Man, that was TEH BETS!!!1 I used to get up about 2 a.m. to watch Saturday morning cartoons, so i got to see the Late, Late Movie, and after that the Late, Late, Late Movie, (a lot of it was John Wayne, i think), then a Solid Gold re-run (Solid Gold was a disco show which ran in the early 80s, after disco was certifiably dead), and Captain Kangaroo. Sometimes i fell back asleep before the cartoons actually came on.

Parents, i present myself as an example that sending your children to bed early doesn't always help. It just ade me wake up every day b 5 a.m.
