I still do a double-take when I read statements like this. I'd guess that @Bob cruise director, @DrTom, et al. have similar reaction.

WSJ doesn't get more difficult each week like MGWCC does. The difficulty level is random.

I believe this is the first time I've used the meta answer to help me complete the grid.

I declare myself ashore, but will wait to submit, as I feel I am being deceived.

Ashore...

Streak extended to 3 in a row, after a long spell in the wilderness (or at sea).... what's the world coming to? Not complaining, quite, but do enjoy the trickier metas...

Done and done. Got meta halfway through the grid and that helped me complete the grid, as a few others have said.

Ashore with the crowd. First time I had the meta before the grid. Could this be too easy? But, it's a lock, right?

Long line at the tiki bar, good thing I brought my own supply. Could use a bit of ice though.

Yeah, I did that too, although I didn't realize I was doing it at the time.

On shore. Finished over 2 hours ago, but couldn't believe it. Throwing my hat in the sand with a solid answer.
