“Bye, bye, bag,” said the cat.

Wow, I'm really baffled by this one... (See also, "I love inside jokes. Someday I hope to be part of one.")

Gosh, 23 the first day and ONE since - obviously the fascination was truly only initial.....
Here's a freebie for those who are stuck (and I think I know why!)...there is a nudge clue!

Ok, then I’ll stop fission around, I don’t want to add alternative fuel to the fire…(we got a Hunter X thing going on here!)

I see a good candidate for step 1, but when I try the obvious choices for step 2, I get gibberish. Trying to leap to the end and guess the meta answer didn't work either.

Off the couch. I managed to make this difficult for myself. I thought I had already tried the correct mechanism but apparently not because there it was.

LOL solved after the first nudge but didn't realize it until later. I was like 'oh, I guess this isn't the mechanism, but it would be kind of a cool one'
Came back later and...that was the mechanism.
