I got it but I think I need to recuse myself… yeah, I know that’s the wrong word but I like it😁
Anyway, the reason is that I’m pretty sure I saw that early picture recently, for some reason. It may even have been a different picture but she looked the same.
Without that I’m not sure I would have recognized her.
Later I’ll post a spoiler with her name for those of you it bothers not to know….
Which reminds me… @P51Strega…. You asked, just the other night, for someone to tell you who it was in the celebrity picture, so I did it, not much later.
But I’m not sure you ever came back to see… and now I can’t remember the date.
From an official Coat Guard website, a bit edited by me:
“His real name was Frank “Rocky” Fiegel.
He was born in 1868, in Poland and, as a child, immigrated to the United States with his parents, to a small town in Illinois.
As a young man, he went to sea.
After a 20-year career in the Merchant Marines, he retired.
He was later hired by Wiebusch’s Tavern in Chester, Illinois as a bouncer.
…
Rocky quickly developed a reputation for always fighting (and usually winning). As a result, he had a deformed eye (“Pop-eye”).
He also ‘always’ smoked his pipe, so he always spoke out of one side of his mouth.
As a bouncer, Rocky would entertain the customers with stories of adventures he claimed to have had over the ‘Seven Seas.’
The creator of Popeye, Elzie Crisler Segar, grew up in Chester, and, as a young man, met Rocky at the tavern and listened to his amazing ‘sea stories.’
Years later, Segar became a cartoonist and developed a comic strip called ‘Thimble Theater.’
He honored Fiegel by asking if he could model his new comic strip character, ‘Popeye the Sailor Man,’ after him. Naturally Fiegel was flattered and agreed.
Segar claimed that ‘Olive Oyl’ was also loosely based on an actual person, Dora Paskel, owner of a grocery store in Chester.
She apparently actually looked much like the Olive Oyl character in his comics.
Through the years, Segar kept in touch with Rocky and always helped him with a small percentage of what he earned from ‘Popeye’.
…
One reason this was on a coast guard website is that before WWII, Popeye was portrayed as being in the Coast Guard
I have looked and looked and looked, but all the sites that allow one to read the comic go from issue No. 18 to issue No. 20.
“Nellie the Nurse” was quite racy for its time.
In re: Footloose
I’m curious to know if Kevin Bacon did any of his own dancing and/or stunts. He was young enough at the time, but there are some very athletic moves in there.
Happy Birthday Bambushie.
Got here early, nobody had posted, so I thought,”Maybe I’m a day early.” Nope. Here’s one of my favorites. The inside says, “Heck, I don’t think they even carry the parts!” I love Leanin’ Tree cards, except that my little sister sent this to me, and it’s too true!
I have to post the cake, cos I don’t know when Bambushie will be here but Happy³ needs emergency chocolate.
The candles are the special kind from XTI on Ballard Street that relight with no damage… and we can cut pieces from the back so it still looks good from the front.
Happy birthday 🎶, Bambushie, happy birthday to yooo o🎶!
In case you wonder how some people get birthday parties, and advance notice of other people’s parties…
I keep a birthday list.
I send one email notice/invitation for each birthday party to everybody on the list, which is currently about 20 people, unless I need to send another as a correction, or sadly, I forget a birthday. I try not to… I just can’t promise!
We have about 12 or 15 a year.
The invitations are BCC’d, which means nobody but me sees them, unless you ask to be in the CC’s, which displays your address on top to other Cleo fans.
I only share addresses otherwise with Nighthawks and StelBel, occasionally, if they ask, but they go nowhere else unless at your request.
I have written to a few people if, say, we don’t see them for a while, and a few of us correspond a little more often, though I’m not the best at keeping up.
I don’t send spam or jokes, or sell your information.
….
To get your own birthday party, you have to post on Cleo, not every day, unless you want to, but be somewhat of a regular.
You also have to be on the birthday list, and mostly show up to say happy birthday to the others.
It’s not fair to give a party to anyone who doesn’t want to do that.
I can’t promise it will happen immediately, especially if your birthday is very soon, but we’ll do our best to work you in.
….
To get on the list, email me… my address is my user name here at Gmail dot com.
PLEASE put your user name here on Cleo in the subject line so I can easily search for your email later, in case I failed to write something down or made a mistake. I honestly can’t immediately remember everybody’s other names.

Soft serve?
The booths at my country fair were selling regular ice cream, except for one that had those frozen dots.
Might be easier to transport than heavy soft serve machines… or at least, I didn’t notice any of those.
I didn’t look that hard, though.
Maybe cos I wasn’t about to pay the going rate… 7 or 8 dollars for an ice cream cone!
I wanted to try the mustard flavour soft cone this summer, but I wasn’t paying $13.00 ($9.34 U.S today) for a standard size D.Q. cone either.
,
Probably similar to Filipino diniguan. Pretty tasty.
Or one kind of Korean hangover soup. Same.
Got it right!
Missed again.
I’m going to be disappointed when I recognize a grown celebrity from a childhood/adult picture set; my 100% score will drop.

i will wait, anxiously!
I don’t worry too much about trivia gone by, it was more of a “from now on” request. Thank you.
Just watched her history on finding your roots, it was a repeat, but I usually watch them again, it’s a good program
hey! I just heard it’s your day!
have a happy happy one!
Thank You
Okay …it you still don’t know after looking at the spoiler Nighthawks posted…
Which shows her all grown up…
Be sure you’re through guessing, and really want a reveal, before you open this, because what’s seen….
It’s Julia Roberts.
Is this Bambushie? Happy Birthday, you look fabulous.
WHAT, I don’t think so!

Definitely Bluto. A much better looking and stronger looking adversary for Popeye.
Bluto was the one in the Popeye comics and cartoons from their creation until the 60’s…
So it’s Bluto I grew up with.
Brutus was a name, and slightly altered character, chosen when King Features got the rights to publish Popeye, when I was already adolescent.
They erroneously believed that Paramount/Fleischer still owned the rights to Bluto.
They later found out that he could have kept his original name and appearance all along, but they didn’t want to go back.
So to me, he was Bluto when I was watching Popeye, and will always be Bluto. The name Brutus has no standing.
Did you guys know there was a real Popeye

Now that is interesting.
Thanks.
yay…. polish!!
I saw that someplace.
Yes and no. He did inspire Popeye, but that isn’t his picture.
Was Frank ‘Rocky’ Fiegel the Inspiration for ‘Popeye’? | Snopes.com
Thanks!
Since it was on a coast guard website I thought they’d have checked it out!
Still, seems like a lot of it was true except the wrong picture, and the fact that he wasn’t a sailor…
And that Segar didn’t really tell him or help him.
Sigh…
Buddy has such a stick in the van. He would not let it go so it went in with him. :/
It’s better than him chewing on something else, i guess.

I believe I have found all ten, though confirmation will be needed.

My mind often neglects to tell me when it’s taking a break.
Been there. 🙂
Gosh! I didn’t know I’d be the first one here with this….
But along with solving the puzzle, tonight we want to say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to BAMBUSHIE!
I’ll be along soon with the puzzle solution, and the cake … meanwhile, we have snacks!
And more!
Doggy bags for everyone, enjoy, take
The party goes till your birthday is over…
So there’s enough to feed lots of people for 24 hours!
I’m full! I’m going to explode!!
Oh my, so much
xxx
Appreciated very much
Point me to the most chocolate thing there.
I need some comfort food. 🙂
The cake is a light color because there’s whipped cream in the frosting… but believe me it’s very chocolatey.
Hope that helps.
Also hope Bambushie likes chocolate!
More than i should
never enough CHOCOLATE!!!
Same here. 🙂
What’s the matter?
Just a bit burned out.
I’ve been told that i have a break coming’ so i’m actually feeling a bit better.
Placebo effect? 🙂
Oh yes; been there just recently. Prepare to break down then for a couple of days.
Take care!
Happy Day, Bambushie. Why do I feel ambusheid by this celebration?
I’ll see myself out.
Possibly because you haven’t joined the birthday list, so you don’t get the email invitations?
Not at all, stay and eat, party, party
Happy Birthday Bambushie
Thanks, don’t let those kitties get sick!
3 NOSES!!!
Thank you so much
Hmm, snacks!
See… We’re still eating them! LOL 😆
Happy Birthday Bambushie!
Thank you very much
Very thoughful, glad it’s a nice day out
I’ve got seven tonight. Maybe more in the morning.
I have to disappear for a little while.
I’ll be back with the cake, but before I go I guess I’ll post the puzzle solution, so I don’t leave anyone in unbearable suspense.
Just in case.
….
Hey a birthday party doesn’t mean you can peek, especially if it’s not even your birthday!
Try to find them first, or you can’t have any cake!
But when you’re ready…
BTW this is a very east coast looking beach, or at least unfamiliar to me as a Californian.
Is this guy, as I assume, a vendor?
…
When I first started looking at it, I thought there was a woman sitting in a chair behind him, facing the other way.
Took me a few minutes to notice that her “dress” was a navy blue polka dot beach ball, and the chair was an inflatable shark.
And you guys think I have good powers of observation?
At least I find the ten differences. LOL
Got nine – and the one I’ve missed was way too subtle,
Eight. 😖
Nine, not bad with only two songs.
OK, honestly, I could have taken twice as much time and I still wouldn’t have found that one.
Found all Ten, wow, been a while. chocolate cake all mine!! just kidding, plenty for everyone. that tenth one took for ever and well hidden!
Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy!!! 😀
Yes, bunnies can have some also, thanks
Happy Birthday Bambushie.

Good thing too, lol, Thank you
Ok, Cleomigos y Cleomigas… I’m baaaack!

Happy birthday 🎶, Bambushie, happy birthday to yooo o🎶!
Beautiful, but is it enough for everyone! I’ll be here later, everyone enjoy and thanks to all, greatly thankful, even if I am terrible at spoilers!
