Popeye was partially funded by a spinach company, amongst others. I highly doubt that it was really a reference to marijuana given that.

Yah but even so Eragon's probably a druggie. Maybe he'll die because he has so few brain cells already and the marijuana will kill the rest off.

If you watch the original Popeye's you'll find it's very racist. He says a lot of bad things about black people. Some of it's pretty bad.

I didn't know Hera had those...

Hey do you think she'd be interested in the site? I mean Bartimaeus isn't nessicarily her thing, but at least she'd read my Night book review.

She hasn't even read the books, there's no point in her joing to respond once a review. Besides, you can show it to her and talk to her in person.

It's 1920. Tintin was racist.

I wonder what people would have thought of you Arti in 1920? Probably would have shipped you off to the Asylum.

With the flappers coming soon? Yeah right. Women were going "nuts" enough as it was. They wouldn't notice me... Except for maybe the lipstick.

Well, Picasso would still be alive. You can be a masterpiece of Mordenist art. Minus the clothing, of course.

Very funny. (I was being sarcastic, in case you couldn't tell.)

Are you referring to the black, the fishnets, the jewlery, the hair stuff, or the legwarmers, Athy?

Or all of them?
