Meg,

Rule Number One of puppy ownership is that you must bore the shinola out of everyone with whom you come in contact with photos of the wretched thing.

Do your job!

On the board. Solve time 15m total. Probably helped to have MG's WSJ meta as a warmup. I liked this one overall.

When I look at my phone apps, I have only 50 apps of which 9 have two words. And my suspicion that my photography apps and similar others do not fall into the category of "well known". This may be a struggle.

I think I know what Yogi Berra would have said if he did metas.

And now I'm beamed up (confirmed), so heading to the 1A bar.

Not a super solid click but I submitted something. Still don't know how someone can solve this in 1 minute. Props to them.

When you get to the fork in the road, take it?

No, nor is it: “Nobody goes there any more; it’s too crowded”

I finally had the courage to submit my original answer, and I am now beamed up. I had this answer only minutes after completing the grid, but the lack of a definitive aha moment made this play somewhat more difficult than a week 1 for me. Nevertheless, I did enjoy this meta.

Nope. But I know which one it is. :)

Solved and submitted. Based on the chatter on here I think I am correct, so once again I am saying, "Beam Me Up and I hope I end up in the transporter room instead of scattered throughout the universe".

EDIT: Safely aboard!

Curious on the comparison between this and last week, both of which seem Week 2-ey. Number of correct entries might be close for both.

If you don't get this one right away, it's a pain in the app.
