27. It's spelled "FLINT"
But thanks for mocking their plight. It at least shows that they haven't been completely forgotten in this country.

3. Remember Sylvester the cat...
and Tweety bird, the tiny caged canary that Sylvester is always trying to catch and eat, but Tweety always wins? Warner Brothers cartoon that was popular in the 40s through 60s, shown in movie theatres.

Matthews has some uncanny likeness to Tweety, but not the smart part. Certainly, not that.
