Ashore--- googled a bit

[Kris Zacharias]

On shore, having googled some, like many others. Decided to view the film this evening and am enjoying it.

[HunterX]

On shore. We think.

Skiing in British Columbia this week with the 2 kids. So we did a group solve in the same room, town, state (Province) and country!

We definitely found a metanism, though it’s not the kind I call a 100%-er. It does seem fairly solid. And there is a little bonus hint we noticed as an extra confirmation.

Edit: No googling for the grid. Lots for the metanism. Well, I use DuckDuckGo. So no googling, technically.

[Dow Jones]

On the Waterfront (oops...Shore).

[HunterX]

living in St. Louis, I could never root for the Chiefs (lots of bad blood, mostly baseball related, but it's there) and never for any "old NFC East" team (i.e., any competitors for the old "Big Red", from when the Cardinals were here).

We are rooting for the Chiefs here! I’m originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania so NO WAY I’d ever cheer for the Eagles ( even though I lived in Philly as a kid). And my husband is originally from Pittsburg, Kansas ( no H!) so he is a big Chief and Royals fan. (We raised our family in Chicago so the kids are mostly Bear, Cubs and Bulls fans — although the youngest lived in KC for the last 5ish years so he’s with the Chiefs now too).

Yo. If yous guys are dissin’ the Birds, why doncha come to a real city like dis one and see if yous can catch some battries we’ll be throwin’ your way. Best be dressin’ as Santa when you do.

Oh, and pick up some jawn while you’s here. Maybe a cheese steak. Then climb some light poles on Broad Street. The grease the cops put on it don’t wash off wit just plain wudder, ya know?

[JoeS]

Ashore, after a slight stutter. Watched it just a few months ago. Googled a bit.

[Kwyjibo]

Ashore....page double digits again

[Cindy N]

Made it ashore this morning. A quick "click" and done.

[Jackie J]

Made it ashore. Feeling good about my solve.

[Janet]

I am ashore! Hoping the state of my mug collection will change this time.

[Joe Ross]

Ashore, sure enough. Delayed my duckduckgoing until I had time. Nice puzzle.

[mlvilv]

Ashore, also with google.

[TeamDoubleTow]

We had to look at this with fresh eyes this morning... Alex did all the rowing. We think we are ashore. Happy to move on to other things.

[minou1808]

I suspect my movie knowledge is not up to this meta. I have so many theories but none of them have borne fruit. Please could someone give me a helpful pointer?

[Qmark]

Made it to shore. Used a bit of googling, especially at the end.

Not a single person would judge you for googling. It can be done with no more knowledge than what can be googled.

@minou1808 - I know very little about movies. I have seen only one of the ones mentioned. But my friend Mr. G helped me get the meta quite easily.

My feeling on using Mr. G or his friends is that if the constructors can use the internet to create the grid and meta, I can use it to fill in the many gaps in my knowledge.

[Bob cruise director]

Good morning muggles.

After the rush to shore yesterday, we have had a steady stream getting to the sunny beach. So far we have 4 on the ship with Isaac and 169 on the shore. And Isaac asked me to remind everyone that he will be having a special Super Bowl brunch tomorrow starting at 9 am and a special Super Bowl buffet stating at 4 pm - plenty of great apps, large beers and the full spread coming out in time for kickoff. And no sand in your food.

And the ship will have a large number of betting options for the game.

Currently on the ship are
