Popeye gets super strength after eating the spinach but he's got to be
pretty darn strong in the first place just to squeeze the can and make
it pop open. I can't do that but then I don't have those giant forearm
muscles.

Speaking of Popeye, MeTV now features "Popeye and Friends" on TV every
Saturday morning at 7-8am Eastern. These are the old classic cartoons
that were show in movie theaters before the main movie. Fun to watch.

I watched a few minutes of that today. Popeye cartoon and a Betty Boop
cartoon.
