My brilliant meta-buddy EVJ sent the coast guard cutter for me. We’re going to submit—-odds may never be this good again!

On Naboo. Big groan on final approach but a clear landing...

No clue on how to start this one. Happy to take a nudge if anyone’s up.
Always happy to provide a nudge if I’m ashore.

I'm on shore, with a nudge away from a very deep rabbit hole. I had an Old Fashioned last night, and might just have another tonight!
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! :D

Anyone know if Isaac has kids? If I'm still here tomorrow, I want to have a proper greeting for him.

On the shore with help - a lot of help - multiple times for help.

And not a particularly satisfying experience

Still at sea. I see things that are interesting but I’m getting nowhere.

I work for one of the world's largest fast food restaurant companies - this is my week - or not.
All is not lost however; the buffet line is serving up fresh pizza, tacos, fried chicken and burgers on the Lido deck today - put it on my tab.

Lost at sea and nothing promising that I can see so far. Not giving up though!

Eesh. Is this a record low of some sort? I was ferried ashore by a kind muggle so no mug for me. Major kudos to solo solvers. I can't say whether I like or dislike it-it's a meta, and as we all know the only rule is that there are no rules.

Stay well all

I may be giving up. I want to avoid the desperate grubbing for nudges (although I peek and look for hints; just not struggle with them). The cost is maybe not getting it this week. Just too many little things that have no consistency and too few. If someone has a nudge they are dying to give someone I'll be a gentleman and take it off your hands....

If that's me, I'm definitely not on shore. I came up with an answer, but it can't possibly be right. Especially after the meta from a few weeks ago that stated most puzzles are not R-rated.

I can't wait to read this rabbit hole story on Monday!
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.)

Hi.
I got it.

And what I'm drinking has no name and I don't wish it on anyone.. It's a tea made with a bunch of Chinese herbs personally mixed for me by an herbalist.

I submitted an answer (and also learned an interesting fact about a fast food chain)
