Fun one.
Mid-way through, I realized I've seen this meta before. So I got to enjoy it twice. Thanks Dr Tom!

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!

This was much easier once I actually read the instructions
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, Iβll be especially delighted.)

Got the mechanism yesterday, but didn't have time to actually submit until today. Ironically, the delay was cause by being on vacation in

OOF, gleefully acknowledged and accepted! I won't say it is my Everest of puns, but it might be my Mont Blanc.

Thursday Solvers:
41 Trypmom
42 clev
43 ajk
44 Al Sisti
45 Darrell
46 DIS
47 frostyjhammer
48 katiedid
Eight more hardy souls have freed the kitty. Nudge day tomorrow if anyone needs them (I'll post even if you don't!). Don't know what my competition is because I have not tried the WSJCC; tradition dictates that it be done with Friday breakfast which is often grilled ciabatta with butter, peanut butter and honey. Certainly not very healthy but truthfully I don't care because it is my treat for the week. As for healthy eating, remember that Euell Gibbons, a natural food and healthy eating proponent, died 10 years younger than I am (and in an odd coincidence, in the same hospital in which I was born!). For the record, the only stick I have ever eaten was a licorice stick and never anything more barky than chocolate bark.

Slowing down quite a bit. OK, let me try some nudges.

Gosh, and we were doing so good. Only one more solver on the board:
51 Mr. Tex
But, it does push me over the half-century mark. Maybe if people clear the MGWCC and WSJ off their plates they will turn back to this for God's sake.
