Good luck with the grid and the meta. I hope that this "classic" is from the 50's or 60's or I may be out of luck and have to resort to asking my kids or grandkids.

A reminder in preparation for the Matt Gaffney Q&A. If you want to ask Matt a question but won't be able to come to the Q&A, send me a PM and I will make sure that it gets asked. Also if you need/want help with any zoom issues either send me a PM or come to the Tuesday Zoom meetup an hour early and I will be there to help.

And thanks to Wendy for filling in for me when I was leaf peeping.

Got it!

Hmm. I am submitting what I think is likely it. Maybe 73% confidence.

ETA: Based on conversations with a smarter muggle, my 73% is 0%. Whoops.

Ashore... Guinness please?

On the beach!

Enjoyed it!

Ashore.

Ashore!!!! Super cool idea. Another great one from Matt.

Go Phils!!!!!

ON the beach!

Ashore! Great one. Happy to be page 1!

I got an answer but had to look it up since I never heard of it….

Ashore !

Pretty sure of this one! Ashore!

On the beach!

I also believe I know the answer but am waiting to submit until I can close that remaining confidence gap. Maybe.

Edit: found the confirmation I was looking for. Submitted confidently!

Solved

Ohhh, okay. Ashore!

On Naboo. Flew into hyperdrive, but had to pause for it all to "click"...100% on this one, and a smile (under the mask)! :)

On shore! I thought it was pretty clear, but this may play differently for people who grew up with different TV shows.

Edit: Now I'm curious about the "wrong" answers that people are finding! Maybe the answer I submitted wasn't the intended one after all... But if there's a justifiable path (which I think mine is), I bet alternate answers will be accepted too.

Guinness me

Happily ashore after the fiasco of last week. Don't want to scare anybody off, but you either know this TV show or you don't. And if you don't, there's no real path from ship to shore.
