I'm with you (though haven't solved it.)Bird Lives wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 1:06 pm I thought this was a great puzzle, even though I was kept me one step away from the solution by my lack of cultural knowledge. Apparently the only others who are similarly ignorant are my older brother and a couple of hunter-gatherer tribes deep in the Amazon rainforest.

Cruise Director Bob Stevens and I solved this one together, with a fair amount of Googling, many e-mail exchanges, and some last-minute help from my significant other Mark. Awaiting confirmation from Al Sisti.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Submitted what I was sure was the correct answer only to find out I was 99% there. Resubmitted after a little research and am now 100% off the couch. Great meta, Al!
I can be found in Sheridan, NY, veejaying. (8)

Off the couch and into bed. That was a good way to wind down after a day’s work — just hard enough for a challenge but not a multi-day frustration. Clever clueing!

Off the couch, with Al's encouragement as I stumbled just shy of the finish line. This was a fun one - not surprising, given Master Sisti's trademark playfulness - with many smiles and much satisfaction when revelation struck.

I'm on the "almost" there list. Waiting for the coffee to kick in so I can put things together.

Looks as if Al Pageanted a few solvers. Or maybe it was that grilled cheese and ham gambit.

After a couple of subtle hints from Al, I'm finally off the couch.

Calling myself OTC, pending confirmation. Fun one!
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Really enjoyed this one!
I didn’t nail the dismount. But, with a little nudge from Al, I got there.
