I tried to make this META funnier with my answer and darned if it is not impossible to be more amusing than the REAL answer. Sure it took me several times due to my self induced blindness, but when the dawn finally came I was 23D.

Fun MMM.

I cannot really say off the couch because I was literally THROWN off of it by Abide, but I'm at least not still sitting there.

This is how I feel when I arrive at a conclusion derived from my own misunderstanding...

Submitted, but awaiting confirmation. Nice puzzle!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Off the couch. I could see where this was going early on. Still can't imagine what the pageant is.

Off the couch! Grid was a bit of a tough fill, but meta came quickly.

I came late to the party as I struggled WAY too long and hard on MGWCC. This meta delivers as promised: my spirits have been lifted right off the couch.
Fun puzzle and meta!

I didn't get to look at this until yesterday and the grid kept appearing in my dreams last night. Solved first thing this morning and already confirmed! I loved this one. Thanks Peter!

A slight tap on the back of my head (with a 42" Louisville Slugger) righted my wrong.

Man, I would love that chair, haha.

I'm off the couch - in better spirits, as a result!
