wheat germ and blackstrap molasses
Could he have played the character on one ep of Our Miss Brooks who ate wheat germ and blackstrap molasses & stood on his head with yogic intentions? --Jerzy·t 17:46, 2005 August 6 (UTC)

What were his parents' names? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.0.126.15 (talk) 19:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Health Hut?
Where was the Health Hut located? The implication is that it was somewhere in L.A. or Hollywood, but it should be specified. funkendub 03:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Article name
I have moved this article back to its original name, "Gypsy Boots". It's absurd & ridiculous to have it under a name that hardly anybody knows -- and contrary to the naming guidelines, which very sensibly say to use the most common name, as we do in most cases. (For example, "Groucho Marx" instead of "Julius Henry Marx", and "Yip Harburg" instead of "Edgar Yipsel Harburg".) I just ran a series of Google searchs, with the following results:


 * 597 for "robert bootzin"; 364 for "robert bootzin" -wikipedia
 * 313 for "boots bootzin"; 146 for "boots bootzin" -wikipedia
 * 26,900 for "Gypsy Boots"; 26,000 for "Gypsy Boots" -wikipedia

I rest my case.
