Looney Tunes

I have well outgrown cartoons, but there was something special about those lazy Saturday mornings back when I was a kid - back when cartoons were actually kid-friendly. I used to watch Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, The Road Runner, Elmer Fudd, etc... every Saturday morning for years.

On this first day of 2009, The Cartoon Network has provided me with a very nostalgic blast from those Saturdays of old with an all-day marathon of those old Looney Tunes cartoons. I didn't realize until today just how much the pop culture of those days still has a place in my life as an adult. There are sayings that I have used over the past 40 years that I never even realized came straight from these cartoons. So weird.

I'm still watching and waiting for Marvin the Martian. "Being disintegrated makes me very angry... very angry indeed." "Where's the kaboom? There's supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!" He's always been one of my favorites... Oh, and I love the one where Bugs is doing the square dancing. Hilarious.

Thanks Cartoon Network for helping me out with my Un-Resolution.
