Introduction	I enjoy watching claymation soap operas on Playdoh.com, often think of alternative ways to say "um", enjoy herbal tea, value the benefits of a good nap, wish there was a subway to take to work, really hate the news (local or national) because it feeds the worst part of human nature and barely contains anything actually newsworthy, often wonder if it will eventually be discovered that all these wireless signals cause cancer, love my outdoor speakers, often take pictures of wildlife in my backyard (although sometimes the squirrels get antsy when I pose them for tea parties), think that the waterslide is mankind's greatest invention (prove it's not), occasionally eat a wad of dried Elmer's school glue, and am forced to trim my eyebrows regularly.

What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?

When I used to wake up a little too early as a kid I was forced to watch such stinkers as Tom Thumb, The Underdog, and Johnny Quest. Thankfully, eventually, Gummy Bears, Kissyfur, The Smurfs, and the standbys started at 8.
