You do know that one of the Knights became a dermatologist with a fame equaling Dr. Pimple Popper... Sir lance a lot of course!
A gal I had once said she was gwain to tell a group of us the whole story of Arthur but she perceived all would safir if she did so instead she told us the story of Lionel. She was a trained storyteller. (OUCH)
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!

Call out the 51A - Dr. Tom is running 56A? Oh wait - we need to call out the 10A, because actually it's a group of escapees from the infamous 46A...45A of them...no, I count 36D.DrTom wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 10:30 pmThat is a question best asked on Wednesday...hump day of course.Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 3:49 pm While working on the grid, I was wondering if 46A is where they sell new and used dromedaries?

It’s a Cap’n Rick puzzle and I can’t wait to get to it…. But it’ll have to be tomorrow, as that’s when apple returns my new iPad after it literally decided to die in the middle of a puzzle Wednesday.
Was at my favorite sports bar/restaurant for lunch, put it down, pick it up 5 minutes later, just dead. Never left my sight, nothing spilled on it… just started pining for the fjords.
Walked it over to UPS, they boxed it up for me and sent it off for free, and Apple’s sending me a new one and it’s coming tomorrow. If you get an iPad to solve on, please get the AppleCare+. No questions asked, they received it and sent me one the same day. Well worth the extra warranty cost IMO.
I did get both the the MGWCC and WSJ last week but I had to solve them like some sort of CAVEMAN with pen and paper I missed the unlimited highlighter colors and erasure abilities you get on the pad. Plus I had to walk over to the FedEx and get them actually, like, printed on paper for a whole $.18 a piece!

BTW, I think cavemen used stone chisels to complete their grids.

Matt and Mike better watch out. The quality of member muggle puzzles published on Monday rival that of M and M. Bravo to the Cap”n and all those who contribute on this site!
