L. Marcus Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: The Last Word Probably being social. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: The Last Word Friday evening was gaming. Saturday I was working (or at least at a workshop). Saturday evening was social. Sunday was as inert as I could get away with (though that included a couple of hours of yard work). Sunday evening was social too, dinner with my sister-in-law and her beau. In short, I did as little as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: The Last Word When it's fresh, so do I. But the canned or frozen stuff ... I had that when I was a kid, and I used it as a substrate for red wine vinegar, which is about all it's good for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister E Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: The Last Word I can't say I'm all that fond of canned spinach. Fresh green leafy spinach is fine. Robin Williams' reaction to spinach is quit good. Popeye's reaction to spinach is IIRC due to a mistake of one decimal place in the reported iron content of spinach. I've read the original material, and there wasn't much Popeye in it: Olive Oyl... Castor Oyl... Nana Oyl... [... the,] "intrepid explorer Lubry Kent Oyl. Lubry Kent's gift to Castor and Olive, a lucky Whiffle Hen, led them into the adventure where they met Popeye." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_Oyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: The Last Word My childhood was shaped by Popeye cartoons, but it's probably a good thing that I haven't seen any of the old ones in 45 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: The Last Word A side effect of my peripatetic upbringing is that the expression "You can't go home again" tends to be more literally true for me than the expression originally intended. In terms of revisiting old favorite entertainments, this is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister E Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: The Last Word ... but I'd be offended by 90% of the old stuff from the Popeye cartoons. It's best to just take away the good stuff & forget the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
