: 結果聊到阿肥小時候都是看大力水手卜派，
: 結果每個人都給我一副「你在工三小」的臉。

曾經在荷蘭唸書的本魯，經過美好的年代來替大家科普一下。
大力水手為什麼一大包而且很大粒大家知道嗎？

大家都知道卡通英雄大粒水手卜派，伊真正派，常常被老鬼布魯托威脅，只要吃了「菠菜
」就會變肌肌強大的男人並且屌打對手。
但菠菜真的是菜園那種嗎？
Slang for cannabis
1929年當一大粒水手被美國卡通畫家Elize Segar創造出來時，「菠菜」被用做大麻的俗
稱。在一些歌曲中還有痕跡，如”菠菜之歌”由爵士經典樂團”茱麗雅李和男伴們”他們
在坎蕯斯市爵士樂餐廳中，無時無刻都飄著大麻菸，他們就用「菠菜」做為大麻的代稱。
特別是大家有留意到卜派是用煙斗吃「菠菜」的嗎？不覺得ㄎㄧㄤˉ嗎？
1930年反大麻的遊說團體宣稱抽大麻會使你刀槍不入而且有超自然的力量。如大粒水手卜
派五告派常常唱「挖五告派因為我吃菠菜」
做為水手，他對異國的草絕對是相當熟悉且熱衷的。事實上美國水手是首批將抽大麻習慣
帶入美國的族群。另一個顯著的例子，1960年卜派影片中，他的狗叫「鳥飼料」傳統上，
大麻籽一開始確實是用做鳥飼料。
至於我在荷蘭脫光走進hostel女宿就是另一個故事了，哈們。
Everyone knows the cartoon hero Popeye, who always lands in difficulties and j
ust as he threatens to lose from the bearded sea-dog Bluto, eats a tin of spin
ach. He then becomes super strong and defeats every opponent. But do Popeye an
d Olive really obtain the green stuff at the greengrocers?
When Popeye was created in 1929 by the American cartoonist Elzie Segar (1894-1
938), spinach was slang for cannabis. It can be heard, for example, in that se
ntence in the number “The Spinach Song (I Didn’t Like It The First Time)” b
y the jazz band Julia Lee and Her Boyfriends, who also had a hit with “Lotus
Blossom (Sweet Marijuana)”. They performed in jazz clubs in Kansas City where
a cloud of weed smoke hung every evening and used spinach as a metaphor for m
arihuana. It makes you think about the spinach eating sailor Popeye, especiall
y as he used to eat his greens through his pipe. Which is rather strange for s
pinach that comes out of a tin.
Anti-cannabis lobbyists in the 1930s stated that cannabis made you immune to b
ullets and gave you other supernatural powers just like Popeye used to sing “
I’m strong to the finish ‘cause I eat me spinach”. As a sailor, Popeye was
of course, familiar with exotic herbs and plants. American sailors were the fi
rst to smoke cannabis in the United States. There is another cannabis referenc
e with regard to Popeye: in the 1960s, Popeye’s dog was called Birdseed and i
n those days hemp seed was used as birdseed.
