One time when I was little I saw this movie on sci-fi channel. It had people turning into classic cartoons. In one scene a woman was climbing a building and she got transformed into betty boop. Another had that big fat guy from popeye chasing somebody. I would really apreaciate it if somebody told me the name.

My muscle size and strength is unbalanced. My biceps is bigger than I expected after two years of training, but it looks too round, thin, and hump-like. The space between it and my forearm doesn't look very muscular at all. I've tried using several different techniques, but I've been stuck like this for a long time.

My forearms are weirdly shaped as well. When my hand is facing downwards, it looks great, almost like Popeye's arms. I've been complimented since I was a kid because of it. When my hand is turned upward, it looks very thin. The sides of my forearm are unspectacular in any case.

Even my shoulders are unbalanced. The top is great, but when I let my arms rest they don't look as wide or thick as I want them to be.

What could I be doing wrong, and how can I do better?
PS. Is it possible to get a stronger grip using dumbbells?

did you like
Mighty Mouse or Under Dog better? Why?

Quick Draw McGraw or Yosemite Sam better? Why?

Minimum Wage Life
Most people believe that poor people don’t work and they live in welfare. Well that might not be true. People who earn minimum wage are just surviving to make ends meet. These days their day's pay check can go to fill up there tank of gasoline. The minimum wage should be raised at least to .75 an hour. There is a lot of evidence why it should change.
There's always a debate on how much the minimum wage should increased. The federal minimum wage increased to .55 an hour on July 2008 (Wage and Hour Division). The inflation-adjusted value of the minimum wage has fallen to a fifty-year low( Bernstein and Shapiro). Many members of Congress say that this means low-income worker’s wages have failed to keep up and that Congress needs to raise the minimum wage (“Democrats Fight” ). The members of congress increased the wages by ,000 in nine pay raises (Increasing minimum pay won’t cost jobs). If people work hard they should be able to build a better life for their families. If congress can get a rise, we should be able to give a raise to working families (Democrats Fight). Why should elected officials only care about themselves, and not care about the working poor.
It's not the case that the minimum wage jobs are the first rank on a career ladder that soon leads to higher paying jobs. Most minimum wage jobs will always pay the same, therefore someone will not be able to advance in life. Senator Kennedy implies that hundreds of thousands of low-income American workers have gone nine years without a raise (30 Days ) .
One of the reasons the minimum wage should increase is because the cost of living is increasing. Someone who works full time and earns minimum wage will earn 48 a month. A studio apartment in Washington D.C cost 0 dollars a month (rent.com). A person earning minimum wage will only have 8 dollars left before taxes to pay for food, gas, power, and others things they might need. The cost of living had gone up by over 34 percent (Center for American Progress), But the minimum wage went up only 22 percent since 1997. People of the United States should support raising the federal minimum wage because observed evidence proves that it does not lead to job loss. (Sweeny)
What do real people that earn minimum wage say about it? My friend Gloria said “I worked at Popeye’s. I earned .60 an hour I can barely get by making that”. She lives in a small bedroom and barely makes the rent “It used to be worse. I used to work at Burger King and earned .75. I need to feed six children. In fact my oldest one drop out of school when he was sixteen just to help out”. (Ortega). Beth Schuler in her book The Betrayal of Work, talks about Cynthia. Cynthia works in a nursing home where she needs to turn the residents every two hours, because if she doesn’t they might get a bedsores. She must also wash the wheelchairs, clean up the dining room and mop the floors and scrub the refrigerators, closets, and drawers doing her shift is hard work, she not lazy. Cynthia makes .37 an hour after taxes while she works as a nursing assistant at a nursing home in Alabama. (Schuler 3). She is a single mom and needs to pay rent which is only 0 but it takes her two weeks to pay for it, the other two weeks she must pay for water and the electric bills. It's very hard to feed her children and she is still paying for some bicycles she brought for her children in Christmas is now June. They’re hard workers they work like everyone else. People might think there lazy but is not very easy for some people to find a job that pays a lot more then minimum wage.
People also think that low wage workers are teenagers or high school drop outs. But that is not true(Schuler 90). Some people had a bad life and something might have happened to them so they cannot get a better job. They can’t make ends meet with making minimum wage. They need to work in additional jobs just to get by, “It effects e veryone even educated white people are just getting by which minimum wage,” declares Morgan Spurlock, (Thirty days television show). Even the working poor making just above minimum wage are just getting by. People might think workers working minimum wage are high school dropouts. However that is not true, as over fourty percent of workers earning minimum wage have high school diplomas. (Katel) Around Thirty-eight percent of workers earning minimum wages have some post secondary education. (Katel) Even five percent of those people have college degrees. (Katel)That proves that not everyone working on a minimum wage job is lazy or dumb.
Some states don’t even have a minimum wage laws. Other states have minimum wage laws that are lower than the federal minimum wage law. Many states have made their own minimum wage laws. (

Personally my favorite is Otter, who is your favorite character and why? A few of them are Otter, Bluto, Boon, Flounder, Larry, Hoov, and D-Day, but pick any character, just naming a few in case you forgot.

When I was little my dad showed me popeye cartoons and I really liked them a lot but then now my husband pointed out to me that he has a tattoo and that he doesn't want our little one watching it because it could influence him and make him want a tattoo. I had never thought of that before I mean but then again I was a girl so I didn't want to be like popeye but I think little boys would want to be so I understand where my husband is coming from.

Anyone notice that in many cartoons you can actually understand swear words in the muttering etc.

The only cartoon I can think of is Popeye, but there are quite a few that will have a few swear words in it. But Popeye has at least one swear word in just about every toon written for him.

Between him and Brutus I am sure Sweet Pee will turn out pretty raunchy.
In the 443.5 hours of children's programming analyzed by the PTC,
they found

858 incidents of verbal aggression (e.g. abusive yelling, mean-spirited insults and put-downs)

250 incidents of offensive language (such as excretory references or euphemisms for obscene language)

595 incidents of disruptive, disrespectful or otherwise problematic attitudes and behaviors

275 incidents of sexual content

so please don't tell me there are none.

Candy Cigarretes:
I’m not going to get into the stupid “candy cigarettes encourage kids to smoke,” argument, because it’s utter nonsense. If anything, all it teaches kids is to settle for ass crack quality candy. These sticks come in a variety of boxes, but for some reason the most common ones around Halloween come in a Popeye box. A cartoon character that hasn’t been relevant for decades, used to promote a wretched candy. That is one hell of a recipe for success. Another problem with candy cigarettes is that they stole the glory from the better faux cigarette, cigarette gum. They had the paper wrapper, and when you blew through them, a puff of “smoke” would come out. They were amazing.
Necco Wafers:
These are known the world over as being disgusting.
I do recommend keeping a small pack in your pocket. That way, when you are eating a good type of candy, such as a stick of Chewy Spree, and someone asks you for a piece, just slip a Necco Wafer out of your pocket & give it!

Hello Dear Friends,

A very close family friend of my neighbor's boss has a daughter whose University roomate has an older sister who is with child. She is considering the traditional Irish name Peanus.

It's a lovely name to be sure, but I like more modern names such as for example Bluto or Shag.

What do you think?

Thank-you, and God Bless!

What has become of him, fighting onstage at the Fox Awards? He used to be such a cute kid playing bass for Partridge family, Now, he is one tough dude who talks like Bluto from Popeye... Don't you think he will get into lots of trouble beating people up all the time?
Danny is divorced because he had no business getting married to someone he barely knew at he time. I don't hold that against him at all. We all make mistakes. I just wonder why he became such a thug, when he started out as such a cute Rock star.

okay i'm 16 5'4 and weight 150 and getting smaller. i used to lift weights alot until my arms looked like popeye and suddenly i stopped lifting weights. I then started to run and now am 40 pounds lighter than i was before. some of the weight was muscle cause know my arms look horrible and i can't flex a muscle to save my life. but know my stomach hangs over my jeans then they did before. is that because of the extra skin ( which i do have)? all i have to do know is sit and it pokes out of my sides and really aggrativing. Now i know what everyone is going to say diet and excerise... but i've been doing that and it's getting worse as the pounds come off. So any suggestions or workouts i should do. Plus i've lost about 40 pounds in 4 1/2 months and I'm keeping it off. and thinking about tummy tucking since i can lift my whole stomach!

I'm Indonesian. When watching cartoon movies such as POPEYE, Casper, etc, baby always send by pelicans. Why? Can someone explain? Is that a myth? Thx b4.

Thx 4 answering. Cuz in South East Asia (indonesia). There is no story like that.So it's Stork. I thought it was Pelican. LOL..

i'm going to a fancy dress for halloween. My friends and are are wondering whether we have to stick with the "halloween" theme...or can we go as other stuff? (like superheroes or cartoon characters)

How come no one talks about them anymore? They don't even make ads with classic Hollywood characters anymore-the only classic Hollywood cartoons they show on TV are Pink Panther, Popeye and Tom and Jerry. They don't even air Looney Tunes anymore, and Disney doesn't even air classic Disney shorts like they used to. Is it because the major studios released most of the classic toons on DVD?
