I live in Kansas, which is part of Tornado Alley, and almost every single year without fail, it would be a big thunderstorm during Day of Play. I mean, winds strong enough to shake my house and I could literally feel my bedroom window rattling. And like, majority of the state was under Severel Tornado Warning/Watch. What kid would wanna play in that kind of weather?

Besides, I always played outside in the morning on Saturdays before the storm came in. I’d have already had my outdoor thrills so I usually just switched to the station next door and watched the Disney Channel until it was 5pm and time for new episodes Victorious or True Jackson or BTR that they promised.

But what about you? Did you actually go out and play during Day of Play or were you like me and switched the channels?

    No, cause I watched Cartoon Network… Sucks they killed themselves by airing any crap they could get the cheapest and canceling anything worthwhile…

    I don’t remember them ever shutting down, but I definity remember these stupid “get up get up get up and play an hour a day” song commercials. Or as I remember, “get up and play a hooker a day”. Probably something my oldest brother said as a joke or something, thinking I didn’t hear it.
