"The Bitter End"

#1

Post by Abide »

Good morning Muggles! As we approach the end of November, here's a meta for your enjoyment. I will be away from the keyboard this week, so submit your answer to @Bird Lives by PM, who will also be in charge of the leaderboard and Wednesday nudges. Of course, Crosshare is the easiest way to submit.

Contest deadline is this Saturday at 10pm EST. Random winner will receive the coveted Biloxi pin. Thanks to Bird and @damefox for test solving.

The meta answer is a 1971 movie, appropriate for this week.

Off the couch. Loved the muggle references in the grid!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Nope. Guess I can’t finish making the bed yet. Lewis the cat worked the night shift, now getting his 8 hours of sleep. I’ll bag him up for Wednesday’s MEOW.
