Wow, an eight-year-old thread.

My Dad, a Navy lifer (Chief Radioman), sang even worse than I do, but I learned this from him:

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man,
I live in a garbage can.
I eat my spinach right out of the can,
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man,
I hug all the girls I can;
I like to go swimmin' with bowlegged women,
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.


and about a gazillion more verses.

Me, I don't understand why anyone would eat spinach at all. But Wade puts it in soup, if I recall, and I guess he must eat the stuff too.

Mushrooms, on the other hand, yum. But avoid Amanita phalloides (the death cap) and Amanita virosa (destroying angel). But Amanita rubescens (the blusher) is said to be safe when cooked, and quite delicious. Thanks, I'll pass -- identification is too difficult. I'll enjoy the ones from the grocery store.
