On the beach. Nice meta -- anthesis of the unsolvable antecedent.

On the beach. I'll have that gin and tonic that you make so well!
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:

ashore4us! Shucks, 5:18 pm on Thursday and we're on page 4 :(

Oh, well. We're leaving for our trip first thing tomorrow morning, so we don't need to worry about a WSJ solve.
