise my spirits! )
