I grew up watching Super Friends on Saturday mornings. In fact, I learned to whistle because of Super Friends. I was watching cartoons, standing on a foot stool pretending to be Superman. I was making the sound effect of wind rushing past me when I realized that I was whistling. I ran and woke up my mother to tell her I could whistle. I’m sure she was thrilled.

So what, you may ask, is responsible for this little trip down memory lane? A friend sent me a link to the hilarious Seanbaby’s Super Friends Page.
