I can't think of a better way to spend St. Patrick's Day than a get together on zoom with fellow muggles! Thanks for coming on everyone and have a great weekend! And, remember to keep those Irish eyes smiling!
Don & Cynthia

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Is this a SAD meta or are some people getting really good at solving metas, I'm getting mixed signals from these comments lol.

So far I see nothing.

Ashore and ready for a greentini. I'm on a run of six weeks! Unfortunately, I've forgotten to submit my entry for three of them. I suspect it greatly decreases the chances of winning a mug.

Made it to shore with a little bit of help from my son, home on spring break. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!

Still in the bar with Isaac and a few others.Chased a couple O'Rabbits to no avail. Seeing a mirage is better than seeing nothing at all. Fingers crossed for a Saturday solve. Won't have time on Sunday for this as my daughter-in-law has her 40th birthday, and big celebratory shenanigans are planned.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

Ashore, thanks once again to the Zoomers! I had tried both of the rabbit holes mentioned by others, but their nudge provided just enough for me to find the pot of gold -- or green -- on this festive holiday.

Just got to this puzzle.

Ashore after a multi-week dry spell, or is that actually a wet spell.

I found the grid tougher than normal. Meta popped quickly.

Ashore after a nudge. Still took a while to complete!

Well, I was right. All I had to do was put it down, and come back later after some Irish Stew and a Guinness. There it was. On shore. Now back to the MGWCC.

OK all you bracketeers - how many of you picked Fairleigh Dickenson to play in and then pick off #1 seed Purdue

And how many of those west of the Mississippi have even heard of FDU?

On shore, fairly confident in the answer, but await the rationale, as I'm not seeing it yet. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all, be sure to drink that green Busch Light responsibly.

Saw this in an antique store last weekend. Yet another thing I don't fully understand.

On the ship, but on a trail and hoping to close the deal before Sunday evening. This possible rabbit hole might turn out to be the real thing. But for now, it's Condition G.R.I.D. (Gangway Retracted - Isaac Dispensing).

Ashore. Ignore previous post. It's just a reminder of the best reason for not giving up on a solve: There is no way to know how close you are to the solution -- until there it is. Don't give up -- it might be very close.
