Well Blow Me Down! Popeye Turns 75

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Maybe Popeye owes his longevity to all that vitamin-rich spinach.

The ``Ugg, ugg, ugg''-ing cartoon sailorman who gets his superior punching power by guzzling greens from a tin can is celebrating his 75th anniversary Saturday.

King Features Syndicate, which owns the rights to Popeye, is planning a yearlong series of events to relaunch interest in the pipe-tooting mariner with the outsized forearms, including a new 3-D animated TV special written by ``Mad About You'' comedian Paul Reiser.

That special is set for broadcast next holiday season.

Meanwhile, this weekend in New York City, the Empire State Building plans to shine its tower lights green from sundown to midnight ``in honor of Popeye's enormous love of spinach,'' according to King Features.

Popeye began life in 1929 in the popular ``Thimble Theatre'' comic strip as a limited story line guest. He graduated to movie shorts, many by the renowned animator Max Fleischer.

Popeye battled everything from sassy goats to the bloated bad-guy Bluto while pursuing the affection of girlfriend Olive Oyl. He even appeared in a video game in the 1980s, collecting falling hearts from his rail-shaped love.

Robin Williams played the bulging-armed character in Robert Altman's 1980 musical movie ``Popeye.''

I am also a Ren Faire Rat and performer. I was at Minnesota RF and a handsome man at Excaliber told me .. you would look great in this hat..

I bought it, joined the guild, loved the pirate life (still do Court when I have to) and

I blame NQG on darkRose..

I need two sheaths.. one is too small and took a strip of me leg when it split the sheath, and the other was without a sheath when I got it..

need another one for a dagger that is getting scratched.

Beautiful dress, Sweets, and I bet you will look amazing in it! All the pirates will be naming their ships after you.. I love the hat with it. Please post a pic of it on you when you get a chance!

The Pelican Inn is a great looking place. I can imagine a quiet evning in an overstuffed chair with a glass of Jameson's, a fire going, and the lights of the Bridge seen below.. ah! Bliss!

A few of us were at an Outback restaurant in Nebraska. It was Darkrose, Taya and a loverly wench named Charly there. Lass Charly knew of the manager there, and told us to have fun with him. First time he goes past, I ask him if he has every tasted chocolate on a woman's fingers before..(worried look)

We eat the 'shrooms with our fingers and start to fling them into bodices left and right, then eat the meal with our daggers.

Next time thru I ask the manager if he allows counter dancing for money (big worried look).

BTW, the server we had was great, got all our jokes, and offered to be our cabin boy if he got to go to the Faire. The tables next to us are looking and whispering, wondering just where we came from. Someone at the faire wondered if we were from Holland, since we wore bodices... LOL. No great singing, no interviews, but that manager will NOT forget us soon.

> Nick the Dragon Slayer had a long-standing obsession to nuzzle the beautiful Queen's voluptuous breasts, but he knew the penalty for this would be death.

> One day he revealed his secret desire to his colleague, Horatio the Physician, who was the King's chief doctor. Horatio the Physician exclaimed that he could arrange for Nick the Dragon Slayer to satisfy his desire, but it would cost him 1,000 gold coins to arrange it. Without pause, Nick the Dragon Slayer readily agreed to the scheme.

> The next day, Horatio the Physician made a batch of itching powder and poured a little bit into the Queen's brassiere while she bathed. Soon after she dressed, the itching commenced and grew intense.

> Upon being summoned to the Royal Chambers to address this incident, Horatio the Physician informed the King and Queen that only a special saliva, if applied for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that only the saliva of Nick the Dragon Slayer would work as the antidote to cure the itch. The King quickly summoned Nick the

> Horatio the Physician then slipped Nick the Dragon Slayer the antidote for the itching powder, which he quickly put into his mouth, and for the next four hours, Nick worked passionately on the Queen's voluptuous and magnificent breasts. The Queen's itching was eventually relieved, and Nick the Dragon Slayer left satisfied and touted as a hero.

>

> Upon returning to his chamber, Nick the Dragon Slayer found Horatio the Physician demanding his payment of 1,000 gold coins. With his obsession now satisfied, Nick the Dragon Slayer couldn't have cared less and, knowing that Horatio the Physician could never report this matter to the King, shooed him away with no payment made.

> The next day, Horatio the Physician slipped a massive dose of the same itching powder into the King's loincloth. The King immediately summoned Nick the Dragon Slayer.....
