Martini couldn’t get a home loan in Pottersville, so I’m guessing he couldn’t get a commercial loan either. Not sure how Nick got one - either he saved his pennies or he had an in with Potter.JAQT wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 5:16 pmI'm guessing it's "bizarro world" Nick, the bartender (who apparently is the owner of Martini's in the alternate reality).

I'm ashore. I didn't want to miss being part of the record crowd. Is there any Kölsch left for this late arriving beachgoer?

It was the bartender that said that Mr. Gower had been in jail for poisoning the kid. "If you know him, you must be a jailbird yourself." Mrs. Bailey said (of Uncle Billy), "It's a lie! He's been in the insane asylum since he lost his business (ever how many) years ago."

Nick: You know, that's another reason for me not to like you. That rum-head spent twenty years in jail for poisoning a kid.

“It’s a lie! He’s been in jail for years for poisoning a kid. And if you ask me that’s where you belong!” What character in IAWL uttered those famous lines?
Ma Bailey: That's a lie! He's been locked up in an insane asylum upstate every since he lost his business! And if you ask me, that's where you belong too!

(bewildered) Hey, what is... Hey, Nick, Nick...
Isn't that Mr. Gower, the druggist?
NICK
You know, that's another reason for me not to like you. That rum-head spent twenty years in jail for
poisoning a kid. If you know him, you must be a jailbird yourself.
(to his bouncers)
Would you show these gentlemen to the door.
GEORGE Mother...
MA BAILEY
Mother? What do you want?
(It is a cruel blow to George.)
GEORGE
Mother, this is George. I thought sure you'd remember me.
MA BAILEY (coldly)
George who? If you're looking for a room there's no vacancy.
She starts to close the door, but George stops her.
GEORGE
Oh, Mother, Mother, please help me. Something terrible's happened to me.
I don't know what it is. Something's happened to everybody. Please let me come in. Keep me here until I get
over it.
MA BAILEY
Get over what? I don't take in strangers unless they're sent here by somebody I know.
GEORGE (desperate)
Well, I know everybody you know.
Your brother-in-law, Uncle Billy.
MA BAILEY (suspiciously)
You know him?
GEORGE
Well, sure I do.
MA BAILEY
When'd you see him last?
GEORGE
Today, over at the house.
MA BAILEY
That's a lie. He's been in the insane asylum ever since he lost his business. And if you ask me, that's
where you belong.
She slams the door shut in George's face.

And.... as long as we're quoting; what TV character uttered the immortal words "You got to to breathe; you got time for music."?

Many thanks for all that you do. Perfection is not required! And sometimes those thought (and counted) to be ashore are actually on a sand bar, and missing both land and Isaac's bar.
I just wanted to add to what may be a record total.

Yes- a bait and switch! Entice us with easy metas to build our confidence back up, and then slam em again with a Level 4!

Our final count is 264 muggles on shore. Based on past experience we will probably set records of over 4000 entries to the WSJ contest and close to 4000 correct submissions. Don't hold your breath for an email tomorrow telling you that you have won the mug but who knows, it might be you.
Stay safe and be ready for Thursday's meta. In between check out the Monday Muggle Meta (MMM) and the Madhatter's Enigma On Wednesday (MEOW)

Yet after 78 of these meta-puzzles, with 67 correct answer submissions (86%), and no mug to show for it, I continue to hope...Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 9:34 pm ...Don't hold your breath for an email tomorrow telling you that you have won the mug but who knows, it might be you.
What's that phrase about doing something over and over and over again but expecting a different result? Definition of insanity? Then count me as the King of Hearts! (And who remembers THAT movie???)

If I win the mug, I don't care if it's a Kas half or a Kas 5. It'll be for all those metas I got right, whether it was in one day or (like the recent puzzles) in FOUR days.
It would just as sweet!

I’ve been ashore since Friday night when I finally got to sit down with my WSJ. I thought I should announce my arrival before the deadline only to find Muggles standing shoulder to shoulder on the beach. You would think it was Spring Break! Isaac must be very lonely at the bar tonight.
This one was so easy I didn’t think it even rated a verse but I did create a clue that says it all:
A playful musical instrument that comes in Kirby, Kiss, and Kabuki versions.
Answer after the reveal
