MOAT crossed after the drawbridge nearly dropped on my head. Novel twist there.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

After a banger of a first day, there's only 1 more solver to add after day 2:
Schmeel
So that's 46. If that's because you were all off doing the MEOW, that's fine with me!

Crossed and stormed. I’m behind on my daily metas this week .. three little girls here who keep calling me “Nana!”
Reminding me what a mercy it is that the babies come to us in younger years…

I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

Here's the solution to "I Got The Drop On You":
During construction I really wanted to avoid having a YOU clued as YOU in any of the themers. I came up with CRY OUT LOUD and ANGRY YOUNG MAN quite quickly. But FORTY OUNCE was something I'd never heard of. After all, we're metric here in Australia.
