Adventureland in Altoona has a nice Popeye.  I played a few games this summer.

Uh oh, I'm feel some thread Déjà vu coming on...

That's a common misconception because of the movie.

I have not met the guy in person myself, but I have been told by those who have that he's actually a really nice guy.  In the movie he just played the persona of a ---meecrob---.
I'm sure Weibe can pull of the same thing, it's all just a big act to give the movie a point.

Gordon has claimed to have painted Billy Mitchell as a lighter character than his real life persona[22] concerning the movie. Gordon also claims that Billy Mitchell is "so much worse than we painted him out to be", but he chose to only include scenes that were necessary to tell the story, because the movie would have been "darker" had he not played with the facts.[22]

Not saying he's an outright ass, but as that article says: Stories have a hero and a villain, and Billy just happens to match the latter perfectly.

So randomly I decided to watch the king of kong again with my room mate.  He didnt think he would enjoy it but he did.  After the movie we went online to check the new high score since I know its changed hands a few times, only to see that Steve beat is on top again( :notworthy:) and it happened only 2 days ago!  We got a pretty good kick outta that. :laugh2:
