I've seen some things, but no Aha yet. Still with Isaac.

The page 1 regulars will face some serious competition when you retire, Wendy!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I think my significant other Mark may have been taken over by another entity. (1) He said, "Hey! Isn't this the week the Music Meta comes out? We need to make time for that!" AND (2) he suggested that we sign up to bring a big healthy green salad to the family Christmas dinner.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I am doing the grid, and I am
Wond'ring who in the world is Lou Gramm.
If he's bluesy at eight,
Then I'll bet he can't wait
For good Isaac to pour him a dram.

(And while you're at it, Isaac, may as well hit me too.)
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Ouch, and even though I'm still on the boat, I sense its relevance.

A Cooper fanatic I'm not.
His movies? I've seen not a lot.
If he waited till eight
To get high, I'd just hate
It if Isaac delayed the next shot.

(Noontime, Isaac. Hit me again.)

Will graciously wave the flag and accept a nudge on this one, I'm afraid I've overthought it and now my head hurts...

I suggest you take your significant other to Dr. Miles Bennell. See any weird looking pods near your home lately?
