    Love the creative definitions, I didn't get "goes on safari" and "butt filled with grass" until after revealing. Could you give a parse for 1D?

      Sure thing! It's definitely the trickiest clue in the puzz. SURFS = "goes on Safari?" (as in the web browser). "TV's Blue Man Group?" is SMURFS, and you remove the M (i.e. "cancel" the premiere of Mad)

        Ah, that is tricky (but clever), thanks!
