Confirmed off the couch, after being informed that I stopped too soon the first time.

Embarrassed that it took so long. I had the right idea, sort of, but short-circuited it. Peter had to slap me into place....

Fun Meta, clued in distinctive Abide manner, every time I think "well he HAS to be wrong" I see what he means.

Fun distraction even if I ended up doing a faceplant.

No familiarity with any of the potential themes -- google to the rescue -- reached what seems like a reasonable endpoint -- will sit back down again if so instructed.

Agree…tried to see it myself, but had to Google to solve.

Edit: Confirmed.

Thought I was home but I was not. Third wrong answer, I'll just wait for the reveal.

I was looking for a number, not a word. But your fourth answer was right!

Tried to get off the couch earlier today. But, I stumbled and fell right back on my keister. 🙃

Awaiting confirmation, but think I am confidently standing steady!

EDIT: Confirmed

Fun one!
