BTW…. I didn’t see a good place to put this so I’ll put it here…
I’ve never seen us get to page 2 so early in the comments. We have fewer than 40, but the page “turns” when a certain number of “top level” comments is reached… those are the ones made from the comment box on top, rather than below another post
So everybody must be doing that rather than posting replies.
Nothing wrong with that… I just want to say that
I’m about to post the puzzle solution.… Just in case anybody doesn’t see it, it’ll be on page two.
He was actually played by two different actors, one on land and one in the water.

Shoot, i guess I have to look them up, now that I said it wasn’t fair not to list them.
Okay…Ben Chapman on land, and Ricou Browning underwater.
It took so long to get Chapman into the rubber costume, he couldn’t take it off for breaks. He also couldn’t sit in it, and it was hot. So during breaks he’d submerge in the lake.
He was the only one who went to promotional events as the Gill Man. He had to be in costume, because Universal didn’t want people to know the monster was a man in a rubber suit. (Right… they were supposed to think he was real??)
Browning didn’t go because his role was secret. He was a stunt man, adept at swimming and underwater stunts.
He later invented and co-wrote the Flipper movie, then later wrote episodes of the TV show.
Had the indigenous people known then how valuable their technology would become 300 years later, they never would have sold Manhattan for 60 guilders.

Yeah, yeah, the story is usually told as $24…. but nobody had heard of dollars at that time. The only person who wrote anything about the deal was Dutch, as were the buyers, but he wasn’t one of them, and he said 60 guilders. I think 200 years later the exchange rate was $12 for 100 guilders, so somebody else wrote $24.
And no, it doesn’t matter, because it’s not true anyway…. and even if it did happen, it was not in the way we view property sales today.)
When Otis and Lincoln play, it sounds like they’re trying to kill each other. But no-one ever gets hurt. When they get tired, they lay down together on one of the dog beds, content to be best buddies.

MMMM!!!!
Banana-yogurt pupsicle? I used to do that for Maggie. And I baked doggie biscuits for her (oatmeal peanut butter). She had “issues”.
Owww…
My teeth hurt if I watch people OR dogs biting or chewing on ice!
I love ice cream, but I can’t bite a Popsicle. Brrrrr…

Not just cameras…. color film!
I’m really impressed.

Naw…. nobody’s ears are laid back, not that they always are… but they look playful.

Tigressy, no fair googling this!
I have my guess.
I know this one!
This word is fairly commonly used by English speakers, I’d say.
And Tigressy would be the least likely to have to Google it.
Please.
And I don’t – that’s why I don’t like certain movies.
