Bird Lives 11s · 2024-03-31T12:23:22.125Z
Happy Easter. I was hoping to learn the word for that shreddy green stuff, but it doesn't seem to be in this basket. I probably should have mentioned that in my earlier solve.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T12:47:47.476Z
  Thanks for your help with testing, Jay. I don't know the name of that Easter basket grass, but maybe someone here will be able to enlighten us.
  - kymike 2s · 2024-03-31T13:20:37.673Z
    Does it have a special name? I always called it like you did, Easter basket grass.
    - Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T13:47:33.100Z
      Possibly not, but knowing this crowd, someone is sure to come up with something clever.
      - frostyjhammer 🤓7:03 · 2024-03-31T17:05:20.839Z
        Fauxliage?
        Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T17:35:13.042Z
        Folks, we have a leader in the clubhouse!
        HeadinHome 🤓3:20 · 2024-03-31T19:52:16.754Z
        Brilliant!

        Horse hare? Veggetation?

        Good one, Mike!
    - Darth 🤓7:00 · 2024-03-31T21:04:04.089Z
      I think it's called EAstro Turf!
      - Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T22:26:31.078Z
        Oho! Another planet heard from!
- emmie 🤓4:14 · 2024-03-31T16:37:49.920Z
  At the stores, it's just called Easter Grass!
  - Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T17:36:42.807Z
    I think I like @frostyjhammer's term better.
    - emmie 🤓4:14 · 2024-03-31T23:00:08.448Z
      Agreed!
kymike 2s · 2024-03-31T13:20:32.897Z
Happy Easter. Thanks for the fun and timely meta today.

  Thanks for solving, kymike. And Happy Easter to you too!
Cindy Heisler 2s · 2024-03-31T13:31:40.733Z
Happy Easter, Rick! Perfect meta for today.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T15:33:13.297Z
  Thanks, Cinny! Happy Easter!
MatthewL 🤓5:47 · 2024-03-31T14:23:26.026Z
Nice one, Rick! Thanks for the holiday appropriate meta. Plus, clever cluing (25D was a fave).
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T15:33:37.026Z
  Glad you enjoyed it, Matthew.
LarsCaine 🤓9:55 · 2024-03-31T14:44:32.824Z
Thanks for 47D!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T15:34:47.287Z
  You're welcome, LarsCaine. I wasn't sure if everyone was familiar with REBUSes, so I threw 47D in to help out.
I K Snamhcok 3s · 2024-03-31T14:29:29.896Z
Have a happy E-day!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T15:35:05.767Z
  You too, Chris! Thanks!
Abide 9s · 2024-03-31T16:16:42.776Z
Such a mill pond I solved off the title and prompt. Happy Easter all!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T17:32:45.989Z
  Thanks, Peter. Had to balance out that first "choppy" week.
emmie 🤓4:14 · 2024-03-31T16:36:24.005Z
So fun!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T17:33:28.688Z
  Thank you, emmie. Glad you enjoyed it!
KayW 🤓4:18 · 2024-03-31T17:48:29.414Z
Much fun - thanks Rick! Now to go back and look to see if I missed any... (you always seem to load up on them)
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T20:15:39.048Z
  Thanks, Kay. It did feel kinda strange creating a puzzle where the final answer was "Easter Eggs". Please let me know if you find any more, and I'll take credit for them.
woozy 🤓10:02 · 2024-03-31T18:15:53.490Z
Funny and light and easy. Don't think anyone will need any nudges.

49D? I did not know that.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T23:50:30.861Z
  I used to work at an A&P grocery store when I was in high school.
- hoover 2s · 2024-04-01T22:27:10.042Z
  I believe the full original name was The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company. At any rate, I agree, no nudges required.
woozy 🤓10:02 · 2024-03-31T18:20:27.645Z
"Don't think anyone will need any nudges."

And then I read the nudges and realize.... I didn't get any of nudges 3 to 4.

I kind of wondered about 1 and 3 but didn't fret too much about either, and Nudge 4 completely went past me.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T20:17:03.263Z
  Thanks, woozy. I guess sometimes nudges are helpful, and sometimes they aren't.
  - woozy 🤓10:02 · 2024-04-01T04:51:00.840Z
    I didn't need them to solve. But I needed them to appreciate to full depth!
    - Capn Rick constructor · 2024-04-01T12:05:19.300Z
      Ah, okay. I wasn't sure. Thanks for sharing that.
Jim23809 🤓5:11 · 2024-03-31T19:31:32.733Z
Woo hoo! Didn't have to reveal any tips. Good puzzle.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T20:17:17.576Z
  Glad you liked it, Jim!
Dave C 3s · 2024-03-31T19:56:18.556Z
Happy Easter. We guessed the answer before starting and it quickly became obvious.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T20:18:07.824Z
  Thanks, Dave. Yeah, a nice easy one for the holiday. Watch out next week though!
HeadinHome 🤓3:20 · 2024-03-31T19:51:50.210Z
Totes adorbs, as the kids used to say. Fun Easter treat!

  Thanks for solving, Wendy! Glad you enjoyed it.
Darth 🤓7:00 · 2024-03-31T21:07:02.692Z
From the prompt, I eggspected this answer. Thanks, Cap'n, and Happy Easter!
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-03-31T22:27:35.174Z
  Thanks, Darth. You've got the helm next week! Looking forward to it!
ReB 3s · 2024-04-01T01:06:58.902Z
Glad I didn't wait until tomorrow. No nudges needed this week. Thanks.
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-04-01T01:50:16.079Z
  Thanks for solving, ReB!
ajk 8:48 · 2024-04-01T09:50:46.384Z
Late start but speedy finish. Very nicely done. I missed the nuance of the misplaced EGG the first time around. Clever indeed. :) Thanks.

DrTom 4s · 2024-04-01T03:18:34.322Z
Way to turn a trait into a meta Cap! I have to admit I kind of knew it before I started (given the date) but still went through the solve just because your girds are always so much fun, and this one was no exception. I did try to find an EGG for the Easter (or Paschal) Lambs but I figured that was not one of them in the end. Some wonderful cluing as usual.

- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-04-01T12:08:03.699Z
  Thank you, DrTom. A lot of folks had it pegged from the get-go, but I'm glad to see that your solving experience was still enjoyable.
- DrTom 4s · 2024-04-02T04:53:57.009Z
  Oh, it is your GRIDS that are fun. I mean your girds may be as well but I don't know if you are planning on getting the band back together?
  - Capn Rick constructor · 2024-04-02T13:08:26.675Z
    Just the "Erratic Kelp" band.
Qmark 5s · 2024-04-01T13:02:21.548Z

  Thanks, John. Glad you found time to solve today!
DrTom 4s · 2024-04-02T14:08:32.736Z
You know I was sure I'd find a clue that was "Male Scoundrel" and "Hide like a pirate" or "What parents often say they don't want to hear even one of from their children" - but darn that was a fun puzzle as it was.
DrTom 4s · 2024-04-02T14:04:17.369Z
Oh, you guys didn't think I'd let a punning contest go by without at least one shot did you? The filling for the basket is OBVIOUSLY called Eggcelsior! (though I admit I like Fauxliage as well!)
- Capn Rick constructor · 2024-04-02T15:06:02.719Z
