Seems like Stubing ran aground this week. No swimming required to get to this beach. After we all comment this is several easy weeks in a row, I expect next week to be brutal.

Scratching my head.....an MG meta that's so straightforward? Is that possible? But, it does look like everyone's in the same boat....or rather, on the same beach.

On vacation, starting in Las Vegas, and also on shore before midnight PDT. Lots of tequila already. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Just returned from a long drive from Indianapolis to Naboo -- obviously added pontoons on my SUV crossover to make it "ashore". Yeah, and I had guessed I'd have about 10 pages in front of me by this time. Congrats all and happy Friday!

I’ve looked 10 times now to see if there was not perhaps some deviously hidden second answer because this one seemed so straightforward. I can’t find any subterfuge but then I guess that would be the goal of subterfuge? Sticking with my answer but hoping I don’t find my car parked in the wrong garage!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Ashore at top speed, after breaking out in a needless cold sweat upon seeing the title.
And, Hey Matt! If you can’t remember where you parked your car, I’ll lend you my wheels

Easy-Peasy . It's going to be a mob scene on the beach this week.

I looked and looked too. Glad to get a second opinion from Dr. Tom.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Late start this week, but I saw the answer pretty quickly.

When Matt last tormented us two weeks ago, the title of the contest was erroneously put up as Some Real Dude In There and later corrected to Some Real Duds In There.

This week the title is Dude, Where's My Car? I wonder if that was intentional to ring our chimes from two weeks ago?
Well, “Duds where’s my car” probably sounded too insulting?

The Cabana Boy is of Caribbean descent. He speaks Spanish, Creole and English. Isaac is from Philadelphia, I think. Plus, the Cabana Boy is taller and has abs to die for.
Why does the cabana boy have an automatic braking system? Sounds ominous regardless how impressive.

My theory is that they’re giving us a couple straightforward ones to ease in the new graduates of Crossword Contests 101.

Nice to see so many people here on the beach.
