Ashore. Definitely not in my wheelhouse, so looked up some things (just for the meta).

My last streak has been broken so its time to change my Avatar.

Raising an IPA to being on shore, and hoping for a long new streak.

On shore. Like some others have mentioned, I needed to do a few searches, but it's easier than the last 2 weeks. I remember a similar one from a while back.

Now if I could only figure out the MMMM...

Ashore! Like others, lots of Googling. But done in the first hour and a half! I've always been a Friday solver. Fun!

Can't lie: I needed that quick swim to shore.

I'd like to say it was my special knowledge that got me the answer, but here I am on page 3 and it's only 5pm.

I will proudly note that my degree from Big Public University allowed me to get all but the last letter without googling, but by that point I had enough to know the answer and google only confirmed it. So, thanks, Prof Shoaf and LIT4900!

Well that was quick - ashore. Apparently it was to be....

No Googling necessary but there is a reason for that.


EDIT: Wow, started late (almost 5 PM) but got it so quick that I thought I'd be a page 1 or 2 - HA

Now about that mug - wherefore art thou?

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!

Ashore!

And wishing it were just over the Blue Water Bridge, down the 402, up the 21, onto the 7, and over to Stratford ON for the Fest.

Again some day!
