Did you watch Popeye as a child?

They usually have a bit more meat to them than Word Association Games, because you have to make a reasonable continuation of what went before, unlike the WAGs which often share only a single letter or remote connection with their preceding entries.

And a lot more fun, plus there is nothing better than tapping into the creative side of the brain to prepare us for a chess move, or an 'Angry Bird' session.

Four years had passed since the birth of Sweetpea and Wimpy, now Superintedent Wimpy was passing by Popeye & Olive's home, such as it was, and decided to pop in to say hi. Olive answered the door on the second knock and stood there holding another youngster on her what was now an "ample" hip while Sweetpea cried, "But momma you said I could go with daddy this time."

Of course He could not go with daddy this, or any other time, daddy was on a top secret mission for the U.S Navy all Olive knew was that daddy was somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere.

Sweetpea said, " Hello Mr. Wimpy please come in. Momma can you get Mr. Wimpy and Ice Tea, we'll take it in the parlour thanks...oh and don't forget the Digestive too." Olive looked and Wimpy with a quizzical look on her face as if to say, "Whoa! where'd that come from?"

Noone bothers any more to make a good coffee (in public places).
Water springs, tea ritual, good honey, good coffee - it's for the rich.
Plebeians are doomed to drink lousy bottled expensive water, bad coffee etc.

Mr Wimpy twirled His moustache nervously and cleared His throat as He avoided Olives gaze, eventually managing an unconvincing comment about "kids growing up so fast these days".

Sweetpea looked at Wimpy's upperlip growth and asked, "Is that real?" Wimpy laughed and said, "Why yes Sweetpea it is. Why do you ask?" "Cuz it's slipping off on the right side. Who are you really? Mum Wimpy isn't who he says he is." Fortunately for "Wimpy" Olive didn't hear what Sweetpea was saying because the tea kettle was whistling so loudly it drowned out his words.
