What the hell happened to Popeye?

[JesusAndYourBush]

Around our way over that last decade there's been various ice cream vans: I'm Popeye The Sailor Man, Just One Cornetto, Match Of The Day Theme and most recently, Oh Oh Antonio.

I heard one of them (Popeye I think) only last week.  ("It's the Covid Man" were my thoughts at the time.)

[SavageHedgehog]

My van plays Anchors Away, presumably for all those kids out there with Gene n' Jerry fever.

My local ice-cream van plays the coda to the Jim'll Fix It theme tune.

And then performs a drive-by shooting?

Is he the only kids cartoon character to have visible tattoos?

When I visited my cousin a while back, her kid was watching a Disney animated film set in the Pacific islands that had a character, voiced by Dwayne Johnson, with plenty of tattoos.

Snake from the Simpsons too, I guess, though that's not really "just" a cartoon for children. 

[SavageHedgehog]

Crash Bandicoot had tats for a while, but I guess he must have got them removed.

the Jim'll Fix It theme tune.

I bet the chorus is now sung sarcastically in the future tense by gangsters making veiled threats.

Future perfect, I'd hope.

Popeye:  I will have been what I will have been

[dr_christian_troy]

If Popeye was made into a CGI film with a massive budget and very little fucking return in the box office:

- who should voice him?
- who would voice him?

Should: I dunno, someone like Billy West
Would: Probably Matthew McConaughey or some bollocks

I think it's jolly nice of RFV to give an example of the Future Perfect for all the boys and girls of CaB out there who are also thick cunts when it comes to grammar.

It was more an attempt to render "I am what I am" in future perfect to see whether it would be funny.

It's always an attempt to be funny and always just pisses people off instead.

When I joined CaB, after a few months everyone was telling me I was ruining General Bullshit.  Recently I was told in a CaB zoom meet that my posts in HS Art were making that subforum worse, so guess what - I've stopped starting new threads there.

I use CaB as my therapy; I purge myself of loads of my stupidest thoughts here and consequently I post loads of shit stuff, but the polite reminders that I ruin a great thing always counteract the therapeutic value of trying to be myself, relax and just find equilibrium amongst like-minded people.  I'm always reminded that there are standards and relaxing is inappropriate.


This isn't meant to be an announcement or anything, but I'm in a weak place at the moment and will probably be taking a break from CaB for a while as, if I am being responsible and sensitive to what others are wanting from CaB, I know this can't be my therapy.

Sorry to hear you're having a difficult time. I'm happy for you to keep posting, I find you a reassuring presence on here. I figured some of your posts were a way of emptying your head of stuff, but isn't that why everyone posts? It's not like any of us have got essential stuff to say, we post it rather than keep it in our heads because... well, we want to, don't we? I'm not sure it matters why we want to (unless it's to make other people unhappy)

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Your attempts to be funny are generally successful, and I, personally, am a big fan of your posts on H S Art, which actually demonstrate a higher calibre of enjoyable daftness for that place than is necessary. I wouldn't say you " post loads of shit stuff".

I'm sorry to hear that you're in a weak place at the moment, and I hope you get out of that weak place as soon as possible. If part of doing so means taking a break from 'ere, then so be it, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one who would miss your presence. Also, don't take the post I done made what you quoted  to heart, there was no malice in it at all. Think I might give up making those sort of posts, it always bothers me when folk take them the wrong way.

We used to have an ice cream van round are way that played " The Liberty Bell" ( The famous Monty Python theme), y'know.

One of the Smurfs had a tatt.

'There are standards' on CaB? News to me. Does that include LJAMC noting a month or two back that the mother of a murdered child had allowed herself to age and become unfuckable? Is that the sort of 'standard' we should aspire to? You have a break if you want to, Replies, but don't imagine there are some sort of standards that you've breached. Anything goes here, back-seat moderation is looked down on, so it really is somewhere where you can post what you like without being 'responsible and sensitive to what others are wanting from CaB.'

Bloody hell, glad I never bothered looking in on any of them.  How rude!

"Hi guys, I'm on the forum as non ca.."
"YOUR POSTS ARE SHIT!!!"
*logs out*

[Janie Jones]

Ha RFV's comment about the zoom chats made me feel uncomfortable too. I've always found them lovely and welcoming- and my posts ARE shit.

I dare say the boys and girls of CaB put their comments of mild rebuke to Reppo in a more diplomatic way, in the spirit of constructive criticism, but it does amuse me that he was being told that his posts were diluting the standards of the repository of downright inanity and puerility that is H S Art. Reminds me of the critical posts in the " Phwooar!" Thread. " No, you're objectifying women all wrong! Can you please say " look at the tits on this 'un, lads!" in a less objectionable manner?"

Thanks for the kind words everyone.  Sorry to have derailed the thread a bit.  Please don't continue the discussion here; I just wanted to post again to ask for nobody to think this is a response to one particular thing or to feel bad about it.  It's been cumulative, it's a weird time generally and I need a break.

[bgmnts]

There is a thread in H.S Art dedicated to people you want to fuck. That's the standard.


Keep up the shitposting RFV!

Really love reading your posts, they always make me laugh a lot, hope you feel better soon.

Whoever said that was talking utter bollocks. I enjoy your posts in HS Art. You started the Puff Siadin thread for christs sake. Hope you feel better and resume when you want to.

[JesusAndYourBush]

Well, I got it.

So did I, although I was puzzled because I can't recall hearing Popeye say it.  Gloria Gaynor on the other hand...
