Ashore! Since it's NYE, I'll have some champagne, barkeep! Of course, it will have some other name, like "Cuvee", perhaps?
Happy new year, everyone!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

On Naboo. As the suns are dipping into the horizon, there's a strange excitement in the air. A crowd is gathering for celebration....

I overhear a toast: "You cannot stop change, my friends, but you can change!"... "In every situation, choose wisely. Happy new year to all!" :D

On shore, I think. At least 6/7 of the way there.

Edit: Now I get it.

Verrry tricky one from the Merry Gridman. But made it to shore.
