As we near the close of Day 1, there are 38 solvers and a couple of nice alternate entries. Keep those cards and letters coming, folks.

Awaiting whether I am off the couch. Great puzzle and a relief from my “Power Trips” debacle!

Wow.... I don't know if I've ever quite made something too difficult for so long while actually having figured it out so early.
A beautiful and fun puzzle.

We are off the
after one attempt where we didn't submit a proper noun.
It pays to read directions.
Fun puzzle
@Bird Lives ! Thanks so much!

After what were some twisted paths and sightings of “oh that has to be it” paths I arrived at the correct, and very fulfilling correct one (where it still took me way too long to finally see the clever twist). Thanks for a romp with the natives Jay!

On the road yesterday so just got to the puzzle this morning. Confirmed with Jay that I am off the couch. See y"all tonight (or afternoon, for those of you who are out west).

Off the Native Tongue couch. Great grid and meta - thanks, Jay!

I acknowledge and appreciate this interesting post, but just can't give it a thumbs up as I find it rather creepy. I will try to put it far enough out of my mind that it does not come back to haunt my dreams. I would not be able to bring myself to sit on that.

Off the couch. Tried to make it harder than it was. Thanks, Jay, for the grid and meta.

Off the couch. Fortunately I didn't puzzle too long before testing for one of my favorite mechanisms. Thanks for an enjoyable meta (even though the grid was an absolute bear).

Apologies if I gave you or anyone else nightmares. When this came up in my image search list, my thoughts were:
1. WHY?!
2. Who on earth would put or allow this in their home???
3. I HAVE to post this.
#3 may not have been one of my best ideas
