          I didn't have to ask for help -- though it would have been appropriate.

            Well I have a headache from looking through the clues, but it was a great puzzle with the usual laugh out loud clues. Thanks for a workout but an eventual solve Mikey. I "guessed" NUDGES on a whim because it was just too referential to have a title like that, a "won't solve themselves", a song that refers to being lost at sea and a 6 letter word. I also get a big DOH for not recognizing that this came out on MAY 1, just as I missed the MAY 4 on another Meta.
