"But Wait, There's More!"
Ahoy, Muggles!
It's great to be back on MMM where I got my start creating meta puzzles over 2 years ago. So far I've constructed nearly 50 puzzles, and I'm hoping to make many more in the future. Speaking of "more", today's title - "But Wait, There's More!" - kinda fits all meta puzzles, but here it has a special meaning that I'm sure will be familiar to most solvers. I'd like to thank my MMMentors @Abide and @Al Sisti for all of their help the past couple of years as well as @boharr, @whimsy, and @Joe Ross for pretesting and technical help.
The meta answer is a familiar phrase.
"But Wait, There's More!"

Off the couch! The answer eluded me for awhile. I came to in the shower!

Fun and off couch. Had to whack the sides of things for anything to come in focus. When it didn't I ran a phrase though my head and put my coffee mug down ant there it was.

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Hey, I did the EXACT same thing! I was certain I'd never get it, and then there it was.

I had an epiphany on this one similar to (albeit a bit slower) than @ajk. I'm almost certain that this will not happen again in the near future! Good idea and well-executed, Cap'n!

Cranked up my K-Tel collection and found my way off the couch. Thanks for the Monday meta!

Off the couch and out fishing with my Pocket-Fisherman®
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
