BTW, one drum beat for the cheese, two for the hook, threes the spitter

[DrTom]

Ashore - It's a Homerun!

And the count? Tutu, of course. Thank you, thank you; I'll let myself out.

After a close plié at first of course....I'll follow you out Al.

Keep your shirt on, José!

[Olof]

Ashore! No doubt about this one!

[Scoopdave]

That one foot/ yard short right field fly ball by Judge would have been a homer in exactly one major league ballpark:

Yankee Stadium

I thought this one would be easy from the prompt but I'm not seeing it yet.

Mostly just here to let people know the monthly Lexicon Devil contest meta was just posted:

grid took about 10 minutes
meta took about 45 seconds

Nice one for the weekend.

Maybe he should have borrowed one of Altuve's buzzers ... or asterisks.

[MajordomoTom]

better a buzzer on your shoulder than ... what was apparently used to cheat in chess.

[Jeanrosz]

I got it…all by myself! Yea!

Now at battement, #2, shortstop Derek Jeté?

[ImOnToo]

I just had an opportunity to do the puzzle and am pleased to say that I am safely ashore this week! 🏖

[EVJ]

Ashore! Fun one.
I’ll have some popcorn, peanuts, and cracker jacks with a Sam Adams Octoberfest.

Good afternoon muggles.

I wonder if I can get workman's comp for injuries sustained typing SHORE so many times - 185 as of now with more to come.

and these are the contests that records are made of. The current record is 290 on the shore

First welcome our newest muggles - Sleepy, ScoopDave and NaplesGuy always great to increase the size of the clan

Next, go look at @adajeo posting at #105. Then scroll through and check out the subsequent comments.

And for @Guffman and @The XWord Rabbit I received a note from Isaac that he has a good supply of carrot juice in the ship's bar and he needs company

And I don't know how they do it. Whether there is a crowd or no one, @Beth Tyrpin and @BethA land on the board almost at the same time. Postings #36 and #38 at 4:26 and 4:28.

Now back to taking apart my wheelbarrow as the new handles are arriving tomorrow.

Cut and paste, Bob, cut and paste.

Ashore!
(Anyone else fear next time Matt G is gonna throw a no-hitter? )

Yeah, this one felt more like an intentional walk!

[Kris Zacharias]

On shore.

[Jade]

Me and my wife are ashore; really liked this one!

[Scott M]

Getting ready for a physical trip to the shore (Corolla, NC) and didn't have time to get to it until this afternoon. Not as quick on the uptake as some of y'all, but a fairly easy swim!

BTW, directly in front of our beach house are the remnants of the wreck of the Metropolis, which broke up in January 1878. It's a tragic and sordid story (http://www.ncgenweb.us/currituck/obits/metro.html). Apparently the wreckage was completely buried under the sand until a few years ago.
