SPINACH SMASH!

This is a poem I had to write last year for my English Class... I wanted opinions on it.

Where I'm From

I am from herbs,
from lavender and rosemary.
I am from the shells lying in the sand.
(Intricate, delicate
shining in the ocean spray.)
I am from the Lady Fern,
the Coastal Redwood
whose majestic limbs reach into the sun
taking the heavens in their grasp.

I'm from ice cream and lemonade,
from mint chip and cookie dough.
I'm from the arched neck,
and the rippling muscles,
from powerful hooves pummeling the earth.
I'm from the lives that were saved
with an accurate diagnosis
and the veterinary career I once strived for.

I'm from Popeye and Olive Oil,
spinach and salads.
From the tender loving care
given to me
the warm embraces saved 'til the end.
Within a strong mind
well-known faces flicker by,
images fresh and clear
hidden memories appearing within dreams.
I am from those moments,
Growing young and strong,
Taking on the challenges of life.
~Dec. I do enjoy food enough that it keeps me going. XD Some listed, was just my favorite foods, the other was going off of 'popeye' as he ate spinach and stuff... 'popeye' is also my grandfather's nickname, so there's double meanings. Writing and poetry are what I consider to be my one true talent. Thank you. ^^

i was told if i eat spinach i would become big and strong so i did for 6 months but the only muscles that have grown are my forearms. now i look like popeye.
also my voice is getting croaky

Olive Oyl is feeling spunky but I have no strength. . where can I get some good spinach?

Where Olive's goldfish escapes into the ocean and Popeye goes after it. The goldfish finds enjoyment in the deep sea and tries to swim away from popeye. Then a jellyfish traps popeye and then he eats spinach and pounds the jellyfish into malts.
Then when popeye returns the fish to its bowl, the fish cries and misses the ocean. So Olive throws the fish back in the water and then popeye throws olive in too and states he can't figure out women.

I'm one tough Gazookus
Which hates all Palookas
Wot ain't on the up and square.
I biffs 'em and buffs 'em
And always out roughs 'em
But none of 'em gets nowhere.

If anyone dares to risk my "Fisk",
It's "Boff" an' it's "Wham" un'erstan'?
So keep "Good Be-hav-or"
That's your one life saver
With Popeye the Sailor Man.

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man,
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm strong to the finich
Cause I eats me spinach.
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.

In the episode "Never kick a woman" Popeye teaches olive how to box and some sexy female boxer flirts with Popeye. This makes Olive jealous. So she challenges this boxer babe and loses. Then the babe flirts with popeye some more and Olive eats Popeye's spinach and catfights the boxing bombshell. After she KOs the babe, she beats up Popeye.
Now my question is, if you were in Popeye's shoes, would you leave flat, stringbean Olive for a busty & curvy boxer babe?
I would. I love women with sexy legs.

Does Spinach Build Better Muscle Than Pork? Is That The reason Popeye eats it? Whoever tells me the best interesting facts, while answering my question gets 10 points.

I mean it does make people sick and Popeye sure makes squinty-eyes at Bluto a lot…and I am not sure but Olive Oyl may be a drag queen.

So what is god’s stance on bagged spinach?

Many suspicious, doubters, and haters probably didn't like to hear the truth but it is.

According to Dan Rafael of ESPN, Manny is willing to be tested anytime except for a day or two days before the fight and also be tested immediately after the fight. This should actually clear any suspicion.

Now use our common sense, can steroids or any hormones have any Popeye-spinach effect on man? The answer is no. Olympics try to catch users during training because it's actually the time users benefit from it.

Let me discuss things that you probably won't hear in the media:
Half-life of Drugs
Time length of detectability

Steroids can make you strong for a long time and it can be easily detected through urine, so I'm just gonna talk about the hormones that were accused to Pacquiao.

The half-life of HGH is 2 hours so the natural human growth hormones would be suppressed for 4 hours. If a boxer will use HGH during training, it will stimulate muscle and bone growth. Can it be use two days before the fight? HGH can be detected for about 48-72 hours after administration, so if somebody did a blood test to you after the fight, you will get caught.

It's impossible for Pacquiao to use HGH if he's gonna get tested immediately after the fight. Now, USADA is talking about EPO, they are pointing out that this drug is used during training and random blood testing is necessary which is true. But that's not the only truth to it, blood test only makes the suspicion of EPO and then urine test will confirm. (Google it if you want, even look at the WORLD Anti Doping agency website).

EPO or erythropoietin. They actually explained EPO but to make it short, EPO stimulates RBCs, increases hematocrit (>50% hct), hemoglobin, and then of course oxygen. Like they said, this drug is usually used during training, so during training you have extra oxygen to train and then in the day of the fight, the boxer will have more stamina that is advantageous in the later rounds. More RBCs means more oxygen to the muscles and of course, faster wound healing.
But did you know EPO can be easily detected through urine without blood test in the first 48 hours? It's foolish to use this 48 hours before the fight because it will show in your urine.

I got curious because I noticed that they weren't talking about everything we should know. Google WADA, half-life, and time length of detectability of drugs so you would know who's telling the truth. Read articles

It's impossible USADA didn't know this. Agencies even knows that blood tests before the competition can greatly have a psychological impact.

“That amount would be less than one-half of one percent [of the total blood in the body],” Conte said. “It’s not going to have any effect, the drawing of blood. Could it have some mental effect? It possibly could and that’s what Asafa Powell did complain about in Beijing. And now we have this complaint from the Pacquiao side.

“That’s the only down side of that. It’s certainly not going to have any physical effect, giving blood before a fight.”

Sports is 80% mental. Mayweather knows this. Pacquiao feels it.

Sorry I had to write all of these, just use our common sense. Can any drugs be beneficial two days before the fight? No. It's one of the reasons athletes rarely get caught because no one uses it near the competition.
Is there such things as Senzu beans or Popeye-spinach? You're crazy to say yes.

besides squishing it out of a can. he eats spinach in just about every thing pies sandwiches etc...
he can lift heavy objects kick major @ss and thinks faster on his toes.

while WIMPY on the other hand is a burger munching weakling.
who seems unaware of the world crashing in around him if a "hamburger" is at hand
but also cowers at the first sign of danger. and the most gullible in the gang he's often the first one to fall for a trap.

the only reason BRUITS can keep up with him is probably due to an olive rich diet.
and his Greek bloodline with more than three thousand years of deceptive thinking embedded into his genetic make up.

what do you think.

Spinach does not really explain why your forearms would be freakishly huge. Nor does just being strong... I mean, usually someone's biceps are what is bulked up in strong men... maybe the illustrator was just high on "spinach" or something... who knows...

fI I were him I would have let Bluto have all of that! I think Wimpy could have her if he wanted. I just don't see it. There's not enough Spinach in the world for me to want her! Talk to me!

I have noticed that there is STILL no spinach in the store. Has it come back to your local stores yet? and yes poor popeye wants some spinach.

Is spinach an inferior or a normal good? What happens to Popeye's demand curve for spinach?

Do u like spinach, yukk I hate it!

I know that this is a rediculous question to ask but just to stop arguing with my dad i decided to seek for help..

popeye loves spinach...
jughead and wimpy loves burger...
pooh crave for honey...

my dad keep on saying that there is certain character who eat nothing but SESAME SEEDS...gosh!!!
i dont remember any character eats that!!!
please help...

laugh all you want at my question but i really need the truth...

Spinach does not grow in cans somewhere along the way it was in the fields. Who knows for sure that none of that stuff hit the can. Poor Olive Oil will have to do with out getting any. Will You help??

Yes, he is vulgar and sexist, ["Oh Popeye, help!" Olive Oyl]. And always fighting with Blutto. Even his English is quite awful with "me eat me spinich " instead of "I eat my spinach". I grew up watching his adventures as a kid. I'll give him a small credit: you don't mess around with him. And ready to defend the most unfortunate, not those in power. "I yam wat I yam". I can see that. Feedback, please.

Should men eat spinach ? (this is all in fun )

Steve D-there is always a heckler in an audience
I like Teeleecee's answer

Was Sweet Pea fathered by Popeye or Bluto, or Brutus, or heaven forbidz, some unamed character? And isn't Bluto and Brutus the same guy? Was spinach the steroids of that era? Or was it more like viagra? I wonderz.

I recall seeing Popeye sniff garlic when he didn't have spinach to eat. Does anyone recall seeing this in the old popeye cartoons?

I heard bits and pieces about the famous "Popeye" cartoon being based on a time when America was fighting with another country over olive oil, and the only we could defend ourselves is if we stacked up our money and bought whatever we needed to defend ourselves. In the cartoon, Popeye (America) was at a constant tug of war with Bluto (the other country) in order to win over the heart of Olive Oyl. He defended himself by eating a can of spinach and gaining strength (power).

I have absolutely no idea if this story is true. But i've heard it more than once. I forgot the name of the "other country" by the way. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

What I am saying is why spinach? why not carrot, or tomato?
Also, why he is a sailor? Is Bluto also a sailor? There is a girl in the cartoon as well. I forgot her name, Is she also a sailor?The story about them seldom occurs in a ship, am I right? Why not cowboy? I simply can't understand.

Now that all the spinach is bad how will Popeye keep his strength. Rumors have it that he cut off Olive Oil to keep his strength. Is it true??
