This meta's title is perfect life advice! Another great one from the Gaffney!

No snow here in Chicagoland - yet anyway!

Beam me up! That was more of a week 2 in my opinion.

I was stymied by last week's, so I was ready for more disappointment, but a second glance at this one showed a glimmer of hope, which quickly grew into a full-fledged beam of solvitude that carried me onto the leaderboard at #41.

Said a Muggle, “If a party ain’t noisy,
“It’s a flop that nobody enjoys.” He
Used the illustration
Of his own celebration —
The birthday heard all over Boise.

Well, I know what it isn't.

Trouble is what it isn't, is too good not to be it. But it's not as it's too frayed.

So in frustration, I'm just going to complain that 29A isn't chewy. ... until the wife says "The ones used in sticky pudding are".

Well I have submitted, hopefully the right thing. It seems like it can be nothing else, but of course I've been at that party before.

I think it is important to finish the saying though...

"Eat, Drink and be Meta, for Tomorrow you May go Why!" :D

I'll wait for an update.

EDIT: In at #95, right after Drcuteboy (heck I thought they had entered me twice for a minute :D )
