"Holy Episcopalian, Batman! Are you a lapsed Catholic?" - Robin

Popeye, is what he is!

Ahhhh,,,
The archetypical struggle between good (Popeye) and evil (Brutus). How very Zoroastrian! But, do we want a spinach-eating, pipe-smoking, grammatically-incorrect sailor as our children's role model? Tsk! Tsk, I say!

Popeye: "I yam what I yam!"

God: "I Am that I Am" (Hebrew: אהיה אשר אהיה‎,)

VanIsle, Come to think of it, I had never made that connection before! Do you think...???

Have we not all been taught that all things are possible???? ;-)
Besides that - Yams are very healthy!

Have you forgotten Minnie and Pluto and what about the strongest of all - Popeye!

Popeye had an addiction and has since gone through rehab. Olyve Oyl now has a colostomy bag from Crohns from anorexia sourced laxative abuse although she still suffers from the eotional guilt of cheating on Popeye with Wimpy while both were being treated at the eating disorder clinic, bearing child and having to give him away to a another comic writer where he grows up to obviously be Jughead Jones from Riverdale. Jughead too has an illegitimate son, James Jones ( yes that Jim Jones) with Big Ethyl which is unknowingly his sister which Popeye and Olyive also had to give up after Popeye's fatal battle with TB.


What a sad, sad ending to otherwise good performers.

Petros, you raise an important issue! Popeye's girl may well have been anorexic. As you know, olive oil is a laxative.

Are you suggesting that you know that Petros uses a lot of olive oil? I thought he worked with minerals suggesting the use of mineral oil instead. Does that bring us back to Superman and kryptonite???

Hold on here. Wasn't Popeye's arch-enemy a big guy called Bluto....:roll::smile:

His real arch-enemy was his spinach addiction.

Forgive me, Juan, for I have sinned! You are correct. I was out of character (comic-book character, that is!)

I wonder if Aphrodite and Artemis and Apollo and all them were Greek Orthodox.
Is the Silver Surfer a Unitarian Universalist church member?

There are two parts to your query. I will address them both.

1. I do not know if Aphrodite, Apollo, and Artemis (Note: Please use this alphabetical reordering, as your original list suggested primacy) be Orthodox. I have never seen them make the Sign of the Cross, so I cannot say definitively.

2. The Silver Surfer is (as I understand it, but Juan may correct me) Baha'i. The first syllable is almost mute.
