65. To Be Continued

The well-known 11-letter answer to the meta would make a good fifth theme entry.

Deadline is Saturday, August 12 at 1 pm ET.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

I'm not sure what the verbiage here is on Pun of a Kind, but I'll still Guinness you for the quick solve nonetheless!

Great!

Any suggestions where we can find one?


....

Oh, just kidding. I'd give this a 1.47. Grid was toughish and for a while it looked like the meta would be much harder than the one you promised... but in the end it wasnt.

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

... Are we sure it's well-known? I'm positive I have the mechanism, but can't come up with a relevant answer, nor are my search engine skills availing. I think my leaderboard spot is at stake!

We can have other muggles weigh in, but I would almost certainly say so!

Absolutely well known. If you don't have it you don't have the correct mechanism. And if you have the grid correctly done its 100% cinch.

Well known, certainly. But I'll just say that
? I'm happy enough to be in the demographic that I am for this one. :D


Oh, and

ummm.... does that pass the Breakfast Test?

I suppose it does. A quick google search yielded this:
