I'm not on YouTube much, was aware of the series from other means/methods, and ... come onto the beach, we're not going to eat you.

Back in my beachfront warren after a week away. As I noted, it didn’t get put on VRBO or AirBnB, so no cleanup necessary. I did manage to think of two related, but slightly different, possible answers, but submitted the more general one. I think that’s sufficiently vague not to count as a spoiler, but if anyone disagrees, I’ll erase this.

Funny, I can remember the SNL version, but I have no idea what the original ad they were parodying was for.

I think it might be a parody of Certs. It’s a breath mint and a candy mint. It’s two — two— two mints in one!

We will get started on our Saturday report early as the shore is crowded with 113 fighting for beach space and the line at the tiki bar is long.

We also have four new muggles: RedtheRed9 aka Dan Kravitz on the WSJ comments page, Valerie Sadid and Regina Connors on the WSJ page, and Jkj here

This contest has the makings either for a record number of entries and astronomical correct percentage or a nightmare that may dwarf the infamous Pageant.

So far pookie is watching the playoff games on the ship with Isaac

And the long list of those on the shore are
Al - who was on the shore about 7 minutes after the contest was posted

You missed boharr on shore. An easy think to do as he's seldom there.
