Ashore4us!! Loved this one. Cynthia sleuthed the clever mechanism straight away. Great detective work on her part. Perhaps it's the Sherlock Holmes infuence. It seems to help @Al Sisti to conquer these quickly.....

So, let's have a Beach Blanket Bingo as the waves come rollin' in. A London Pride, please with some Cotswolds cheese.

Hmm...crowded beach.... so I take it the answer isn't "Well, slap me with a fish-stick".

Oh well. I'm still ashore and will have a bloody mary... but replace the celery with a twist of lime, replace the tomato juice with tonic water, and replace the vodka with gin.
So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.

My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Ashore!

There is actually no native bunny population on Block Island.
Just privately owned and funded ones -- like this guy at the Animal Farm here --
