Done.
And with time on my hand, I devote myself to that most sublime of all literary sub-genres. I give you ... Spam haiku
stomach rumbles now
eat cans of pink greasy Spam
bowels grumble later

Ashore!
I am quite confident this was posted previously...but since I have just read the article about our group I figured there may be others out there who hadn't seen it yet. In case you missed it: https://www.wsjplus.com/articles/meet-the-muggles

On the beach...and was handed a fine. Stay home and stay safe!

Good to be back on shore after two weeks in the ocean (which itself snapped a nine-week winning streak).

Ashore! More spam haiku:
Tender pink morsel
Glistening in salty gel
What the hell is it?
Happy Easter, all!

My Ode to Hormel:
"Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam,
Lovely Spam, wonderful Spam..."
Soundtrack of my life.

YAY! Every one of us knows that feeling, the first time you see the "AHA". Of course now you REALLY are in trouble because, like chips, you cannot stop at one. So glad that you've found your way to the beach...now stay 6 feet away from anyone.

Thanks Patty. I had heard of an article and actually think I saw a different one? This was new to me and very enjoyable because it gave me more info on my favorite group! Who'd have thought a bunch of "word nerds" would end up in their own WSJ article.Patty wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:22 am Ashore!

I had the right idea all along I just could not put it correctly into play. I did try some wild gyrations before finally seeing the rabbit's butt (as Meg alludes to). Gosh I have a great pun here but I'm afraid it would be WAY too close to a spoiler, I'll wait until later. Dang and I do love puns, I'll satisfy myself with a beer and a sandwich instead -now what kind....
So that I'm clear, ASHORE!

I remember a MASH episode where they found a lamb just before Easter and they wanted to have it as an Easter celebration but Radar objected. So they had a Spam lamb for dinner.DrTom wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 9:22 amI'm sure most everyone has seen this, but it cracked me up:CallMeShane wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 5:46 am Done.

On the shore. Had to stare on and off for a while, but finally had the AHA moment.

Is anyone else having trouble doing this on line.? Type in a letter and it disappears.
[I've had this issue this week starting on Wednesday. It's happened before. I tried reloading and, while I may get a couple more clues completed, it reverts. Very frustrating.
