More stuff to prove I'm old... when I was a kid there weren't that many cartoons available (i.e. no 24 hour cartoon channels), so Saturday morning was a special treat - you'd get to watch HOURS of cartoons. I remember that my parents loved it because I'd entertain myself at one of the house while they were able to sleep late. It was the one day of the week that I popped out of bed right away instead of trying to lie in a warm comfy bed a while longer. I'd get up, make myself a huge bowl of cocoa krispies (one of my favorites for the bonus chocolate milk left at the end - but not good to leave sitting for a couple of minutes, got soggy too fast) and sit on the couch in sugar-high cartoon watching bliss.
Part of what started me on this cartoon thought is that I have an internal product name going through my head in the tune of something from the Marriage of Figaro - the part where it repeats "Figaro" for a while (but with the product name in there). D'oh!!! Oh, and the fact that I can't hear most opera without picturing Bugs Bunny or Elmer Fudd or other Looney Tunes (or is it Toons?) characters dancing around. Well... that and the fact that I wore a Looney Tunes sweatshirt today too. Maybe I should behave like a cartoon character all day? Hit people over the head with big hammers, step off of high places and pinwheel in place for a while before falling, etc.?
