"Please Sir, I Want Some More"
Good morning Muggles, and welcome to Muggle Meta Monday!
This week’s meta is called “Please Sir, I Want Some More.” As for a rating, I think it’s around a Week 2. Please PM me your solution by 10 PM on Saturday, and as has become the custom, I’ll post a couple snapshots of a leaderboard during the week. Feel free to PM me for nudges, but try to stick with it for a couple days first. If nothing else, there’s always Nudge Wednesday.
One correct solver will be chosen at random and will receive an item of his/her choice from my swag bag (a Blarney Rebel Band CD, a Utica Club keepsake, or a $15 donation to a charity of your choice).

There are two acceptable answers to this meta, and one "super-answer." Good luck!

Awaiting confirmation - but pretty sure I have both acceptable answers and the super answer.

If you find the "super-answer," you get double the swag, right?

SOOOO much fun! The clue for 64A was my LOL trigger. And 47D and 59D in the same puzzle -- how awesome is that?!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I resemble both people in this clue! Well, at least the answer part. And definitely not the puzzle solving skills of them!

I'm off the couch. Loved the cluing here: 7D, 64A. Funny and clever puzzle. Thanks, Al.

Without having done anything other than print the grid, this sounds like someone has been watching Animal House from the title

Well, I'm trying, Al. I'm a charter member of the SMS Club (Slow Meta Solvers). Got the grid, that's all. I'll continue pondering.

It was just pointed out to me that 48A contains a typo (so much for publishing a clean puzzle!). It should read "Wide shoe size," not "WIde shoe size."

I guess it doesn't count as a rabbit hole if you kick it with your foot saying "Open up, dangit! I've got to pursue *something*", does it?
In other words... I'm nowhere.

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Off the couch!
Al hasn’t confirmed yet, but another Muggle tells me I have it.
As usual, a Sisti puzzle has had me in stitches.
I was thinking too, someday we’ll see the clue “VERY wide shoe size” and the answer will be EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I was searching for a good book to buy today as I was doing the grid. 12D made the decision and so far I'm glad it did!

Same. I'm stuck in phase 1 ("This is a meta?")
