    I don't remember being called Bluto. Must have been the cannabis.

    It was a bit of a stretch for a cheap chuckle, to be truthful.

    I liked to watch the 'Popeye' cartoons as a kid, and I remember that the name of the 'villain' just changed from 'Bluto' to 'Brutus' at some point.

    So apparently this is what happened -

    " After the theatrical Popeye cartoon series ceased production in 1957, Bluto's name was changed to Brutus because it was incorrectly believed that Paramount Pictures, distributors of the Fleischer Studios (later Famous Studios) cartoons, owned the rights to the name 'Bluto'. "

    In England that term has a somewhat different usage than North America, and for that reason I'll let it go.........this time.

    Alright, I have to ask. What term are talking about?

    I'm sure you've been around long enough that any such clarification is unnecessary.

    Folks, I honestly don't get what all the fuss is about here. Why is it so different than like somebody saying, 'That guy's a prick.' ? You hear it all the time.

    Regardless, I'm going to be infrequent here for a while, off and on - age things happening, but nothing that time can't heal. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    As the old saying goes - "you have to burn money to justify raising taxes", then pocket it.
