Round 1 Match 19

Sailors vs. Dinosaurs!
Popeye: The feisty and crusty seaman who protects the little guy while eating leafy greens. Very cool. Also cool because he allowed me to type the phrase "crusty seaman".
Barney: The gentle giant who preaches helping, sharing, and cleaning up your toys. Before I had kids, Barney was a joke. Now, Barney is very, very, cool.
Criteria: Barney brings Popeye into the playground to teach the kids about good nutrition. Popeye wants to teach that little blond kid how to throw a good haymaker, and starts carving pipes for them. Discuss.


Comments:
OK. The most reviled purple evil against the whimsical mumbler with giant calf-sized fore-arms? Nay, I say, this battle is won even before it begins!

Who else LOVED (strangely) the movie version of Popeye. I'm not ashamed to say I did love it. And I'm glad it got some recognition in another film some folks tend to love or hate -- "Punch Drunk Love".

I'm all over this contest.
 
It's funny. Two years ago, before the birth of my son, I'd have agreed with barrie.

Now I find that loveable, singing dinosaur a refreshing treat, so my vote goes to he.

Plus, his grammar is much better than that sailor's.
 
I love spinach. I blame Popeye.

Barney annoys the crap out of me.

Therefore Popeye takes the win.
 
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a vote for Popeye today.

Barney is a child molestor.
 
Tough choice...

Next on America's Next Top Model

A sailor who is a little unproportioned and smells of spinach or a large purple dinasour.

However I think that Barney has the ability to brainwash people. " I love you, You love me....." So after carefully taking over the Tara's brain, he uses her to persuade the other judges that he does infact look like ... Harrison Ford. He wins this week's competition.
 
Tara... Tira... Tyra...

How do you spell her ^*%&^*& name!!!
 
The little boys are split...

G like Popeye, cause he is tough and fight bears.

J votes for Barney cause he has a good imagination.
 
Is it too late for me to register - uh - not so much a vote for Popeye (although I also liked the Popeye movie at the time and also Punch Drunk Love), but against Barney?

Barney may be well loved by kids, but he'll get no love from me: The kids on his show seem lobotomized and show only saccharine smiles, and his songs tend to be perversions of classic children's songs. Extinction for this dinosaur!
