Stay Tuned!
Ahoy Muggles!
Thanks for tuning in to another exciting episode of Muggle Meta Monday! If you're around my age (60ish), then you probably remember when TV announcers told us to "stay tuned" prior to station identification or commercial breaks. It was like the announcer was letting us know that now was a good time to grab a snack, make a bathroom visit, or anything else as long as we didn't "touch that dial!". Today we have innumerable downloading, streaming, and viewing options available to us, but the ads just pop up abruptly and without warning. I personally find these technological "advancements" kinda rude and impersonal. I guess you could say that my TV-watching preferences are a bit old-fashioned.
I'd again like to thank my "Dream Team" of meta testers and techies: @Abide, @Al Sisti, @Whimsy, @boharr, @MarkWoychick, @DrTom, and @Joe Ross.
The meta answer is a famous person.

Think I just rolled off the couch. Awaiting confirmation. Really enjoyable!

Saw nothing for quite a while. Then saw something and wondered if it might be a coincidence. It wasn't! Another wonderful MMM by Cap'n Rick!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
