Actually, I was referring to the way Cheeto must be refeering to said flippers in White House meetings.

It's often been said he sounds just like a mafia boss in private - and no doubt now more than ever!

poor guy seemed to be allergic to shirts. I wasn't old enough to watch it first run but I did see it in reruns. Ah memories.

As a kid I always wondered why the dad had black hair, one son was blond and the other was a red head.

I'm sure Prince Charles wondered the same thing at least once or twice...

Richard "Ric" O'Barry is an American activist first recognized in the 1960s for capturing and training the five dolphins that were used in the TV series Flipper. O'Barry transitioned from training dolphins to instead advocating against industries that keep dolphins in captivity, soon after Kathy, one of the Flipper dolphins, died in his arms. O'Barry believes Kathy committed suicide.
