How to know you wasted a weekend

When you notice that there is a 48 hour marathon of Bugs Bunny cartoons, and at the end of the weekend you have 36 hours of it on tape for future viewing.

Seriously, I did this under the pretense that these would be good cartoon to haveon hand when we have kids. Any age can laugh at these, and there are quite a few moments that require a bit more intelligence. I also consider them a safe cartoon I would be fine with my (future) kids watching.

Of course, underneath that pretense, I really taped them because I thinkg Bugs and Daffy are the 2 best cartoon characters ever, I had to get the “Kill the Wabbit” song, and if I missed the cartoon where Bugs subs for the on-vacation Roadrunner I will be very perturbed.

It’s a good thing I am already married, because senseless acts like the above would send the women off in droves.

Yea, well, I got sucked into the EastEnders, a British soap opera that was running on PBS. I figured that it was on PBS, therefore had to be quality. Nope. Just a soap opera.

Of course, I got good and snockered playing drinking games at my friend’s housewarming Saturday, so the weekend wasn’t a TOTAL waste.

I finally DID SOMETHING, I’m proud to say.

Went camping with another couple in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula. Weather was perfect on Saturday, had a great time.

Oh, my wife went, too. It wasn’t a threesome.

Mully: Have you noticed that they have edited all of the old classic Loony Tunes for political correctness? ABC has done it for a few years now on Saturday mornings, but I recently saw one on Cartoon Network that was edited.

Nothing burns me faster than watching one of the classic cartoons of my youth (most of which I can recite verbatim, sadly) hacked up.

We somehow made it through our youth without drinking nitro glycerin and swallowing a lighted match. Why is it assumed that kids can’t now?
