Frank 'Rocky' Fiegel, was born in Poland on January 27, 1868. He emigrated with his family to America where in 1887 he joined the Navy.
When Popeye's creator met him, he was a retired sailor contracted by Wiebusch’s tavern in the city of Chester, Illinois, to clean and maintain order. He had a reputation for being always involved in fighting, so he had a deformed eye (“Pop-eye”). He had demonstrated his strength in so many fights that he became a local legend. He always smoked his pipe, so he spoke only with one side of his mouth.
While in the company of children, he clutched the pipe with the edge of his mouth, recounting tales from his youth and frequently bragging about his physical prowess. He emphatically declared that spinach was the key to his invincibility.
Popeye's character creator Elzie Crisler Segar was born in Chester and was one of the children who had the privilege of hearing 'live' the stories of the former sailor.

I've come to accept that my last hope for a smoking hot body is cremation.
That may be the sum of it for most of us…lol

It'd be like trying to pull a cold grilled cheese sandwich apart.....
There are cookies in front of her so yes
Baking is way harder than cooking
But can she bake a cherry pie?

I don't think it's harder, just easier to screw up quickly.
I think it's moot unless I'm prepared to live on cookies.
Certainly more precise.
