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.
I'm with you (though haven't solved it.)

I think I have it—confirmed. Great job by Al as always. He should win a 6A.

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.

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!

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.

Like several others I am off the couch, but was only 99% there initially.

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.

Probably off the sofa.
39-D and 6-A were new to me.
edit: Looks as if I've been PAGEANTed. I nailed the original PAGEANT, but this one ...

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